Leprosy is a communicable disease caused by bacterial infections that affects the skin and nervous system, causing lesions and deformities. While treatable with multi-drug therapy, leprosy was historically stigmatized due to the physical disfigurement it caused. Outreach Asia supports medical programs in developing countries that provide treatment for leprosy patients and address the social stigma through education and rehabilitation efforts to help patients live productive lives.

As a third world country, Haiti faces a lot of challenges. Improvements must be made in the areas of education, health care and socio-economic equality.
In 2010, the earthquake devastated much of the country’s healthcare infrastructure. St. Luke Foundation for Haiti and the Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) have made it their mission to confront Haiti’s challenges and to save lives through education, healthcare, and service to others. While Haiti has seen marked reduction in child malnutrition in recent years, there is still much progress to be made. Childhood malnutrition and food insecurity negatively affect physical growth, immune system development, and cognitive function, leading to long term impacts on overall health. St. Luke Foundation and ABF work to address problems of malnutrition through meal programs in their schools and sustainable agricultural support for local farmers. Dr. Beaubrun will present on the foundations’ mission and his experience in the field of nutrition action: projects based on nutrition and health action, agriculture action, HIV treatment and prevention, and distribution of food kits for HIV patients.

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!
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
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
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

History and organizational background (outreach asia)11
1. In developed countries with adequate sanitation and medical practices Leprosy is nearly unheard of. In underdeveloped and developing third world countries throughout Southeast Asia and other parts of the world, Leprosy is a fairly common occurrence. For hundreds of years those afflicted with Leprosy where shunned from the joys of daily social life. It caused strange deformations and lesions that were a result of bacterial infections which affected the skin and nervous system. Leprosy is a communicable disease that can be easily spread and has an incubation period as long as 3 years. Because of fear of the unknown, and the physical deformations that were caused by untreated Leprosy that led to skin infections of the lesions, people where ostracized because of their physical appearance. With today’s medications great strides are being made to eradicate the disease, but the social stigma still remains. Outreach Asia has helped to support hospitals, clinics, and outpatient programs that allow leprosy patients to be healthy, productive people again. These medical programs start by providing a Multi-Drug Therapy (MDT) which after several doses, depending on the severity of the bacterial infection, will cure the disease. These programs further address the issue by educating villagers on the cause and prevention of Leprosy through proper hygiene, good nutrition, and proper sanitation.

3. While this may seem a daunting task, by concentrating resources on the building of a solid infrastructure such as safe water supplies, upgrading educational resources, and addressing the medical needs and social pariah of leprosy, Outreach Asia has positively affected the lives of hundreds of people in the local communities they serve. Founded in 2000 by Mike & Gina Peck, Outreach Asia has strived to improve the impoverished lives of children and families living in the developing countries of Philippines.. Right now your generous donations are benefiting communities in, Vietnam and the Asia to stretch the generous dollars provided by grants and personal contributions and to use those funds where they are needed most…people who are poor and disadvantaged living in some of the world’s most Outreach Asia prides itself as a streamlined, efficient US 501(c)(3) Non-Profit charity organization, which provides over 96% of all donations to directly benefit those in need. Through a dedicated network of 100% volunteers, we minimize our administrative costs to just the bare necessities needed to provide these much needed services to the under-privileged of Southeast Asia.
4. This fiscal frugality allows .Outreach Asia was founded in 2000 by Mike and Gina Peck. Our mission is to improve the lives of the least fortunate in developing countries in Southeast Asia. In order to make the biggest difference, we focus our efforts on programs that build capacity, such as child and educational sponsorships, classrooms, housing, water systems, livelihood programs and medical assistance. Outreach Asia is an entirely volunteer organization whose administration costs represent less than 4% of our total yearly budget. As a result, 96% of all grants and donations go directly toward helping those who need it most – the poor and least advantaged of some of the world’s most under-developed countries.
5. For several years, we have been working with the Sisters of the Loving Cross in Ben tre, Vietnam and the Dominican Sisters in Mindanao, Philippines to help 262 people afflicted with leprosy. Christmas 2010 marked our third annual Christmas program. A $20 donation sponsored either a hamper of groceries and medicine to leprosy patients in Vietnam, or a hearty Christmas Eve dinner plus health care kit in the Philippines. Before we began this project, these people felt like no one on earth cared for them. thanks to your generosity, they now know this is not true
6. In addition to providing safe water supplies and proper educational opportunities, another burden on these communities is the Leprosy disease. For hundreds of years this disease has held many back from working their way out of poverty to a better life. Through Outreach Asia, we have established communities and aided clinics that provide the simple, yet essential medical treatment to overcome this affliction and also to provide emotional and occupational support to allow these people the chance of a normal life. For more on our work with this disease and it’s medical and social needs, please view our page on “Leprosy” from the menu on the left.
7. Each Christmas season, we ask sponsors to donate $20 to for a gift of health and food items for the people we serve in Vietnam and the Philippines who have leprosy. Please consider a sponsorship in 2011. 10 kg sack of rice 10 tablets of 500mg Paracetamol 10 bags of noodles 100 tablet bottle of Gastrogel 1 bottle soy sauce 10 tablet/pack B Complex 1 bottle cooking oil 1 bag detergent 1 tooth brush and paste 1 hair brush 2 bars of soap 1 bag of Vietnamese coffee 52 people with leprosy disease at a Leprosy Hospital receive new sheets, pillows and pillow cases from Outreach Asia – 2009
