Presentation introducing our MoyoMom app designed for the interdisciplinary course, Affordable Healthcare Technologies, with Agnes Scott College, Emory and Georgia Institute of Technology.
This presentation:
1) Explores the current state of consumer health apps.
2) give examples of the major categories of health apps.
3) Showcases the functions of some of the mental health apps developed by HealtheDesigns for the Veterans Administration.
SBHCs play an important role in teen pregnancy prevention efforts, as evidenced by the fact that more than 70% of SBHCs in California provide some form of reproductive health services and education. There is a need to move beyond traditional to more innovative approaches through integration of technology in clinical settings and going beyond the clinic walls to advance the health and well-being of adolescents. This interactive workshop will highlight findings from the Health-E You study at 18 Los Angeles Unified School District Wellness Center and SBHC sites, and introduce scenarios of how reproductive health conversations lead to the provision of services.

South EIP Peer & Carer Peer Worker Open Forum - PIER, Portland, Maine (USA) Sarah Amani
We were very happy to hear that Health Education England has an ambition to double the number of Peer Support Workers in mental health as we believe that peer support is such an important part of early intervention in psychosis. EIP teams in the South of England have grown their peer support workforce from 5 to 26 in the last couple of years. To support further development, we have set up a monthly forum for peer support workers and this forum is open to other professionals every 3 months. For the next forum, we will be joined by Randy Morrison (Director of Peer Services), Sarah Lynch (PIER Programme Manager) Danny Kochanowski (Peer Services Supervisor) and Saras Yerlig (Youth Peer Support Worker from the Portland Identification and Early Referral (PIER) Service in Maine, Portland (USA) to hear about how they have embedded peer support work across all their services and how they support peer workers to develop within their role.
This presentation was featured in a webinar that explored evidence-based approaches to engage youth and young adults from foster care in the prevention of unintended or untimely pregnancies. The webinar also highlighted effective supports for young people in care as parents as they tend to their own developmental needs.

Good Morning, Professor Nissa and Fellow Classmates:
The three basic types of evaluation in Family Life Education is the assessing needs and assets evaluation which is the most important stage of the evaluation because involves identifying a plan as to what will be needed in order to reach the goal or program to be set in place after the evaluation is completed. The evaluation is a process vice an event; the formative evaluation generates information with the purpose to plan, monitor, and improve programs which is also referred to as process evaluations. Formative evaluations describe a program and provide feedback as to how the program is working by using surveys midway through the program in order to view if the program is working and to identify if the information needs to be retaught or reinforced and the summative evaluation sometimes referred to as the outcome evaluation which is viewing the end result of a program such as how is the program working; are the goals being met and if not determining if the program should be expanded, copied or removed. (Darling, Cassidy, & Powell, 2014, pp. 155-156). Basically establishing a programs worth by focusing on the outcome.
The formative assessment goal is to gather feedback that can be used by the family life educator as a guide improvements in the ongoing teaching and learning context. Summative assessment is to measure the level of success that has been obtained after improvements have been identified and used. (Author unknown, 2016).
The program I will use as an example would be marriage enrichment program. The program will meet twice a month, biweekly for 2 hours, and for one year. Initially using the needs and assets assessing evaluation I would complete a mini study on who my target audience would be (how many married couples are in the area – identify my target audience), what resources are available such as are there churches offering martial counseling or retreats that perhaps I could partner with or expand on what is being done already also ensuring if there is a need for this program and will the community support this program.
Once the program is established I would introduce the formative evaluation stage by submitting surveys for the participants’ midway through the program to ensure there aren’t any problems that may hinder the participants’ participation in the program such as work hours or babysitting issues, material to vague, material to overwhelming, or class too condensed to cover the amount of material submitted. The main goal being that everyone leaves the program with a better understanding on how to have a successful marriage.
The summative evaluation will be the participants completing an interview to determine if the information provided to them will assist them in their marriage relation.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Editor's Notes
The WHO defines maternal death as the death of a women while pregnant or following birth up to 42 days. MM by cause of death include cardiac, hemorrhage, ect. These are according to death certificates. There are many underlying causes that are not mentioned. That graph here shows that most women die one month after childbirth. That’s associated with inadequate postpartum care, and other pregnancy related complications.
Most cases of maternal deaths are preventable with access to prenatal care during pregnancy, skilled care during labor, and care and support throughout and following the pregnancy process are crucial in the prevention of unnecessary maternal deaths.
Nationally, the maternal mortality ratio is 43.5 deaths per 100,000 live births for Black women and 12.7 per White women. The U.S. is one of the 13 countries where maternal mortality is worse now than it was 15 years ago. Maternal health and death are influenced by socioeconomic, cultural, and political environments, which are shaped by policy-level decisions and state-level structures
MMR from 2010- 2011 was 23.2 per 1000,000 live birth but it nearly doubled to 43.6 in 2013. According to Kaiser family report, Georgia is also the 5th poorest state in the U.S., a situation which disproportionately impacts Black communities. Research has shown that the impact of race on health stems largely from differences in access to resources and opportunities that can hurt or enhance health. In 2013, GA ranked 50, but as of 2017, it is at 48.
Low health literacy is associated with poor health outcomes. According to the National Assessment of Adult Literacy, nearly 36% of US adults have inadequate health literacy. Socioeconomic status include education- health literacy, occupation, income (low/high) determine the standard of living, also constituting to whether a person or family will have health insurance.

In order to see how communities would like to use our app to meet their needs, we will conduct focus groups and user groups that will help us perfect and finalize our product. After receiving that feedback, we will beginning promoting the app within the greater community, especially African-American churches. From these promotions, we will recruit and gather a cohort of pregnant women committed and interested in using the app for at least 6 months. The data we will be receiving from this cohort we will analyze and evaluate in order to see what benefits the app provided and how it could be improved for the 2nd round of pilot implementation.
