Health Evidence hosted a 60 minute webinar examining the effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups. Click here for access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/tUZ-u7QbMCY.
Alison O'Mara-Eves, Senior Researcher, University College London, EPPI-Centre and Ginny Brunton, Senior Health Researcher, University College London, EPPI-Centre presented findings from their review:
O'Mara-Eves A., Brunton G., Oliver S., Kavanagh J., Jamal F., & Thomas J. (2015). The effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups: A meta-analysis . BMC Public Health, 15, 129.
Community engagement is becoming an increasingly popular component included in the development and implementation of public health interventions. Involved community members take on roles that range from merely being informed, to being consulted, to collaborating or leading on the design, delivery and evaluation of public health strategies. This review examines the use of public health interventions with a community engagement component, particularly for its use in reducing health inequities among disadvantaged populations. Findings of the review suggest community engagement in public health interventions has an effect on several health outcomes, including health behaviours and self-efficacy. This webinar will examine the effectiveness and components of public health interventions that include community engagement and the impact on health outcomes.

Alison McFadden, Senior Research Fellow, Director, Mother and Infant Research Unit, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee and Anna Gavine, Research Fellow School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee will be leading the session and presenting findings from their recent Cochrane review:
McFadden A, Gavine A, Renfrew M, Wade A, Buchanan P, Taylor J, et al. (2017). Support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies . Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017(2), CD001141.
Evidence suggests that not breastfeeding negatively impacts the health of both infants and mothers. Additionally, data demonstrates an inadequate uptake of the World Health Organization’s recommendations regarding type and duration of breastfeeding in many countries. This review examines the impact of breastfeeding support interventions on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies, compared to usual care. One-hundred trials with over 83,246 mother-infant pairs were included in this review. Seventy-three of the one-hundred trials were involved in the data analyses. Findings suggest that breastfeeding support interventions reduce cessation of ‘any breastfeeding’ before 4 to 6 weeks and 6 months, and cessation of ‘exclusive breastfeeding’ at 4 to 6 weeks and at 6 months. This webinar will provide an overview of the impact of support on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies.

Final results of the teleherence web-mobile-phone system to support client tr...husITa
Care or case management provides outreach and engagement, problem assessment and understanding, service planning of goals and objectives, advocacy and care coordination, referrals to resource, and monitoring plan progress and problem resolution. One major problem is clients’ adherence to service plans, with adherence failures ranging from about 24% to 90%. Recent technology has raised interest in using mobile smartphones to improve outcomes for clients receiving care management.
The goal of the Teleherence project was to improve client mental health outcomes including empowerment, self-efficacy, and clinician-client relationships by increasing their adherence to treatment and services using prediction technology and web-enabled telecommunications between clinicians, clients, and clients’ family and friends.
The Teleherence system allows clinicians to automatically provide voice or text communication with clients. The system could deliver a series of voice or text statements as well as questions that could accept responses from clients, and based on these responses, branch to additional statements or questions or perform other tasks such as playing an audio file.
Four applications of Teleherence found that while potential benefits can be had, many agencies have antiquated computing systems, are constantly threatened with budget cuts and reorganization, have non-standard interventions, and have high staff turnover making a sophisticated automated system difficulty to integrate into existing services. Adapting internet and mobile technology into services takes resources that agencies often prefer to devote to additional services, especially if no research establishes the effectiveness and cost savings of web-phone technologies. Finally, the security and privacy of client data is a constant struggle for agencies and researchers. All these concerns can derail service automation efforts.
This presentation suggests the road ahead in human services web-phone automation offers much potential, but is usually difficult, time consuming, and can substantially change how services are delivered.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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.
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
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.

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

Matter of transition
• Growing number of older adults &
decreasing number of care professionals
• Telehomecare can offer a potential
solution by supporting older adults to agein-place [Pountney, 2009] by substituting more
efficient e-visits for in-person
• Some Dutch homecare organisations are
dealing with the question: how can we
integrate telecare in our care pathways?
• Homecare organisations experience
barriers to implementation (Kort, Van Hoof, 2012).

9. Method
Phase 2 – Exploration of telecare tasks
1. Development of a complete
list of care tasks, provides by
the homecare organisation
Interviews with district nurses of Rivas
2. Estimation of time required
for each task
Based on experience of nurses and
their managers
3. Assessment of care tasks:
which tasks can be provided
via telecare?
4. Estimation of time for each
possible telecare task
5. Reach consensus of tasks
that can be substituted and
times that can be saved in
this particular organisation
According to:
• Representatives of the two
selected devices
• Homecare organistions that already
use telecare
In collaboration with district nurses of
Rivas

Implications for self-management
So, the transition of face-to-face care to telecare has great
implications for self-management of patients
At the same time, recently (2013) a Dutch survey observed
that “few Dutch older adults choose to use self-management
tools” [Krijgsman et al., 2013]
On of the reasons that UUAS in 2011 already started the
PETZ-project: Predictors for the Use of eHealth by Older
Adults and Professionals (www.petz.hu.nl)

Implications for nursing practice
New eHealth competencies are required [Barakat et al., 2013], for example
• Have basic skills for using technology and hardware
• Ability to treat and diagnose effectively at a distance
• Know and be able to translate the benifits of eHealth
technologies to end users (http://www.medicine20.com/2013/2/e10/)
A changing role: less providing care directly, more coaching
Coordinating care, carried out by the patient himself or
his family carers (self-management)

Future challenges for research and nursing
education
Future research
– More evidence on competencies required for telecare /
eHealth [Van Houwelingen et al., 2013]
– More evidence on competencies required for selfmanagement support
Nursing education
Nursing schools should take the responsibility to offer an
adequate preparation for the rapidly changing health care
sector:
• Education on eHealth
• Education on self-management
