Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

347
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...

Cancer Prevention

6.1K
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.

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:

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities I

715
In healthcare, informed consent is a crucial process that involves thoroughly communicating medical treatment options to patients, including benefits, risks, potential side effects, and alternatives. This process enables patients to make well-informed decisions about their care, ensuring they understand the implications of their choices before consenting to or refusing treatment.
The legal responsibilities of a nurse regarding informed consent include the following:

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures01:22

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.6K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

12.6K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Gynecology
  • Health Disparities

Background:

  • Cervical cancer rates are disproportionately high (4-5x) among women with criminal legal system involvement.
  • This disparity in cervical cancer incidence has persisted for decades, highlighting a critical public health issue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the intersection of mass incarceration and cervical cancer risk factors in the U.S.
  • To propose equitable strategies for cervical cancer prevention and treatment for this vulnerable population.

Main Methods:

  • Convened a panel of experts from the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology.
  • Developed 12 recommendations covering vaccination, screening, treatment, practice, research, and policy.

Main Results:

  • At least 10% of the incarcerated population is at risk for cervical cancer.
  • Clinicians frequently encounter patients with incarceration histories, underscoring the need for targeted interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians are vital in eliminating cervical cancer disparities for vulnerable populations.
  • Expert recommendations provide a roadmap for preventive care and treatment for individuals with criminal legal system involvement.
