This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much progress has been made on achieving the Millenium Development Goals over the last decade, the number and complexity of global health challenges has persisted. Growing forces for globalization have increased the interconnectedness of the world and our interdependency on other countries, economies, and cultures. Monumental growth in international travel and trade have brought improved access to goods and services for many, but also carry ongoing and ever-present threats of zoonotic spillover and infectious disease outbreaks that threaten all. Global Health and the Future Role of the United States identifies global health priorities in light of current and emerging world threats. This report assesses the current global health landscape and how challenges, actions, and players have evolved over the last decade across a wide range of issues, and provides recommendations on how to increase responsiveness, coordination, and efficiency â€" both within the U.S. government and across the global health field.

Download or read book Guidelines for the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2011 update of Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant tuberculosis is intended as a tool for use by public health professionals working in response to the Sixty-second World Health Assembly's resolution on prevention and control of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. Resolution WHA62.15, adopted in 2009, calls on Member States to develop a comprehensive framework for the management and care of patients with drug-resistant TB. The recommendations contained in these guidelines address the most topical questions concerning the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB: case-finding, multidrug resistance, treatment regimens, monitoring the response to treatment, and selecting models of care. The guidelines primarily target staff and medical practitioners working in TB treatment and control, and partners and organizations providing technical and financial support for care of drug-resistant TB in settings where resources are limited.

This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that one third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB)), and that each year, about 9 million people develop TB, of whom about 2 million die. Of the 9 million annual TB cases, about 1 million (11%) occur in children (under 15 years of age). Of these childhood cases, 75% occur annually in 22 high-burden countries that together account for 80% of the world's estimated incident cases. In countries worldwide, the reported percentage of all TB cases occurring in children varies from 3% to more than 25%. The Stop TB Strategy, which builds on the DOTS strategy developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease, has a critical role in reducing the worldwide burden of disease and thus in protecting children from infection and disease. The management of children with TB should be in line with the Stop TB Strategy, taking into consideration the particular epidemiology and clinical presentation of TB in children. These consensus guidelines were produced to help the National Tuberculosis Programmes on the management of tuberculosis in children.

Download or read book HIV, Resurgent Infections and Population Change in Africa written by Michel Caraël and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-10-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forty years ago, the age-old battle against infectious diseases as a major threat to human health was believed close to being won. However, by the late twentieth century, the increase of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases was evident in both low and high income countries. About 30 new infectious diseases have been identified in the last 20 years. Among the "new" diseases, and most importantly, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) epidemic, with 40 million persons infected and 25 million deaths since its first description, presents one of the most significant health, societal and security challenges facing the global community. The interaction of HIV/AIDS with tuberculosis, malaria and bacterial infections have increased HIV-related morbidity and mortality, and in turn, the HIV pandemic has brought about devastating increases in tuberculosis. Understanding the population impact and the dynamics of infection diseases in the most affected region is critical to efforts to reduce the morbidity and mortality of such infections, and for decisions on where to use limited resources in the fight against infections. This book aims to contribute to these efforts by offering a demographic and epidemiological perspective on emerging and reemerging infections in sub-Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Caring for Equality written by David McBride and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans today continue to suffer disproportionately from heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. In Caring for Equality David McBride chronicles the struggle by African Americans and their white allies to improve poor black health conditions as well as inadequate medical care—caused by slavery, racism, and discrimination—since the arrival of African slaves in America. Black American health progress resulted from the steady influence of what David McBride calls the health equality ideal: the principle that health of black Americans could and should be equal to that of whites and other Americans. Including a timeline, selected primary sources, and an extensive bibliographic essay, McBride’s book provides a superb starting point for students and readers who want to explore in greater depth this important and understudied topic in African American history.

Download or read book Examining Relationships Between HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis Programs in Title I Eligible Metropolitan Areas written by Maria J. Gold and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, TB and HIV are widespread epidemics. The highest prevalence of both diseases remains concentrated in urban centers. While the total number of TB cases reported in the U.S. decreased by 6.4 percent from 1994 to 1995, cases increased among foreign-born persons. Since 1989, TB screening for all people infected with HIV has been the recommended standard of care. The Federal Government combats TB and HIV with direct assistance and financial support to State and local governments. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) administer separate Federal funding streams for HIV and TB respectively. Through HRSA's Title I programs and CDC's Division of TB Elimination programs, more than 230 separate funding agreements exist between the Federal Government and States, territories, and cities. Clearly, coordination and collaboration among HIV/AIDS programs and TB prevention and control programs at the local, State, and Federal levels are essential if there is to be an effective response to the increase in HIV-related TB. Yet, the extent to which these programs are working together to improve, expand, and coordinate services-and thus decrease the occurrence of TB-is largely unknown. HRSA initiated and funded this study to better understand relationships between HIV/ AIDS and TB programs in Title I eligible metropolitan areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AIDS and TB, “the deadly two” are public health concerns that have devastated the global village, with Africa being grossly affected and accounting for more than 70% of the human tragedy. There is no cure for AIDS - there is a cure for TB. Despite this very basic fact, millions of people do not have the knowledge to prevent HIV infections that causes AIDS. In the same vein, more than two million people die every year due to TB alone and half a million due to TB combined with AIDS. This book is about TB, HIV infections and AIDS education (AIDucation). It is about empowering communities to prevent TB and HIV infections. It is about caring for those living with TB, HIV and AIDS. This book is about taking control of TB, which can lead to preventing new TB and HIV infections. This is a true African story.
