Why do poor adults rate their oral health
Australia has a high standard of oral health overall, but there are socioeconomic inequalities. Poorer people have higher rates of complete tooth loss. In the 1990s, the oral health of migrants, rural dwellers, and Indigenous Australians received attention. A study used data from 1999 surveys to examine the psychosocial factors associated with both household income and self-rated oral health. It found that poorer adults had poorer oral health and felt less control over their lives with more stress. Health is sensitive to social conditions, so interventions should address socioeconomic position.

Caregivers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices influence clinical outcomes for disabled children under five. The study assessed 200 caregivers in Bawku, Ghana. It found that while caregivers were aware their children were sick, many did not view the illness as severe and delayed seeking treatment. Economic and socio-cultural factors like cost of care, education levels, and cultural beliefs influenced treatment-seeking. The study recommends improving healthcare access to ensure prompt treatment of childhood illnesses.

Special care treatment in dentistry
1) Transitioning patients with special health care needs from pediatric to adult oral healthcare can be challenging. The goal is to help patients reach their maximum potential through developmentally appropriate healthcare services that continue from adolescence to adulthood.
2) Most respondents said the predominant transition age was between 18-20 years for patients with SHCNs. The major barrier to transition was a lack of availability of general dentists and specialists trained to treat patients with SHCNs.
3) Educational programs for dentists need to include strategies and protocols for effectively transitioning adolescent patients with SHCNs to appropriate adult oral healthcare.

This document discusses a family-centered approach to comprehensive HIV/AIDS care and support. It argues that HIV is a family disease, so targeting entire families for prevention, care, treatment and support services is more effective than focusing on individual members. A family-centered approach reduces missed opportunities for early care, ensures appropriate care for all family members, reduces infection risks, and encourages treatment adherence through family support. However, implementing this approach faces challenges like stigma, unknown HIV statuses, and a lack of coordinated community programming.JDRF Partners with CDN
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) partnered with the College Diabetes Network (CDN) to provide incoming college students with type 1 diabetes resources to help them be successful and healthy. Through the Off to College program, students and parents receive free printed materials and information about managing diabetes in college. The program aims to help the over 70% of students who say they struggle with diabetes care while attending college.
Millions of children losing out on preventive care
A CDC report found that millions of children and teenagers are not receiving recommended preventive health services. Data collected before the ACA showed low rates of immunizations, dental care, developmental screenings, and counseling for issues like tobacco use and reproductive health. Only 21.1% of young children received comprehensive developmental screening, and many children lacked basic services like vision and hearing tests. The report indicates certain groups face even lower access, and calls for increased preventive care to promote long-term health.

Australia has higher life expectancy, lower mortality rates, and lower burden of disease compared to developing countries. Life expectancy in Australia is 79 years for males and 84 years for females, while in Africa it is only 50 years for males and 52 years for females. Mortality rates for children under 5 years old (under-5 mortality rate) and infants (infant mortality rate) are much lower in Australia at 6 and 5 per 1,000 live births respectively, compared to over 250 for under-5 mortality in Sierra Leone. Leading causes of death in developing countries include communicable diseases, malaria, and HIV/AIDS, while non-communicable diseases dominate in Australia. Maternal mortality is also much higher in developing countries
H2OLA Abstract Poster-CatalanMayra
The document discusses factors affecting dental hygiene among Latino children. It finds that low socioeconomic status is associated with poor dental hygiene, as Latino children experience higher rates of dental problems than non-Latino children. Barriers like low income, lack of insurance, low education, and poor nutrition impact dental hygiene. However, increasing dental education and access to care can help reduce disparities. Improving education on proper hygiene can help lower dental problems, even for families who cannot regularly visit dentists due to financial hardship.

Long term care facility dental care
This document outlines the history and discussions around improving access to oral healthcare for vulnerable long-term care residents in Canada from 2008 to 2010. It describes pilot projects in Ontario and Newfoundland that established programs for dental exams, cleanings and other basic services for seniors. The Canadian Dental Association advocated for a multidisciplinary approach and establishing standards of care for oral health in long-term care facilities. A plan presented in Saskatchewan in 2010 proposed making oral healthcare a responsibility shared between facilities, health regions, dental colleges and government to better serve residence-bound seniors.
Oral care in long term care oral care for all
This document discusses oral care for residents in long-term care facilities. It identifies two primary groups: those diagnosed with oropharyngeal dysphagia, and those who were diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia but not initially referred for a swallowing assessment. For the first group, high medical complexity and medications can increase dysphagia risk. The second group's aspiration was likely caused by saliva, though dysphagia alone is not a major risk factor for aspiration pneumonia without other risks. Proper oral care and education of nursing staff and care aides on oral care and its impact on respiratory health is important.

David Ocon - Oral Health and Perception Paper
This document discusses improving global oral health through outreach clinics, using a case study of a clinic in Chiquilistagua, Nicaragua. It finds that 64% of children under 12 had tooth decay. The clinic provided dental treatment to over 800 people and educated children on oral hygiene. To improve oral health globally, it recommends focusing on prevention, training local workers, and leaving sustainable and low-cost supplies. It also advocates for increasing access to fluoridated water and toothpaste to significantly reduce tooth decay rates in a cost-effective way. Improving oral health literacy in communities through outreach clinics can help change public perceptions and policies around oral healthcare.

The goal is to improve oral health and make parents comfortable with school-based sealant application.
Groups Experiencing Inequities
The key priority issues for improving Australia's health are reducing health inequities faced by certain groups. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged people, rural/remote residents, and immigrants experience unfair health differences. They are more likely to die younger, have lower life expectancy and quality of life, higher rates of disease, and less access to healthcare and health information. Addressing the social and economic determinants of health through government programs, community support, and empowering individuals is needed to improve health equity across all Australians.

It notes that maintaining good oral hygiene becomes more difficult with age due to factors like declining vision, dexterity, and the effects of medications. Common oral diseases in older adults include tooth loss, gingivitis, dry mouth, and oral cancers. Barriers to good mouth care include a lack of training and resistance from those with dementia. Poor oral health can lead to issues like malnutrition, infection, pain, and low self-esteem. Nurses play an important role in assessing oral health problems and ensuring proper mouth care is provided.
Oral Health
The health of the mouth and surrounding
craniofacial (skull and face) structures is central to a person’s overall
health and well-being. Oral
and craniofacial diseases and conditions include:
-- Dental caries (tooth decay)
-- Periodontal (gum) diseases
-- Cleft lip and palate
-- Oral and facial pain
-- Oral and pharyngeal (mouth and throat)
cancers
The significant improvement in the oral health of Americans over the past 50 years is a public health success story. Most of the gains are a result of effective prevention and treatment efforts. One major success is community water fluoridation, which now benefits about 7 out of 10 Americans who get water through public water systems.
However, some Americans do not have access to preventive programs. People who have the least access to preventive services and dental treatment have greater rates of oral diseases. A person’s ability to access oral health care is associated with factors such as education level, income, race, and ethnicity.
Objectives in this topic area address a number of areas for public health improvement, including the need to:
-- Increase awareness of the importance of oral health to overall health and well-being.
-- Increase acceptance and adoption of effective preventive interventions.
-- Reduce disparities in access to effective preventive and dental treatment services.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
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.

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.
