The document discusses community health and provides definitions of key related terms. It explains that community health focuses on populations and geographical areas, examining health characteristics using tools like GIS. Maintaining a healthy community requires assessing needs through methods like community diagnosis, evaluating nutrition through anthropometric and dietary assessments, and implementing programs through a community health improvement process. While challenging, taking a comprehensive approach addressing various social and environmental factors can help communities work towards improved health.behaviour change communication as taught in PSM.pptx

Health promotion involves enabling people to increase control over their health and involves individual, community, and environmental factors. It is the responsibility of individuals, community groups, health professionals, health services, and governments. Approaches include lifestyle/behavioral changes, preventative medicine, public health programs, and addressing social and environmental determinants of health. The Ottawa Charter provides a framework for health promotion around developing skills, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, reorienting health services, and building healthy public policy.1ST QUARTER_g9health-Community Health Lesson.pptx

Non-Invasive ICP Monitoring for Neurosurgeons
Non-Invasive ICP Monitoring for NeurosurgeonsDhaval Shukla
油
This presentation delves into the latest advancements in non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring techniques, specifically tailored for neurosurgeons. It covers the importance of ICP monitoring in clinical practice, explores various non-invasive methods, and discusses their accuracy, reliability, and clinical applications. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of non-invasive approaches over traditional invasive methods, including reduced risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. This comprehensive overview is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of neurosurgeons in managing patients with neurological conditions.
Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this presentation is to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.
