The document summarizes efforts to integrate TB and HIV services in Ukraine. It describes challenges including a highly vertical healthcare system, lack of cooperation between AIDS and TB services, and ensuring access to quality second-line drugs for drug-resistant TB. Methods used to address this include establishing a TB/HIV working group, training health workers, and integrating prevention and treatment services. Outcomes include signing collaboration agreements and expanding integrated care services to over 1,000 clients. Further reforms are needed to fully integrate services and ensure long-term sustainability.

This document summarizes research on type 2 diabetes and new treatment options involving incretin hormones. It includes the following key points:
1. Incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP are secreted by the gut in response to food and act to regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon secretion.
2. In type 2 diabetes patients, the normal incretin effect is reduced. New therapies seek to replace or enhance the effects of incretins.
3. Two approaches are examined: incretin analogues like exenatide that mimic GLP-1 and have a longer half-life, and DPP-4 inhibitors like sitagliptin that prevent the
Treatment and care of HIV+ patients in Croatia is centralized, with all patients treated at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb. A study found the prevalence of HIV among men who have sex with men in Zagreb to be 14.2% in 2011, unchanged from 2006. While monitoring and treatment guidelines are available, fewer antiretrovirals are available compared to other EU countries. Late presentation to care remains a challenge, though the percentage of patients entering care within a month of diagnosis has increased in recent years.

Presentation french red cross, Alliance Ukraine, march17 2010Zahed Islam
The International HIV/AIDS Alliance in Ukraine held a briefing meeting in March 2010 in Kiev. The Alliance has implemented $79 million in HIV programs since 2007, targeting at-risk groups like injecting drug users, female sex workers, men who have sex with men, and prisoners. Key programs include opioid substitution therapy, prevention services, medical and psychosocial support for HIV-positive injecting drug users, and capacity building for NGOs. However, challenges remain around stigma, criminalization of drug use, expanding HIV testing, decentralizing health services, and integrating social services with clinical care.
The document discusses the technologies and processes used to film and edit a horror film sequence. A Sony HD camera, tripod, dolly, and battery were used for filming. Editing was done in Final Cut and iMovie, including using black and white effects and fades. GarageBand was used to create the soundtrack, using pre-made horror genre instrumentals and ambient noises. Synchronizing the soundtrack to the sequence timing during editing required continuously playing them together.

Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) and TB/MDR integrationZahed Islam
This document discusses Ukraine's experience integrating tuberculosis (TB) screening and treatment into opioid substitution therapy (OST) sites. It finds that:
1) Over 9,000 people in Ukraine were diagnosed with multi-drug resistant TB in 2013, and OST sites are screening their over 8,000 patients for TB.
2) OST sites located in TB clinics and integrated care centers provide TB screening and treatment to their 301 patients, while basic OST sites serve 68 patients.
3) Studies found that OST patients had good access to TB diagnosis and treatment through collaboration between OST sites and on-site or nearby TB clinics and doctors.
The document discusses several influential horror films including The Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity, Saw, Scream, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. It notes that The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity used low budgets and implied or off-screen scares to create fear and suspense. Saw uses graphic violence and gore but also provides a lesson about valuing life. Scream sticks to slasher conventions while being self-aware, and A Nightmare on Elm Street features the terrifying concept of being killed in dreams by Freddy Krueger.
Early TB detection and treatment efficiency among MARP'sZahed Islam
This document summarizes a project in Ukraine that worked to enhance early tuberculosis (TB) detection and treatment efficiency among at-risk populations. Non-governmental organizations screened over 10,000 people and detected 659 TB cases total, including 542 newly diagnosed or relapse cases. The project helped improve access to TB care for vulnerable groups and expanding these detection efforts through NGOs can further reduce TB spread and mortality among high-risk populations in Ukraine.
Universal access to art policy in place 5 july11Zahed Islam
Regional Workshop on Drug Use and HIV in Eastern Europe and Central Asia was held in Kyiv, Ukraine from July 11-15, 2011 by PEPFAR. Ukraine has over 180,000 registered HIV cases but only around 22,000 receive antiretroviral therapy (ART), and less than 1% of those are active injection drug users. New HIV laws in Ukraine passed in 1991, 1998, and 2001 guarantee certain rights for people who inject drugs including access to harm reduction services, but policies have not been fully implemented and emerging policies threaten access to services for people who inject drugs. Ensuring equal access to prevention, treatment and care services for all populations remains a challenge.
The document provides information about several horror films and their target audiences. It analyzes the Final Destination, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, and The Wolf Man films. These films range from targeting teenagers due to their use of gore and teen characters, to appealing more to middle-aged adults with dark Gothic settings and adult protagonists. Characteristics like the use of 3D, comics, and remakes are discussed in terms of drawing certain age demographics. A sample audience profile of a 19-year-old male fan of horror movies and heavy music is also included.

Early detection of TB cases in the community settingsZahed Islam
This document summarizes a presentation on early tuberculosis (TB) detection efforts among vulnerable groups in Ukraine. It discusses establishing screening and testing programs within 36 NGOs serving populations like sex workers, injecting drug users, and men who have sex with men. Key activities included training NGO staff, implementing screening questionnaires, collecting sputum samples on-site, and establishing referral pathways to healthcare facilities. Preliminary results showed improved access to TB services through the collaboration between NGOs and healthcare. However, motivation for clients to undergo TB testing remained low. Moving forward, over 75 NGOs will incorporate active TB detection and more training is needed to encourage clients to get tested and complete treatment if diagnosed.

Mary Aitken, Professor of Pediatrics with the Injury Prevention Center, Arkansas Children's Hospital, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, presented this at CPSC's ATV Safety Summit Oct. 12, 2012. Education for parents and youth riders of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) has focused on increasing rider use of helmets and other safety equipment, along with reducing other risky behaviors on the vehicles (passengers, road use). Recent focus group and survey data collected by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences ATV research group has led to educational material that is clearer and more practical. Users requested information that demonstrated consequences of risky ATV use and targeted both parents and youth riders. The focus group data also indicated that many users have a very inaccurate perception of ATV risk and stability, thereby reducing the perceived need for use of personal safety equipment. We are therefore working with engineers to develop validated computer models of ATVs to simulate performance with child riders and passengers. Recent speed, inclination and surface simulation models are compelling regarding risk to child riders and riders with passengers, showing ejection and ATV instability even at low speeds (10 mph) in some scenarios. When fully validated, these models may inform educational interventions to provide users with more realistic ATV safety images and motivate individual behavior change. The computer simulations can also highlight where ATV stability and performance may be improved.
The document discusses various tools and services provided by Pharma PR to help pharmaceutical companies with patient outreach, including intelligence on how to reach patients, targeting resources for marketing campaigns, and providing strategy and operational support from pre-marketing to ongoing management. It also presents examples of data and visualizations that can help companies understand disease prevalence and identify high-potential sites for clinical trials or patient engagement.
The document discusses new models of care needed due to increasing healthcare demands from an aging population and constrained resources. It notes rising medical card usage and healthcare costs for older groups. While primary care doctors make up a smaller portion of physicians compared to other countries, larger primary care centers in the future could provide selected procedures with sufficient volumes more efficiently than hospitals. The "sweet spot" is described as having strong clinical leadership, better patient experience, and more efficient resource use through approaches like increased scale and multi-disciplinary teams in primary care settings.

20. Risks in supplies of SLDs
Registration in Ukraine: only registered medicines can be used; not all
Round 9. Decrease the burden of TB in PLWHA
GDF eligible manufacturers wish to register. At that, registration is highly
bureaucratic process, which requires around 6 months.
When manufacturers’ contracts with GDF and/or ERP validity run out
manufacturers lose their eligibility with GDF; this seems to happen often and
it looks unpredictable. Consequences may be as serious as treatment
interruption and failure of the program.
Due to new WHO treatment recommendations, changes in PR’s plans and
other reasons final approval of the medicines list and quantities is
dramatically delayed, which delays procurement and treatment.
22

21. Challenges
Highly vertical heath care system of Ukraine is a major obstacle for HIV/TB
integration.
Frequent changes of management in the government leadership
Lack of cooperation between AIDS and TB services: information sharing,
joint planning, M&E performance measures and indicators.
Access to quality-assured second-line drugs
Lack of adequate financing
Stigma and discrimination
23
www.aidsalliance.org.ua
23. Achievements
Signed a trilateral MoU among Ukrainian AIDS Center, Ukrainian TB Control
Center and Alliance Ukraine on partnership and collaboration
A broader MoU was signed by the R9 PR (The Foundation for Development
of Ukraine), Regional Healthcare Departments and all sub-recipients
Creation and coordination of TB/HIV reference group
TB/HIV protocols and orders review
During last 7 months, around 150 service providers were trained from TB
and HIV services
During last 7 months, more than 2832 TB patients were covered with HIV
prevention services.
1220 clients were covered with integrated care services (HIV/TB/SMT)
25
www.aidsalliance.org.ua
25. Conclusion
Health care reform is needed in the area of HIV and TB and drug treatment.
Integration of these services should be replicated throughout the country to
provide better access for MARPs.
With the leadership from the Government a functional coordination
mechanism between all these services must be in place.
Ensure quality-assured second-line drugs
State financing is a cornerstone of sustainability
Further develop and mobilize civil society to demand accountability and to
address stigma and discrimination
