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

6.5K
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.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

4.7K
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...

Cancer Vaccines01:30

Cancer Vaccines

1.3K
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...

Summary

New cervical cancer screening guidelines now include patient-collected high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) tests for average-risk women aged 30-65. This update aims to improve early detection of precancerous lesions and reduce screening barriers.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cervical cancer screening is crucial for early detection of precancerous lesions.
  • Previous guidelines focused on cytology-based screening.
  • The Women's Preventive Services Initiative (WPSI) sought to update recommendations based on new evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update cervical cancer screening recommendations for average-risk women.
  • To incorporate evidence on high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and accessibility of patient-collected hrHPV screening.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of new evidence on hrHPV screening.
  • Analysis of studies comparing hrHPV testing with cytology.
  • Evaluation of patient-collected hrHPV sample accuracy versus clinician-collected samples.

Main Results:

  • Primary hrHPV screening increases detection of precancerous lesions compared to cytology.
  • Patient-collected hrHPV testing shows similar accuracy to clinician-collected samples.
  • Patient-collected hrHPV testing may reduce barriers to cervical cancer screening.

Conclusions:

  • WPSI recommends cervical cancer screening for average-risk women aged 21-65.
  • For women 30-65, primary hrHPV testing or co-testing every 5 years is preferred.
  • Patient-collected hrHPV testing is an appropriate screening method for average-risk women aged 30-65.
