Dimensions of Health and Illness01:21

Dimensions of Health and Illness

7.6K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.3K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Gene-Environment Interactions01:20

Gene-Environment Interactions

390
Gene expression is a dynamic process that is significantly influenced by environmental factors. This interaction underlies the complex nature of biological development and the phenotypic differences observed among individuals, even among those with identical genetic makeups. Factors such as radiation, temperature, behavior, nutrition, and stress play pivotal roles in determining how genes are expressed. The concept of the reaction range is central to understanding this interaction. It posits...

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

4.1K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Global Regulatory Systems01:28

Global Regulatory Systems

Global regulatory systems in bacteria enable rapid and coordinated responses to environmental changes by integrating sensory inputs with gene expression, ensuring efficient adaptation to fluctuating conditions. Key global regulatory mechanisms include regulons, two-component systems, sigma factors, and secondary messengers.Regulons and Global RegulatorsA regulon is a collection of genes and operons controlled by a common global regulator. These regulators enable bacteria to prioritize resource...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health Sciences
  • Data Science
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Harmonized language is critical for managing complex environmental health sciences (EHS) data.
  • Barriers hinder the widespread adoption of standardized language approaches in EHS research.
  • Lack of interoperability impedes data sharing and reuse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the Environmental Health Language Collaborative (EHLC) to advance harmonized language in EHS.
  • To create a community-driven forum for identifying and addressing language harmonization gaps.
  • To promote the development and use of EHS data standards and tools.

Main Methods:

  • The Environmental Health Language Collaborative (EHLC) was established by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and partners.
  • An inaugural workshop focused on sustainable language solutions and community building.
  • Attendee surveys were used to gauge the value of harmonized language and commitment to future efforts.

Main Results:

  • 91% of workshop attendees found harmonized language solutions highly valuable.
  • 60% of attendees expressed willingness to continue contributing to EHLC.
  • Future activities will include use-case working groups, education on ontologies and metadata, and a resource portal.

Conclusions:

  • The EHLC is a vital initiative for overcoming barriers to harmonized language in EHS.
  • Community engagement and targeted working groups are key to sustainable solutions.
  • Developing educational resources and a central portal will further support EHS data harmonization.
