potential target audiences.
An audience is a group of people who consume media. There are two types of media: passive consumption (Media 1.0) and interactive consumption (Media 2.0). Audiences are important because without them, there would be no profit from media productions. There are mass audiences of large, similar groups and niche audiences of smaller, unique groups. Socio-economic classifications categorize audiences based on occupation from high (A) to low (E). Target audiences are identified based on factors like age, gender, interests to effectively engage specific demographics.

COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS
This document discusses the relationship between COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS. It provides a brief overview of what each virus is, noting their modes of transmission and symptoms. Biologically, both viruses trigger cytokine production and can increase intestinal permeability. They also negatively impact neutrophil extracellular traps. Socially, the viruses affect similar communities and technological advancements have emerged in response to both. Statistics are presented showing the number of COVID-19 cases and HIV deaths. For those living with HIV, having a low CD4 count may increase their risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes. Further research is still needed on the ultimate effects of COVID-19 on those with HIV/AIDS.

The Biology of HIV/AIDS
This document summarizes key information about HIV/AIDS, including:
1) It explains what HIV and AIDS are, how HIV causes AIDS by attacking immune cells and leading to low CD4 cell counts, and the stages of progression from HIV to AIDS.
2) It describes how highly mutable HIV incorporates its RNA into human DNA, making it difficult to treat with vaccines.
3) Treatments for HIV/AIDS like antiretroviral therapy and pre-exposure prophylaxis are discussed, focusing on how antiretroviral therapy reduces viral load.
Healthcare Economics
This document provides an overview of healthcare economics and insurance related to HIV/AIDS. It discusses different types of insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, private), challenges with insurance coverage, and resources for HIV prevention and treatment medications like PrEP and PEP. It also examines socioeconomic inequities in access to treatment, with lower-income individuals less likely to receive needed drugs due to high costs.

The document provides resources for HIV/AIDS support and outlines National Asian and Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
Let's Talk About Sex (Work)!
This document discusses sex work and different policy approaches to regulating it. It defines sex work as the exchange of sexual services between consenting adults. There are over 1 million sex workers in the US generating $200 billion annually, with 14-20 million worldwide. Criminalization of sex work increases risks like HIV transmission and violence against workers. Decriminalization, removing criminal penalties, would decrease STIs/HIV and violence while increasing worker well-being and safety. Legalization through licensing/zoning could recreate an underground market with similar public health risks as criminalization. Decriminalization is identified as having the greatest impact on reducing HIV infections.
HIV/AIDS 101
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It infects and weakens the immune system. HIV can turn into AIDS when it damages the immune system to the point where the body has difficulty fighting infections and disease. AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids like blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. It can be spread through activities like unprotected sex and needle sharing. Over 36 million people globally have HIV. Stigma and discrimination against those with HIV undermine efforts to address the epidemic.

The Gay Plague: Queerness and HIV/AIDS
The document discusses the history of the relationship between queerness and HIV/AIDS, beginning with the Stonewall riots in 1969 and the election of Harvey Milk in 1978. It describes how HIV/AIDS was originally called Gay-Related Immune Deficiency or G.R.I.D due to its link to the queer community. ACT UP was founded in 1987 to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and end stigma through protests targeting the FDA, CDC, and other organizations. While ignorance and stigma remain issues, awareness has increased although people of color, especially trans and non-binary individuals, remain disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS.
The UCLA AIDS Institute
The UCLA AIDS Institute was founded by Dr. Ronald Mitsuyasu who conducts clinical trials in HIV-associated malignancies and immune-based therapies. The Institute's Center for Clinical AIDS Research and Education supports HIV clinical investigations. UCLA researchers were first to report HIV transmission through breast milk, discover HIV resistance, reduce mother-to-child transmission using AZT, and clear HIV from an infected infant. Recent accomplishments include modeling HIV latency, generating HIV-resistant stem cells, and indicating vulnerability of the gut to HIV. Associate Director Thomas Coates directs studies on men who have sex with men and clinical trials on destigmatizing HIV. Clinical psychologist Gail Wyatt analyzes relationships in the context of STIs/HIV
Current Research in HIV/AIDS
Researchers are reporting a second patient has been cured of HIV after stopping treatment without signs of the virus. This "London Patient" received stem cell transplants from a donor with a CCR5 gene mutation, which prevents HIV from entering cells. While promising, stem cell transplants are risky and not widely available. Gene editing technologies like CRISPR offer potential to disable CCR5, but human trials raise ethical concerns. Other advances include monthly injection drugs and pre-exposure prophylaxis pills, but access and affordability issues remain.
Global HIV Activism
The document summarizes the activism of several individuals in fighting HIV/AIDS stigma. Ryan White advocated after being expelled from school for having HIV, which helped pass the Ryan White Care Act. Gugu Dhama was stoned to death by her community in South Africa after revealing her HIV status. Jyoti Dhawale works with HIV/AIDS groups in India after contracting HIV due to medical negligence. Wan Yanhai founded HIV/AIDS organizations in China and helped expose a blood scandal after facing government pressure. The document calls for serving communities with equal relationships rather than fixing or helping with implied power dynamics.
International AIDS Conference
The document summarizes information about several international organizations related to HIV/AIDS: the United Nations, UNAIDS, IAS, and the International AIDS Conference. The UN was founded in 1945 and includes agencies like WHO, UNICEF, and the World Bank. UNAIDS was founded in 1996 to support the global response to HIV/AIDS through advocacy, monitoring, and resources. The IAS, founded in 1988, includes HIV researchers, clinicians, and policymakers and organizes the biannual International AIDS Conference, the largest conference on any global health issue. The 2018 conference was hosted in Amsterdam and focused on breaking barriers and building bridges.
Partners in Health and AMPATH
Partners in Health was founded in 1987 to bring modern medicine to underserved communities globally. It established its first project in Cange, Haiti in 1985, creating a fully functional hospital and pioneering the community-based healthcare model. This model centered around training local community health workers to provide personalized long-term care to patients and ensure treatment adherence. PIH also implemented Haiti's successful HIV programs and provided free antiretroviral therapy, challenging beliefs it wouldn't work in poor countries. Similarly, AMPATH was a partnership in Kenya that established one of Africa's most comprehensive and effective HIV treatment and management systems through testing, treatment, training of medical professionals, and empowering patients.
People of Color and HIV
This document discusses POC & HIV. It provides statistics showing that HIV diagnoses disproportionately affect black communities and LGBTQ communities in the US. It then explores some of the underlying reasons for these disparities, such as institutionalized racism, limited access to healthcare, poverty, and stigma. The document discusses the concepts of privilege and positionality, and how failing to consider power structures and root causes can perpetuate inequality. It poses questions about what roles the advocacy group PAC and its individual members can play in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Sex Work and HIV
Sex workers are more vulnerable to HIV due to social and legal factors that increase stigma, as well as the nature of sex work which can involve multiple partners and inconsistent condom use. Transgender sex workers are particularly at risk with HIV prevalence up to nine times higher than cisgender female sex workers due to social exclusion, economic vulnerability, and lack of opportunities. Efforts to decrease HIV transmission among sex workers include addressing violence, funding health and social services, empowering communities, and decriminalizing sex work.
Stigma
There are five types of stigma surrounding HIV: enacted stigma involving negative reactions, internalized stigma which is self-directed, anticipated stigma regarding expectations of stigmatization, concealable stigma that can be hidden but carries internal weight, and associative stigma from association with someone who has HIV. Governments, world leaders, and activists can influence stigma by creating or ending it. Individuals can work to reduce stigma by spreading positive stories and educating others.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Role of Mukta Pishti in the Management of Hyperthyroidism
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
Supertasters:
25% of the population with heightened sensitivity to taste, especially bitterness
Increased number of fungiform papillae

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.
