Estimating the Burden
Plenary: Estimating the Burden - Nonfatal and Fatal Drowning in Recreational Water Sites - US 2001-2002
Presentaciondepowerpoint(Fashionandanorexia)[1]
Fashion refers to styles of clothing and accessories that are popular within a certain culture at a given time. Fashion trends are constantly changing and being replaced by new styles. Models pose to display and promote fashion trends and other products. Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, refusal to maintain a healthy body weight, and distorted body image. Possible causes of anorexia include culture, family, personality traits and life stressors. People with anorexia may use extreme weight loss methods and show physical signs like being very thin. With treatment including therapy and monitored weight gain, people can recover from anorexia.

Sentinel
The document describes the Sentinel system, a systematic approach to early recognition of drowning developed by lifeguards in New Zealand. Sentinel stratifies drowning risk into 5 statuses based on behaviors and symptoms, with Status 1 indicating an immediate threat to life. It provides guidance on detection, response, and care needed at each status. An early pilot study found lifeguards using Sentinel criteria could detect a Status 1 scenario 75% of the time within 30 seconds. Further research is still needed to fully validate the model.
