The document discusses IFPRI's program on HIV/AIDS and food and nutrition security. It notes that HIV/AIDS and food insecurity are linked in a cycle where malnutrition increases susceptibility to HIV while AIDS exacerbates hunger and malnutrition, particularly impacting rural communities dependent on agriculture. The program examines links between HIV/AIDS, agriculture, livelihoods, community resilience, and nutrition security. It works through the Regional Network on AIDS, Livelihoods & Food Security across several African countries to understand impacts and responses.

Lives Turned Upside Down: The Impact of Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a rare inflammatory disease that can affect any organ and impacts over 200,000 people in the United States. It often takes years to diagnose, with over 14% of patients waiting over 5 years. The disease leaves patients feeling like "a shell of a man" and "not that queen" they once were, as it disrupts their ability to work, participate in family life, and causes fatigue, side effects of medication, depression, and more. A survey found the top burdens of sarcoidosis are fatigue, side effects of medication, inability to work, depression, and its effects on family life.
Hiv effects
HIV can have significant negative effects on individuals, nations, and the world. For individuals, HIV can cause social and economic distress as well as declining health if they cannot access antiretroviral drugs. This increases the number of infected people and burdens nations. Nations must spend large amounts of money on prevention or treatment of HIV, which can lead to economic problems. Globally, HIV is considered a pandemic by the WHO and may require international cooperation to control infection rates, though rates of death from HIV are declining in most countries. However, some countries may continue to struggle with HIV if they do not promote prevention methods like sexual education and family planning.

Poverty, Agriculture and Health: Lessons from the HIV Response
The document discusses the interactions between poverty, agriculture, food insecurity, malnutrition, and HIV/AIDS in Africa. It outlines three coexisting crises - livelihood/food insecurity, HIV/AIDS, and malnutrition - and how they relate. Vulnerable groups like orphans and youth-headed households are more susceptible to the impacts. Responses need to address the upstream, midstream, and downstream effects through integrated agriculture, social protection, HIV, nutrition, and livelihood programs. Lessons highlight the need to consider the livelihood context, balance understanding and action, and scale up through capacity building beyond individual projects.

Over the last century, significant progress has been made in public health and increasing life expectancy. Community health involves both individual actions and organized community efforts to promote health. The factors that influence community health include physical, social, cultural, and economic factors. Community organizing brings people together to identify common goals and implement strategies. Both personal health behaviors and herd immunity play roles in community health. Looking to the past can help communities better plan for the future. Current goals aim to attain high quality, longer lives for all through health equity, healthy environments, and healthy behaviors across all stages of life.

This document discusses diabetes, including what causes it and its relationship to public health. It notes that demographic, surveillance, and vital statistics data can provide background on communities and track health conditions. Several factors influence diabetes prevalence, like weight, exercise, age, family history, race and gender. The effects of diabetes extend from communities to states and nations. Possible solutions include education, diet, exercise, stress management and commitment. The goal is to reduce the disease and economic burden of diabetes.
GFPR 2021 Report Overview
This document summarizes the key impacts of COVID-19 on food systems and policies in low and middle-income countries. It discusses how the pandemic led to declines in GDP growth and increases in unemployment globally. It also outlines the various lockdown and health measures, stimulus packages, and social protections implemented by six example countries. The document then analyzes regional differences and impacts in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. It concludes by discussing challenges around nutrition, the environment, inclusion, efficiency, and resilience and calls for continued support for vulnerable groups and cross-sectoral coordination.
Sustainable intensification?: Implications for the emergence of diseases
This document summarizes research on the implications of agricultural intensification for the emergence of diseases. It finds that while societies with intensified agriculture have a lower burden of zoonotic disease, most new disease emergence since the 1930s has occurred in countries with intensive systems. Recent emergence has disproportionately affected developing countries. The review identified factors associated with increased risk of disease emergence, such as habitat fragmentation, reduced wildlife biodiversity, and human encroachment on natural ecosystems. It also noted complex relationships between intensification and disease emergence. Understanding these relationships could help target surveillance in high-risk areas and factor disease prevention costs into agricultural intensification plans.

The document discusses malnutrition in India, its causes, effects, and government programs to address it. Key points:
- 25% of the world's hungry live in India, where malnutrition affects women, children and the elderly most severely. It increases risk of disease by weakening the immune system.
- Common causes of malnutrition in India include poverty, food prices, climate impacts on agriculture, and additional nutrient needs during pregnancy/breastfeeding that are often unmet.
- Government programs aim to reduce malnutrition through school meal schemes, mother-child development programs, and other initiatives. However, challenges like poor implementation, corruption and economic issues have limited their effectiveness.
- Addressing one major cause, such as

- The study assessed the impact of COVID-19 on dietary intake and nutritional status of pregnant women and children under 2 who were beneficiaries of a livelihood program in Bangladesh. It found that before COVID, the project beneficiaries had significantly better dietary diversity and nutritional outcomes. During COVID, these differences diminished as livelihoods and access to food and healthcare declined. The findings suggest the need for emergency food rations and maintaining nutrition support during crises to prevent worsening malnutrition.

The Pozitively Healthy consumer coalition announces a partnership with Pfizer to launch the "At Risk? Vaccinate Now!" awareness campaign on National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day. The campaign aims to educate those over 50 living with HIV on the risks of pneumonia and flu, and the importance of staying up to date on CDC recommended vaccinations. It will distribute messaging through social media, organizations, and an upcoming webinar. The campaign timing is meant to raise awareness during cold and flu season when respiratory illness risks increase.
Ebola
The document discusses the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. It notes that on March 5, the last Ebola patient in Liberia, Beatrice Yardolo, was discharged from an Ebola treatment center, bringing Liberia's total cases down to zero. However, Liberia will not be declared Ebola-free until 42 days pass without any new cases, which is twice the virus's incubation period. While progress has been made in Liberia, cases have recently increased again in Sierra Leone and Guinea, and health workers there have faced attacks from distrustful communities, threatening control of the outbreak across the region. Education of communities and trust in health workers are essential to fully stopping the spread of the virus by
Age of socialized public health
The document discusses the history and development of public health in developing countries. It traces how public health initially focused on health promotion and disease prevention but failed to control diseases due to an overemphasis on biomedical approaches without community involvement. This led to infectious diseases remaining a major public health problem alongside a growing burden of non-communicable diseases. Some key non-communicable diseases discussed are cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers, tobacco and alcohol use, and mental health issues. The document advocates for comprehensive policy interventions rather than just individual behavior change and promotes establishing basic health facilities, health promotion programs, and healthy public policies to address disease risks at the population level.

The Omnicom Group Research study, 'The Impact of COVID-19 on Indian Consumer Sentiments', shares insights into the outlook of Indians towards the COVID-19 pandemic, changing consumer sentiments, and evolving media consumption in India as a result.
Afghanistan nutrition based policy
The document summarizes Afghanistan's nutrition policy and recommendations. It notes that Afghanistan has suffered from war and poverty for decades, resulting in widespread undernutrition among women and children. The public nutrition policy prioritizes promoting child and maternal nutrition through various interventions like nutrition education, infant feeding programs, and treating acute malnutrition. Key issues include high rates of micronutrient deficiencies like iron, iodine and vitamin A among children. Poverty is widespread, with 40% of Afghans living on less than $0.45 per day. Recommendations include increasing nutrition awareness, promoting appropriate infant feeding practices, reducing micronutrient deficiencies, strengthening treatment of acute malnutrition, and building national nutrition monitoring and response capacity.
Access to health and agricultural extension services
The document summarizes research on access to health and agricultural extension services in rural Ethiopia. It finds that the most remote rural households have less exposure and access to these important services. Remote farmers and those in remote villages are less likely to be visited by Development Agents and receive advice on agriculture. While Health Extension Workers do not vary as much by remoteness of villages, the most remote households within villages have less contact with HEWs. The research concludes that remoteness negatively impacts both nutritional outcomes and delivery of services, suggesting investments in rural roads and incentives for extension agents in remote areas could help address this challenge.
Eight millennium goals
The document discusses the Eight Millennium Goals, specifically goal 4 on child health. It lists the targets and indicators for reducing child mortality. It then discusses the major causes of child deaths which are pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS, and undernutrition. Undernutrition is an underlying cause in over half of child deaths each year. The document provides key details on the impact and prevention of these causes of child mortality.

This document proposes solutions to reduce malnutrition globally. It states that malnutrition affects billions and contributes to millions of child deaths daily from lack of essential nutrients. It recommends providing affordable vitamin/mineral supplements to vulnerable people and encouraging communities to improve food production/consumption. The proposed solutions aim to integrate health services, ensure quality care, alleviate cost barriers, and receive funding from eliminating user fees and establishing cash transfer systems. However, challenges include lack of political will due to funding issues, lack of awareness, and orthodox societies.
Diseases 2 IX
The document discusses various potential causes of chronic diseases and poor health in babies and children including infectious diseases passed through unclean water or viruses, malnutrition due to genetic differences or poor public services, and non-infectious diseases.

Integration of HIVAIDS Activities with Food and Nutrition Support
Integration of HIVAIDS Activities with Food and Nutrition Support School Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
This document provides guidance on integrating HIV/AIDS activities into food and nutrition programs for refugees, and incorporating food/nutrition support into HIV/AIDS programs. It identifies 20 specific integrated strategies, such as using food distributions to raise HIV awareness, providing extra rations to HIV-affected households, and using food to support HIV training for community health workers. The strategies aim to address the interactions between HIV, malnutrition, and livelihoods in refugee populations with high HIV prevalence.small HIV/AID-Eelisa,Dawson,Matteo, Kevin
HIV/AIDS is a global pandemic that is severely affecting South Africa. It is an incurable disease that weakens the immune system and leaves those infected vulnerable to other illnesses. South Africa has a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, with 29.1% of pregnant women infected. SOS Children operates in South Africa caring for children orphaned by or infected with HIV/AIDS, providing them with shelter, education, and medical care.
The Impact of HIV/AIDS on Rural Household Welfare in Rukungiri District-Uganda
Many able bodied household members in Rukungiri district have died of
HIV/AIDS. Consequently there are many house heads (often young and married) whose partners
died. This study investigated the impact of HIV/AIDS on rural household welfare in Rukungiri
district. A control group approach was used. Data was collected by the use of questionnaires and
empirical observation from both the affected households and unaffected households. The study
aimed at finding out how HIV/AIDS has led to depletion of households’ productive assets. A
binary logistic regression analysis was used to establish whether there is a significant difference
in the sources of income for medical expenses between the affected households and unaffected
households with the aim of finding out the extent to which HIV/AIDS has led to depletion of
households’ productive assets and consequent deterioration in households’ welfare. The study has
established that HIV/AIDS has led to deterioration in the welfare of the affected households
through exhaustion of savings and increased borrowing, with the end result of depletion of
productive assets leaving the survivors with minimal means of survival. Productive assets
commonly depleted include; land, cattle, goats, chicken, sewing machines, wheelbarrows and
bicycles. However, affected households have adopted many coping strategies including those that
aim at improving food security, raising and supplementing their incomes so as to maintain their
expenditure patterns, and coping with loss of labour. Since emergency traditional indigenous
groups are already operating in all the communities in the district acting as a source of
psychosocial support to individuals and communities affected by HIV/AIDS with their activities
such as assisting with burial ceremonies, communal farming, supporting sick patients, rebuilding
dwellings and rehabilitating farms, supporting survivors and creating income generating activities
and providing material support, the study recommends government support in collaboration with
donor agencies to provide them with training in HIV/AIDS home care support and enough funds to
enable them meet their requirements. Government in collaboration with NGOs operating in the
area should introduce short-term training courses in the affected areas to empower the survivors
with practical skills and equip them with capital that can enable them create jobs for themselves.
Further, improving agricultural yields through teaching them modern farming practices, provision
of free anti-retroviral therapies by the government to all the affected households, accompanied by
provision of food rations for boosting nutritional requirements would reduce the depletion of
productive assets of these households.

Current strategies like education and antiretroviral therapy alone are not enough. Research shows that micronutrient deficiencies compromise the immune system and increase vulnerability to HIV. Studies find selenium and other micronutrient supplementation can lower viral loads, increase CD4 counts, and reduce mortality and opportunistic infections for people living with HIV/AIDS. However, micronutrition is not yet part of mainstream response. The organization is conducting a trial in South Africa to test if broad-spectrum micronutrient supplementation in a food form along
Implications for Policy and Programming: Reflections from the RENEWAL Study,...
This document discusses the implications of an inadequate diet among urban informal settlers in South Africa. It finds that residents of informal settlements have double the HIV prevalence of formal urban areas and are more likely to have deficient dietary diversity scores. A variety of foods is needed to ensure adequate nutrient intake, but many low-income people select cheaper, less healthy diets high in sugar and fat due to economic factors. An inadequate diet can lead to both undernutrition and overnutrition. Addressing food insecurity requires looking at issues of access, availability, and utilization in a holistic way.
PowerPoint presentation related to social welfare
The document discusses various national and international child welfare agencies that work to promote the welfare and upliftment of children in areas such as health, education, and family support. It describes agencies like UNICEF, WHO, and World Bank that provide services internationally as well as national agencies in India such as Indian Council for Child Welfare, Central Social Welfare Board, and Indian Red Cross that work on issues like education, healthcare, nutrition, and protection of children's rights.

Speaker: Ms Zamazulu Mtshali – Deputy Manager for the Integrated Nutrition Programme (INP), KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health
Ms Mtshali's presentation will highlight studies that show the presence of nutritional transition in KwaZulu-Natal, where both under and over-nutrition are prevalent. Within the context of the HIV and AIDS pandemic and food insecurity, the high prevalence of under-nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and emergent over-nutrition presents a complex series of challenges.
Over the years, significant gains have been made with regards to scaling up nutrition, with the development of policies and guidelines for the implementation of nutrition strategies. There is now a renewed focus on specific priority groups for nutrition interventions to have a bigger impact.
Silence no more m. pala
Marama Pala Ngātiawa ki Kapiti, Kaiwhakahaere/Executive Director (INA), an HIV positive Māori woman, plans to promote the visibility of Indigenous People’s HIV and AIDS issues; to increase the support from local, regional and international Indigenous people.
“History shows us that HIV is not openly discussed at Indigenous conferences. It’s an issue that gets left off the agenda.” says Marama Pala, “Even though Indigenous Peoples experience high rates of HIV and AIDS, it needs to be made visible at all Indigenous conferences and gatherings. It’s time that all Indigenous peoples became aware that we are a marginalised community vulnerable to HIV”
Indigenous people globally continue to under represented in HIV prevention, research, policy and funding initiatives, and this contributes to ongoing HIV disparities and resource allocation. The stigma within Indigenous communities further marginalises this health issue, making it difficult to discuss.
“I hope am able to stress the importance of HIV, speaking openly about HIV and facing the stigma of HIV with my Indigenous and aboriginal brothers and sisters” urges Marama. “Silence No More...for the sake of my HIV negative children; we need to eliminate stigma and discrimination and make our people safe.”
Combating Poverty & Famine in Uganda
Africa is a continent with dreadful poverty and problems of resource shortages. Estimates are that climate change and population pressure will see 85 million people migrate from that continent in the next 40 years. And yet there are people and organizations trying to do something about these problems and make a difference.
In this Presentation we look at the work of ICODI a registered non-profit organization located in Mbarara District-South Western Uganda. Its mission is “To work with and through individuals and communities to improve on the economic, health and social wellbeing of the rural and urban poor communities in Uganda”. The goal is to reduce on the high levels of famine, poverty, ill health and illiteracy in the rural communities and urban poor communities in Uganda.

Community-Based Agricultural Interventions in the Context of Food
Community-Based Agricultural Interventions in the Context of Food School Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
This document reviews community-based agricultural interventions for food and nutrition security in South Africa. It finds that while South Africa is food secure at a national level, many people experience food insecurity and malnutrition due to poverty. Home gardening and small-scale food production have potential to address this by improving access to nutritious foods. Successful models in other countries emphasize year-round production of a variety of vegetables and fruits in home gardens. However, interventions must consider local context and challenges like water scarcity. Overall, the document argues that community-based agricultural projects can make an important contribution to household nutrition if done through integrated programs.Ganesh yeole (hiv and aids)
This document discusses AIDS and HIV. It begins by defining AIDS as a syndrome caused by the HIV virus. It then provides statistics on HIV prevalence worldwide and in certain countries like India and South Africa. It describes common symptoms of HIV infection and how the virus is spread. The document emphasizes the importance of educating people about HIV/AIDS to reduce stigma and discrimination. It lists some preventive measures against HIV transmission and discusses how some countries are integrating HIV/AIDS education into their school curriculums through the Global Partnership for Education.
Aids And Child Nutrition In Africa
The document discusses how AIDS has severely impacted children in Africa by infecting many newborns and causing high mortality rates. It outlines the effects of HIV/AIDS on children including family responsibilities, dropping out of school, and becoming orphaned. Losing parents and caregivers perpetuates poverty, malnutrition, lack of access to healthcare and education, and continued spread of HIV/AIDS across communities in Africa. Comprehensive interventions are needed to address the epidemic through prevention, treatment, education, nutrition programs, and poverty alleviation.
Innovation in Agriculture and NRM in Communities Confronting HIV/AIDS
Innovation in Agriculture and NRM in Communities Confronting HIV/AIDSSchool Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
This document reviews international experience on the role of agriculture and natural resource management in preventing and alleviating HIV/AIDS. It discusses how rural livelihoods dependent on agriculture and NRM can influence the spread of HIV infection and how HIV/AIDS in turn undermines these livelihoods. Local innovations that have helped address HIV/AIDS are described. The review outlines key features of HIV/AIDS epidemics and their relationship to rural livelihoods. Food insecurity can increase risky sexual behaviors and susceptibility to infection, while illness and death from AIDS undermines households' agriculture and natural resource management. Local innovations play a role in addressing HIV/AIDS but often face constraints.AIDS IN AFRICA REPORT FROM BOAZ
This document reports on the current situation of AIDS in Africa according to a 2015 report by Boaz Turyahikayo, a Ugandan social worker. It discusses how certain cultural practices in Africa have contributed to the spread of HIV/AIDS, such as having multiple sexual partners. It also describes how ARV drugs are now more accessible but many still die from AIDS each year. The document outlines the work of Boaz's organization, SSC Katuna, which helps orphaned and HIV+ children in Uganda by providing food, education, healthcare and fighting for their rights. It includes budget proposals for farming projects to generate income to support over 45 children under their care.

Some Welfare Consequences of COVID-19 in Ethiopia
1) The study examines the impacts of COVID-19 on food marketing margins in Ethiopia using phone surveys of farmers, wholesalers, and retailers conducted in February 2020 and May 2020.
2) The surveys found that over 50% of farmers reported receiving less income in May compared to usual times, though most planned to continue vegetable production. Wholesalers reported decreased transport options and client numbers but stable or lower costs, while most retailers saw lower client numbers but stable or lower costs and losses.
3) Retail prices for the main vegetables remained quite stable between February and May, suggesting marketing margins absorbed most impacts of COVID-19 disruptions on vegetable supply chains in Ethiopia during the

and it is us who will be affected most by the decisions we take today on Aids/HIV epidemic, climate change, food, energy, environmental degradation, economic stability and the continuing challenge of world poverty.
Such decisions will influence the shape and quality of our future lives and could even dictate how long we will live. So it is very important that us, as individuals and as a group, take a keen interest in these issues now – and make absolutely sure our views are heard.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
