Advocates for Ohio's Future hosted a webinar on the Mid-Biennium Review and Senate Bill 216. The webinar featured speakers from the Ohio Job and Family Services Directors’ Association, The Ohio Council of Behavioral Health & Family Service Providers, and the Center for Community Solutions. The speakers discussed provisions around workforce development, county JFS consolidation, behavioral health funding, addiction treatment funding cuts, early childhood education quality reforms, and data sharing. Advocates for Ohio's Future recommended support for these issues and ways for participants to get more involved in advocacy.
The discussion focused on how supporters in Ohio can communicate with conference committee members to strengthen families and communities in the final process of Ohio's 2014-15 budget.
Advocates focused on early learning, long term care, developmental disabilities, and food assistance. Speakers also talked about a possible pathway to expand healthcare coverage to Ohioans through two new Medicaid reform bills in the House and the Senate.
We have one more chance to influence budget policies in the House of Representatives before it moves to the Senate.
Join us Friday morning for updates and an opportunity to advocate.
The state budget bill includes funding and policy decisions that impact all areas of health and human services, including health care and behavioral health. Big changes are proposed for programs that deliver health care to Ohioans.
Join us for a webinar about opportunities and challenges in the state budget with a highlight on behavioral health care and Medicaid.
Speakers include:

We know that one of the biggest factors that move Ohioans up and out of poverty is a job, but a job doesn’t always mean a living. Ohio’s public policies have the potential to create good jobs, increase opportunity for all Ohioans, and make Ohio’s economy stronger.
Speakers discussed how state policy decisions and budget proposals can potentially influence Ohio’s employment and direct care workforce. They covered programs in place to support working Ohioans – including person-centered work programs, the direct care workforce, and work supports – and how you can advocate for working Ohioans in the Senate.
Speakers included:
* Joel Potts, Executive Director, Ohio Job and Family Services Directors’ Association
* Beth Kowalczyk, Chief Policy Officer, Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging

This “mid-biennium” budget review is sure to mean policy changes that affect health, human services, and early care & education in Ohio.
Over the last several months AOF and our partners have been focusing on helping Ohioans be safe in their homes, afford the basics and find good jobs that stabilize families in the state budget. Now, the budget has moved into the last step of the process -- Conference Committee. Speakers explain what's happened with health and human services programs over the course of the budget process.
Speakers include:
* Bill Sundermeyer, State Director, Advocates for Ohio's Future
* Col Owens, Senior Attorney, Legal Aid Society of Southwest Ohio

The pending Healthy Ohio 1115 Medicaid waiver would require nearly all non-disabled adults on Ohio Medicaid to pay premiums. If approved by the federal government, the waiver would result in a greater number of uninsured Ohioans as well as increased Medicaid administrative costs and complexity.
Speakers include:
* Tara Britton, Public Policy Fellow, The Center for Community Solutions
* Nita Carter, Project Director, UHCAN Ohio
State leaders update Ohioans on the status of Medicaid expansion in the budget. They share talking points that are working, identify key lawmakers to contact, and discuss ongoing advocacy efforts and the next steps for action.
Ohio's Medicaid program made health care available to more people than ever before in 2014, but there's more work to be done.
The slides include an update on enrollment and health care access in Ohio, what's next for Ohio's Medicaid program, why personal stories are critical in our efforts to support health care access, and how you can get involved to keep Ohio’s families and communities healthy in the coming months.
Big changes are coming for Ohioans who are 60+ and Ohioans with disabilities. The Ohio Department of Medicaid has announced changes to streamline the Medicaid program by eliminating spend-down after August 2016. The changes will bring a greater number of people into Medicaid but will also result in some people losing their benefits. The transition is complex, continues to evolve, and holds severe repercussions for many Ohioans’ health care coverage.

The stories will be used in our advocacy and education work with lawmakers, the media and the public to highlight the impact of human needs programs.
Transportation is vital for people to get to work, grocery stores, medical appointments, child care, school, and participate in the economy. With transportation at the heart of many barriers Ohioans face in their daily lives, Ohio needs a 21st century transportation system made up not only of roads and highways but also a network of transportation options, including public transit, passenger and freight rail, streetcars, hybrid buses, electric vehicles, and walk-able, bike-able streets.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
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!

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.

MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
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

Mid-Biennium Review AOF presentation
1. Advocates for Ohio’s Future
Political and Field Call
Featuring:
Joel Potts, Executive Director of
Ohio Job and Family Services Directors’ Association (OJFSDA)
Teresa Lampl, Associate Director of
The Ohio Council of Behavioral Health & Family Service Providers
Katie Kelly, Director of the groundWork Campaign and
Public Policy Fellow with the Center for Community Solutions
2. Mid-Biennium Review
• The Kasich Administration had a
News Conference on the MBR just
over 2 weeks ago: March 14.
• HB 487 (The Mid-Biennium Review)
Language introduced on Friday, Mar
16.
• Hearings began the week of Mar 19
3. Mid-Biennium Review
• This webinar will focus on fiscal and
policy changes in two separate bills:
• House Bill 487 – The Mid-Biennium
Review
• Senate Bill 216 – Ohio’s 21st
Century Education and Worforce
Plan

5. Workforce Development
• Governor Kasich top priorities for 2012:
• Job training
• Private sector job growth
• To that end, the MBR proposes to codify a
recent executive order creating the Office
of Workforce Transformation and the
Governor’s Executive Workforce Board.
6. Workforce Development
The goal:
• Streamline and coordinate the State’s 77
work and training programs, which are
currently spread between 13 government
entities, into just two:
• One for employers seeking workers
• One for individuals to improve their
employment opportunities.
7. County JFS cost
savings consolidation
• Since 2006, county job and family service agencies
have experienced decreased funding of over 40% while
serving record caseloads, with most programs
experiencing growth in excess of 50%
• To meet the need in the community with the limited
resources, county agencies have embarked on
numerous modernization strategies to maximize
resources and improve service delivery
• The most aggressive consolidation project currently
underway is a pilot project in Hocking, Ross and Vinton
Counties to consolidate agencies and share
administrative functions while maintaining direct
services in each of the local areas
8. County JFS cost
savings consolidation
• The MBR removes the designation of the three
county program as a “pilot” currently in statute
and makes the consolidation of agencies an
option statewide for local governments to
consider
• By allowing JFS agencies the option to pursue
shared services across county lines, local agencies
will be empowered to pursue additional
strategies to share resources and identify greater
efficiencies, better utilize existing expertise in
the system and ensure that critical services
continue to be available at the local level.
9. Simplified Eligibility
Determination
• Building on last year’s budget (HB 153) initiative to
simplify healthcare eligibility policy, the MBR proposes
to further streamline and simplify eligibility for all
public assistance programs
• County agencies currently administer dozens of
programs with multiple eligibility criteria being
applied to each
• The MBR would provide a mechanism to streamline
and standardize eligibility criteria for multiple
programs, greatly reducing bureaucratic processes
which will save time, cut costs, speed up eligibility
determination, reduce errors and avoid potential
federal penalties

addiction treatment
• Lost lives – 1 Ohioan dies every 6 hours from
accidental drug overdose
• Employers unable to find workers due to
high failure of drug screens
• Sentencing reform efforts will be ineffective
without access to addiction treatment
