Livestock-Climate Change CRSP Annual Meeting 2011: Integrating Human Nutritio...Colorado State University
Tips for integrating human nutrition into research on the interaction between livestock/agricultural production and climate change; overview of the Global Livestock CRSP's ENAM project in Ghana. Presentation given by G. Marquis (McGill University) at the Livestock-Climate Change CRSP Annual Meeting, Golden, CO, April 26-27, 2011.
A health promoting school (HPS) is a school that constantly seeks to strengthen its capacity to promote healthy living, learning and working conditions (WHO). It aims to provide a multifaceted response to the health needs of students.
http://www.unileverhealth.co.za/about | There are 195 million children in the world who have not developed adequately and are too short for their age. There are also 42 million children below the age of five who are obese. What all these children have in common is that they have not received the right nutrition growing up. That is why Unilever Health has made child nutrition one of its main focus points. Unilever prides itself on producing products that are conducive to a child’s development and educating people on the nutrition needs of children.

Overview
The Massachusetts Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration Project, known as Mass In Motion, is a state-wide initiative to promote a healthy lifestyle in places where people work, live and play. The initiative was funded by in 2011 by a grant through the Affordable Care Act with a goal to create a multilevel and multisector intervention strategy to prevent and control obesity, combining interventions in the health care setting with public health interventions in the community. (Davison et al., 2015)The project was designed to be a comprehensive wellness initiative, incorporating evidence-based interventions in primary healthcare with community programs, WIC and other nutrition programs, as well as early childhood education centers and schools/afterschool programs. The goal was to form a partnership among the many different social and environmental factors that effect a child’s health and well-being, as well as to identify and target these factors to institute a change in health behaviors. (MA-CORD Study Group, 2015)
The program began as a part of a 2009 initiative started by Governor Deval Patrick which funded projects in 14 cities and towns across Massachusetts. In 2011 the state was awarded a grant through the CDC which allowed the program to be expanded to cover 52 Massachusetts cities and towns, impacting 33% of the state population, and as of 2014 there are 60 cities and towns with active Mass in Motion projects. While the main focus of the CORD component, funded by the CDC was on children 2-12 year sold, the Mass In Motion program has also developed programs for improving worksite health and overall community health. These programs have increased workplace productivity, lowered stress levels, encouraged weight loss, and improved green space across the state. (Mass in Motion, 2016)
Theoretical Approach
The framework of Mass in Motion is the social ecological model, a model which looks at the complex relationships between an individual, his/her personal relationships, community, institutional elements, community, and overall social policy. This framework is not designed to distinguish one factor as a reason or cause for the obesity, but rather looks at the interaction of these factors and how they can effect individual risk for obesity. The MA-CORD Study Group then developed interventions based on Social Cognitive Theory, recognizing and emphasizing the importance of social influence and reinforcement for behavior change.
Figure 1. MA-CORD Intervention Sectors
As seen in Figure 1, the project is designed to combat childhood obesity by impacting the individual and environmental factors that can contribute to living a non-healthy lifestyle. At the individual level, children and parents are both given information and support to develop healthy habits while in the school .

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

1. The Media Branding Healthy
Lifestyle as “Cool”
Rachel Wilf-Miron, MD, MPH
Director, Healthy Living
2. Motivation for Action: Local Facts
26% of Israeli children are categorized as either overweight or
obese
Israel is ranked last amongst 41 Western countries in the
proportion of 15-year olds who are regularly physically active
Israeli youth are less likely to eat breakfast before school and
more likely to drink sweetened drinks at least once a day
Children from less affluent communities demonstrate higher
rates of obesity and lower rates of physical activity.
3. Recruiting the Media to Tackle Obesity
Tackling childhood obesity requires a normative cultural
change, in which the media is a major player.
The media is often accused of contributing to obesity by
promoting unhealthy food commercials and a sedentary
lifestyle
A Paradigm Shift : A media company has decided to recruit its
platforms to lead this change on a national level
Ananey Communication runs 15 TV channels & internet
platforms, develops interactive media and owns production
firms.
5. Healthy Living
A national initiative, led by the media, to encourage
1) Physical activity
2) Water drinking
3) Healthy nutrition
6. Healthy Living – Core Values
Branding health behaviors as “cool” and therefore easy to
adopt, especially among the younger generation
360° massive media exposure, by recruiting TV channels,
VOD, internet, social media and smartphone applications, on
a long term basis, 365 days a year.
Field outreach: fun activities led by "TV talents" are filmed to
create televised clips, fillers and documentaries.
7. Focus, Focus, Focus
The 3 sides of the triangle
represent the following
selected health–related
behaviors:
1. Physical Activity
2. Drinking Water
3. Healthy Eating
8. The Media as the Messenger
Through youth-targeted clips, commercials and segments, the
Media can effectively relay both direct and indirect healthrelated messages, for example:
Direct message: Eating breakfast is the way to start the day
before going to school (easy to present on TV and Facebook)
Indirect message: Healthy ingredients such as whole wheat
bread are great ingredients to use for breakfast
11. Healthy Living at ORT
ORT is the largest educational network in Israel
The model for media-led, school-based intervention was
developed as a joint venture with Ananey and ORT
The pilot program was launched in January 2013, in two
junior high schools, in cooperation with the R&D and Training
Administration in ORT.
12. The Objectives of The Pilot
1) To evaluate the feasibility of a newly designed initiative, led by
the Media, to promote healthy lifestyle among students and
2) To increase knowledge, shape attitudes and change students'
behaviors regarding the 4 major themes on which "Healthy Living"
focuses:
Drinking Water;
Eating Breakfast
Eating Family Meals
Regular Physical Activity
13. The Intervention
Introducing the program to school administrations and tailoring
it to fit local needs;
Recruitment of “Young Leaders," 65 eighth grade students, as
agents of change among their peers.
Young Leaders were provided with workshops, lectures and
educational materials. A production expert guided them in the
planning and execution of health-promoting activities.
14. Young leaders and the program
coordinator, showcasing a healthy lifestyle in the
schoolyard
16. The Intervention (cont’d)
Six special days or "peaks" of activity were organized for 280
junior high students (7-8th grade).
The six days included activities such as aerobic fitness,
kickboxing, learning how to prepare fresh family
meals and make a healthy sandwich for school, and culminated
with a closing MTV dance party.
19. A well-known chef and student cooking
experience, to encourage family meals
20. Methods
Effectiveness was evaluated by examining the change in
knowledge, attitudes and reported behavior among 3 groups:
young leaders, peers (7-8th grades) and a control group (9th grade
students who were not exposed to the intervention).
Students completed questionnaires “before and after.”
An external evaluation was conducted.
21. Results (1)
At the launch of the program all 3 groups were similar in
knowledge, attitudes and behaviors.
Following the program, the groups differed significantly in PA
(knowledge and % of those regularly active), breakfast eating
related behavior and water drinking/sugary drinks consumption
Young leaders demonstrated the best scores.
22. Results (2)
Separate comparisons of each group (pre-post) revealed that
the young leadership group demonstrated statistically
significant changes in most study parameters
The peer group demonstrated significant changes with
respect to knowledge of proper eating habits and perception
of the importance of family meals, but failed to demonstrate
behavioral change.
The control group did not demonstrate any significant change.
23. Knowledge, Attitudes and Behavior – Before (n=58) and
After the Initiative (n=57): Young Leadership Group.

P Value
25. Media Campaign
A Healthy Living campaign directed towards families (mothers)
and children began airing in August 2013.
Youth campaign, including a Beyoncé style clip for the MTV
channel is currently in production
Future directions: Edutainment - Incorporating healthy
messages in wildly successful youth TV series
29. Conclusions
The pilot program created, in a short period of time, considerable
improvement of heath-related knowledge, attitudes and
behaviors among the young leaders.
Incorporating the media into the program helped reinforce health
promotion messages and created a "buzz".
The model of students as agents of change seems effective
Modest effect on peers may be explained by sub-optimal
exposure.
30. What’s Next
The ORT pilot will be continued and expanded (2 new schools
will be joining this year)
A Healthy Living campaign directed towards families (mothers)
and children began airing in August 2013.
Youth campaign, including a Beyoncé style clip for the MTV
channel is currently in production
31. Healthcare & The Media
“Loui, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”…
