Infection01:20

Infection

7.8K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Introduction to Epidemiology01:26

Introduction to Epidemiology

677
Epidemiology, known as the cornerstone of public health, involves studying the distribution and determinants of health-related events in defined populations and applying these insights to control health issues. This is essential for understanding how diseases spread, identifying populations at greater risk, and implementing measures to control or prevent outbreaks. Epidemiology addresses not only infectious diseases but also non-communicable conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease,...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.0K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

7.2K
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.

Concepts of Health and Illness

14.3K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Steps in Outbreak Investigation01:18

Steps in Outbreak Investigation

114
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Area of Science:

  • Microbiome research
  • Public health education

Background:

  • Gaps exist between microbiome researchers and the public.
  • Current public health messages offer limited mechanistic insights into the microbiome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose public health microbiome curricula to bridge knowledge gaps.
  • To equip public health professionals with tools for public outreach and behavior change.

Main Methods:

  • Development of three curriculum modules focusing on breastfeeding, antibiotics, and diet.
  • Shifting the educational focus from microbes as pathogens to health partners.

Main Results:

  • Curricula provide deeper mechanistic insights into the microbiome's role in health.
  • Empowering public health professionals to educate the public on microbiome's collaborative health roles.

Conclusions:

  • Microbiome curricula can enhance public health messaging.
  • Understanding the microbiome's upstream factors is crucial for public health education.
