Preventive Healthcare Services

2.2K
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:

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

8.2K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics

5.0K
The second law of thermodynamics can be stated in several different ways, and all of them can be shown to imply the others. The Clausius’ statement of the second law of thermodynamics is based on the irreversibility of spontaneous heat flow. It states that heat will not flow from the colder body to the hotter body unless some other process is involved. Additionally, as per the Kelvin’s statement, it is impossible to convert the heat from a single source into work without any other...

Primary Healthcare Services

2.2K
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

72.4K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Electromotive Force02:36

Electromotive Force

30.3K
Electricity is generated by either electrons or ions flowing through a solution or a conducting medium. This flow of electrons or specifically electrical charge is defined as an electric current. When electrons move through a wire, they generate an electric current. It can be recalled  that in a redox reaction, electrons are lost and gained. In the spontaneous redox reaction of zinc  with copper, when zinc is immersed in a copper ion solution, a transfer of electrons from one substance to...

Summary

Ovarian cancer screening does not reduce mortality and carries significant harms, including unnecessary surgeries. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Clinical Guidelines

Background:

  • Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in US women, particularly those 45 and older.
  • The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) previously issued recommendations on ovarian cancer screening in 2012.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the 2012 USPSTF recommendation on screening for ovarian cancer.
  • To evaluate the benefits and harms of ovarian cancer screening in asymptomatic women not at high risk.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of evidence on ovarian cancer screening benefits and harms.
  • Focused on outcomes including mortality, quality of life, false positives, surgical complications, and psychological effects.

Main Results:

  • Adequate evidence shows screening for ovarian cancer does not reduce mortality.
  • Harms of screening are at least moderate, potentially substantial, including unnecessary surgeries for false positives.

Conclusions:

  • The harms of ovarian cancer screening outweigh the benefits.
  • USPSTF recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women without hereditary risk factors.
