Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO
Dr Marta Lomazzi, Executive Manager, World Federation of Public Health Associations

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
INFECTION OF THE BRAIN -ENCEPHALITIS ( PPT)blessyjannu21
Neurological system includes brain and spinal cord. It plays an important role in functioning of our body. Encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain. Causes include viral infections, infections from insect bites or an autoimmune reaction that affects the brain. It can be life-threatening or cause long-term complications. Treatment varies, but most people require hospitalization so they can receive intensive treatment, including life support.
Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
2. What is it?
• Acute inflammation of the vermiform appendix
• Vermiform means resembling or having form of a worm
• Rare in infants and becomes increasingly common in childhood and
early adult life, reaching a peak incidence in the teens and early 20s.
3. When & How appedix
develops
• Development In the sixth week of human embryonic life
• Outpouchings from the caudal limb of the midgut.
• Adult positionOf the base the appendix on the posterior medial wall,
just below the ileocecal valve. Position of the base of the appendix is
constant.
• The tip of the appendix has variable
positions.

Lymphoid aggregates occur in the submucosal layer and may
extend into the muscularis mucosa

carbohydrates may be important.

6. How it occurs
proximal obstruction of the appendiceal lumen
produces a closed-loop obstruction, and continuing normal secretion by
the appendiceal mucosa
rapidly produces distension
Distension stimulates the nerve endings of visceral afferent stretch
fibers
producing vague, dull, diffuse pain in the mid-abdomen or lower
epigastrium.
Distension increases from continued mucosal secretion and from rapid
multiplication of the resident bacteria of the appendix
7. This causes reflex nausea and vomiting, and the visceral pain
increases.
As pressure in the organ increases, venous pressure is exceeded.
Capillaries and venules are occluded but arterial inflow continues,
resulting in engorgement and vascular congestion.
The inflammatory process involves the serosa of the appendix and
in turn the parietal peritoneum. This produces the characteristic
shift in pain to the right lower quadrant.
The mucosa of the appendix is susceptible to impairment of
blood supply; thus, its integrity is compromised early in the
process, which allows bacterial invasion.
8. How it presents
