Malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis continue to have devastating impacts in Africa due to lack of access to health care and medicines. Malaria alone causes over 350 million illnesses and kills over 1 million people annually, mostly pregnant women and children in Africa. Over 30% of medicines in Africa are counterfeit, containing nothing effective. HIV/AIDS has created over 13 million orphans in sub-Saharan Africa, with 22 million people currently living with HIV. Tuberculosis is also on the rise, with 30 million predicted deaths and 300 million new infections in the next 10 years, especially affecting those in conflict areas without adequate health facilities and access to treatment.

Presentation Emma,Caitlin,Steph,Nikki X
Tropical diseases greatly impact development in poorer countries. They thrive in hot, humid conditions common in less developed countries (LEDCs) where poverty, poor sanitation, and malnutrition are widespread. Diseases like malaria, sleeping sickness, and diarrhea infect millions in LEDCs annually, draining money from these countries' economies that could otherwise be used for development. As tropical diseases are both caused and exacerbated by poverty, they form a vicious cycle that hinders LEDCs' ability to develop and improve living standards.
Sustaining the End of AIDS with Mobile Analytics
In the most recent UNAIDS Press Statement, UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidiblé, explains recent goals for stopping new HIV infections and how we can end AIDS by 2030. With combined efforts and the Sustainable Development Goals, our generation has the potential to end a global epidemic that has claimed millions of lives for over 30 years.

HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact in Africa, with 24.5 million people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. It has caused high death rates, especially among young adults, and has left many orphans and widows. Poverty exacerbates the epidemic, as many cannot afford treatment. Behavior changes, voluntary counseling and testing, making antiretroviral drugs more accessible and affordable, reducing mother-to-child transmission, fighting stigma, and increasing education are some of the solutions that could help curb the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa.

Hiv causes
HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, blood transfusions, and childbirth. In Southern Africa, economic factors like poverty and lack of education, sociocultural factors like polygamy and harmful myths, and demographic factors like population growth and polygamy have contributed to the spread of HIV. Past political failures to address HIV in South Africa also exacerbated the epidemic, though current leaders are pursuing prevention and affordable treatment options. Overall, Africa has suffered greatly from HIV due to economic difficulties following colonization that have led to widespread poverty and lack of education.

Hiv aids presentation
HIV originates from non-human primates in Africa and was transmitted to humans through bushmeat consumption and exposure to infected blood. It has evolved into a global pandemic transmitted primarily through sexual contact, blood transfusions, and from mother to child. The virus infects CD4 cells of the immune system and progresses through four stages - from an initial infection with flu-like symptoms, to a long asymptomatic stage, then a symptomatic stage with opportunistic infections, and finally AIDS where the immune system is severely compromised. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can effectively control the virus and prevent transmission from mother to child.
Diseases caused by protista
Malaria and dysentery are both diseases caused by protista. Malaria is caused by the plasmodium parasite and transmitted via anopheles mosquitoes. It occurs most commonly in sub-Saharan Africa. Symptoms include fever, chills, and vomiting, and if untreated can cause serious illness or death. Dysentery is caused by the entamoeba histolytica parasite and transmitted via contaminated water or food. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea with blood or mucus, and fatigue. Both diseases are treated with drugs like antimalarials or antibiotics.
Presentation 23 1 (1)
The document discusses AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome), which is caused by the HIV virus. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing infected needles, and from infected mothers to their children. The virus enters immune cells and replicates, eventually killing helper T-cells and leaving the body unable to fight infections. AIDS is diagnosed through antibody tests and treated with antiretroviral drugs, which can prolong life but not prevent death. Prevention efforts focus on education, safe blood supplies, safe needle use, condom distribution, and controlling drug abuse.
HIV-AIDS. Facts
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). HIV weakens a person's immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection when the immune system is severely damaged and opportunistic infections or cancers begin. While HIV was discovered in the US in 1981, it is believed to have originated from central Africa in the early 20th century. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but treatment with antiretroviral drugs can control the virus and prevent transmission.

Hiv
HIV/AIDS was first identified in the 1980s but may have originated in Africa in the late 1950s. While drug treatments and education have slowed its spread in some areas, most people in Africa with HIV are unaware of their status. HIV is a retrovirus that can develop into AIDS if not properly managed, though it cannot be cured. It is most often transmitted through bodily fluids like blood, semen, and vaginal fluids or from mother to child. Prevention methods include abstinence, monogamy, condom use, sterile needles, and new blades. Sub-Saharan Africa has the most HIV cases, with 18% of new global infections. Efforts are needed to increase testing,
Hiv and Aids Presentation
HIV develops into AIDS which weakens the immune system and leaves the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, birth, or breastfeeding. While there is no cure for AIDS, antiretroviral drugs can suppress HIV and prevent development into AIDS. The presentation highlighted regions in sub-Saharan Africa most impacted by HIV/AIDS based on numbers of people living with and dying from the disease.
Neglecgted tropical disease: in context to Nepal
This document discusses neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Nepal. It provides definitions of NTDs from various organizations and lists the common NTD infections. In Nepal, the major NTDs are trachoma, lymphatic filariasis, and soil-transmitted helminthiases. The document outlines national control programs for these diseases and others such as leprosy and dengue. It highlights the high burden of NTDs in Nepal and their impact on vulnerable groups. Integrated control strategies and partnerships are in place to work toward eliminating priority NTDs by targeted years.

HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus and causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HIV weakens a person's immune system by destroying important immune cells called CD4 cells. AIDS is the final stage of HIV infection where the immune system is severely damaged, leaving a person vulnerable to opportunistic infections. HIV is transmitted through certain body fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Common ways of transmission include unprotected sex, contaminated needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but treatment with antiretroviral drugs can control the virus and prevent transmission.
HIV AND AIDS.
HIV AND AIDS is the most critical disease in the world.
Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).At the end of 2015, 17.0 million people were receiving ART worldwide; this represents 46% (43–50%) of the 36.7 million (34.0–39.8 million) people living with HIV.
HIV/AIDS remains one of the world's most significant public health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.There is no functional cure for HIV or AIDS, meaning that there is no procedure or medication which has been scientifically proven to reliably eliminate the virus from a person's body or reverse the damage to the immune system.

HIV originated from SIV in primates and was transferred to humans through zoonosis. In the 1980s, AIDS claimed 14 million lives. AIDS is caused by HIV which attacks immune cells, killing them and causing a disorder rather than a disease. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, blood exposure, or from mother to child during birth or breastfeeding. Prevention focuses on stopping HIV transmission through safe sex practices, clean syringes, and blood screening to avoid discrimination and stigma against those infected.

This document provides information about several sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including pediculosis (crabs), herpes, HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, and hepatitis. It describes the causes, symptoms, treatments, and methods of transmission for each disease. Key details include: pediculosis is caused by parasites that live in pubic hair; herpes is caused by viruses HSV-1 and HSV-2 and has no cure; HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact or blood and leads to AIDS if untreated; gonorrhea is a bacterial infection affecting warm moist areas that can lead to infertility if untreated; hepatitis has various causes and ranges in severity from self-limiting to potentially fatal liver damage.

The document discusses various international organizations involved in health and development. It describes the objectives and activities of the World Health Organization (WHO), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), International Labour Organization (ILO), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), International Red Cross, CARE International, World Bank, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the Colombo Plan.
AID
AIDS originated in Africa in the 20th century and is now considered a global pandemic. It is a disease of the human immune system caused by the HIV virus, which is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex. There are three main stages of HIV infection: acute infection, clinical latency, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Prevention is primarily through safe sex practices and needle exchange programs, as there is currently no cure or vaccine, though antiretroviral treatment can slow the disease's progression.
HIV/AIDS By Kristyn norton
The document summarizes statistics about HIV/AIDS such as 1.7 million annual deaths, average lifespan of 24 years, and lifetime treatment costs of $600,000. It discusses the financial impact of treatment and three main causes of transmission: unprotected sex, blood contact, and mother-to-child. The worst affected areas are in Sub-Saharan Africa. The history of HIV/AIDS is outlined from its estimated arrival in Africa in 1884 to its detection and spread in the 1980s. Potential solutions proposed include increased government funding to support prevention, treatment, and research toward a cure.
Malaria
Malaria is a disease caused by a parasitic protozoan called Plasmodium, which is transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. It is a major public health problem, with 300-500 million cases and 3-3.5 million deaths annually, primarily among children under 5 in rural Africa. In Canada, there are fewer than 100 cases per year, usually in travelers returning from endemic regions. The parasite infects and destroys red blood cells, causing flu-like symptoms on a cyclic pattern. Prevention methods include mosquito control, use of bed nets, and potentially a vaccine in the future. Treatment is available with drugs like chloroquine and quinine.

Top ten deadliest disease by tahsim akram
The document summarizes the top ten deadliest diseases in the modern world. It provides information on the infection and death rates for each disease. The top three deadliest diseases are lower respiratory infections, which cause over 4 million deaths per year, HIV/AIDS, which caused around 3 million deaths in 2004, and malaria, which causes between 1 to 5 million deaths annually. The document outlines key details about each disease such as transmission methods, symptoms, and populations most affected.
Basic concepts of tuberculosis
This document summarizes key information about tuberculosis (TB), including:
- TB remains a global health problem, infecting around one third of the world's population and killing millions each year. It is one of the top infectious disease killers worldwide.
- The largest number of TB cases occur in Asia, with India and China accounting for over half of all global cases. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of cases and deaths per capita.
- TB is closely linked to HIV/AIDS, with those coinfected being at much higher risk of falling ill from TB. Over 80% of TB cases among people living with HIV reside in Africa.
Epidemology and control of protozoan parasite
- Epidemiology is the study of patterns, causes and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It identifies risk factors and targets for preventive healthcare.
- Major parasitic diseases that are epidemic worldwide include malaria, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, and those caused by protozoan parasites like Plasmodium, Leishmania, Giardia, Entamoeba and Trypanosoma.
- Parasitic diseases disproportionately impact developing nations and vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women. Effective control requires understanding transmission patterns and applying preventive measures.
Pesentation on world aids day
World AIDS Day is observed annually on December 1st to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS. It began in 1988 and aims to honor those who have died from an HIV/AIDS-related illness and bring attention to those still living with the disease. Over 33 million people worldwide are currently living with HIV/AIDS, with sub-Saharan Africa disproportionately affected. While treatment with antiretroviral drugs has increased life expectancy, prevention remains a global priority to end the pandemic.
Chapter 6 failing states and other early signs of decline
Early signs of decline are emerging in many parts of the world. In sub-Saharan Africa, life expectancy has fallen by 10 years due to HIV/AIDS. Other problems include rising inequality, environmental degradation, and failing governments overwhelmed by complex problems. Pollution is also damaging health worldwide, with air pollution alone causing 3 million deaths each year.

3) Factors like poverty, low education levels, gender inequality, mobility, and poor healthcare systems encouraged the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in 22.4 million people living with HIV in 2008 and 1.4 million deaths that year.
MALARIA PRESENTATION .pptx
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. Globally, malaria incidence and mortality rates have declined in recent years due to increased funding for prevention and treatment efforts. However, malaria remains a major public health problem in many developing countries, especially among young children in sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control relies on a combination of vector control strategies, prompt diagnosis and treatment, and community education.
I Search Power Point Presentation
AIDS is a major problem in Africa, where over 60% of those infected with HIV/AIDS live. In 2005, 2.3 million people died from AIDS in Africa alone, with 1 person dying every 13 seconds. Treatment has increased over the past decade but remains unavailable or unaffordable for many Africans. Without treatment, AIDS is shortening life spans and leaving millions of African children orphaned. The disease threatens to decrease populations and has already killed many teachers in African schools.

Aids
Sub-Saharan Africa faces immense challenges from AIDS including providing healthcare and treatment to those infected, reducing new infections through prevention, and coping with the impact of over 20 million AIDS deaths on communities and development. An estimated 900 babies in developing countries are infected with HIV daily due to lack of services to prevent mother-to-child transmission. Three southern African countries have adult HIV prevalence rates over 20%, with Botswana at 23.9%, Lesotho at 23.2%, and Swaziland at 26.1%. AIDS has orphaned over 11 million African children due to parental deaths.
Aids
AIDS is the advanced stage of HIV infection where the immune system is weakened, making one susceptible to infections and conditions like cancer. More than 25 million people have died from AIDS in Africa, where over 2/3 of AIDS deaths occur. Africa is likely where HIV first transferred to humans. The AIDS epidemic has reduced life expectancy in Africa by 20 years and orphaned 12 million children. One cause of AIDS in Africa is lower status of women preventing negotiation of condom use or fidelity. There are organizations that help raise money for treatment and prevention campaigns, such as PEPFAR.
Statistical analysis on household factors influencing annual episodes of malaria
Malaria is responsible for about 66 per cent of all clinic visits in Nigeria. It accounts for 25% of under-5 mortality, 30% childhood mortality and 11% maternal mortality. At least 50% of the population will have at least one episode of malaria annually. Moreover, environment dictates the incidence and prevalence of diseases all over the world and if timely action is not taken, it may lead to diseases. Three (3) out of six (6) major towns in Ido local government area are considered and accumulated one hundred and ninety one (191) individuals as respondents using haphazard non probability sampling technique for selection. The obtained data through questionnaire was presented on frequency table and charts while inferential statistics were analysed using dummy variables in regression. It was revealed that majority of the respondents suffered from one or more incidences of malaria in a year, where female had the higher percentage of the incidence and there was high incidence of malaria among the adult ages 30years and above. The qualitative predictor variable in regression analysis revealed significant relationship between annual episode of malaria and number of members of household, toilet type, absent ceiling, building type, disposable site and source of domestic water. The ANOVA, F – test was significant for all predicted factors. Conclusively, in the view of the discovery, it was therefore recommended that people need awareness on densely populated area / household are more prone to experience more episodes of malaria incidence than sparsely populated one, encouragement on utilization of closed domestic water system instead of open system to avoid reservoir for mosquito, enlightenment on type toilet used and avoid absence ceiling to prevent being a breeding site for mosquitoes, government to stage more campaign against malaria especially for adult not for children under 5year alone and create a task force officer/ sanitary inspectors to checkmate sanitation of our environment to avoid unkempt toilet habit which serves as breeding site for mosquitoes.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.DECLARATION OF HELSINKI - History and principles

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
