Antibiotic resistance is a complex public health issue that requires a One Health approach. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture, and the environment has contributed to the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A holistic, multisectoral response is needed that promotes prudent antibiotic use and prevents infection across human, animal, agricultural, and environmental domains.
The One Health approach recognizes that human health, animal health, and environmental health are interconnected. It aims to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment through collaboration across multiple disciplines. Key agencies like FAO, OIE, and WHO have developed strategic frameworks to foster cooperation between sectors. Case studies demonstrate how delayed or lack of coordination between human and animal health sectors increased costs and impacted control of diseases like Nipah virus. Antimicrobial resistance is another issue that requires a One Health approach.

It also discusses diseases caused by protozoans and parasites like malaria. The document concludes by explaining concepts of immunity, structure of antibodies, immune response, immune organs, vaccination, AIDS, and cancer.
Humans have always been infected with many deadly diseases. Many of which are curable and some are non-curable. Although there has been much advancement in the medical-science, some diseases have no cure and can only be prevented. Researchers are experimenting new ways to treat or prevent these diseases. Here we have shortlisted some deadly disease that has haunted humankind.
This document discusses key concepts in epidemiology including definitions of disease, illness, and sickness. It describes the spectrum and "iceberg phenomenon" of disease, where most cases remain undiagnosed. Theories of disease causation are outlined, from older theories to modern concepts like the epidemiological triad/tetrad involving agents, hosts, and environments over time. Examples of risk factors, risk groups, and models of causation like the web and wheel of causation are provided. The natural history of disease progression is also addressed. Tuberculosis is used as an example to illustrate the interplay between infectious agents, human hosts, and social/environmental determinants of disease.
Human health relies on factors like diet, exercise, hygiene and sleep. Disease is any disorder that departs from good health, and can be acute or chronic. Diseases are diagnosed based on their symptoms. There are physical, infectious, and non-infectious diseases. Infectious diseases spread through pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Examples provided include influenza, measles, chickenpox, salmonella, cholera, typhoid and gonorrhea. Non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens and include mental illnesses and genetic disorders like Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
The natural history of a disease refers to its typical progression in an individual over time without medical intervention. It begins with exposure to disease factors and may end in recovery, disability, or death. Understanding the natural history is important for disease prevention and control. Several models have been developed to describe disease causation, including the epidemiological triad/tetrad of agent, host, environment, and time factors. The natural history is best established through cohort studies but can also be informed by other epidemiological study designs.
The document discusses various theories of disease causation including the germ theory, epidemiological triad, multifactorial causation theory, and web of causation. It also covers the Devers epidemiological model and describes the spectrum and iceberg models of disease. Nurses can play an important role in disease prevention through activities like early diagnosis, treatment, notification of diseases, identifying infection sources, and providing health education.
This document discusses concepts related to disease and causation, including:
1) The natural history of a disease describes its evolution over time from earliest stages to recovery, disability, or death without treatment.
2) Henle-Koch's postulates provide guidelines for establishing causation between a microbe and a disease.
3) The stages of a disease include pre-pathogenic, pathogenic, incubation period, prodromal, overt disease, defervescence, and convalescence phases.
The document discusses concepts related to health, disease, and prevention. It defines health using the WHO definition of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It describes positive health and the good health triad. Determinants of health are defined as predisposing factors that influence community health, including host factors like age and genetics, and environmental factors. Risk factors are attributes associated with disease development. The document outlines dimensions of health and wellness, and defines disease using the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment. It describes the natural history of disease and levels of prevention from primordial to treatment. Gordon's 1987 classification system for preventive interventions is also mentioned.
The document discusses the concept of health and disease from different perspectives. It outlines the changing concepts of health from a biomedical model focused on disease absence to a holistic model recognizing social, economic, environmental and other influences. It also discusses definitions of health from organizations like WHO and concepts like determinants, dimensions and indicators of health.
The document discusses several human diseases including their causes, symptoms, transmission, prevention and control. It covers viral diseases like influenza, jaundice, rabies and AIDS. It also discusses bacterial diseases such as cholera, diarrhea and typhoid. Additionally, it summarizes protozoan diseases including malaria and parasitic diseases like tuberculosis. The document provides detailed information on the definition, characteristics, treatment and prevention of major infectious diseases impacting humans.
Davos One Health 2015 Surveillance for Pandemic Threats 5 oct 2015 Peter DAN...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
Surveillance of zoonotic diseases in farmed animals is important to prevent pandemics. Many recent outbreaks of influenza started in animals before spreading to humans. Effective surveillance could allow early detection and control of diseases in animals to prevent human transmission. However, current surveillance is inadequate due to factors like cost, lack of reporting incentives for farmers, and negative consequences of reporting diseases. Improved engagement with farmers and the public is needed to develop surveillance systems that manage risks while supporting sustainable agriculture.
One health and its importance; notes - Dr. ROBIN.pptxROBIN VAVACHAN
The document discusses One Health and the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It notes that human destruction of biodiversity and disruption of ecosystems can create conditions for diseases like COVID-19 to emerge. When humans disturb natural habitats and kill or cage wild animals, it can release viruses from their natural hosts, with humans becoming the new host. The document advocates for a multisectoral One Health approach involving coordination across human health, animal health, and environmental sectors to address health threats at the human-animal interface.

One Health: A Holistic Approach to Achieving Global Well-beinggreendigital
Introduction:
In an interconnected world where the boundaries between humans, and animals. and the environment blurred. One Health has emerged as a comprehensive approach to addressing complex health challenges. One Health recognizes the intricate connections between the Health of humans and animals. and ecosystems, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts across disciplines to achieve optimal well-being for all. This article delves into the fundamental principles of It, and its historical roots. and its potential to revolutionize the way we approach global Health.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Understanding One Health:
A- Definition and Scope:
It is an integrative approach that considers the Health of humans, animals. and the environment as interdependent entities. It acknowledges that the Health of one component influences the Health of the others. and disruptions in any of these systems can have far-reaching consequences. This approach goes beyond traditional silos in health management. and embraces a holistic perspective. recognizing the intricate web of connections that shape our Health.
B- Historical Roots:
The roots of the It concept can traced back to ancient civilizations. where the interconnectedness of human and animal health acknowledged. But, the formal recognition of It as a distinct field gained momentum in the late 20th century. The emergence of zoonotic diseases transmitted between animals. and humans highlighted the need for a collaborative approach to disease prevention and control.
Key Principles of One Health:
A- Interdisciplinary Collaboration:
At the heart of It is interdisciplinary collaboration. This principle involves breaking down the traditional barriers between medical, veterinary. and environmental sciences. Professionals from various fields work together to understand the complex dynamics of Health. and to develop effective strategies for prevention, surveillance, and response to emerging threats.
B- Zoonotic Disease Surveillance:
Given the increasing frequency of zoonotic disease outbreaks. It emphasizes surveillance and early detection. Monitoring diseases at the human-animal-environment interface is crucial for identifying potential threats before. they escalate into global pandemics. This proactive approach involves close collaboration between public health agencies. veterinary services, and environmental monitoring bodies.
C- Environmental Stewardship:
It recognizes the impact of environmental degradation on Health.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

What Can Be Done to Manage Catastrophic Human Disease Threats from Farmed Animals?
1. What Can Be Done to Manage
Catastrophic Human Disease Threats
from Farmed Animals?
Peter Daniels
Deputy Director, Australian Animal Health Laboratory, Geelong, Australia
CSIRO Animal, Food and Health Science
Presentation to the 2nd GRF One Health Summit 2013
Davos, Switzerland, 17- 20 November, 2013
2. An aspirational proposition?
A Glimpse of the Future?
Where animals are farmed to meet the needs of
society, an informed society will require that the
farming of these animals will not result in a
health threat to people
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 2
3. The Role Call of Emerging Infectious
Diseases Problems - and “Near Misses”

•
Nipah Virus in Pigs in Malaysia ... 295 (120)
Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 ... 630 (375)
Ebola-Reston in pigs in the Philippines several (0)
Pandemic H1N1 2009 globally .... ongoing
Variant H3N2 in North American pigs ... Several

• Avian influenza A(H7N9) in China ... 134 (43)
(Just examples where intensively farmed animals
have been a significant factor)
4. The Basics of Disease
and Disease Transmission
A shared understanding for
surveillance and control
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 4
5. Microbiologically speaking
The main determinant of animal
disease is the PATHOGENESIS of
the infectious agent
Pathogenesis determines the
route of excretion of a microbe
from an infected animal and the
route of infection of the next
susceptible animal:
The transmission pathway –
determines opportunities for
surveillance and control
Daniels et al (2007) Current Topics
Immunol and Microbiol, 315:113-131
6. BUT, realistically speaking
The main determinant of animal disease
management is …….
HUMAN BEHAVIOUR
Human behaviours (farming, marketing, etc)
allow the transmission pathway to succeed
(anywhere along the “value chain”)
7. Infectious disease is TRANSMITTED animal to animal,
aided by human value chain behaviours
Hence a holistic understanding of
TRANSMISSION is the basis of
managing the risks of animal disease
But the understanding is needed by each
society as whole: Farmers, traders, advisors,
industry managers, regulators, consumers
And the people at the critical control
points have to CARE enough to want to
manage the infection – to do it!
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 7
8. The Chatham House
Centre on Global Health Security
Project title: Tensions between Human and
Animal Health
Reviewing current policies and collaboration between the human,
animal and trade sectors to identify possible obstacles and
solutions
Often identification of an infectious agent occurs in
humans after human-to-human spread has begun, rather
than in the animal from which it comes, and
opportunities for control in animals and prevention of
human infection are lost
Chatham House (2010) Shifting from Emergency Response to
Prevention of Pandemic Disease Threats at Source
9. Does this call into question how
“surveillance” is done?
• Delivery on our over-arching proposition, responding to
Chatham House type concerns, requires a priori detection!
THE SOLUTION? THE VISION?
Managers of intensively farmed animals will know the
infection status of their enterprise, just as they know
the data of any production-related aspect of the
business,
and communicate findings
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 9
10. Surveillance has a reporting component
Test and tell!
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 10
11. Objectives (Benefits) of Surveillance
• Early detection of animal disease to facilitate control
• Early detection of genetic changes altering risks to
human or animal health
• Early detection of phenotypic changes (antigenic,
antiviral susceptibility) with implications for human or
animal health
• Management of control programs
• Improved knowledge of viral epidemiology and
disease pathogenesis
• Monitoring the performance of diagnostic tools
12. Reasons for inadequate surveillance
(under assessment and under reporting of disease)
1. Inability
Inability to detect
lack of awareness of benefits
lack of sampling and testing capacity
Inability to report
No effective reporting and response chain
2. Unwillingness
Cost
and lack of financial advantage or cost recovery
Negative consequences
trade restrictions, movement bans
compulsory slaughter/no compensation
Loss of reputation
No incentives
national (loss of tourism), local (victimization)
no positive feedback or response plan
World Bank 2010, “People, Pathogens and Our Planet”
13. Possible surveillance issues for producers
1. Who carries the cost?
2. What will be the response to findings?
• Regulatory issues affecting business continuity
• Public perception issues relating to profitability
There is too much uncertainty!
The informed debate is yet to be had,
The policy settings are yet to be developed.
14. But still, the fear of infectious diseases is very real
in our communities
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 14
15. A Glimpse of the Future?
Consequently there is a need for public-private
cooperation to deliver effective surveillance of animal
populations for emerging health threats:
Managing the Human Animal Interface
Monitoring the infections status of farmed
animals is a basic approach to risk management
“Understanding the complex dynamics that define the food animal
ecosystem of the 21st century is central to mitigating risks of
emerging zoonoses” (Leibler et al, 2009, Ecohealth)
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 15
16. Prerequisites for a new way of doing business
based on real time surveillance 1.
The human factor: farm owners and managers
have to be committed
Foreseeable impediments:
• Costs – who pays, and how?
• Negative repercussions following detections – threats to
business continuity – need informed and predictable regulations
Immediate needs:
• Advocacy for partnership between public and producers
• Social science/behavioural science research along the value
chain
• Communications strategies - but with what messages?
Pandemic Threats and Animal Agriculture Page 16
17. Prerequisites for a new way of doing business
incorporating real time surveillance 2.
The technological challenges and opportunities
New detection technologies are becoming available
• The challenge is to choose among them
• Investigate how best to use them
• Validate them
Which approach will be most cost effective?
(there’s work to be done!)
