Ecological Niche Modelling of Potential RVF Vector Mosquito Species and their...Nanyingi Mark
In Kenya, RVF outbreaks have occurred cyclically in 1996 to 2007. Characterizing RVF vector habitat requirements allows for the identification of areas at risk of viral amplification and transmission. Ecological niche models were developed using records of potential RVF Kenyan vector mosquito species to predict their habitat suitability range and to investigate possible geographical associations with RVF outbreak occurrence in Kenya in 2006 -2007. The contribution of different environmental variables to the niche models was also assessed. Suitable habitats for Culex pipiens, Culex univittatus, Culex quinquefasciatus and Culex zambaensis were widely distributed in the county stretching from the western to the coastal strip while ; Aedes quasiunivittatus, Aedes aegypti were concentrated in Eastern Kenya with occupations in Rift Valley, Central and the coastal areas. High precipitation variables showed the highest predictive power for aedes while length of dry months determined the Culex distribution. It would be important to investigate the contributions of ruminant host population and landscape variables. RVF outbreaks had a significantly higher probability to occur in habitats suitable for both Aedes and Culex species, providing circumstantial evidence that the potential distribution of these two species coincides geographically with the observed distribution of the disease.

The Socio-Economics and Burden Impact of Rift Valley Fever in Garissa, KenyaNanyingi Mark
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a viral, vector borne zoonosis that has significant threat to livestock health and production and public health in Africa. Recent outbreaks have led to high livestock mortalities and human morbidity and socio economic impacts in Garissa. To assess the level of knowledge of pastoralists to causation and transmission risk factors and describe their attitude and practices in response to RVF outbreaks and management in the context of climate change shocks. To estimate the livelihood losses and burden impacts in Garissa. A population based cross sectional household survey was conducted in March 2012 and March 2013 in four hotspots. A multistage purposive sampling was used to identify 250 participants who included pastoralists, veterinary and medical personnel and livestock traders. KAP evaluation was by questionnaires in depth key informant interviews and focus group discussions. Participatory rural appraisal tools were used to assess the economic significance of the RVF outbreaks, risk factors and management costs. 185 respondents (74%) had good knowledge of RVF (symptoms scored >50%) and risk factor analysis indicated > 150 (60%) understood the consumption of meat of dead or infected animal, milk, touching aborted foetuses caused disease. Estimated lost revenue due to closure of livestock markets and bans was over Ksh.3 billion. Intervention costs and burden of the outbreaks is discussed. There is good knowledge and attitude on RVF risk, transmission and control. It re-emergence is associated with negative impacts on livelihoods and economic endpoints in Garissa.

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.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:

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 leads (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

41. Valuing Ecosystem Services
If we convert forest, diseases emerge.
These diseases cost billions of dollars
annually.
Can we include these costs in decision
making to reduce deforestation?
44. Costs
• Converting land costs money
- clearing forest
- cultivating field
• Maintaining land productivity
- fertilizer
- irrigation
• Lost ecosystem benefits
- Abiotic and biotic services
- Naturally derived products
- Exposure to disease
