Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System01:26

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is limited...
Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
Population Growth00:57

Population Growth

Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.However, realistic environmental conditions limit the number of...
Meiosis vs. Mitosis02:57

Meiosis vs. Mitosis

Cell division is necessary for growth and reproduction in organisms. Mitosis aids cell growth and development by dividing somatic cells. In contrast, meiosis causes the division of germ cells and plays an essential role in sexual reproduction. Due to their unique functional requirements, mitosis and meiosis differ from each other in multiple aspects.
Before the start of mitosis and meiosis I, the cell synthesizes DNA, resulting in two homologous copies of each chromosome. DNA synthesis is...
Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Obstetrics
    • Global Health

    Background:

    • Maternal mortality is a critical, yet often neglected, issue in developing countries, with rates 50-100 times higher than in developed nations.
    • Direct obstetric causes include hemorrhage, sepsis, unsafe abortions, obstructed labor, uterine rupture, and pregnancy-induced hypertension.
    • The World Health Organization's Safe Motherhood Initiative (1987) and the 'Health for All by the Year 2000' goal highlight the global focus on this problem.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the high rates of maternal mortality in developing countries.
    • To highlight the significance of the Safe Motherhood Initiative.
    • To emphasize the role of traditional birth attendants in improving obstetric care.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of global maternal mortality statistics.
    • Analysis of major direct obstetric causes of maternal death.
    • Evaluation of strategies for improving maternal healthcare, including the training of traditional birth attendants.

    Main Results:

    • Maternal death rates range from 300-700/100,000 live births in developing countries.
    • Traditional birth attendants assist in 40-60% of births in these regions.
    • Training traditional birth attendants is identified as a crucial intervention for enhancing obstetric care in rural areas.

    Conclusions:

    • Reducing maternal mortality requires focused global and national initiatives.
    • Empowering and training traditional birth attendants is essential for improving maternal health outcomes in underserved communities.
    • Integrated strategies are necessary to achieve safe motherhood and reduce preventable maternal deaths.
