Understanding zoonotic impacts: the added value from One Health approachesNaomi Marks
This document discusses the benefits of mass vaccination programs for animal diseases that can infect humans (zoonoses).
It first presents data showing that mass vaccinating 25 million livestock animals in Mongolia against brucellosis would provide over $30 million in total societal benefits, including public health benefits, private health benefits, reduced household income loss, and agricultural benefits.
It then uses a mathematical model to show that mass dog vaccination is less costly than human post-exposure prophylaxis for controlling rabies transmission between dogs and humans.
Finally, it references a study that found an approach combining dog and human vaccination for rabies control in N'Djaména to be more cost-effective than human
A presentation given by Dr Gerard Prinsen of Massey University and the Livestock Livelihoods and Health programme (www.livestocklivelihoodsandhealth.org) to the New Zealand Political Studies Association, 1 December 2015.
The Manhattan Principles were developed at a 2004 meeting that brought together health experts to discuss the spread of diseases between humans, domestic animals, and wildlife. The principles call for a holistic approach that recognizes the links between human, animal, and ecosystem health. They urge increased cooperation across disciplines and sectors, as well as reducing wildlife trade, integrating conservation in disease prevention, and investing in global health infrastructure and education.

The One Health approach aims to achieve optimal health outcomes for people, animals, and the environment through collaboration across multiple disciplines. It recognizes that human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected. The concept originated in the 19th century from physicians who studied links between human and animal diseases. Today, a One Health approach is particularly relevant for issues like food safety, zoonotic disease control, and antibiotic resistance, which require cross-sector solutions. No single group can prevent problems that arise at the human-animal-environment interface. Implementing One Health requires cooperation among professionals in public health, animal health, and related fields across local to global levels.
USDA APHIS Veterinary Vervice: One Health call to actionHarm Kiezebrink
Interest in the One Health approach is surfacing in both the public and private sector within the USA. Members of the US Congress have demonstrated their support of One Health principles by introducing legislation to promote, implement, and sustain veterinary services, and veterinary public health; to promote training in food systems security; to develop strategies to address antimicrobial resistance; and to develop other veterinary health initiatives.
The private sector understands that harnessing the combined expertise of medical and veterinary science can transform the ability to control and eradicate a range of pathogens that pose major threats to both human and animal health, and that undermine the viability of livestock agriculture and food production. As part of its vision for 2015, APHIS Veterinary Service is committed to embrace One Health strategy as part of the solution to address the changes and challenges of the APHIS Veterinary Service landscape.
Social dimensions of zoonoses in interdisciplinary researchNaomi Marks
This document summarizes Dr. Hayley MacGregor's research on the social dimensions of zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans) in emerging livestock systems. It discusses two key areas: 1) how cultural and social practices influence zoonotic risk, and 2) the relationship between humans and animals. For area 1, it describes how factors like intensification of production, supply chains, processing practices, markets and consumer demand can drive zoonotic risk. For area 2, it discusses how human-animal relations blur traditional categories, and how the health of humans and animals is interdependent.
Framework for assessing the economic costs and burdens of zoonotic diseaseILRI
Presented by Alexandra Shaw, Ian Scoones, Melissa Leach, Francis Wanyoike and Delia Grace at the EcoHealth 2014 conference, Montreal, Canada, 11-14 August 2014.
This document discusses key concepts in epidemiology including the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment. It defines these components and provides examples. Specifically, it explains that disease results from an interaction between an external agent, a susceptible host, and an environment that brings them together. Interventions aim to control the agent, protect host susceptibility, or modify the environment. Understanding transmission dynamics including reservoirs, modes of transmission, and portals of entry/exit informs public health measures.
This document discusses the ecological impact of white-nosed syndrome, a wildlife disease affecting bats. It describes how the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans has caused high mortality rates among bat populations in North America, with over 5.7 million bats dying. The fungus thrives in cold temperatures and infects hibernating bats, whose immune systems are weakened during hibernation. Conservation efforts aim to monitor disease spread and investigate antifungal treatments, while closing caves to limit human-assisted dispersal. However, challenges remain in understanding and controlling this geographically widespread disease due to limited research funding.
Philanthropists who seek to improve health often find themselves torn between efforts to identify cures for disease and projects that strive to improve the social conditions that lead to better health. As this remarkable book shows, over a hundred years, The Rockefeller Foundation’s efforts to balance these sometimes competing objectives have fundamentally shaped the fields of public health and medicine along the way.
We are losing the battle against malaria for several reasons. Human migration and movement is spreading the disease to new areas. Many natural habitats for mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite cannot be eliminated. The mosquitoes are developing resistance to common insecticides and bed nets. Drug resistance in the malaria parasite means available treatments are becoming less effective. Conflict and poverty in many afflicted regions make it harder to control the spread of malaria.
This document summarizes a study assessing the impact of rabies vaccination campaigns on community knowledge and prevention of rabies in Laikipia, Kenya. The study found that while 63% of respondents had vaccinated their dogs against rabies, the number of years communities participated in vaccination campaigns did not significantly influence rabies knowledge or dog vaccination rates. Word of mouth was the main source of rabies information for most respondents, who generally had inadequate knowledge about rabies transmission and treatment. The results suggest that while vaccination efforts have increased dog vaccination, alternative outreach methods may be needed to improve rabies knowledge in the community.
The document discusses Bill Gates, the WHO, and malaria. It notes that Bill Gates formed the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to enhance healthcare and reduce poverty, donating over $42 billion. The WHO aims to achieve the highest level of health globally and coordinates health efforts in the UN. Malaria has affected humans for centuries and remains a global health issue, though the Gates Foundation prioritizes malaria elimination and has donated $2 billion towards combating it. The WHO also works on malaria control and tracking cases.
This document discusses primary health care (PHC), including its definition, principles, and the role of nurses. It provides the following key points:
1. PHC is defined as universally accessible and affordable essential health care that involves community participation. Its goals include disease prevention, health promotion, and treatment of common health issues.
2. The principles of PHC are equitable distribution of care, community participation, coordination between health and other sectors, and use of appropriate technologies.
3. Nurses play an important role in PHC by directly providing care, educating communities, planning and managing care, and supervising other health workers. Their training was revised to better prepare them for these PHC roles.
This document discusses primary health care and the role of nurses in primary health care. It defines primary health care as health care that is accessible, affordable and participatory. It outlines the key elements of primary health care including health education, nutrition, sanitation, maternal/child care, immunization, disease prevention/control and essential treatment. The principles of primary health care are described as equitable distribution, community participation, intersectoral coordination, appropriate technology and prevention. The document then discusses the roles and functions of nurses in primary health care, including direct care provider, health educator, care planner/manager, and guide/supervisor.
This document summarizes an approach to studying livestock food systems in order to understand challenges like disease emergence and food safety. The approach examines the food system holistically using epidemiology, ecology, socio-economics, microbiology, nutrition, and value chain analysis. It aims to understand how pathogens are introduced and spread in urban environments and how this impacts human health. Researchers analyze food consumption, demographics, nutrition, and value chains to identify intervention opportunities that can improve health, nutrition, and welfare throughout the system. The integrated systems approach places food at the center and aims to achieve health for all by understanding challenges and finding solutions.

Safeguarding human health in the Anthropocene epoch: report of The Rockefelle...Carol Daemon
The document is a report from The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on planetary health that addresses the threats that environmental changes pose to human health. The summary identifies three main challenges: 1) conceptual failures to prioritize long-term health and sustainability over short-term economic gains, 2) knowledge failures around transdisciplinary research on social and environmental health drivers, and 3) implementation failures in governmental responses to environmental health threats. The report calls for action across multiple sectors to promote policies that improve health and environmental sustainability, especially for vulnerable populations. Key recommendations include accounting for natural capital, balancing economic growth with sustainability, transforming energy and agricultural systems, and expanding transdisciplinary research on health and environmental linkages.
Governance for planetary health and sustainable developmentCarol Daemon
The document discusses the report from The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on Planetary Health, which highlights the link between human health and environmental change. It argues this report comes at an important time as the UN is adopting new development goals. Implementing the report's recommendations requires strengthening resilience and governance to address challenges from economic, health, political or social shocks. Finally, it asserts sustainable development requires holistic approaches that advance social, economic and environmental goals together through resilient systems and improved governance.
Ecohealth perspectives: From Ecohealth theory to practice (case studies)ILRI
This document summarizes an Ecohealth workshop presentation on moving from Ecohealth theory to practice through case studies. It begins with an outline of the presentation topics, including a history of Ecohealth and One Health, key Ecohealth principles, and experiences from case studies on brucellosis and salmonellosis. It then discusses the Ecohealth framework developed for a case study on brucellosis and toxoplasmosis in Yunnan, China, which mapped stakeholders and developed qualitative and quantitative research components. It highlights some challenges faced in the study including gaining team consensus on research topics, lack of experience with Ecohealth approaches, perceptions of qualitative research, and fully synthesizing mixed methods results. The presentation evaluates the case

The document discusses Tay-Sachs disease screening and prevention in the Jewish community. It provides background on Tay-Sachs, describing it as a rare genetic disorder that causes excess amounts of fatty substances to build up in brain and nerve cells, leading to brain damage and early death. It recommends that public health practitioners employ a systematic, modernized approach using technology to track prevalence and tailor education efforts. This would help reduce Tay-Sachs births through increased screening and genetic counseling in the at-risk Jewish population.
This document provides an introduction and overview of the epidemiology course PH250B Epidemiologic Methods II. It begins with definitions of epidemiology and key epidemiological terms. Epidemiology is defined as the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states and events in populations. Examples of distributions of health, such as rates of breast cancer and obesity, are shown. Determinants of health according to the WHO and Healthy People 2010 initiative are discussed.
The document then discusses how epidemiological questions can address causes of cases or causes of incidence. It provides examples showing how the same exposure may provide different answers depending on the question asked. Health paradigms are discussed as shaping epidemiology and vice versa.
China 2016: Overview of public opinion about science with a special focus on ...John C. Besley
This document summarizes key findings from the 2016 Science and Engineering Indicators report on U.S. and global public opinion regarding science and technology issues. It finds that Americans have a moderate level of interest in science and a basic level of factual knowledge. Overall attitudes toward science are positive, though views on specific issues like genetic engineering and nuclear energy are more mixed and have declined slightly. The document analyzes factors influencing public opinions on various technologies, finding that demographics play a minor role while perceptions of scientific processes and trust in scientists have a stronger influence on attitudes.
While science is a natural home for project-based learning techniques, blending in the global competencies and other subjects can sometimes be more challenging. This session will focus on approaches to incorporating global competencies in science in both elementary and secondary settings.

Matching ecohealth and One Health attributes for emerging infectious diseases...ILRI
Multi-sectoral, socio-economic, collaborative systems-based (MSC) research approaches like Ecohealth and One Health have become popular for addressing complex health problems at human, animal, and environmental interfaces. This study examined how Ecohealth and One Health are described in policy documents and characterized their approaches. Keywords from the descriptions were analyzed using word clouds. Ecohealth emphasized cooperation across stakeholders, participatory and transdisciplinary work, and social and environmental influences on health. One Health focused on collaboration between health professionals for integrated disease prevention and surveillance. Country priorities for emerging infectious diseases in Asia aligned more with One Health's approach.
This document compares 27 years of research on AIDS and climate change. It finds that both fields have struggled to understand complex phenomena and social vulnerabilities. Early research in AIDS focused on medical and technical responses, but later shifted to social and economic factors. Climate change research also began with a physical sciences focus and integrated social sciences over time. Both fields have grappled with "globalized" discourses that mask uneven impacts, and tendencies toward technical fixes. The document argues AIDS research could learn from climate change's longer term, forward-looking approaches and sophisticated social vulnerability concepts.

Towards a more comprehensive measure of eudaimonia_Carol Ryff.pdfStatsCommunications
This document summarizes Carol Ryff's presentation on bringing measures of eudaimonia or human flourishing to OECD measures of subjective well-being. Ryff discusses defining eudaimonia based on Aristotle and modern views, developing scales to measure six dimensions of eudaimonia, and scientific findings linking higher eudaimonia to better health outcomes. Ryff also notes growing inequality in measures of well-being and calls for credible measurement of select eudaimonic factors like purpose in life and personal growth to be included in large-scale studies like those by OECD to better inform public policy. There is potential for synergies between longitudinal cohort studies providing evidence and OECD's focus on policy issues.

Culture, translation, and genre: The emergence of health literacy interventionsPhilip Girvan
This document outlines a presentation on health literacy interventions and genres. It discusses two emerging models of health literacy: one that views it as a clinical risk and one that sees it as a personal asset. Health literacy genres like Facebook pages can empower patients through participatory health communications. The presentation analyzes genres from several health literacy interventions and finds social media genres align with seeing health literacy as a personal asset by engaging users. Culture is inscribed in genres and health literacy transcends individuals and clinical encounters.

These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
14. Explain the concepts of current of injury, J point, and their significance

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
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.
