Taking Public Health Action To Stop Chronic NonCommunicable DiseasesElvira Beracochea
Dr. Elvira Beracochea presented on taking public health action to stop chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs). Up to 80% of CNCD deaths can be prevented through improved care and public health programs. CNCDs account for 70% of global deaths and will kill 10 billion from tobacco by 2030. Objectives were to discuss global and local actions to stop CNCDs and choose one 2014 action. Interventions like those in North Karelia involving communities and integrating services into healthcare were effective locally. The Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence was presented to assess addiction levels and guide tobacco treatment. Challenges include lack of trained workforce, medicines, and surveillance systems.

Placebos
• Placebo - inactive substance or condition that
has the appearance of an active treatment
• A belief in the effectiveness of a treatment
boosts the treatment’s effectiveness
• Placebo effect may account for around 35%
of treatment effects
• Placebos have been shown to lead to positive
health outcomes for many health disorders and
symptoms
– Migraine headaches, pain, depression,
anxiety, insomnia, asthma, hypertension
Research and the Placebo
• Treatments are effective when the treatment is more
effective than the placebo
• To determine if treatments are effective
– Need to directly compare treatment versus the
placebo
– Use two groups of people: one group receives
treatment and one group receives placebo
What you think about the treatment will impact its
effectiveness.
Who should you believe to decide if a treatment is likely to
be effective?

Longitudinal Studies
• Longitudinal studies draw conclusions about how
individuals change over time
– Follow the same set of participants over time
– Example - if a researcher wanted to know how
dietary choices affect health across the lifespan
• Annual diet survey over 20 years and analyze
major medical diagnoses
• Challenges – self report accuracy, other lifestyle
factors
Determining Causality
• Correlational, cross-sectional, and
longitudinal designs only examine
relationships between variables
– They do not determine causality - if one
variable directly causes another variable
Experimental Design
• Experimental designs — compare at least two
groups to be able to draw cause and effect
conclusions
– The experimental group receives treatment
– The control group does not receive treatment
• Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) — similar
to experimental studies
– Participants are randomly assigned to either a study
group or a control group
– RCTs are considered the “gold standard” of research
design

Drinking just one 12-ounce soda a day may increase the risk of
Type 2 diabetes, a new study from Europe suggests.
In the study, people who drank a 12-ounce sugar-sweetened
soda daily were 18 percent more likely to develop Type 2
diabetes over a 16-year period compared with those who did
not consume soda. And people who drank two sodas daily were
18 percent more likely to have a stroke than those who drank
one; those who drank three sodas daily saw the same risk
increase compared with those who drank two, and so on.

The results held even after the researchers took into account
risk factors for Type 2 diabetes such as age and physical
activity levels, body mass index (BMI) and the total daily
calorie intake.
The findings agree with earlier studies in the United States,
which found daily soda consumption increased the risk of Type
2 diabetes by 25 percent.
However, the study found only an association, and cannot
prove soda consumption causes Type 2 diabetes. It's possible
other factors not accounted for by the study influenced the
disease risk. In addition, participants answered questions
about their diet just once at the study's start, and it's possible
they changed their diets over time, the researchers said.

The researchers analyzed information from about 12,000
people who developed Type 2 diabetes between 1991 and 2007,
and a randomly selected group of about 15,000 people, most of
whom did not develop diabetes. All participants were taking
part in a larger study looking into the interaction between diet,
environmental factors and the risk of cancer and chronic
diseases conducted in eight European countries.
People who drank one or more glasses of sugar-sweetened
soda a day were about 30 percent more likely to develop Type
2 diabetes than those who drank less than one glass a month.
Because the link between sugar-sweetened soda and Type 2
diabetes was independent of BMI (an indicator of obesity
level) and calorie intake, this finding suggests that other
factors, such as the spike in blood sugar people experience
when they drink soda, may play a role in the risk, the
researchers said.

This document discusses the importance of health behaviors and promotion. It notes that lifestyle factors contribute to a significant portion of leading causes of death and that promoting healthy behaviors can increase longevity. It provides examples of both positive health habits like getting enough sleep and negative habits to avoid like smoking. The document also outlines types of health promotion approaches, including primary prevention of poor habits and interventions with at-risk groups or children to help shape healthy behaviors. Barriers to effective health promotion are discussed, such as a lack of focus on health within medicine and individual barriers like learned behaviors from parents or unrealistic optimism.
This document discusses various aspects of health, including physical, mental/emotional, and social well-being. It defines health as the combination of these dimensions and notes that achieving optimal health is an ongoing process. The document outlines lifestyle factors that influence health, such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, and abstaining from risky behaviors. It emphasizes taking responsibility for one's health through making informed choices and developing skills like decision making, goal setting, communication, and stress management.
The document discusses how diet and nutrition can impact mental health. It notes that more research is finding that a nutritious diet benefits not just physical health but also mental health. Experts are increasingly looking at "nutritional psychiatry" and how clinicians can help patients improve their mental health through diet. Specifically, a healthy diet is protective against depression and anxiety while an unhealthy diet increases the risks. The document outlines three ways diet impacts mental health: 1) good nutrition is crucial for brain development, 2) a healthy diet reduces inflammation in the brain, and 3) certain nutrients from food are precursors to neurotransmitters that influence mood.

This document discusses factors that affect wellness. It identifies that present behaviors shape future health and wellness, and that health habits impact daily decisions. It also notes that understanding risk factors is important for managing wellness. Unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise account for half of diseases. Environmental quality, access to healthcare, and heredity also impact wellness. The document recommends promoting wellness by changing behaviors, understanding benefits, and controlling risk factors such as diet, exercise, stress management, and doctor visits.
This document discusses the effects of lifestyle on health. It defines health using both the medical model and positive health models. The medical model views health as a normal state like a well-adjusted machine, while positive health defines it in terms of physical, mental, social and emotional well-being. Lifestyle factors like diet, smoking, drinking and socioeconomic status directly impact health and influence behaviors. The document also presents a scenario of a nurse dealing with alcohol-related emergencies and discusses the health promotion role of practitioners in addressing lifestyle-related issues at the individual and community levels through education, policy changes and collaborating with other agencies.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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

Program for Overcoming Bad Habits and Moving Your Life Positively Forward. New York: Avon Books.
_____ Practice positive, realistic self-talk (see Chapter 3 in your text).
_____ Make changes in your environment that will discourage your target behavior and encourage healthier
choices. Identify cues that trigger your target behavior and develop strategies for avoiding them or
making different choices (complete Wellness Worksheet 4).
_____ Give yourself the rewards you named in your contract (Wellness Worksheet 5) as well as plenty of
self-praise.
_____ Involve the people around you. Find a buddy to work with you on change and/or find a role model
who has already made the change you are working toward and who can provide both inspiration and
practical advice.
Buddy:__________________________________________________________________________
Role model:______________________________________________________________________
_____ Keep a positive attitude about yourself and the change you are attempting. Don’t get discouraged—
the action stage typically lasts for at least several months.
Maintenance
Continue with all the positive strategies you used in the action stage.
_____ Continue to monitor your behavior with a journal.
_____ Continue to manage your environment.
_____ Continue to practice realistic self-talk.
_____ Guard against slips, but don’t let a slip set you back. Be prepared for complications.
_____ Help someone else make the change that you have just made. (Person to help:
_______________________________________________________________________________.)
Termination
If you complete the previous five stages and are no longer tempted to lapse back to your target behavior, you
are in the termination stage. You have a new self-image, positive feelings of self-efficacy, and a healthier
lifestyle.
For more on the stages of change model and many additional practical strategies, see the text Changing for
Good by James Prochaska, John Norcross, and Carlo DiClemente (Avon Books).

Ratings
1 = No anxiety; general feeling of well-being
2 = Mild anxiety; no interference with activity
3 = Moderate anxiety; specific signal(s) of stress present
4 = High anxiety; interference with activity
5 = Very high anxiety and panic reactions; general inability to engage in activity
To identify daily or weekly patterns in your stress level, average your stress rating for each hour and each
day. For example, if your scores for 6:00 A.M. are 3, 3, 4, 3, and 4, with blanks for Saturday and Sunday,
your 6:00 A.M. rating would be 17 ÷ 5, or 3.4 (moderate to high anxiety). Finally, calculate an average weekly
stress score by averaging your daily average stress scores. Your weekly average will give you a sense of your
overall level of stress.
Identifying Sources of Stress
External stressors: List several people, places, or events that caused you a significant amount of discomfort
this week: ________________________________________________________________________________

Scoring
Add up your points. A total score of anywhere from about 250 to 500 or so would be considered a moderate
amount of stress. If you score higher than that, you may face an increased risk of illness; if you score lower
than that, consider yourself fortunate.

INTERNET ACTIVITY
The Internet can be a valuable resource for building up your social support network. Think about your
hobbies and areas of interest. With the Internet, you can get in touch with organizations and people
who share your interests. For example, from Yahoo!’s recreation and sports listings (http://dir.yahoo.
com/recreation/sports), snowboarders can learn about equipment and technique as well as venues and
events. If you are interested in human rights, Amnesty International’s home page (http://www.amnesty.org)
can put you in touch with a local chapter of the organization. Whatever your interests, odds are that you
can find applicable Web pages, bulletin boards, chat rooms, and other Internet resources.
Choose a topic, and use a search engine to locate online resources. Describe what you find: What sites are
available? What sorts of information can you obtain? Are there opportunities for you to interact online
with people who share your area of interest? Did you find any organizations or groups operating in your
area?
