How is social media being used to support health promotion efforts to engage young people? This review of the literature and active resources aimed at preventing substance use among youth and providing early intervention exposure was conducted for Health Canada in 2012. The purpose of the report is to explore the ways in which social media is being used, the challenges and opportunities it brings, and examine the evidence on what works, doesn't and consider what is needed.
This presentation provides an overview of the role that policy advocacy has played in activating greater visibility for the female condom and increased procurement in the developing world. It highlights the important role that third-party partnerships play in mobilizing evidence of need and demand for health products in the developing world. The presentation identifies policy advocacy and social marketing as essential complements to a comprehensive marketing and promotion strategy.
Telehealth allows patients to have visits with health care providers remotely using video technology. Such visits are increasingly available and have the potential to make health care more accessible and convenient for patients. In May 2019, the University of Michigan National Poll on Healthy Aging asked a national sample of adults age 50–80 about their experiences with and opinions of telehealth.

A survey of more than 2,200 adults over the age of 50 finds that more than 20% of them had experienced an emergency — a weather event or power outage — in the past year, but many were not necessarily prepared. Here’s more:
•Medical supplies: Among those who take medications, some 18% didn’t have a week’s supply of essential drugs handy. Among those who relied on electricity for medical equipment, a quarter said they had alternate ways of generating power.
•Shelter and mobility: The majority said they’d have transportation to leave their home in case of an emergency, but a quarter said they’d have trouble finding another place to stay.
•Other supplies: A little over half said they have a seven-day supply of food and water. Fewer than a third have a fully stocked emergency kit.

Project Proposal: Awareness on HIV/AIDS in South American States

Introduction to the Problem
Introduction to the Problem
Problem to be addressed. The first cases of AIDS in the United States were reported in New Yolk City and Los Angeles in 1981, but since then the epicenter of the country's HIV epidemic has shifted to the District of Columbia and the 16 states that make up the South, from urban centers. Today, the South is the most affected region and carries the greatest burden of HIV illnesses, deaths, and infection than any other region in the U.S, Rosenberg et al. (2015) reports.
Problem subtopic. Southern states alone account for 44 percent of all individuals infected with HIV in the U.S; surprisingly the region has approximately one-third of the overall population in the U.S. Southern states experience internal disparities due to their geographical position. The majority of people living with HIV live in urban areas just like the rest of the nation, Abara et al. (2015).
Possible Causes and Maintaining Forces
Cause. Unique socioeconomic factors in the South are the primary cause of the heavy burden of HIV. Poverty, poorer health facilities, income inequality, have been more prevalent in the Southern states than the rest of the country. These conditions are not unique to HIV and, overall, the populations in the region have long experienced poorer health outcomes. Among the health challenges are higher rates of diabetes, cancer, obesity as well as infant mortality compared to other areas, Hall et al. (2015) highlight.
Cause. Cultural factors and social barriers also contribute to worsening HIV infection in the South of the United States. Issues such as transphobia, homophobia, racism as well as a lack of openness in discussing sexuality in public are more common in the South, and they result in higher levels of stigma, limiting people's willingness to look for HIV testing, prevention, and care services. The challenges also restrict access to sexual health information which is critical to enable individuals to protect themselves from infection, according to Reif et al. (2015). Many people in South America are fearful or ignorant of HIV. Transgender women and men who have sex with men face high levels of discrimination and stigma putting them at risk of homicide and crimes. Since 2008, about 1,200 transgender individuals have been killed in South America. Furthermore, 44-70 percent of transgender women have expressed the need to relocate or were thrown out of their homes (Skarbinski et al., 2015).
Why the problem persists. The South experiences higher HIV diagnosis rates in rural and suburban areas that other regions countrywide. In this case, there are various drawbacks to HIV prevention efforts in this area, Abara et al. (2015) comments.
Why the problem persists. Compared to other regions, many Southerners living with HIV are not awar ...
A tremendous need exists to engage hard-to-reach populations in HIV/AIDS care. That’s because numerous factors prevent people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)—especially disadvantaged and disproportionately affected populations—from engaging in care or remaining in care.
This Webcast introduces providers to several successful strategies for reaching the most vulnerable populations:
Howell Strauss, DMD, AIDS Care Group, discusses traditional street outreach, as well as his involvement with both the SPNS Oral Health Initiative and the SPNS Jail Initiative.
Lisa Hightow-Weidman, MD, MPH, Department of Infectious Diseases University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, shares best practices in social marketing outreach in the context of her work as a SPNS Young Men who Have Sex with Men of Color Initiative grantee.

Sexual Health is Just Health: Findings from a CDC National STD Prevention Tra...YTH
Think about the last time you thought you had an STD. How did you feel? Who did you tell? What did you do? Awkward, right? Maybe this hasn't happened to you personally, but each year over 20 million Americans contract a Sexually Transmitted Disease. Over 50% are youth and most go undetected and untreated. Just Health is a risk screen app being used in over 100 School-Based Health Centers and is the flagship tool of a National CDC Center for Technology Innovation that is focused on adolescent sexual health. Just Health works to improve patient-provider communication and reduce stigma around a range of topics from safety, substance use, mental health, and sexual health including the intersectionality of needs and gender identity and sexual orientation. Just Health is an example of ongoing evaluation in real-word conditions. Population-level data are improving understanding of these needs and risks from a system perspective.

Through the use of telehealth technology, at-home HIV testing is brought to research participants in the comfort of their own home. This presentation explains the significance and impact of two active research studies of using telehealth for remote counseling sessions and at-home HIV testing from the University of Michigan.
Zines as a Means: Using Alternative Publishing as a Health Resource and Empow...YTH
Zines (mini, independently created magazines) have been used throughout history as a tool to explore social and political issues. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the history of zines. After a short presentation of the presenter's use of zines with Planned Parenthood's PG-13 Players, Vanderbilt LGBTQI Life, Students of Stonewall LGBTQI youth activism team, and Advocates for Youth, we will brainstorm together ways in which zines can be used in organizing and similar work, identify at least one practical way each of us can use zines in our life and work, and learn how to create a zine out of a single sheet of paper. Online resources and tools that can be used to amplify resources will be presented. Examples of zines in youth, health, and technology fields will be provided.
As we release products and services into the world they have the potential to reshape and transform. Good, bad, or both this impact is something that we need to understand. It is no longer good enough to have a good idea. How does thinking about our work in context of the interwoven communities it impacts affect the way we approach the design process, and how does it shape the way we evaluate success?

DIY is an innovative intervention based on positive youth development and youth-centered design. This presentation will describe how to involve youth in the program design, share strategies on how to engage vulnerable populations, and highlight preliminary findings.
Telemedicine is a collection of means or methods for enhancing health care, public health and health education delivery and support using telecommunications technologies. With more than 95% of adults, and 100% of young adults between the age of 18-29 owning a cell phone in the United States, a technology-based health intervention can be available to hard-to-reach populations or underserved areas.
Panelists will engage a rich dialogue and showcase innovative and effective ways to create prevention programs for HIV and STDs using the potential telehealth can offer, specifically with linking young people to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. This plenary brings together leaders in the field of HIV prevention, research and policy along with private organizations and companies that are currently active on the field of biomedical prevention.
Positive Connections: Digital Support for Adolescents Living with HIVYTH
Adolescents living with HIV need accurate information about their diagnosis, care, and treatment; as well as long-term counseling and support. In-person support groups are a promising approach to meeting these needs, however some ALHIV face distinct challenges to attending regular in-person meetings. Virtual support groups may help to overcome challenges such as transportation costs, living away from home because of school or work, fear of stigma, or perceived danger associated with disclosure to household members. In this session attendees will learn how FHI 360, on behalf of YouthPower Action, is currently adapting the evidence based “Positive Connections: Leading Information and Support Groups for Adolescents Living with HIV, for delivery via Facebook.

"It's Just a Preference": Dating Apps, Discrimination, and LGBTQ HealthYTH
It seems like there's a mobile app for just about everything nowadays even ones that can help you find that special someone. Although dating apps are great for finding new partners, they can also provide a platform for discriminatory language and behaviors, which can eventually lead to negative health outcomes. In this presentation, I'm going to combine data from qualitative interviews with gay men and actual language used on dating app profiles to shed light on how discrimination on these dating apps translates to negative health outcomes. Many LGBTQ folks rely on various technologies to connect with one another including LGBTQ youth but then face discrimination from those within their own community. Join me as I try to brainstorm solutions and reimagine the future of inclusive dating apps.

Are your social media ads flopping? Still using a flyer to recruit youth for research studies? Learn the to-do's and to-don'ts of using social media to recruit youth for research studies and programs. We recruited over 2,500 young women into two national randomized controlled trials to test two sexual health digital tools. We will show you our process for selecting the appropriate social media format to reach youth, developing relevant materials that makes youth click, and monitoring the campaigns to assess their effectiveness. We will share examples of our own materials, graphics, messages, recruitment videos, and tag lines used to entice youth. See how some flopped and how others exceeded our expectations. We will also present concrete data on recruitment cost, relevance, clicks, and reach, and how to tweak your campaigns to stay within budget and be more effective.
Parents for Prevention: Raising a sexually healthy generationYTH
Do you work with parents and caregivers of young people from birth to high school and beyond? Are you interested in helping them discover how to raise the generation that will help get us closer to ending sexual violence for good? Come join us as we talk about Parents for Prevention, an online space and accompanying mentoring curriculum, and learn how we took the project from initial idea, through focus group testing, to website creation, and recruiting and training parent partners. We will share our successes and spectacular failures, where we're heading next, and how you can use this tool in your own communities.

Can games improve the delivery of health services? We think so that's why our team has set out to explore whether gamification, the use of game elements in non-game contexts, can enhance services to prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. We hypothesize that the foundational elements of games competition, collaboration, skill acquisition, and fun can motivate young men to engage in positive health behaviors to protect themselves and their communities. We are a team of epidemiologists, economists, clinicians, and game experts working together to understand whether games can be useful additions to the clinical setting.
Smart Connect: Bringing Contraceptive Services Closer to Adolescent Girls thr...YTH
A360 revolutionizes the way adolescent girls access contraceptives by flipping the model and starting with what matters to her. In Tanzania, A360 has co-designed with girls a program called Kuwa Mjanja, where girls can "be smart" (Swahili translation) and learn about themselves both their bodies and their dreams. Kuwa Mjanja inspires and opens possibilities, empowering girls to take action by considering contraception as "the first step to taking control of your future now." Connecting with Sara (CwS) is a DHIS2-powered, open-source platform to track, link, and engage with Sara (our client) through use of mobile phones to facilitate engagement with community mobilizers, service providers, and follow-up efforts. CwS enables a new way to engage with and bring service delivery closer to Sara. The platform powers program teams to engage more dynamically with Sara and to actively use data to inform pathways to method adoption.

Over the course of the past four years, the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) repeatedly adapted the OppiaMobile platform an open-source, Android-based application for use in diverse country contexts. Each subsequent OppiaMobile app is developed as part of an evolving global system that supports thoughtful creation, curation, packaging and distribution of health-related content for health workers. With each subsequent adaptation of the OppiaMobile platform, CCP expands its ability to design and develop, sustainable context-specific job aids and BCC tools for frontline health workers and their clients.
Learning from real people through conversations at scaleYTH
During this presentation we will join in live conversation with 18-24 year olds in Kenya using mSurvey. We will develop a mobile conversation to answer any burning questions from the audience while also demonstrating best practices for mobile (e.g, concise content limited to 10 questions and 160 characters per question). Conversational responses from actual Kenyans will be viewed in real time allowing for a dynamic and iterative conversation about the most pressing issues impacting Kenyan youth today. Following the live conversation, we'll engage in a guided discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of mobile as a channel for connecting with global youth such as costs, ethical considerations, and content limitations.

The intersection of community engagement, research, and interactive technology is an innovative way for youth to develop leadership and 21st century skills. The California Adolescent Health Collaborative and community health clinic partners, Livingston Community Health and Asian Health Services, developed Project PARTNER, where youth in rural and urban communities learn critical thinking, problem solving, and collaborative processes through researching community health issues. \n\nYouth and adult allies from the health clinics were recruited to be members of a cross-generational and cross-regional community advisory board and were trained in research methodology. The online educational technology platform Kahoot!, and the mobile app Kahoot!, were utilized in training members on research fundamentals. The advisory boards then developed community surveys through Google Forms and utilized its mobile app feature to canvas neighborhoods to obtain community data. With data collected, they will develop research questions and participate in collaborative cross-site activities to support their research.
Alcohol use, gender based violence and HIV risk among female sex workers in T...YTH
Female sex workers (FSWs) are disproportionately affected by HIV and gender-based violence (GBV). Substance use has been shown to overlap with these co-occurring epidemics to further increase FSWs' risk for negative health outcomes. However, limited research has explored how aspects of the sex work environment shapes this risk. In this session, we will discuss findings from a mixed methods study that examined how aspects of the sex work environment facilitate alcohol use and increase FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV. We will then discuss the implications these results have for future interventions, with a special focus on the role technology can play in addressing aspects of the sex work environment to limit alcohol use and reduce FSWs' risk for GBV and HIV.

But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
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
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

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.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
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

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.
