Adoption of Integrated Healthcare Information System in Nairobi County: Kenya...Editor IJCATR
Health care information systems are aimed at facilitating the smooth running and interoperability of the health care
delivery processes to ensure efficiency and effectiveness; however, the complexity, heterogeneity and diversity of the health care
sector especially in Kenya poses serious challenges especially in relation to integration of the systems. There is a large disconnect
between the public and private health care delivery systems characterized by fragmentation of services, locally within hospitals
(among primary, secondary and tertiary health care settings) and across different health care centers. This research is aimed at
examining the adoption of integrated healthcare information system in Nairobi County; Kenyatta National Hospital represents the
public sector and The Mater Hospital the private sector. A sample size of 100 users on information system from the two hospitals
picked from the primary secondary and tertiary levels were selected and questionnaires administered to them. Data was analyzed
through descriptive statistics with the aid of SPSS. The results of the study indicated that there was a huge disparity between
healthcare information system adoption in the public and private sectors with the private sector’s adoption being at an advanced
stage. The major barriers to adoption including social political barriers, financial constraints and technical/technological barriers
also presented.
E health in Nigeria Current Realities and Future Perspectives. A User Centric...Ibukun Fowe
In this era of the digital revolution, innovative computer software programs and Information and communications technologies (ICTs) are disrupting different industries of most economies and the healthcare sector is one of the nascent and emerging opportunities for technology disruption and innovation. This is an “inevitable” welcome development as Global health innovation is at the forefront of embracing the use of technology solutions in various parts of the world to improve access to health services and medicines, and Nigeria is not to be an exception. This symposium is focused on asking the fundamental questions; how much impact are e-health applications making in the Nigerian health sector and how do we improve the level of impact and
effectiveness of these applications via a user-centric approach?
Taking these proactive steps serve to ensure that we focus on the real needs of the Nigerian people and put in place quality and safety measures that will give users the confidence needed to use e-health applications and solutions adequately and appropriately. This symposium invites key-stakeholders in the e-health
ecosystem to share their views on the pains and gains of e-health as of today and how to shape the future of e-health in Nigeria (and similar countries). Some of the presentations and panelist sessions will include real field experience and user-centered qualitative research that will elicit the current level of impact and the real needs of e-health users in the southwest region of Nigeria.
The document summarizes a proposed smart e-health care system using IoT and machine learning. It begins with an introduction to how advances in IoT and communication technologies have enabled remote health monitoring systems. It then reviews related literature on stress sensors and IoT solutions applied to healthcare.
The proposed system involves developing an IoT-based health monitoring system using various body sensors. Machine learning algorithms would then be used to predict diseases based on sensor inputs. The system aims to highlight the need for secure IoT systems and propose a solution for data privacy and security. Key aspects of the proposed system design include collecting sensor data, transmitting it via microcontroller and cloud for real-time monitoring, and using machine learning models to check values

AN EHEALTH ADOPTION FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEWhiij
There is growing interest in the rate of eHealth uptake resulting from the increased potential to advance
the quality of healthcare services in both the developed and developing countries. Although the
implementation of information and communication technology to support healthcare delivery would
greatly address the quality and accessibility challenges in healthcare as well as reduction in the cost of
healthcare delivery, the adoption of eHealth has not been fully realized. This study aimed at conducting a
systematic literature review to establish the factors associated with the adoption of eHealth and propose a
context-specific framework for successful adoption of eHealth technologies in developing countries such as
Uganda. The systematic literature review process was guided by the Systematic Review Protocol. The
review of 29 journals from the period 2009-2021 showed that, although the most widely used frameworks
in the developing countries were Technology Adoption Model (TAM), Unified Theory of Acceptance and
Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework and Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework,
there were other salient factors reported by other researchers that contributed to the adoption of eHealth
in developing countries. A novel framework for adoption of eHealth in the local context with eight (8)
dimensions namely; Socio-demographic, Technology, Information, Socio-cultural, Organization,
Governance, Ethical and legal and Financial dimensions is derived and presented as result of the
research.
Cucumber disease recognition using machine learning and transfer learningriyaniaes
Cucumber is grown, as a cash crop besides it is one of the main and popular vegetables in Bangladesh. As Bangladesh's economy is largely dependent on the agricultural sector, cucumber farming could make economic and productivity growth more sustainable. But many diseases diminish the situation of cucumber. Early detection of disease can help to stop disease from spreading to other healthy plants and also accurate identifying the disease will help to reduce crop losses through specific treatments. In this paper, we have presented two approaches namely traditional machine learning (ML) and CNN-based transfer learning. Then we have compared the performance of the applied techniques to find out the most appropriate techniques for recognizing cucumber diseases. In our ML approach, the system involves five steps. After collecting the image, pre-processing is done by resizing, filtering, and contrast-enhancing. Then we have compared various ML algorithms using k-means based image segmentation after extracted 10 relevant features. Random forest gives the best accuracy with 89.93% in the traditional ML approach. We also studied and applied CNN-based transfer learning to investigate the further improvement of recognition performance. Lastly, a comparison among various transfer learning models such as InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, and VGG16 has been performed. Between these two approaches, MobileNetV2 achieves the highest accuracy with 93.23%.
A clinical information system (CIS) is a technology-based system used at the point of care to support processing and storing patient information. It includes electronic health records, clinical data repositories, decision support, and communication tools. Implementing a CIS requires representation from all areas of healthcare to ensure success. Effective CIS can reduce errors, improve guideline-based care, and decrease healthcare utilization through components like clinical decision support systems. However, ensuring data security, accuracy, and privacy is important when using and networking CIS.

Technology Acceptance Model for Mobile Health SystemsIOSR Journals
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors that influence health-related consumer’s
acceptance to use the mobile technology as a tool for receiving healthcare services. Based on technology
acceptance model (TAM), this paper provides a better understanding of antecedent of key acceptance constructs
(e.g. intention to use, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use). The proposed research model and hypotheses
validated and tested with data collected from 302 Egyptians and Yemenis patients, health professionals, and
general health users. The results are analyzed using a number of statistical techniques including partial least
squares. The key findings obtaining from the results of the three surveyed stakeholders reveal that: (1) ninety
percent are indented to use mobile health services. (2) While intention to use has greatly influenced by
perceived usefulness, the impact of perceived ease of use varies. (3) Perceived value, perceived ease of use and
portability factors are significantly affect perceived usefulness. (4) Self-efficacy and technology anxiety have a
great impact on perceived ease of use. (5) The impact of the rest of the suggested factors ranged from medium,
low, and insignificant. The research made an in-depth exploration and examination of the factors that influence
user’s intention to use mobile health services focusing on technological, cultural, organizational, political, and
social aspects whereas most of the previous studies considered only one or two aspects together. The proposed
model can be applied to assess mobile health user’s acceptance, thereby help mobile health developers and
providers to develop better mobile health applications that meet the needs of the potential users.

BRIEF COMMENTARY: USING A LOGIC MODEL TO INTEGRATE PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATICS ...hiij
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a watershed moment in public health surveillance, highlighting the
crucial role of data-driven insights in informing health actions and policies. Revisiting key concepts—
public health, epidemiology in public health practice, public health surveillance, and public health
informatics—lays the foundation for understanding how these elements converge to create a robust public
health surveillance system framework. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, this integration was
exemplified by the WHO efforts in data dissemination and the subsequent global response. The role of
public health informatics emerged as instrumental in this context, enhancing data collection, management,
analysis, interpretation, and dissemination processes. A logic model for public health surveillance systems
encapsulates the integration of these concepts. It outlines the inputs and outcomes and emphasizes the
crucial actions and resources for effective system operation, including the imperative of training and
capacity development.

encapsulates the integration of these concepts. It outlines the inputs and outcomes and emphasizes the
crucial actions and resources for effective system operation, including the imperative of training and
capacity development.
This document discusses barriers to adoption of mobile health (mHealth) apps by doctors and patients. It conducted a literature review and interviews with Dutch mHealth experts from different stakeholder groups (policymakers, users, developers). Twelve main adoption barriers were identified, with the two most important being "Integration and interoperability" due to closed technology supplier systems, and "Business case". Dutch experts viewed "Privacy and security" and "Conservative culture" differently than the international literature. Experts from different stakeholder groups also disagreed on the importance of "Visionless development" and "Competing payment mechanisms". Overcoming barriers could involve healthcare insurers taking a leading role in funding new open standard initiatives, and international cooperation.
Mobile health (mHealth) holds great promise to address issues in healthcare provision by leveraging ubiquitous mobile technologies. However, experts caution that widespread adoption of mHealth will be challenging and take time due to entrenched interests in existing systems and the need for disruptive changes. While patients, doctors and payers see benefits and inevitability of mHealth, most in the industry expect a period of hype, disillusionment, and slow progress as behaviors change and viable business models emerge. Further, adoption faces greater barriers in developed countries' complex systems compared to emerging markets with fewer obstacles but high demand for improved access to care.
This report examines the use of mobile networks to enhance healthcare (mHealth). It defines mHealth and provides an overview of existing and next-generation mHealth applications. It discusses illustrative business cases and how mHealth can benefit society by improving healthcare delivery and public health programs. The report also covers deployment considerations and provides case studies of mHealth in China. It concludes by making recommendations for key players to realize the potential of mHealth.
The document discusses mobile health (mHealth), which uses mobile devices like phones and monitors to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes. It defines mHealth and notes there are over 165,000 mHealth apps available, mainly for patients, with top categories including disease and wellness management. mHealth aims to enhance self-management of chronic illnesses like diabetes and reduce hospital stays through remote monitoring. While mHealth has potential, challenges include regulatory issues, privacy, reliability and integration into healthcare systems. The document evaluates mHealth applications and provides examples of how mHealth is used for diabetes management, wellness tracking, diagnostics and distance learning.

Artificial intelligence and the future of global health
Nina Schwalbe*, Brian Wahl*
Concurrent advances in information technology infrastructure and mobile computing power in many low and
middle-income countries (LMICs) have raised hopes that artificial intelligence (AI) might help to address challenges
unique to the field of global health and accelerate achievement of the health-related sustainable development goals. A
series of fundamental questions have been raised about AI-driven health interventions, and whether the tools,
methods, and protections traditionally used to make ethical and evidence-based decisions about new technologies can
be applied to AI. Deployment of AI has already begun for a broad range of health issues common to LMICs, with
interventions focused primarily on communicable diseases, including tuberculosis and malaria. Types of AI vary, but
most use some form of machine learning or signal processing. Several types of machine learning methods are
frequently used together, as is machine learning with other approaches, most often signal processing. AI-driven
health interventions fit into four categories relevant to global health researchers: (1) diagnosis, (2) patient morbidity
or mortality risk assessment, (3) disease outbreak prediction and surveillance, and (4) health policy and planning.
However, much of the AI-driven intervention research in global health does not describe ethical, regulatory, or
practical considerations required for widespread use or deployment at scale. Despite the field remaining nascent,
AI-driven health interventions could lead to improved health outcomes in LMICs. Although some challenges of
developing and deploying these interventions might not be unique to these settings, the global health community will
need to work quickly to establish guidelines for development, testing, and use, and develop a user-driven research
agenda to facilitate equitable and ethical use.
Introduction
AI is changing how health services are delivered in many
high-income settings, particularly in specialty care
(eg, radiology and pathology).1–3 This development has
been facilitated by the growing availability of large
datasets and novel analytical methods that rely on such
datasets. Concurrent advances in information technology
(IT) infrastructure and mobile computing power have
raised hopes that AI might also provide opportunities to
address health challenges in LMICs.4 These challenges,
including acute health workforce shortages and weak
public health surveillance systems, undermine global
progress towards achieving the health-related sustainable
development goals (SDGs).5,6 Although not unique to
such countries, these challenges are particularly relevant
given their contribution to morbidity and mortality.7,8
AI-driven health technologies could be used to address
many of these and other system-related challenges.4

This document discusses the development of a framework for designing evidence-based mobile health (mHealth) apps to support chronic disease management. The framework was developed over two years through an iterative process of applying the framework to design mHealth apps for different diseases. The final framework includes 7 domains to guide app development: 3 strategic domains to identify value drivers, outcomes, and program objectives, 3 intervention domains to design clinical and behavioral interventions, and 1 domain focused on app features and content. The framework is intended to facilitate the systematic development of scalable, replicable mHealth interventions that can be evaluated for their effectiveness.
Fattori - 50 abstracts of e patient. In collaborazione con Monica DaghioGiuseppe Fattori
This document contains summaries of 50 abstracts related to e-patients and social media. Some key points:
1) Participatory surveillance of hypoglycemia in an online diabetes social network found high rates of hypoglycemic events and related harms like daily worry and withdrawal from activities. Engagement was also high.
2) Analysis of self-reported Parkinson's disease symptom data from an online platform found short-term dynamics like fluctuations exceeding clinically important differences that add to understanding of disease progression.
3) Examination of influential cancer patients on Twitter found most tweets focused on support rather than medical information, indicating its role in online patient community and support.
This document outlines the requirements for an assignment on preparing a state-of-the-science review of the literature. It includes instructions on writing an abstract, conducting a literature review, and developing a quality improvement plan. The literature review must analyze at least 6 scholarly sources to identify gaps in influenza vaccination rates. A sample quality improvement plan proposes using text messages to remind patients aged 30-70 to get their yearly flu shot, potentially increasing vaccination rates.
Mobile Health Application Framework for an Ideal User Experience: A User-Cent...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
rom the literature, it is evident that clinicians would use a mobile application only if they are motivated to do so, and lack of clinical and end-user engagement is one of the most common barriers affecting broader mobile health (mHealth) app adoption.This research aims to answer two questions related to mHealth apps in hospitals:A. How to provide the best user-experience for clinicians in daily routine bases andB. How to create a clinician-centric framework for wider mHealth apps adoption in hospitals?We propose a 6S framework focused on clinician-as-a-user, by analysing current mobile apps available for clinicians in hospitals with some level of clinical decision support. Based on the analysis and market review, we found that the best number of main screens required for a successful healthcare app is six. Finally, the app design/framework was evaluated for user engagement, ease of use and adoption by a broader user group consisting of researchers, clinicians and Health IT engineers
Introduction Healthcare system is considered one of the busiest.pdfbkbk37
The document discusses the application of clinical information systems in nursing. It reviews 4 peer-reviewed articles on the topic. The articles found that clinical information systems can improve workflow and reduce medical errors. However, challenges remain around data integration and sharing patient data across healthcare systems. The document concludes that clinical systems provide opportunities to improve care if effectively implemented and regularly updated to support nurses.
This study investigated factors influencing older adults' intention to use mobile medical apps in the Netherlands. Data was collected through questionnaires administered both digitally and on paper to over 1000 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 and over. Logistic regression analysis identified several significant factors: a positive attitude towards use, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, availability of support services, sense of control, self-perceived effectiveness, access to technology, personal innovativeness, social relationships, subjective norms, and lower anxiety levels increased intention to use apps, whereas cost did not. The study provides insight into important factors for developing policies to advance older adults' adoption of medical apps.
PANDEMIC INFORMATION DISSEMINATION WEB APPLICATION: A MANUAL DESIGN FOR EVERYONEijcsitcejournal
The aim of this research is to generate a web application from an inedited methodology with a series of
instructions indicating the coding in a flow diagram. The primary purpose of this methodology is to aid
non-profits in disseminating information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, so that users can share vital
and up-to-date information. This is a functional design, and a series of screenshots demonstrating its
behaviour is presented below. This unique design arose from the necessity to create a web application for
an information dissemination platform; it also addresses an audience that does not have programming
knowledge. This document uses the scientific method in its writing. The authors understand that there is a
similar design in the bibliography; therefore, the differences between the designs are described herein; it
is very important to point out that this proposal can be taken as an alternative to the design of any web
application.

A radiology report serves as an intermediary between a radiologist and referring clinician for suggesting
appropriate treatment to the patients, aimed at better healthcare management. It is essentially a tool
that assists radiologists in conveying their input to the patients and clinicians regarding positive or negative findings on a case. The objective of this paper is to discuss and propose Radiology Information & Reporting System (RIRS), highlight challenges governing its implementation and suggest way forwards
towards its effective implementation across the public sector tertiary care institutions of Pakistan. In the end, it is concluded that the proposed RIRS would potentially offer enormous benefits in terms of cost
savings, reporting accuracy, faster processing and operational efficiency as opposed to the conventionally available manual radiology reporting procedures and systems.
Presently, there are two categories of cigarettes, namely, combustible cigarette and noncombustible or electronic cigarettes (EC). While combustible cigarettes release smoke,
electronic cigarettes produce vapor or aerosol mist. To address the concerns of harm from tobacco smoke, which contains over 100 potentially harmful chemicals to human health. Exposure to those chemicals is the known cause of smoking-related diseases, such as, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, and bronchial cancers. On the other hand, without
combustion or burning, electronic cigarettes, either the nicotine liquid, or the heat-notburn tobacco sticks, produce no tar and emit less toxicants. In this regard, both types of the
less harm e-cigarettes have been recommended for using as alternative solution as harm reduction strategies for addicted cigarette smokers. It is becoming more popular worldwide,
especially in the USA.

Advanced age, having comorbidities, and vitamin D deficiency are three most important reasons for increased vulnerability to COVID-19 and also worsen complications and increase the risk of death.
Despite the vast amount of information available and lessons learned, many countries are still not fully utilizing these to manage secondary peaks of COVID-19 infection. Factors associated with worse COVID-19 prognosis include, older age, ethnicity, male sex, having comorbidities, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking; all these are associate with vitamin D deficiency. COVID-19 symptomatology varies from
mostly asymptomatic, to, up to 2% fatality. The latter is characterized by cytokine storm, an immune reaction, diffuse arterial thromboembolism, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary oedema,and death.
Myiasis is the infestation by larvae of flies. Myiasis may involve the skin, eyes, nasal passages, gastrointestinal and enitourinary tracts. Cases of urinary myiasis are very rare mostly occurs in immunocompromised hosts, those with previous urologic instrumentation or those with poor socioeconomic status. We present a case of successful outpatient treatment of urinary myiasis in two immunocompetent females without prior urological history
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities for implementing a unified Radiology Information and Reporting System (RIRS) in developing countries like Pakistan. It proposes a RIRS with four interconnected subsystems to streamline the radiology workflow and automate reporting. However, there are technical, financial, legal and regulatory challenges to overcome due to the decentralized healthcare system and lack of digital infrastructure. If successfully implemented, a RIRS could improve the efficiency, accuracy and accessibility of radiology services across Pakistan.
The document discusses COVID-19, its origins, evolution, symptoms, transmission, prevention and mortality. It notes that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China in late 2019. It is caused by a coronavirus that is transmitted through respiratory droplets. Common symptoms include cough, fever and shortness of breath. Basic prevention measures include hand washing, social distancing and wearing face masks. Mortality rates vary by country and are highest among older individuals and those with underlying conditions. Vitamin D deficiency may also increase risk of severe outcomes.
Myiasis is the infestation by larvae of flies. Myiasis may involve the skin, eyes, nasal passages, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.

Advancements in modern imaging techniques such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography and other radiological procedures have improved the diagnosis of gynecological conditions to a great extent. However, the establishment of a final diagnosis and the initiation of appropriate treatment requires direct viewing of the uterine cavity as in hysteroscopy. In many cases, the patient can be treated during the initial hysteroscopy.
The document summarizes an Acceptance and Cognitive Restructuring Intervention Program (ACRIP) developed to address Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in adolescents. It describes how the ACRIP was developed based on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness theories. The 8-module program was tested in previous studies and shown to effectively reduce IGD symptoms and improve psychological well-being. The document recommends adopting the ACRIP for treating IGD through telemedicine given its proven efficacy and the need to address this emerging public health issue.
Since the implementation of the “Unified Health System (SUS)” in Brazil in 1990 (public system that offers universal access to any citizen, whether employed or not), there have been
significant and diversified advances in the formulation of structural policies and programmatic actions of the health sector, directed to the three levels of complexity of the system, with a view to its operationalization/expansion in the country [1].
Telemedicine, E health and other technologies promise change that can profoundly affect patients and providers. Even a quick scan of topics featured in this journal demonstrates its impact on quality of life, public health concerns, and effectiveness healthcare. However, this powerful area of health care also creates serious issues for patients and providers. This writer
is particularly interested in ethics issues that affect the soul of health care.
Since the end of the twentieth century the epidemiological discourse has acquired a more and more undeniable value. This universal symbolic authority of epidemiology of risk factors has become emblematic with the incorporation of lifestyle rhetoric [1-3]. In advocating such
an approach, the area has departed from its historical and epistemological assumptions (population and social context of illness) over the valuation of individual perspective inherent to the emergence of a new globalized economic order, which has gradually shifted the collective concerns of health public to a marginal position [4,5] especially in peripheral capitalist countries [6].
Psychological studies involving humans suggested that addiction is a form of learning and that relapse is a persistent memory of the drug experiences [1,2]. It is the gene transcription factor Cyclic AMP Response-Element-Binding protein (CREB) acting as a switch, converting short-term memory to long-term memory, referred to as the acetylation of chromatin structures [3].

Protective Effects of Ethanol Leaf-Extract of Cajanus Cajan (Linn) in Alcohol Induced Nephrotoxicity in Albino Rats by NN Ezeani* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health
The protective effects of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan in alcohol induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats were investigated. Thirty-six albino rats were assigned into six (6) experimental groups (A, B, C, D, E, F) with six rats in each group. Group A (Normal control) was administered normal saline only. Group B (standard control) was administered 5mg/kg body weight of standard drug (Silymarin); group C (positive control) was administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol while rats in groups D,E and F (test groups) were administered graded doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weights of ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. Rats in standard control and test groups were administered 3.7g/kg body weight of 99.7% ethanol, once a day, 3 hours after administration of standard drug and ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan respectively. The administration lasted for 14 days through oral intubation. The result of our investigation showed that creatinine, uric acid and urea were significantly (P<0.05) increased in positive control group compared to the levels observed in the normal and standard control groups. However, groups administered ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan at the doses of 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weight all showed a significant (P<0.05) reversal in the trends of these parameters to concentrations comparable to those observed in the positive and normal control groups. The findings of this study suggest that ethanol leaf-extract of Cajanus cajan may have potentials that could be exploited for development of chemotherapies against renal toxicity.

A Survey of Energy Efficiency in Wireless Human Body Sensors Lifetime for Healthcare Applications by Sara Kassan*, Jaafar Gaber and Pascal Lorenz in Crimson Publishers: Digital health journal impact factor
Wireless Human Body Sensor Networks (WHBSNs) are extensively used in vital sign monitoring applications and predicting crop health in in order to identify emergency situations and allow caregivers to respond efficiently. When a sensor is drained of energy, it can no longer achieve its role without a substituted source of energy. However, limited energy in a sensor’s battery prevents the long-term process in such applications. In addition, replacing the sensors’ batteries and redeploying the sensors can be very expensive in terms of time and budget and need the presence of the patient at the hospital. To overcome the energy limitation, researchers have proposed the use of energy harvesting to reload the rechargeable battery by power. Therefore, efficient power management is required to increase the benefits of having additional environmental energy. This paper presents a review of energy efficient harvesting mechanisms to extend the Wireless Human Body Sensors lifetime.

The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma_ Crimson PublishersCrimsonpublishersTTEH
The Germinative Preponderance-Sebaceous Epithelioma by Anubha Bajaj* in Crimson Publishers: International journal of telemedicine and applications
Sebaceous epithelioma is a benign, exceptional, distinctive neoplasm comprised of basaloid cells and mature sebocytes. Although a sporadic neoplasm, Muir-Torre syndrome can be frequently associated with sebaceous epithelioma. Benign sebaceous epithelioma, additionally termed as sebaceoma is indicative of sebaceous neoplasm exceeding >50% basaloid cell component and demonstrates yellow papules, nodules or plaques predominating on sites of enhanced sebaceous glands. Dermoscopy delineates yellow-tinged, granular articulations with fine, curvilinear capillaries and vascular formations. Sebaceoma incorporates an admixture of undifferentiated basaloid cells and differentiated sebaceous cells. Basaloid cells enunciate a cytoplasmic vacuolation and sebaceous cells are clear and lipid rich. Histological variants of sebaceoma include carcinoid- like, sinusoidal, reticulated, cribriform, rippled and sebaceoma with Verocay bodylike features. Immune reactivity to adipophilin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), cytokeratin 5(CK5), cytokeratin 6(CK6) and p40 are elucidated. Sebaceoma requires a distinction from basal cell carcinoma with sebaceous differentiation and trichoblastoma with sebaceous differentiation. Surgical resection of the neoplasm with a narrow surgical resection margin is the preferred therapeutic option.

Tobacco Harm Reduction by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and e-Health open access journals
Cigarette smoke contain approximately 250 different chemicals known to be harmful to human health. Thousands of harmful chemical substances produce by the combustion of tobacco. The health impacts such as cancer and chronic lung disease are not only associated with smokers but also people who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Tobacco Harm Reduction is a concept to minimize the impacts of tobacco on the individual and on society at large. A key component of this strategy is using alternative source of nicotine as a substitute to tobacco cigarettes. Electronic cigarette and heated tobacco are alternatives that might have potential in reduce harm from smokes. This paper elaborates on available research associated with electronic cigarette and heated tobacco with harm reduction and risk perspective.

Asbestos Pollution by Somchai Bovornkitti* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine Journal and e-health
A news article, entitled “Study Finds Asbestos in Nearly Half of Thailand’s Population” by Tim Povtak, was published in CTN News (Chaing Rai News) on July 3, 2019. Unfortunately, it contained some misunderstandings concerning the recent report of Incharoen and her colleagues [1]. For the record, two studies have been conducted in Thailand to search for the presence of asbestos bodies in the lungs of patients who had died of different conditions besides asbestos-related diseases. The first study by Sri umpai et al. [2] was published in 1985. Those researchers reported that, of the 330 cadavers that they had examined, 33 percent were found to contain asbestos bodies [2]. The second study by Incharoen et al. [1] was conducted 30 odd years later; those researchers found an even higher incidence of asbestos bodies, i.e. up to 48.5 percent, in 97 of the 200 cadavers that they had examined [1].
The findings of both studies implied that Thai people at large were being exposed to increasing amounts of asbestos fibers floating in the ambient atmosphere. The pollutants were likely being released from the earth during rough weather, as well as the scaling off of asbestos fibers from the roof tiles and siding of aging houses. The studies did not claim that such exposure would lead to the death of those who had been exposed to asbestos bodies in their lungs

Clarion and Crystal-Clear Cell Acanthoma Reviewed by Anubha Bajaj* in Crimson Publishers: Telemedicine and eHealth Journal
Clear cell acanthoma or Degos’ acanthoma or pale cell acanthoma is an exceptional, asymptomatic, cutaneous benign tumefaction of obscure etiology, emerging from epidermal keratinocytes. Solitary or multiple dome shaped lesions or well delineated nodules or plaques are frequently cogitated on distal extremities. Typically, clear cell acanthoma exhibits a “stuck on” appearance akin to seborrheic keratosis, “vascular countenance” of pyogenic granuloma, “scaling and exudation” elucidated in eczematous reactions and a “progressive margin “associated with an epithelioma. Clear cell acanthoma depicts uniform, pale keratinocytes or pale epithelial cells with abundant cytoplasm composed of excessive glycogen, centric nuclei and distinct foci of transformation. Clinical segregation is required from dermatofibroma, pyogenic granuloma, irritated seborrheic keratosis, keratoacanthoma, actinic keratosis, plaque psoriasis, eccrine poroma, viral warts or malignant cutaneous tumors such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and metastatic cancer. Dermatoscopy demonstrates a variegated reddish or purple lesion demonstrating a serpiginous pattern akin to a “string of pearls”. Comprehensive surgical eradication of the lesion is the recommended therapeutic option.

Understanding Atherosclerosis Causes, Symptoms, Complications, and Preventionrealmbeats0
Definition: Atherosclerosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of plaques, which are made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances, in the walls of arteries. Over time, these plaques harden and narrow the arteries, restricting blood flow.
Importance: This condition is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, carotid artery disease, and peripheral artery disease. Understanding atherosclerosis is crucial for preventing these serious health issues.
Overview: We will cover the aims and objectives of this presentation, delve into the signs and symptoms of atherosclerosis, discuss its complications, and explore preventive measures and lifestyle changes that can mitigate risk.
Aim: To provide a detailed understanding of atherosclerosis, encompassing its pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and strategies for prevention and management.
Purpose: The primary purpose of this presentation is to raise awareness about atherosclerosis, highlight its impact on public health, and educate individuals on how they can reduce their risk through lifestyle changes and medical interventions.
Educational Goals:
Explain the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, including the processes of plaque formation and arterial hardening.
Identify the risk factors associated with atherosclerosis, such as high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, and sedentary lifestyle.
Discuss the clinical signs and symptoms that may indicate the presence of atherosclerosis.
Highlight the potential complications arising from untreated atherosclerosis, including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
Provide practical advice on preventive measures, including dietary recommendations, exercise guidelines, and the importance of regular medical check-ups.
A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart that a child is born with.
Some congenital heart defects in children are simple and don't need treatment. Others are more complex. The child may need several surgeries done over a period of several years.
Fexofenadine is sold under the brand name Allegra.
It is a selective peripheral H1 blocker. It is classified as a second-generation antihistamine because it is less able to pass the blood–brain barrier and causes lesser sedation, as compared to first-generation antihistamines.
It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. Fexofenadine has been manufactured in generic form since 2011.

Part III - Cumulative Grief: Learning how to honor the many losses that occur...bkling
Cumulative grief, also known as compounded grief, is grief that occurs more than once in a brief period of time. As a person with cancer, a caregiver or professional in this world, we are often met with confronting grief on a frequent basis. Learn about cumulative grief and ways to cope with it. We will also explore methods to heal from this challenging experience.
CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) advocates universal vaccination as a means of
prevention of numerous diseases as 19 million children worldwide are not vaccinated or
need extra immunization. According to WHO, vaccination “Saves millions of lives” and is
recognized worldwide as one of the most successful and efficient prevention and at the lowest
cost. According to data campaign foster equity and access to vaccinations, strengthen national
immunization programs to reach populations with limited access to regular health services
such as those on the outskirts urban, rural, border and indigenous communities, providing
platform to raise awareness about the importance of immunization and maintain the topic
on the political agenda [1]. Our vaccine coverage is still very heterogeneous, reflecting factors
such as: great extent of our country, the lack of communication through an integrated system
between the Health Care Units and the rework generated by the loss of vaccination cards. As
well as lack of information, issues of accessibility and culture contribute to the reduction of
adherents to health and should be worked out so as not to interfere so significantly with the
vaccination coverage [2-5].
The development of new technologies, such as computerized registration systems
vaccination with nominal data is essential for maintaining good quality [6-10], Computerized
systems are useful for scheduling vaccinations, user identification, search for absenteeism
and monitoring of coverage vaccination and adverse events following vaccination. Also,
if related to other health and socio-demographic information systems, becomes a unique
instrument for the planning and evaluation of public health actions, besides presenting
information reliability, data accuracy and increased services provided by health professionals
[9]. Computerized vaccine registration systems are an important tool for the increase and
maintenance of vaccine coverage, generating information for data systems, and serve
as reliable assessment tools for vaccine situation. The popularization of smart phones,
smartphones, has been considered by many to be the most impacting technological revolution
in recent times after the revolution caused by the Internet and social networks [1].

Abstract
The use of mobile applications, through smart phones, smartphones, has been considered by many to be
the technological revolution of greatest repercussion in recent times. Compared to a handheld computer
and with access to millions of applications, its main feature is unlimited mobility, accompanying its user
at all times and in any place. In health, it is known that professionals are constantly moving outside of
the institutions in which they work, so mobility is fundamental, which contributes to the interoperabil-
ity of mobile technologies. This study aims to identify the research involving mobile technology applied
to the vaccination being used. The methodology used is of the type integrative review of the literature.
The final sample had 14 papers. The analysis of the results showed that the most addressed issue in the
development of mobile applications for the area of health vaccination was the guidance and reminders
of vaccines to users through the application. When looking at the focus of these applications, you’ll find
that the area most benefited by mobile computing research for vaccination has been education and user
orientation. It was concluded with the review that the development of mobile vaccination applications
linked to scientific research is of paramount importance because its content will be analyzed and tested
by professionals who know the real needs of the end users
