Terry Howard, "Process to Resilience"
The document summarizes research on the journey of gay men experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) to self-realization and resilience. It describes 4 core themes identified: [1] recurring negativity from childhood experiences and abusive relationships; [2] realizing a way out by evaluating their situation, partners, societal norms and themselves; [3] bouncing back by leaving the situation and changing their views of partners, society and themselves; and [4] proceeding with caution by describing their future selves with increased awareness, caution and ability to help others. The research highlights both internal factors like forgiveness and external supports like counseling that help cultivate resilience. It recommends dedicated support groups, counseling and shelters for battered men.

The document discusses the C.A.L.L. Out! initiative, which aims to increase leadership capacity and community connection for LGBTQ2S youth in BC. It does this through strengths-based wellness programs, including a photovoice project where youth share photos representing their experiences, and leadership skills workshops covering topics like communication and community action. The initiative works with over 25 youth groups across the province to engage LGBTQ2S youth in meaningful activities.
Barry Adam, "The biomedical and the social in HIV prevention"
The document discusses different approaches to HIV prevention, including biomedical and social approaches. It notes that biomedical approaches have focused on technologies like vaccines, circumcision, and treatment as prevention, but these have had limited effectiveness. In contrast, social approaches like community mobilization have led to the most impactful prevention strategy of increased condom use. It argues we need prevention strategies that address the social organization and networks driving the epidemic.

This document outlines the work of the Community Based Research Centre For Gay Men's Health over several years, focusing on determinants of health for gay men. It discusses topics like minority stress, social exclusion in data, and the impact of discrimination on health outcomes. New terms related to life course perspectives on health are introduced, like life span, life cohort, and longitudinal. Generational differences in attitudes toward health, activism, and trauma are also examined. The summit discussion focuses on how location and migration impact life course and gay health.

This study examined the prevalence and impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) among gay and bisexual men living with HIV. The researchers found that 22.4% of men reported experiencing IPV, most commonly emotional and physical abuse. Experiencing IPV was associated with factors like being Aboriginal, childhood abuse, mental health issues, risky sexual behaviors, poorer quality of life, interruptions in HIV care, and higher rates of AIDS progression and HIV-related hospitalizations. The results suggest IPV is an important but underrecognized issue that can negatively impact the health and well-being of HIV-positive gay and bisexual men.

This document outlines a study on gay men's experiences receiving an acute or recent HIV diagnosis. The study recruited 25 men diagnosed through enhanced testing technology in Vancouver. It found that receiving diagnoses over the phone or experiencing initial uncertainty was challenging. For those diagnosed during acute infection, there was confusion about the meaning and increased infectiousness of this stage. While most saw themselves the same as other HIV+ men, some reduced sexual activity during acute infection due to higher viral loads. The study highlights the importance of considering the social aspects of new diagnostic technologies and ensuring sensitive communication of results.

Strong in Spite of Stigma*: Protective Factors, Resilience and Mental Health ...
This document discusses protective factors that promote resilience and positive mental health among gay and bisexual teens in British Columbia despite stigma. Data from surveys in 1998, 2003, and 2008 show that while gay and bisexual teens face higher risks, the majority do not experience mental health issues. Protective factors like family and school connectedness, caring relationships, self-esteem and coping skills are shown to reduce risks like suicidal ideation, self-harm, and stress. The document recommends interventions to reduce stigma while promoting these protective factors to foster strength and resilience in gay and bisexual youth.

This document summarizes research on social determinants of health for LGBT populations. It discusses minority stress theory and how experiences of discrimination and social disadvantage can negatively impact health outcomes for gay and bisexual men. The document presents results from a national online survey of over 8,000 Canadian men seeking men, finding higher rates of discrimination, mental health issues, sexually risky behavior and other adverse health outcomes among bisexual men and married/partnered men compared to gay men. The results suggest that addressing discrimination and social inequities could help reduce health disparities within the LGBT community.

This document summarizes research on HIV risk factors among young gay men in New Zealand. The research compared HIV knowledge, attitudes, sexual behaviors and condom use between young gay men (ages 16-29) and older gay men (ages 30+). Key findings include that young gay men had less HIV knowledge, fewer sexual partners, less casual sex, but also less condom use. The research contributes to evidence for targeted HIV prevention programs for young gay men. Future research is needed to better understand differences in HIV risks between age groups and explore protective factors.

This study examined the experiences of 2-spirit Aboriginal people living with HIV/AIDS (APHAs) who participated in Ontario's Positive Spaces, Healthy Places study. The study involved 43 self-identified 2-spirit APHAs who were followed over 24 months. Results found little change over time in major health outcomes like CD4 counts and quality of life. While most participants rated their overall health as stable, the study provides insights into the lives of this under-researched population and could help inform policies and programs to better support their needs.

This document discusses indigenous traditions in North America and Aotearoa (New Zealand) that recognized multiple gender identities and same-sex relationships. It notes that over 150 indigenous nations in North America had traditions recognizing "Two Spirit" people, who embodied both male and female spirits. These traditions challenged colonial views that imposed rigid binary systems. Despite facing violence from colonizers, some nations initially protected Two Spirit people, though later denied these traditions under colonial pressure. The document also discusses traditional Māori acceptance of diverse sexualities, and the contemporary concepts of "takatapui" and efforts to address HIV/AIDS in culturally appropriate, identity-affirming ways for indigenous communities. It calls for decolonizing approaches and indigenous

The document summarizes findings from a study on detecting acute HIV infections among gay men in Vancouver through enhanced testing methods. The study found that introducing pooled NAAT (nucleic acid amplification) testing at clinics significantly increased HIV diagnoses, with over 40% of acute cases being detected that otherwise would have missed by standard testing. Moving forward, options discussed maintaining pooled NAAT testing at select sites or expanding 4th generation screening tests across the province to further reduce missed acute HIV infections among gay men.

1) The document examines structural factors affecting the sexual rights and HIV vulnerability of gay men and other men who have sex with men in Muslim-dominated Malaysia.
2) It applies a socio-ecological model to analyze risk factors at intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, community, and societal levels, such as individual attitudes, relationship dynamics, availability of condoms, community norms, and laws/policies.
3) Risk factors found to vary between ethnic groups, with Malay MSM showing higher rates of infection and unprotected sex than Chinese MSM, potentially linked to differences in culture and media representation.

This document discusses the evolution of measuring sexual identity in epidemiological research. It outlines how measurement tools have changed from dichotomous classifications to scales that allow for more complexity. Specifically, it mentions Kinsey's bipolar scale, Klein's grid that measures 7 dimensions, and Shively & DeCecco's independent scales. It argues that current surveys should separately measure gender, sexual orientation, and behavioral activities. Finally, it lists implications for gay men's health research, including potential issues with representation, accuracy, feasibility, and legal/political impacts of refined data collection.

This document discusses research on factors influencing HIV risk behaviors among gay and bisexual men. It summarizes several key studies that have identified complex psychological and social reasons for unprotected sex, including sexual pleasure and intimacy, ambiguity around risk, and relationships dynamics. While behavioral interventions have had limited effectiveness, HIV diagnosis rates among men who have sex with men have declined in several Western countries since peaking in the 1990s or early 2000s. However, standalone behavioral interventions are not sufficient to significantly reduce HIV transmission.

According to the document:
1) In 2011, it was estimated that approximately 21 gay and bisexual men in BC died from HIV disease, and around 18 died from suicide.
2) The estimates of suicide among gay and bisexual men are highly sensitive to assumptions about relative risk and the proportion of males that are gay or bisexual. The estimates could range from 6 to 34 suicides per year.
3) Historically, HIV-related deaths have been higher among gay and bisexual men, but suicide rates may surpass HIV if HIV treatment trends continue successfully. Further study is needed to better understand suicide among gay and bisexual adult men.

Social support groups continue to provide important benefits. They offer information sharing, social connection, exposure to diverse perspectives, and positively impact health. Groups allow participants to feel heard, develop confidence, and access experts. They empower marginalized people and facilitate community involvement. However, certain demographics may feel excluded from groups due to barriers around accessibility, stigma, and lack of representation. Intentional efforts are needed to make groups inclusive of diversity in terms of identities, abilities, and viewpoints. Sustainability relies on participant involvement, facilitator support, and responsiveness to changing needs.

This document summarizes a qualitative study exploring the socio-cultural context of substance use among gay communities in Vancouver, BC. Through interviews with 20 gay and queer men, 3 key themes emerged: 1) Substance use is a social activity that takes place in gay social spaces. 2) The use of drugs and alcohol facilitates social and sexual inclusion in these communities. 3) Participants reported that substance use patterns change over one's lifetime as gay men, with more use occurring during the period of "coming out." The study suggests substance use serves important social and coping functions, but may also influence HIV risk, and interventions should consider how these roles change throughout life.
Day 2 0900 - robert ablenas
This document discusses social support and its importance for the healthy aging of gay men who are baby boomers and generation X. It notes that social support can reduce stress, improve psychological well-being and slow disease progression for those living with HIV. Strong social support is also linked to better cognitive functioning, lower risk of health issues like strokes and cancers, and higher survival rates. However, aging gay men may face challenges maintaining social support networks as they age. The document calls for further research and strategies to promote successful aging for this demographic through strengthening social support and meeting their evolving needs.
Day 2 1500 - chris atchison
This document summarizes research on the experiences of gay and bisexual men who pay for sexual services in Canada. It finds that they have specific health, safety, legal and identity needs not addressed in other studies. Gay and bisexual men reported using the sex industry for physical intimacy, sexual exploration and coping with declining desirability. However, many did not understand prostitution laws or trust the legal system. More research is needed to understand their perspectives over the life course and involve their voices in policy discussions.

This document summarizes and discusses three studies related to assessing the roles of place and mobility in gay men's health across the life course.
The first study examined how migration decisions and mental/emotional health are linked for gay men in the United States and Canada. The second study looked at how rurality can impact HIV risk and prevention for gay men in Nova Scotia. The third study analyzed service providers' perspectives on the impacts of migration on sexual health for gay, bisexual and queer newcomer men in Ontario. Overall, the document discusses how place and mobility shape key aspects of gay men's lives and health over their life courses.
Day 2 1100 - phillip hammack
This document discusses gay men's health from a life course perspective. It summarizes current health issues facing gay men such as high rates of HIV, depression, and suicide attempts. It then outlines 3 principles of viewing health through a life course lens: historical time and place, linked lives, and human agency. Next, it describes 5 generations of gay men defined by the historical periods they came of age in and the health issues that impacted each group. The document concludes by discussing implications for research, practice, and advocacy including considering different generational perspectives and voices.

1045 1 what new sero-converters in toronto are saying
This document summarizes interviews with 43 newly diagnosed HIV-positive men in Toronto. Many reported experiences with childhood abuse, depression, polydrug use, and partner violence, supporting the "syndemics hypothesis" that these psychosocial problems interact to worsen the HIV epidemic. However, some men acquired HIV through relationships, travel, or other means outside this framework. The researchers aim to understand resilience as well as risks, and how to build healthier communities through addressing trauma, promoting well-being, and fostering social connections rather than pathologizing groups. The study was conducted by researchers from various universities and health organizations, funded by CIHR.
115 1 beyond behaviours minority stress
The document discusses syndemics, which are closely intertwined health problems that mutually reinforce each other within social contexts. Examples include the SAVA syndemic of substance abuse, violence, and AIDS. Research found that psychological problems like depression, childhood abuse, and partner violence increased risks of unprotected sex and HIV infection among gay men. Minority stress models show how homophobia leads to poor health outcomes by increasing psychological stress. Potential solutions discussed include increasing LGBTQ health access, anti-homophobia education and legislation, and community programs.

The document summarizes a study on the experiences of gay men who were victims of homophobic attacks (gay bashing). Seven men were interviewed about experiences with physical violence, verbal harassment, or both. Four men experienced physical assaults severe enough to require hospitalization. Themes that emerged from the interviews included personal experiences with homophobia, identity changes after an attack, isolation, and feelings of powerlessness. Recommendations focused on improving supports for victims, increasing LGBTQ education for social workers, medical professionals, police, and educators, and fostering more inclusive communities.

The study found that contrary to expectations, IH levels declined with age rather than increased. Community involvement mediated about 50% of the relationship between lower IH and older age. While IH remains problematic even at low levels, these findings suggest resilience against minority stress with age. However, young men remain at highest risk, and not all experience declining IH over time. Future research should examine IH in older cohorts, other countries and ethnicities, as well as potential mediators through qualitative longitudinal studies.

1. Jamaica has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates among men who have sex with men (MSM) in the world, estimated at 32%. However, stigma, discrimination, violence and homophobia prevent MSM from accessing HIV prevention and care.
2. The PK communication initiative aims to strengthen advocacy capacities of MSM and amplify their voices to trigger change, raise awareness, and promote tolerance. It will collect oral testimonies from MSM to communicate their health concerns and experiences to policymakers and the public.
3. Collecting oral testimonies directly from MSM will provide firsthand accounts of the issues they face and encourage dialogue, while

Indigenous literature and health are closely intertwined according to Dr. Daniel Heath Justice from UBC's First Nations Studies department. Oral traditions, storytelling, and contemporary Indigenous fiction can help address health issues facing Indigenous communities by cultivating cultural continuity and community well-being. Literature provides a medium for holistic healing by sharing knowledge, building understanding, and fostering pride in Indigenous identities and histories.

This document discusses the impacts of colonization and the Indian Residential School system on the mental health of Indigenous peoples in Canada. It describes the high rates of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse that occurred in the schools. The trauma of the residential school system has been passed down intergenerationally and has led to increased rates of suicide, addiction, and other mental health issues. Acts of lateral violence and continued colonization have further damaged mental health and prevented communities from resolving trauma. Reconciliation efforts are needed to address the ongoing impacts of the residential school system.

The survey analyzed the relationship between mental health outcomes and relationship status in over 8,000 gay and bisexual men. It found that single men reported higher rates of suicidal thoughts, loneliness, sadness, depression, and suicide attempts compared to partnered men. Partnered men had slightly higher rates of these mental health issues than men partnered with women. The results suggest that being in a relationship is associated with better mental health outcomes for gay and bisexual men.

This document summarizes a literature review on resilience in the gay men's health literature. It finds that most studies use vague, non-specific definitions of resilience that focus on adapting to adversity and achieving positive outcomes. There are concerns that these definitions depoliticize gay men's needs and experiences of oppression. The review calls for moving beyond these narrow definitions to recognize intersectionality and diversity within gay communities.

Pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes
This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
