Study Notes
Medical Procedures and Anticoagulants
- Natural anticoagulant heparin is used in medical procedures to prevent blood clotting.
- Serology and toxicology tests assess various blood conditions and substances, including Na citrate and EDTA.
Immunization
- Children receive vaccines for OPV (oral polio vaccine), measles, and polio.
- Adults should be immunized against Covid-19, flu, and pneumococcus.
- HPV vaccine is recommended for girls; boys may also receive it.
Public Health Concepts
- Health care access is structured in a pyramid format, with individual needs at the base and international health considerations at the top.
- Morbidity refers to the incidence of a disease, while mortality measures the number of deaths it causes.
Tobacco Use and Health Risks
- Tobacco consumption statistics: approximately 10 pesos per stick, averaging 20 sticks a day.
- Smokers aged 11-59 often remain asymptomatic, while those 60 and older may develop chronic respiratory issues like asthma or COPD.
Population Dynamics
- Global population growth occurs rapidly; births every 2 minutes and deaths every 5 minutes.
- Factors affecting population include density, age structure, and immigrant variations.
Exponential Growth Models
- Populations can exhibit exponential (J-shaped) or logistic (S-shaped) growth patterns.
- Endemic diseases like malaria are consistently present in specific regions, e.g., Palawan.
Health Education and Counseling
- Effective public health relies on health education and counseling on family planning and HIV confidentiality.
- Various levels of health education exist: individual, small group, and mass communication which can include biased reporting.
Infectious and Lifestyle Diseases
- Infectious diseases include tuberculosis, pneumonia, and respiratory illnesses.
- Non-communicable diseases result from lifestyle choices impacting health negatively (e.g., obesity, diabetes, cardiac conditions).
Chain of Infection
- Understanding the chain of infection involves identifying the source, mode of transmission, and susceptible hosts.
- Common vectors include sexual transmission and airborne diseases.
Community and Environmental Health
- Waste categorization aids in management – biodegradable vs non-biodegradable.
- Regulations pertain to sanitation and excreta disposal to prevent disease spread.
Water Quality and Management
- Water classification includes microbial content analysis; portable water has specific standards (e.g., fecal coliform levels).
- Water sources are protected through various systems, such as rainwater harvesting and borehole systems.
Community Health Initiatives
- Community health programs target communicable disease prevention, maternal and child health, and proper waste management.
- The DOH supports public health efforts through training and accreditation of healthcare institutions.
Current Health Threats and Bioterrorism
- Awareness of bioterrorism includes knowledge of pathogens like Brucella and others categorized by risk.
- Addressing both physical and mental health is crucial for holistic community wellness.
Prevention and Treatment of Diseases
- Health education emphasizes prevention strategies for diseases such as HIV, malaria, and foodborne illnesses.
- Safe water and sanitation are critical to reducing waterborne diseases like cholera and typhoid fever.
