Risk analysis practices are pragmatic and they are used widely but they comprise different methods and are just a method of assessing risk without giving a complete picture of the problem.
At least, it is increasing relaised that it is not irrelevant ti talk of of acts of God but risks are created by mans activities and helped by natural variability and inherent uncertainty.
The philosophy of risk is infested by contentions/conflicts and different philosophies on risk are excluding one another instead of building on one another. Evolutionary ideas can explain risk throughout human history.

ROJoson PEP Talk: DOES EVERYONE HAVE CANCER CELLS IN THEIR BODY?Reynaldo Joson
The document discusses whether everyone has cancer cells in their body. It explains that while our bodies are constantly producing new cells, not all of these cells are destined to become cancerous. A typical healthy cell goes through cycles of growth, division and death, while a cancer cell does not follow this normal cycle and keeps reproducing abnormally. Not everyone inherently has cancer cells in their body from the beginning - it is possible for initially normal cells to eventually develop into cancer cells due to certain risk factors.
ROJoson PEP Talk: Can one skip CHEMOTHERAPY in BREAST CANCER TREATMENT?Reynaldo Joson
Chemotherapy is a systemic cancer treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy fast-growing cancer cells. It works by keeping cancer cells from growing and dividing. Chemotherapy can be given alone or with other treatments depending on the cancer type and stage. Factors like a person's age, health, and the cancer details help determine the chemotherapy plan and drugs. Chemotherapy aims to cure cancer, shrink tumors before other treatments, destroy remaining cancer cells after treatment, or slow cancer progression and relieve symptoms.

This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.
Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

EXERCISE
Hazards, Vulnerabilities, Capacities and Risks
Instructions:
•Observe closely the procedure that your facilitator
will demonstrate and be ready to answer the
following questions such as “What glass will be
affected the most if I will shake the table?”
•Also, observe events or changes that are going on
as the procedure is being conducted.
60. Topic 2: Risk Management Framework
EXERCISE – Simulating Earthquake!
Hazards, Vulnerabilities, Capacities and Risks
Procedure 1: Very slight shaking of the table
Possible effect:
•No effect to the table with glasses
Processing:
•Hazard should interact with a community to have effects
•Location of a community is an example of vulnerability
(susceptibility)
61. Topic 2: Risk Management Framework
EXERCISE – Simulating Earthquake!
Hazards, Vulnerabilities, Capacities and Risks
Procedure 2: Minor shaking of table (Theme: Hazard analysis)
Possible effect:
•Glasses made of light material might tumble
•Glasses made of heavier and stronger material will shake
but may not tumble
Processing:
•Earthquake is an example of hazard
•Types of glasses as examples of vulnerabilities
62. Topic 2: Risk Management Framework
EXERCISE – Simulating Earthquake!
Hazards, Vulnerabilities, Capacities and Risks
Hazard Analysis:
•Analyzing exposure
•Cannot define vulnerability unless you have identified the
hazards
•You need exposure before risks become relevant
•Vulnerability without hazard
•Cannot define outcome without defining vulnerability
63. Topic 2: Risk Management Framework
EXERCISE – Simulating Earthquake!
Hazards, Vulnerabilities, Capacities and Risks
Procedure 3 and 4: Moderate and strong shaking of table
(Theme: Hazard reduction, capacity respond, recovery)
Possible effect:
•Even with reinforcement or good quality glasses, they may
all tumble or fall
•Even with the best effort, we cannot respond to all affected
( e.g. we cannot catch all the glasses when they fall)
65. Topic 2: Risk Management Framework
EXERCISE – Simulating Earthquake!
