This document outlines a 2012 Plan of Action for hospitals in Sarawak to work towards achieving MDG 5, which aims to reduce maternal mortality. It provides statistics on maternal mortality rates in Sarawak and identifies key areas for improvement, such as ensuring adequate resources and staff training, improving emergency response and referral processes, enhancing antenatal and postnatal care, and promoting family planning services. The plan calls for various targets and activities to be implemented by hospital directors and obstetrics departments across Sarawak to help reduce preventable maternal deaths by 2015.

Nella collaborazione tra Progetto Familia onlus e il Segretariato Cattolico di Adigrat e si prevede la realizzazione del pozzo di Omotsige, nella Woreda di Gulomekada, nella zona est della regione del Tigray.
L’obiettivo specifico consiste nella realizzazione presso una scuola di un pozzo trivellato, completo di pompa meccanica e recinzione protettiva, la cui profondità sarà di circa 60 metri.
Il numero complessivo dei beneficiari sarà di c.a. 355 persone senza contare il gran numero di abitanti nei villaggi attigui alla zona prevista per il diretto intervento, che in ogni caso potranno utilizzare l’acqua di questo pozzo.
Una volta terminati i lavori di scavo e sistemazione del pozzo, verrà organizzato il relativo comitato Water & Sanitation del villaggio per la gestione e la manutenzione dello stesso, in collaborazione con le autorità locali competenti. In particolare, verrà nominato un guardiano del pozzo incaricato di monitorarne il funzionamento e di segnalare eventuali guasti. In questo modo verrà garantita la piena efficienza dell’impianto.
Il pozzo sarà inaugurato nell’Ottobre del 2017

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
