The document provides an overview of an Electronic Vaccine Data System (EVDS) that has been developed to collect and provide patient, health establishment, vaccine, and safety information for monitoring vaccine uptake, coverage, and effectiveness studies. The EVDS will leverage existing systems and must support the collection of demographic information, doses received, health establishment, vaccine details, and adverse event reporting. It will allow for preregistration of health care workers and other recipients, with data prepopulated from existing databases. Vaccinators must be able to see dose details. The system will also link to laboratories to monitor effectiveness and include adverse event monitoring and reminder functions. Training objectives are listed to instruct vaccinators and administrators on using the system.

Cholesterol screenings are available once per year at no additional cost for all beneficiaries aged 20 years and older as part of preventative benefits. Screenings can be accessed through onsite events scheduled by managers or via tariff codes at clinics and pharmacies.
Statins are the primary medication used to lower cholesterol and work by blocking cholesterol production in the liver. Other medications include bile acid sequestrants which bind bile acids in the digestive system, forcing the liver to use cholesterol to make more bile acids, and cholesterol absorption inhibitors which limit the absorption of dietary cholesterol. For people who cannot tolerate statins or who have very high cholesterol levels, newer injectable PCSK9 inhibitors can help lower LDL cholesterol. Additional medications may be prescribed for high triglycerides including fibrates to reduce triglyceride production and niacin, though it has risks. Omega-3 fatty acid supplements can also help lower triglycerides when prescribed by a doctor.
Normal cholesterol levels are: total cholesterol less than 5 mmol/L, LDL cholesterol less than 3 mmol/L, HDL cholesterol more than 1.2 mmol/L for women or 1.0 mmol/L for men, and fasting triglyceride levels less than 1.7 mmol/L. The document provides guidelines for normal cholesterol levels, including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides.
People can reduce their cholesterol and maintain a healthy level through lifestyle changes like eating a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly for 30 minutes most days, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol, losing weight and managing stress. Making these lifestyle changes will decrease the risk of heart disease and heart attack.
A blood test called a lipid panel checks four measures of cholesterol and fats: total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. For the most accurate results, patients should fast for 8 to 12 hours before the blood sample is taken, drinking only water during that time. The lipid panel screening provides key health information about cholesterol and fat levels in the blood.
High cholesterol can lead to a build-up of plaque in the arteries called atherosclerosis, which narrows and hardens arteries. This plaque can reduce blood flow and lead to complications like chest pain if the coronary arteries are affected, a heart attack if blood flow to the heart is completely blocked, or a stroke if a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain.
Inactivity, obesity, and an unhealthy diet can cause high cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol as these are factors within an individual's control. Genetic makeup may contribute to high cholesterol beyond one's control by making cells less efficient at removing LDL cholesterol or causing the liver to overproduce cholesterol.
Eating saturated and trans fats found in animal products and processed foods, as well as foods high in cholesterol like red meat and full-fat dairy, can raise cholesterol levels. Lack of exercise and obesity increase risk of high cholesterol, while exercise boosts good cholesterol and improves cholesterol particles. Smoking damages blood vessels and may lower good cholesterol, putting one at risk. Age, diabetes, and high blood sugar also increase cholesterol risks as the body changes over time.

Genetic makeup may contribute to high cholesterol beyond one's control by making cells less efficient at removing LDL cholesterol or causing the liver to overproduce cholesterol.
Cholesterol is essential for the body's functions but too much can increase heart disease risk. There are two types - LDL or "bad" cholesterol which raises risk when too high, and HDL or "good" cholesterol which helps remove LDL. High cholesterol can be inherited but is often caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices like diet and exercise habits, making it preventable and treatable through diet, exercise, and sometimes medication.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that usually affects the lungs. It is caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The World Health Organization provides resources on TB prevention, testing, treatment and care that focus on a patient-centered approach integrating HIV and TB services.
Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of TB caused by bacteria that do not respond to the two most powerful first-line anti-TB drugs. It develops when TB medicines are used inappropriately or treatment is stopped prematurely. MDR-TB can be treated with second-line drugs over two years, but these are more expensive and toxic. Some cases become extensively drug-resistant TB which leaves few treatment options. All African countries except Seychelles have reported cases of MDR-TB, and 13 have reported extensively drug-resistant TB, but the diagnosis and treatment gap remains large.
34% of people living with HIV in the African Region were infected with TB in 2016. HIV greatly increases the risk of developing active TB disease, and the two diseases form a lethal combination that accelerates the other's progression. In 2016, 320,000 people in Africa died from HIV-associated TB. WHO recommends a 12 part approach including prevention and treatment actions to reduce deaths from the deadly combination of HIV and TB.
The document discusses two types of tests that can detect tuberculosis (TB) infection: the Mantoux tuberculin skin test and the TB blood test. The Mantoux test involves injecting tuberculin fluid into the arm and checking for a reaction 2-3 days later. The TB blood test measures the immune system's response to the TB germs.
1. The document discusses treating exposure and infection from tuberculosis (TB). If exposed to someone with latent TB infection, testing is not needed as the person cannot spread the infection. However, testing is recommended if exposed to someone with active TB disease or symptoms of TB.
2. A positive TB infection test only indicates exposure to the bacteria, not active TB disease, which requires further tests like a chest x-ray and sputum sample. Treatment for latent TB infection may be recommended for those at higher risk of developing active TB disease, such as people with HIV or recent exposure.
3. Active TB disease is treated with multiple drugs over 6-12 months, and it is important to take the full course as prescribed
Tuberculosis is spread through the air from one person to another. When someone with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings, they expel infectious respiratory fluids into the air. If another person inhales these fluids, they may become infected with the TB bacteria.
TB germs are spread through the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, speaks, or sings. These germs can remain in the air for several hours and be breathed in, causing a latent TB infection. People with latent TB have TB germs in their body but are not sick, while those with active TB disease are sick from multiplying germs destroying tissue and usually have symptoms. Treatment is prescribed to those with latent TB to prevent future disease and those with active TB disease to cure the illness and stop spread.

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
