0 likes•221 views
Over the last decade, more than half a million people have died in floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and tsunamis in South-East Asia, with health facilities often collapsing when communities need them most after disasters. Governments in South-East Asia have committed to ensuring health facilities, old and new, can withstand disasters through strong structures, contingency plans, and emergency-trained staff to save thousands of lives. WHO is campaigning for safe hospitals by testing people's reaction times on Facebook and their website to build public support for action.

Urban perspectives on zoonotic diseases in livestock
Eric Fèvre discussed urban perspectives on zoonotic diseases from livestock. He explained that urbanization is creating interfaces where pathogens can be transmitted from livestock to humans. His research in Nairobi examines the livestock value chain and uses E. coli as a model to map transmission routes from farms to households through landscape genetics. Understanding how people and pathogens move through the urban system can help predict and manage emerging disease risks.

El documento describe la gran desigualdad de riqueza que existe en El Salvador, donde unos pocos tienen una riqueza fabulosa mientras que millones viven en la pobreza o pobreza extrema. Señala que los ingresos de las 20 empresas más grandes del país serían suficientes para resolver problemas como la falta de vivienda, educación y salud para toda la población, así como reducir la deforestación y contaminación. Plantea que redistribuyendo mejor los recursos se podría elevar significativamente el nivel de vida de los salvadoreños.

Health benefits of tarragon
Tarragon is an herb in the sunflower family that has been used medicinally and in cooking. Research shows that tarragon and its components may help manage metabolic syndrome and diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. Studies in animals and cells suggest tarragon reduces blood glucose levels and prevents or delays diabetic neuropathy. Traditionally, tarragon has been used to treat various ailments and as a flavoring in foods and medicines.

"Hurricane Matthew struck Haiti on October 4, 2016, as a Category 4 hurricane. The combined effects of wind, coastal flooding and rain caused heavy flooding, landslides, and the destruction of a great deal of infrastructure, agricultural crops and natural ecosystems. In all, 546 people were killed, more than 175,500 people sought refuge in shelters, and about 1.4 million people required immediate humanitarian assistance.(n.d.)." Outside of the devastating destruction of the hurricane, the aftermath exacerbated the spread of cholera. Polluted water, sewage over flow, and the population relocated to living in close proximity contributed to the rapid spread of cholera. If left untreated cholera can be deadly. Proper sewage disposal and clean water is the best method to prevent the spread of this disease.
Roughly, 14,000 cases of cholera were reported after hurricane Matthew. The International Medical Corps provided aid in the treatment of cholera. "We also supported Haiti’s Ministry of Public Health and Population’s (MSPP) oral cholera vaccination campaign, through which approximately 729,000 people were vaccinated. We provided operational support for the campaign, including payment and logistics for vaccinators, monitoring and evaluation capacity. In addition, we are operating seven mobile medical units focused on reaching remote and isolated communities, traveling by foot, canoe, and any means necessary to deliver health care and vital relief supplies.In addition to our Emergency Response Team’s Hurricane Matthew activities, our Haiti Country Team continues to implement ongoing health, nutrition, and WASH programs in Nord, Nord-este, Artibonite, and Ouest departments.(IMC, 2017)."
Other organization such as the Red Cross, the World Health Organization, the U.S. Military, the PanAmerican Health Organization, and the Center for Disease Control, sent medical supplies, clear water, and monetary funds to contributed to rebuilding the country. The United European Nations sent similar resources. All of the above organizations responses were appropriate. Sending medical supplies and medical professionals to aid in protecting the population of Haiti was effective in slowing the infection rates. The loss of hospitals were offset by the monetary and military support deployed. Four years later Haiti is still rebuilding from this devastating disaster.

Transforming Cultures from Consumerism to Sustainability - Essay.pdf
Transforming Cultures from Consumerism to Sustainability - Essay
Solution
Some 60 percent of ecosystem services are being despoiled or used unsustainably. The damage is
the consequence of cultural systems which give confidence to people to describe their happiness
in addition to success in terms of how much they consume. This propensity, together with
unsustainable population growth rates, is overpowering our finite planet, intimidating to cause
noteworthy disruptions to Earth\'s climate and ecosystems, and consequently to human
civilization. Consumerism has engulfed human cultures and Earth’s ecosystems and if left
unaddressed, we threat global disaster. However if we direct this wave, deliberately changing our
cultures to center on sustainability, we will not only put off disaster, however may steer in an era
of sustainability—one which allows all people to prosper whilst protecting, even restoring, Earth.
World watch Institute\'s Transforming Cultures plan turns a critical eye to how we can transfer
today\'s consumer cultures in the direction of cultures of sustainability. The solution to this
revolution will lie in harnessing institutions which play a vital role in shaping society— like
media, educational services, business, governments, traditions, as well as social movements—to
inspire this new cultural course.
The plan also seeks to bring women into educational, economic, political as well as health parity
with men. This will necessitate the wearing away of cultural norms which endorse early and
frequent childbearing while intensifying women\'s capability to decide when to bear children.
Studies explain that such advances slow and ultimately end population growth, allowing for
more sustainable growth all-inclusive..

Disaster Preparedness: Flooding

Disaster Preparedness: Flooding
The Disaster
In my community of Austin, TX, there aren’t many natural disasters that we could possibly be faced with. The most hazardous disaster Austin is at risk for is flooding. Austin has several bodies of water that flow through the city and surrounding areas in addition to lots of hills and forestation. Austin is also located in Central Texas, an area known for being close to and below sea level in many areas. The combination of those factors creates a perfect recipe for a flooding disaster. Additionally, there are numerous situations where people can become infected with illnesses because of being exposed to contaminated waters during flooding (McClung, 2017). Flood victims can be exposed to Legionella, Pseudomonas, Giardia, and many other gastrointestinal illnesses. The nurse can assist with disaster preparedness by helping to educate the community on how to protect their health during exposure to environmental hazards.
The Nursing Response
As with all other healthcare needs, prevention is the first step the community nurse should take to prepare their community for potential flooding. Collaboration among multiple agencies is necessary and requires a great amount of complexity given the number of different organizations that will be involved (Rafferty-Semon, 2017). Nurses offer unique skill sets in managing emergencies. Examples include proper assessment, priority recognition, communication, and collaboration skills. Competent nurses can also use these skills to make significant decisions under duress (Rafferty-Semon, 2017).
Because state and national funding is limited for practicing disaster plans on a community level, the nurse can be most effective by connecting community members to the resources available during a disaster. Austin has several different options that offer the same emergency services to the public. Austin is within Travis County and I can direct the community to the county website where they can find emergency planning information. This website tells the public where they can find updated weather forecasts, road blocks and closures due to flood waters, and contact numbers for the community members to relay non-emergency weather damage. This website will also assist the public with creating an emergency plan for their family and flood survival kits. My co ...

Charles B. Wang Community Health Center (CBWCHC) in New York City responded to the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The attacks had lasting mental health and financial impacts on residents of Chinatown. CBWCHC dealt with these effects by providing mental health counseling and financial assistance programs. Through this experience, CBWCHC learned the importance of being prepared to address both physical and mental health needs during emergencies, as well as coordinating with local partners.
disaster management
Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from both natural and man-made disasters to minimize their effects. It includes disaster mitigation measures to reduce risk, preparedness planning and training, emergency response during and immediately after a disaster, and recovery efforts to rebuild infrastructure and restore communities. The key principles are using existing day-to-day resources, focusing on large-scale events, making individuals responsible for their own safety, and involving non-government agencies. India is vulnerable to various types of disasters due to factors like its climate and geography.
El Niño and Food Security
The El Niño climate pattern is fueling an international food security crisis for millions of people by disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns and affecting agriculture. The current El Niño event matches the strongest on record and its impact on food security in poor communities will intensify in the coming months. Unless emergency resources are provided swiftly, poor harvests and food scarcity will undermine development progress and vulnerable populations' ability to cope with climate change.

January, 2019
Introduction
World disasters are happening more intensely and frequently, demonstrating a critical need for the enhancement of risk management and response. High-profile disasters are increasing worldwide consciousness to strengthen national and regional capacity to mitigate, respond to and manage these disasters. Developing countries such as in the Caribbean islands, the middle east, and Africa are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters for reasons of lack of infrastructure, resources and exacerbated by geology, tectonic setting, topography and location, poor environmental management practices and land use among other reasons related to the country and respective natural or man-made disasters that frequent it (Veeneema, 2018).
Earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires are some of the most common natural disasters that have even affected developed nations such as the United States crippling small and large communities, killing thousands and destroying any infrastructure around where they occur. The disasters being experienced today worldwide are some of most devastating and strongest in the last 100 years of the human history and have been argued to be a just mere precedents for the worst that are yet to come in the near future in the face of climate change and global warming as well as other destructive human activities.
Local, state and national response
The use of technology has been employed in response to these disasters enabling rescue operations and recovery allowing cities to rebuild after each event in the wake of these disastrous happenings and empowering the rescuers to help save more lives and others to intervene. Under normal circumstances worldwide, disaster repose in high-income cou.

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.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

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.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

Safe Hospitals in Disasters - WHO
- 1. Disasters Destroy in Seconds
- 2. WHO Needs You To Be Fast!
- 3. Over the last decade, more than half a million people have died in devastating floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and tsunamis in South-East Asia.
- 4. Health facilities are lifelines in the aftermath of such disasters, yet they often collapse or fail when most needed – when communities have been hardest hit.
- 5. Governments in South-East Asia have committed to ensuring health facilities, old or new, are safe. This means that the structure is strong enough to withstand a disaster, that there are contingency plans in place and that staff is trained to respond to emergencies. This will save thousands of lives.
- 6. Help WHO push for safe hospitals in disasters.
- 7. Support the campaign by testing your reaction time on Facebook Page: Making Our Hospitals Safe in Disasters Not on Facebook? Go to : www.clickabrick.org
- 8. Every reaction is counted towards building the wave of public support WHO needs to push for concrete action. Thank you!
