This lecture discusses the history of public health in the United States. It defines public health and lists some of the major public health achievements between 1900-1999, including vaccination, control of infectious diseases like smallpox and typhoid, and reductions in deaths from heart disease and stroke. The lecture also describes how public health has improved health care through better understanding of disease via epidemiology, improved data collection methods, increased training programs, and strengthened infrastructure at federal, state and local levels. Some key examples provided include John Snow's epidemiological investigation of a cholera outbreak and the long-term Framingham Heart Study.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Editor's Notes
Welcome to Introduction to Health Care and Public Health in the U.S.: Introduction to and History of Modern Health Care in the U.S. This is lecture b.
The component, Introduction to Health Care and Public Health in the U.S., is a survey of how health care and public health are organized and how services are delivered in the U.S. It covers public policy, relevant organizations and their interrelationships, professional roles, legal and regulatory issues, and payment systems. It also addresses health reform initiatives in the U.S.
The learning objectives for Introduction to and History of Modern Health Care in the U.S., are to:
Define key terms in health care and public health
Describe components of health care delivery and health care systems
Discuss examples of improvements in public health
Define core values and paradigm shifts in U.S. health care
And describe the technology used in the delivery and administration of health care
This lecture will provide a definition of public health, and detail how public health has improved health care.
According to Charles Edward Winslow, a famous American bacteriologist and public health expert in the first half of the 20th century, public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations both public and private, communities, and individuals.
More recently, Dr. Thomas Frieden, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, has noted that public health focuses on denominators, or the entire population, and who can benefit from public health interventions.
So what are the ten great public health achievements in the United States this century?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists them as: vaccination, motor vehicle safety, safe work places, control of infectious diseases, a decline in death from coronary heart disease and stroke, safer and healthier food, healthier mothers and babies, family planning, the fluoridation of drinking water, and the recognition of tobacco use as a health hazard.
It’s interesting that each of these achievements requires large populations to actively shift the way they think about illness and act in a large-scale fashion to make changes in behavior in order to successfully implement public health improvement. It’s also interesting that though scientific advancements have spearheaded many of these achievements, public education remains a primary motivator of public health achievements.
Let’s focus our attention on the control of infectious diseases. A classic example of public health success in this arena is the successful control of typhoid.
Typhoid is caused by bacteria, and is spread by ingesting contaminated food or water. The organism spreads through the body via the bloodstream, and causes a fever and a systemic, sometimes potentially fatal illness. In 1891, the typhoid death rate in Chicago alone was 174 per 100,000 people. Now, thanks to public health measures such as sanitation and improved hygiene, combined with the development of a vaccine, only about 400 cases are seen in the United States each year and most of these cases originate when patients travel in developing countries.
Another example of the role of public health in the successful control of infectious disease is smallpox. Smallpox is a devastating disease. It’s an epidemic viral illness and was responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century alone. No effective treatment was ever developed for the disease, and it killed about thirty percent of patients who were infected. Between sixty-five and eighty percent of those who survived the disease were marked with deep scars, most prominently on the face. As late as the 18th century, smallpox was responsible for the death of every tenth child born in France. In the early 1950s, there were about fifty million cases of smallpox each year worldwide. By 1967, this figure fell to ten-to-fifteen million, because of mass vaccination drives. By 1977, smallpox was eradicated. This was predominantly due to an aggressive public health program and the use of an effective vaccine.
Interventions dictated by public health have been responsible for the successful control of many nutritional deficiencies. An example is that of goiter. A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck, due to impaired thyroid hormone synthesis, due to lack of iodine in the diet. The solution to the problem of nutritional goiter in the United States was to fortify salt with iodine, which virtually eradicated the problem.
Another example is the reduction of tooth decay in the population. Frederic McKay, in 1891, first described the association between a reduction in the incidence of dental caries, or tooth decay, in populations, and the addition of fluoride to drinking water. In 1945, Dr. H. Trendley Dean and associates at the National Institute of Health, added fluoride to the drinking water in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and showed a subsequent reduction in caries. Now, more than 10,000 U.S. communities fluoridate their water.
So how has public health improved health care? Public health is directly responsible for improvement in understanding disease. Epidemiology is the basic science of public health. It is a quantitative basic science built on a working knowledge of probability, statistics, and sound research methods. It is a method of causal reasoning based on developing and testing hypotheses pertaining to occurrence and prevention of morbidity and mortality. Epidemiology is also a tool for public health action to promote and protect the public’s health based on science, causal reasoning, and a dose of practical common sense.
Here is an example of epidemiology at work: In 1854, an epidemic of cholera ravaged London, England. Cholera is a bacterial disease spread by contamination of food or water. Lack of sanitation and overcrowding were important factors that led to the spread of disease. Dr. John Snow, a physician, linked the spread of disease to a contaminated public water pump on Broad Street. Snow hypothesized that the disease was spread by contaminated water, and he used statistics to connect the quality of water to the number of cases of cholera.
Public health has also led to improvements in health care resulting from improvements in data collection and methods to carry out experiments. An example of this would be field surveys. In this type of research, data about individuals is collected in the field.
Progressive improvements in methodology have led to the use of improved scientific research designs. Cohort studies are one example. This is a form of a longitudinal study that follows two or more sets of patients. One set has the characteristic that is being considered, the other does not have the characteristic.
Randomized controlled trials, or RTCs, represent another improved scientific research design. RCTs reduce sampling bias in scientific studies. Patients who are otherwise identical are assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group receives an intervention, and the control group does not. This reduces the influence of confounding variables in data analysis.
An example of improvements in data collection leading to better public health is the Framingham heart study. In 1948, the National Heart Institute, which is now the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, and Boston University began the Framingham Heart Study. The study recruited men and women from the town of Framingham, Massachusetts, and followed them for a substantial number of years to attempt to identify factors that contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. Over the years, three generations of participants have helped to identify major cardiovascular disease risk factors. With the assistance of these patients, researchers have also attempted to understand the effects of cardiovascular disease risk factors on other diseases such as hypertension, also called high blood pressure, and dementia.
In addition to improvements in data collection, public health has also benefitted from improvements in data analysis. For example, use of tools such as multi-variate analysis and meta-analysis offer specialized options to analyze collective data. There has also been an improvement in disease surveillance. One example is the Real-time Outbreak and Disease Surveillance, or RODS Laboratory, which is a bio-surveillance research laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. This laboratory uses software and algorithms to monitor emergency rooms and retail stores to detect and assess disease outbreaks. As you can imagine, this is of immense use in the public health arena.
Public health has also benefitted from improvement in training. In the early twentieth century, in part due to the Welch-Rose report of 1915, and also partially because of the support of the Rockefeller Foundation, many schools of public health were established and began awarding professional degrees such as the Master of Public Health.
And finally, public health has also benefitted from improvement in infrastructure at the federal, state, and local health department levels.
This concludes lecture b of Introduction to and History of Modern Health Care in the U.S.
In summary, Public Health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health, and involves various organizations within society. Public education remains a primary motivator of public health achievements.
Public Health has significantly affected the control of infectious diseases, helped identify nutritional deficiencies, and contributed to a greater understanding of diseases. It has also supported improvements in data collection, training, and infrastructure.
