A non-communicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is not caused by infectious agents (non-infectious or non-transmissible). NCDs can refer to chronic diseases which last for long periods of time and progress slowly. Sometimes, NCDs result in rapid deaths such as seen in certain diseases such as autoimmune diseases, heart diseases, stroke, cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and others. While sometimes referred to as synonymous with "chronic diseases", NCDs are distinguished only by their non-infectious cause, not necessarily by their duration, though some chronic diseases of long duration may be caused by infections. Chronic diseases require chronic care management, as do all diseases that are slow to develop and of long duration.
NCDs are the leading cause of death globally. In 2012, they caused 68% of all deaths (38 million) up from 60% in 2000. About half were under age 70 and half were women.Risk factors such as a person's background, lifestyle and environment increase the likelihood of certain NCDs. Every year, at least 5 million people die because of tobacco use and about 2.8 million die from being overweight. High cholesterol accounts for roughly 2.6 million deaths and 7.5 million die because of high blood pressure.

Effective Communications Strategies:
Engaging the Media, Policymakers,
and the Public
Too often, strategic communication is too lit-
tle, or comes too late, when involved with a
child fatality or serious injury. This article
explores the challenges arising from negative
publicity around child safety issues and the
opportunities for communications strategies
that employ a proactive public health
approach to engaging media, policymakers,
and the public. The authors provide a case
study and review methods by which child
welfare agencies across the nation are build-
ing public engagement and support for
improved outcomes in child safety while pro-
tecting legitimate confidentiality require-
ments. Finally, the piece articulates the rationale for agency
investments in the resources necessary to develop and imple-
ment an effective communications plan.

Child safety is a public health issue too often in search of a pub-lic voice. At the same time, child deaths and serious injuries of
those connected to a child welfare system tend to reach public atten-
tion only during a crisis.
The public’s perception of child welfare in the United States is
generally painted by media reports of isolated cases of tragedy. Not
only is this often an inaccurate picture of the child welfare system,
but worse, it drives public will against that system’s leaders and leaves
them especially vulnerable to the fallout that occurs when cases of
severe abuse or child death hit the front page and television news.
Public opinion research (Lake, 2009–2013; Triad Research, 1995–
1996) and select analysis of media coverage around child fatalities
show that the gap between public perception and the realities of
child welfare leave the system wanting for resources and allies. And
politicians may respond with crisis-driven policies that are not the
best for keeping children and teens safe, ensuring their well-being,
and supporting families.
Child welfare professionals struggle to understand why they so
frequently are left standing alone on the firing line of the media, pol-
icymakers, and the public. Charged with oversight and investigation,
child welfare agencies usually are called upon to be the face of cases
involving child abuse or neglect—but are by no means the only pub-
lic entity to have some contact with the family. Dedicated child wel-
fare workers are painfully aware that by the time an adverse event
occurs, children and their families may have passed through the juris-
dictions of a range of educational, medical, social, law enforcement
and judicial agencies, including private providers and extended.

Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

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.

7. Where COVID-19 Fits
(Pick the Right Toolkit!)
Precaution advocacy: Warning unduly apathetic people
■ Crucial in the early months – when most officials were doing outrage management (giving false reassurance) instead.
■ Are COVID holdouts now really apathetic, or something else – outraged at lockdowns and mandates maybe, or in denial
about the virus?
■ There are still some precaution advocacy needs – for example, warning people not to relax too much when COVID
levels are low, or not to rely too much on cloth masks.
Outrage management: Reassuring unduly alarmed people
■ Vaccine-hesitant people fearful of possible side effects or mistrustful of the experts.
■ Excessively alarmed people having trouble finding their way to a new normal. (PTSD?)
■ Conservatives generalizing their outrage at officials into unwillingness to take precautions.

12. My Top-of-Mind COVID-19
Risk Communication Gripes (today’s shortlist)
■ Dissenting opinions have been discouraged and disparaged.
■ Optimistic opinions have been discouraged and disparaged.
■ Experts have been overconfident and have resisted acknowledging ignorance.
■ Public health has too often prioritized health over truth.
■ Public health has too often conflated policy opinions with “The Science.”
■ Public health has paid too little attention to non-health concerns (economy, education, liberty,
etc.).
■ Public health has insufficiently acknowledged and apologized for errors, deficiencies, and
misbehaviors.
■ Public health biases and policies have leaned left, abandoning right-leaning people who then
turned to antivaxxers and other outliers.

Challenges to Disaster Research
• “Gold Standard” research is hard to achieve
o Disasters are inherently rare and dynamic events
• Resources for disaster research are inconsistent
• University incentives do not always favor disaster research
▪ Preference for expanding knowledge in one field rather than explore the
intersection of several
• Research methodologies are still being developed and refined
o Need for methodological research as well as disaster research
• Scientific contribution and real-world impact are not always seen
as the same thing
• Chronic uncertainty in outputs, especially in practical application

41. Public Health and Crisis Situations:
Communicating and Connecting with
Confidence on Climate Change
Dr. Lisa Patel
Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Stanford School of
Medicine
Executive Director, Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health
42. Climate change as the greatest public
health crisis of the 21st century
43. Objectives
● To describe why the health professional voice
can spark climate action
● To analyze ways health professionals can
integrate climate change into their clinical
practice

46. Communicating with Reasonable Confidence On Climate Change Crises: The
Example of Wildfires
Sun Q, Miao C, Hanel M, et al. Global heat stress on health, wildfires, and agricultural crops under different levels of climate warming.
Environ Int 2019;128:125-136.
If carbon emissions continue
unabated, we can expect a 74%
increase in the frequency of
wildfires by the end of the
century
47. Burning fossil fuels
BOTH causes global
warming AND pollutes
our air. Both of these are
forms of climate
pollution hurting our
health
Wildfire smoke is ~10X
as harmful to health
compared to other types
of air pollution (Aguilera
et. al Pediatrics 2021)
48. Opportunities to do better
Study by Deventer et. al. on
wildfire risk communication
found:
● Only 46% and 33% of
government and media
messages had info on
personal interventions to
reduce risk
● Only 28% of government
and 31% of media
messages had info
specific to vulnerable
populations
● Only 58% and 46% of
government and media
messages referenced
trusted sources of
information.
49. Interventions to consider in risk communication messaging for wildfires
Van Deventer, et. al. Wildfire Smoke Risk Communication Efficacy: A Content Analysis of Washington State's 2018
Statewide Smoke Event Public Health Messaging. Journal of Public Health Management and Practice 27(6):p 607-614.
TABLE - Codes and Definitions
Code Definition
Personal intervention Message contained information about an intervention that individuals could take to prevent exposure or protect their
health. Personal interventions subcoded include stay inside, activity change, heat-related risk reduction activities,
N95 mask, HEPA filter, DIY filter, evacuation.
Administrative
intervention
Messaged contained information about an intervention administered by the government to prevent exposures or
protect health, Administrative interventions subcoded include cancel outdoor events, relocate events, close public
facilities, camp/youth sport closure, clear air/cooling center, HEPA air filter distribution
Vulnerable population Message discussed population vulnerable to wildfire smoke. Vulnerable populations subcoded include individuals
with/who are respiratory conditions, children, elderly, cardiac conditions, pregnant, asthma, stroke history, infants,
pets, outdoor workers, homeless
Trusted source of
information
Message mentioned a government agency or academic organization that the reader could access for additional
information. Trusted sources of information subcoded include clear air agency, Washington Department of Health,
Washington Department of Ecology, local health departments, hospitals, Environmental Protection Agency, National
Weather Service, US Forest Service, universities, Washington Department of Natural Resources
Abbreviations: DIY, do-it-yourself; HEPA, high-efficiency particulate air.
50. Our current communications strategy on wildfires: opportunities to do better
What is a “sensitive population.” You have to go digging to
find out.
Current guidance does not differentiate between wildfire
smoke and fossil fuel pollution when evidence shows they
are different
When talking about climate disasters like wildfires and
heat waves, we need to increase public’s
awareness/understanding that it’s due to the burning of
fossil fuels.
51. Importantly, our communications strategy will
only be effective if we have solutions to point
people toward
● We need more resources for cooling centers, parks, air conditioned
schools, etc.
● We need more air purifier prescription programs, mask distribution
programs on poor air quality days.
● We need more partnerships with community organizations to understand
and resource needs (hydration stations? Clean air shelters? Buddy
systems?)
52. Finally, and most importantly, we
need to get off fossil fuels to
solve the climate crisis
Join our movement to help us do it
