This document discusses research on tuberculosis (TB) from both social and biological perspectives. TB is the second leading infectious killer globally. The researchers examine social factors influencing TB rates between countries, such as poverty, debt, education and access to healthcare. They also study mycobacteriophages to develop new TB diagnostics and treatments. Preliminary findings suggest some novel phage genes are required for infecting mycobacteria. The researchers emphasize the need for interdisciplinary social and medical approaches to fully address TB as both a biological and social disease.

The document discusses the HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis epidemics globally and at the US-Mexico border region. It notes that HIV infects over 34 million people worldwide each year, while tuberculosis infects over 9 million and kills over 2 million. Both diseases disproportionately impact developing regions and vulnerable groups. Co-infection is common given their effects on the immune system. Prevention of HIV is key to controlling tuberculosis. Collaboration is needed to address the mobile population and binational nature of the epidemics at the US-Mexico border.Gender Issues in Human, Animal and Plant Health Using a Broad One Health Pers...

Epidemiology is the study of disease, injury, and death in populations. It involves collecting information about who is sick, when they became sick, where they live, and using this data to prevent disease outbreaks. Rates such as incidence, prevalence, and attack rates allow comparisons of outbreaks over time and between places. Sources of standardized health data include vital statistics, national health surveys, and epidemiological studies which can be descriptive to describe epidemics or analytic to test hypotheses.Aharona glatman freedman social determinants sept 4-5 2013 -

1) Non-biological factors like social, economic, and political determinants significantly impact the success of immunization programs. These include factors like parental education, access to healthcare, gender inequity, and governance.
2) When a new vaccine for tuberculosis becomes available, factors like public acceptance, financing, and sustainability will determine its adoption in immunization programs.
3) A study on factors influencing the introduction of new vaccines in African countries supported by GAVI found that better governance indicators, like political stability and control of corruption, were a stronger predictor of adoption than financial healthcare indicators. Addressing social and behavioral determinants is important for effective vaccine introduction and implementation.A critical social analysis of poverty and zoonotic disease risk

This study evaluated the direct and indirect protective effects of malaria interventions ITNs and IRS using data from 7 countries in Africa. A crude analysis found that ITN use significantly decreased odds of malaria in 2 countries and increased odds in 2 others, while IRS use significantly decreased odds in 1 country and increased odds in another. An adjusted analysis found no indirect protection for non-ITN users as coverage increased, but indirect protection was offered to ITN users as coverage increased in their neighborhood. IRS use did not provide individual or community-level protection against malaria. The contradictory findings highlight a need for further research on mechanisms driving these observed patterns.01 Monica Do Santos Healing The Dragon Sahara

This document discusses interventions for heroin use disorders and reducing HIV transmission. It summarizes findings from previous studies that found many intravenous drug users in Africa do not properly clean or dispose of needles, increasing HIV risk. The objectives are to compare views of long-term former heroin users and specialists on effective interventions and identify suggestions to advance programs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 former users and 10 specialists. Preliminary findings from the first study on former users are presented.Social and behavioral determinants lit review

This document provides a summary of a literature review on social and behavioral determinants of adult vaccination. The review identified 71 relevant publications, with 25 focusing on social determinants and 14 on behavioral determinants. For social determinants, key findings included barriers to adult vaccination like lack of access and programs, as well as racial/ethnic divides in vaccination rates. Models like the Diderichsen Framework and theories of intermediary determinants were also discussed. For behavioral determinants, the Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behavior were strong predictors of vaccination behavior based on factors like perceived benefits, barriers, and social norms. A gap identified was the lack of research on determinants in low- and middle-income countries.REvised Infectious diseae paper

Infectious diseases pose a major risk to public health in Canada. There are several contributing factors, including rising antimicrobial resistance due to overprescription of antibiotics, increased risk of vector-borne and waterborne diseases due to climate change, and higher rates of sexually transmitted and healthcare-associated infections. Better surveillance systems, public health initiatives, and prevention programs are needed to address this growing threat.Angeline nanni

This document outlines the agenda and goals of an expert workshop on planning for adolescent and adult vaccination in middle and low income countries. The aims of the workshop are to identify current knowledge about adolescent and adult vaccination schedules, coverage rates, and barriers; determine what is known about measuring social and behavioral factors influencing adult vaccination; and identify and prioritize elements of a research agenda to inform vaccine development and effective vaccination strategies. Expected outcomes include developing a prioritized research agenda to address knowledge gaps and identifying key social and behavioral determinants of adult vaccination. The agenda covers topics on adult vaccination determinants, ethical issues, epidemiology of diseases like HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria, and implications of shifting global poverty and urbanization on disease burden and accessMedwiser Presentation

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.Matrix final paper

- The reviewer questions the authors' conclusion that poor health seeking behavior is responsible for many TB deaths, noting there could be other reasons like limited access to healthcare or a lack of understanding of TB's severity.
- Additional context is provided on TB treatment and cure rates in Bukidnon, and challenges in controlling TB with limited health resources.
- A large increase in reported dengue cases in Bukidnon from 2009 to 2010 is questioned. Additional information suggests this follows the typical disease cycle in the region and is influenced by local geography and breeding grounds that coincide with the rainy season.The Future of Global Health

The document discusses the importance of addressing gender equality in Global Fund proposals and responses to HIV, TB, and malaria. It notes that women often have less access to health services and information than men due to social and economic inequalities. It provides examples of how diseases like HIV, malaria, and TB disproportionately impact women. The document advises applicants to involve gender experts and conduct a gender analysis to ensure their proposals address the specific needs of women, men, girls and boys. It also recommends integrating gender-sensitive and transformative interventions that promote human rights and reduce health inequalities.D.ompad

Urbanization is increasing globally, with more people living in urban areas. This presents challenges for distributing adult vaccines. The document reviews different strategies used in various settings to increase adult vaccination rates. Hospital/clinic-based interventions like standing orders and reminders showed success. Community-based programs distributing vaccines in non-traditional settings also increased rates. While many focused on the elderly, few targeted high-risk adults or children. A limitation is reaching those not engaged in healthcare.Impact application project

This document outlines an intervention strategy to address the high prevalence of HIV in young men who have sex with men (MSM) in Alexandria, Virginia. The strategy involves conducting bi-monthly support group sessions over 10 months led by a part-time facilitator. The goals are to increase knowledge of HIV/STD prevention, decrease risky behaviors like unprotected sex and binge drinking, and ultimately lower new HIV cases in the target population by 5% within a year. Participants will be recruited through various community locations and incentives will be provided to encourage attendance. The intervention is evidence-based and aims to move participants through stages of behavior change. Objectives, activities, evaluations and a budget are included in the plan.Agricultural intensification and Nipah virus emergence

Social media can be leveraged as a promising approach for food safety education by increasing dissemination and reaching diverse audiences. It facilitates interactive communication and empowers people to make healthier decisions. Government organizations like the CDC use social media to target different groups - scientists, underserved audiences, and kids/families - to spread food safety messages. Participatory approaches on social media like ratings, reviews and games can make education more engaging.Nursing 7001 vulnerable populations presentation

The presentation identifies vulnerable populations in rural areas and their health disparities. Rural areas are defined as having low population density and distance from urban centers with few economic activities. Approximately 19% of Americans live in rural areas and are more likely to be uninsured compared to urban residents. Rural residents experience higher rates of chronic diseases, injuries, cancer deaths and less access to preventive healthcare services. The presentation proposes a plan to address mammography compliance among uninsured rural women using a mobile mammography unit on a quarterly basis. Key elements of the plan include qualifying patients, an interdisciplinary team and addressing challenges of cost, participation and evaluating effectiveness.The burden of disease in northeast Kenya

The document discusses the need for communication strategists to effectively plan integrated marketing communications in today's complex media landscape. It defines the role of a communication strategist as finding consumer insights to identify the best communication vehicles to make messages relevant, memorable and effective. There are five challenges for communication strategists: considering many more variables than account planners; navigating qualitative and quantitative data; overcoming territorialism between specialties; lack of training in integrated thinking; and agencies' focus on execution over strategic thinking. An example shows how strategic thinking led to changing targeting and media for a TV show launch.

This document discusses the challenges facing healthcare in developing countries like India. It notes that India has a large and growing population but lacks sufficient healthcare infrastructure and resources. Disease burdens include both infectious diseases and new chronic issues. Poverty limits access to care while lack of education hinders health. Improving health will require prioritizing sanitation, nutrition, education, and access to preventive healthcare. Vaccination coverage and rational drug use also need strengthening. Cost-effective interventions around public health programs could help address the major health issues facing developing nations. Stakeholder involvement and viewing health as an investment are important for building sustainable healthcare systems.ScanScan 1Sc.docx

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness in general and Alzheimers disease in particular are the leading causes of death and disability globally. Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases.
Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.ScanScan 1Sc.docx

1) Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases are the leading causes of death globally. NCDs disproportionately affect low and middle income countries.
2) Globalization has contributed to the rise of NCDs by spreading Western lifestyles and diets high in processed foods, sugar and fat. This includes the marketing of tobacco, alcohol and fast foods.
3) The major risk factors for NCDs are tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, harmful alcohol use and air pollution. Addressing these lifestyle and environmental factors is key to reducing NCD prevalence around the world.Imunizare in infectii

The document discusses immunization and infectious diseases. The main goals are to increase immunization rates and reduce preventable infectious diseases. Immunization works by stimulating the body's natural defenses to recognize and attack specific bacteria or viruses. This helps prevent disease or reduce severity if exposed. While vaccines have reduced many diseases, some remain issues and new threats may emerge. Maintaining surveillance and immunization programs is important for protecting public health.10091.ppt

This document discusses the challenges facing health care in developing countries like India. It notes that India has a large population that is growing, placing a burden on its health care system. Diseases continue to be a major problem, with both infectious and chronic diseases prevalent. Access to health care is poor for much of the population due to economic deprivation and low education levels. Improving health indicators will require greater investment in health care as well as education. Cost-effective prevention strategies around vaccination, sanitation, and disease control programs need stronger implementation.10091.ppt

This document summarizes some of the key challenges facing health care in developing countries like India. It notes that India has a large and growing population, placing strain on its health system, and faces a "twin epidemic" of infectious and chronic diseases. Economic deprivation and poor education reduce access to and utilization of limited health services. Government spending on health remains low. This leads to a high burden of disease, maternal and child deaths, and low human development indicators. Expanding access to primary care, public health interventions like immunization and sanitation, and health promotion are identified as priorities to address these challenges.

1) E-health provides opportunities to address challenges from changing demographics like chronic disease management and multiple morbidities, but faces challenges from incongruent policies, one-size-fits-all technologies, and treatment burden.
2) Rapidly developing technologies and increasing technology use provide opportunities if developed with user perspectives, but a biomedical focus risks widening inequalities.
3) Successful e-health requires normalizing services, engaging professionals, learning from experiences, and addressing research funding and evidence quality issues.Yes!? We can end TB - World Tuberculosis Day 2024.

Mageeney1 Dr. Kelly Austin2 and Dr. Vassie Ware1 1: Department of Biological Sciences, 2: Department of Sociology & Anthropology/Global Studies Program Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA 18015 Why Study Tuberculosis? Tuberculosis (TB) is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer due to a single infectious agent. In 2011, 8.7 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died from TB. In 2010, there were about 10 million orphan children as a result of TB deaths among parents. Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low- and middle- income countries. Questions of Interest What social, economic, and environmental factors cause some nations to have higher levels of TB than others? Why are the structural barriers to reducing TB rates in developing nations? Can mycobacteriophages be used to develop novel diagnostics and new treatment strategies for tuberculosis? Can mycobacteriophage genomes be genetically manipulated to affect Mycobacterial infection? Are the functions of novel genes required for infection? Could those gene products be useful in the development of novel therapies to eradicate the disease? Future Research Directions ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: HHMI, Lehigh University Mountaintop Summer Pilot Project, and Lehighs Department of Biological Sciences for financial support; HHMI SEA Staff for infrastructure assistance; Bekah Dedrick in the Hatfull Lab, Kevin Bradley, and Lu Barker for assistance with BRED protocols; The Hatfull lab including Welkin Pope for QCing the Butters genome; Maria Brace for SEA Program support; Lee Graham for laboratory support and EM imaging, Mark Noble Understand motivations behind health care decisions in poor nations. Examine the causes of health care privatization in developing nations. Understand the role of health NGOs in addressing TB in poor nations. Continued genomic analysis through plaque screening to determine if each novel gene is necessary for infection. Use of mutant Butters phage for BRED to determine if multiple deletions produce infectious particles or if phage genome packaging is sufficient for infectivity. Biotechnology Conclusions Social Service Conclusions Importance of Cross- Disciplinary Research Bio-medical and social approaches are necessary to fully address this disease. The development of effective medical interventions is important, but these are only successful if people can access and utilize the treatment properly and effectively, which depends on other factors, like provisions for health services and education. Co-infection with HIV, economic poverty, a lack of education, and high levels of foreign debt lead to higher rates of TB across nations. Additionally, public health care services reduce TB rates, while private health care services have no significant impact on national TB rates. Mycobacteriophages can be manipulated genetically to alter their ability to infect Mycobacteria. Preliminary data suggest that several novel gene products, in this study, are required for stable infection of bacteria in the Mycobacterium genus. Social science students worked in the lab with biology students; and biology students also learned about TB as a social disease.
