Área de la Ciencia:
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
- Economía de la salud Economía de la salud
Sus antecedentes:
- En los últimos 25 años se han visto numerosos avances en la salud pública.
- Muchos desarrollos significativos a menudo se pasan por alto o se subestiman.
- Medir el verdadero impacto de las enfermedades sigue siendo un desafío crítico en la salud global.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Identificar y resaltar un desarrollo de salud pública poco reconocido.
- Introducir el concepto de año de vida ajustado por discapacidad (DALY, por sus siglas en inglés).
- Explorar el potencial revolucionario de los DALY en la evaluación del impacto de las enfermedades.
Principales métodos:
- Se llevó a cabo una revisión exhaustiva de los principales desarrollos en salud pública durante el último cuarto de siglo.
- El concepto DALY fue analizado por su metodología y aplicación.
- Se realizó un análisis comparativo de las métricas tradicionales de carga de enfermedad frente a los DALY.
Principales resultados:
- El concepto del Año de Vida Ajustado por Discapacidad (DALY, por sus siglas en inglés) surgió como una innovación de salud pública significativamente subestimada.
- Los DALY ofrecen una medida más completa de la carga de la enfermedad al incorporar tanto la mortalidad como la morbilidad.
- El potencial de los DALY para transformar las métricas de salud es sustancial.
Conclusiones:
- El concepto DALY representa un avance importante, pero subestimado, en la salud pública.
- La implementación de DALY puede conducir a una comprensión más precisa y holística del impacto de la enfermedad.
- Un mayor reconocimiento y adopción de los DALY es crucial para el progreso de la salud mundial.

01:30Preventive Healthcare Services
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:
01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
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.

01:22Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures
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...

01:25Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
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...

01:24Smallpox
Smallpox is a severe contagious disease caused by the Variola major virus, a double-stranded DNA member of the Poxviridae family.Variola major transmission occurs primarily via inhalation of virus-laden droplets or direct contact with infectious scabs. The incubation period averages approximately seven days, although it may range from 7 to 17 days depending on the inoculum and host factors.Clinically, the prodromal phase is marked by an abrupt onset of high fever, malaise, headache, and myalgia.
