“Health Policy and Politics”
Program Transcript
[MUSIC]
NARRATOR: Crafting policy to address health care issues.
MARY WAKEFIELD: Now let's think about that public policy maker who is trying
to fashion a solution to one of those challenges of cost access or quality. What is
it that determines what the solution is that gets put on the table and how that
solution moves through the policy-making process?
NARRATOR: The important role nurses play in health care policy.
KATHLEEN M. WHITE: Every nurse should care about being involved in the
policy process because we are the experts in health care.
NARRATOR: And a perspective that is critical.
DEBORAH TRAUTMAN: I was told when I was on the Hill that all politics is local
and all health care is personal. And I think that, as nurses, we understand that.
NARRATOR: Getting started in the policy process.
CARMELA COYLE: Policy begins with a good idea. The problem is to try to
move from an idea and a concept and good research to a piece of legislation that
can actually pass can be a long and winding road.
NARRATOR: This week, are experts share insights into the policy process, the
politics of health care policy, and the invaluable role of the professional nurse.
MARY WAKEFIELD: When I first moved to Washington, D.C. and worked in the
public policy arena, I was a bit of a policy purest, if you will. It was my belief that
public health policies crafted to address access cost or quality were designed
based on, for example, good research, on doing the right thing, if you will. And it
didn't take me very long to figure out that in fact it's not just about good research
or what I might view as an obvious solution to a particular problem associated
with quality of health care.
In fact, there are a number of factors that influence what solution gets put on the
agenda, how that solution moves through the policy-making process, and
whether, in fact, it even survives through to the end of that policy-making
process.

There are a number of factors that influence health policy. Health policy can be
influenced by crises. Media can influence what gets put on the policy-making
agenda or how it's treated once it gets there. Political ideology. Personal
experiences of members of Congress can influence how they respond to a
particular health care challenge.
Research findings also can be influential. Special interest groups can exert a lot
of influence on what gets put on the health policy agenda. Constituents like each
of you who might draw the attention of your policymakers. It might be that you'll
draw the attention of your congressional delegation to a particular problem the
you're saying. So constituents can be a factor that influences health policy.
Market forces can also be a driver of health policy. In addition, fiscal pressures.
So you have a.
Addiction Counselling
A PPT of Addiction Counseling by Dr Komal Verma.
Addiction counselors help patients overcome dependence on drugs, alcohol, and destructive behaviors like gambling. Counselors intervene when patients are often at their lowest points in their struggles with addiction. A certified drug and alcohol counselor may also work with the families of addicts to assist the healing process. These professionals may work in outpatient facilities, inpatient rehabilitation centers, halfway houses, or hospitals.
What Is Drug Addiction
Drug addiction these days is becoming a very monstrous problem affecting the teens and the most productive section of the society. In fact this problem makes a very lasting impact economically as not only we lose a talented and productive individual but also a lot of energy and money is lost on this devastating habit. But the biggest challenge for the family and friends is to identify whether their loved one has become an addict. So here is an article that will not only tell you what is drug addiction but also the symptoms of drug dependence.

Inter generational equality and ecological resources
Indian Constitution defines “Right to Equality” guaranteed under Article 14, as; “Equality before law,” and reads as follows, “The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India.” (Singhvi, 2008) Article 14 read along-with Article 21 i.e. ‘Right to life,’ has acquired a much broader meaning with the broadest possible concept of equality among all. This concept of equality certainly extends to ‘equal rights for all people to enjoyment and use of nature’s gifts.’ The Indian Supreme Court has upheld it many a times and often interpreted this right as overriding the rights of artificial juristic persons, i.e. corporate engaged in purely economic activities.
The question to be considered here is, “Is this right to equality is limited to people living/existing presently or does this right extend and transcend future generations too?” Is it to be inferred that a person yet to be born after 200 years also have the same right over nature? Does this mean that equality has to be maintained across generations too? Therefore, is this inter-generational equality not only a basic human-right but also an enforceable legislative and constitutional right? Can we monetize and attach a notional value to something which does not belong to us? How can a future generation, due to come after 200 or 500 years ensure equality with present generation? Is this inter-generational ‘Right to Equality’ enforceable, and can it be effectively legislated? How can the levels of this inter-generational equality be calculated?
Industry Driven Science versus True Science
What is science supposed to do?
Search for Truth
Science is to provide a basic understanding of the subject and contributes in sum-total of intellect
Application of science is intended to help improve the overall quality of life in a wholesome manner.
Science should help to foresee the future holistically (cause, effect and consequences, in all its dimensions) and help in forecasting and solving the future issues within the control of human beings; without disturbing the overall equilibrium in any manner.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnataka
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!
Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
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.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.
