Preventive Healthcare Services

1.2K
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:

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

13.6K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Coronary Artery Disease IV: Preventive Measures

172
Effective preventive measures for coronary artery disease (CAD) focus on controlling modifiable risk factors, including cholesterol abnormalities and lifestyle changes.Cholesterol ManagementFirst, the Mediterranean diet and the American Heart Association advocate for maintaining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, with a more stringent recommendation of below 70 mg/dL for individuals at high risk. LDL cholesterol, often termed "bad cholesterol," can lead to the...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.9K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

947
Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

544
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

    PubMed
    Summary

    President Biden relaunched the Cancer Moonshot initiative to reduce cancer death rates by 50% in 25 years through screening, early detection, and prevention. The initiative lacks new research funding to achieve its ambitious goals.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Public Health Policy

    Background:

    • The Cancer Moonshot initiative aims to accelerate cancer research and improve patient outcomes.
    • Previous efforts have focused on research, but the relaunched initiative emphasizes prevention and early detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the goals and strategy of the relaunched Cancer Moonshot initiative.
    • To highlight the initiative's focus on screening, early detection, and prevention.

    Main Methods:

    • The initiative's plan relies on existing strategies and infrastructure.
    • No new research funding has been allocated in the current plan.

    Main Results:

    • The initiative sets a goal of a 50% reduction in cancer death rates within 25 years.

  • The strategy prioritizes public health interventions over new research funding.

    • Conclusions:

    • The relaunched Cancer Moonshot initiative prioritizes screening, early detection, and prevention to reduce cancer mortality.
    • Achieving the ambitious goal of a 50% reduction in death rates may be challenged by the absence of new research funding.
