A behavioral economics perspective on tobacco taxation.

American Journal of Public Health — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 08:12:07 +0100

Authors: Cherukupalli R Economic studies of taxation typically estimate external costs of tobacco use to be low and refrain from recommending large tobacco taxes. Behavioral economics suggests that a rational decision-making process by individuals fully aware of tobacco's hazards might still lead to overconsumption through the psychological tendency to favor immediate gratification over future harm. Taxes can serve as a self-control device to help reduce tobacco use and enable successful quit attempts. Whether taxes are appropriately high depends on how excessively people underrate the harm from tobacco use and varies with a country's circumstances. Such taxes are likely to be more equitable for poorer subgroups than traditional economic analysis suggests, which would strengthen the ca...

Conclusion: In conclusion, the reliability and the dimensionality of a condition-specific measure with high content validity for persons having abnormal or false-positive lung cancer screening results have been demonstrated. This new questionnaire called Consequences of Screening in Lung Cancer (COS-LC) covers in two parts the psychosocial experience in lung cancer screening. Part I: "anxiety,""behavior,""dejection,""sleep,""self-blame,""focus on airway symptoms,""stigmatization,""introvert," and "harm of smoking." Part II: "calm/relax,""social network,""existential values,""impulsivity,""empathy," and "regretful of still smoking." (Source: Value in Health)

People Living with HIV/AIDS: India Must Not Sacrifice Us in Trade Agreement with Europe

Geneva/New Delhi, March 12, 2010 – As the final round of closed-door negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the European Union (EU) is about to start this month, people living with HIV/AIDS are protesting to ensure Indian negotiators do not give in to pressure to accept terms that will seriously hamper access to medicines for millions of people living in the developing world. “We are marching to call on the Indian government not to trade away our lives,” said Loon Gangte, president of the Delhi Network of Positive People (DNP+). “Lifelong treatment for people living with HIV depends on continued access to newer AIDS medicines. Because of international trade rules that India has already signed in the past, some of our newer AIDS medicines a...

Haiti: Two month post-earthquake update of MSF interventions

MSF News — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:25:00 +0100

Although the urgent life-saving phase of medical care has passed there continues to be a critical emergency context, in which thousands of people need post-operative care, rehabilitative care and physiotherapy, as well as psychological counselling. The extremely difficult living conditions place stress on people who live in camps or in tents throughout the city and its surrounding areas. The rainy season has begun, adding to the horrific living conditions of many who still don’t have proper access to sanitation facilities, and augmenting their chances of contracting malaria. There is also insecurity in camps due to poor lighting facilities or poor security management, indicated partly by an increase in sexual violence cases.

In conclusion, Shigella spp. isolated from symptomatic patients in Kuwait and the UAE demonstrated high rates of resistance to the first-line antibiotics but very susceptible to the carbapenems, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and tigecycline. Tigecycline holds promise as a potential drug of choice for the therapy of severe shigellosis. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Factors determining poor practice in alcoholic gel hand rub technique in hospital workers

Journal of Infection and Public Health — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:45:07 +0100

Conclusion: These results demonstrate that an educational program can significantly improve the proper practices for using hand rub and hand washing compliance. This study has also demonstrated that wearing rings, bracelets, watches and long nails impair hand gel application but that wedding rings, long sleeves and varnished nails do not. The finding of that hand hygiene effectiveness increased with time even prior to training indicates that knowledge gained by staff trained early diffused into those who had not yet been trained.

Tuberculosis in Saudi Arabia: Can we change the way we deal with the disease?

Journal of Infection and Public Health — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:45:07 +0100

Summary: Infection from Mycobacterium tuberculosis results in the death of three million people worldwide per annum of which an estimated one thousand are in Saudi Arabia. The WHO has set a target for successful treatment of 85% but Saudi Arabia is currently not meeting that target. We believe that the first step in improving the control of tuberculosis in Saudi Arabia is to improve and unify the standards of diagnostic services and laboratories responsible for tuberculosis. This paper reviews the current status and suggests possible improvements. (Source: Journal of Infection and Public Health)

Pyogenic spondylodiscitis: An overview

Journal of Infection and Public Health — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:45:07 +0100

Summary: Although uncommon, spontaneous and postoperative pyogenic spondylodiscitis entail major morbidity and may be associated with serious long-term sequelae. A review of the literature was done to advance our understanding of the diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of these infections.The principles of conservative treatment are to establish an accurate microbiological diagnosis, treat with appropriate antibiotics, immobilize the spine, and closely monitor for spinal instability and neurological deterioration. The purpose of surgical treatment is to obtain multiple intraoperative cultures of bone and soft tissue, perform a thorough debridement of infected tissue and decompression of neural structures, and reconstruct the unstable spinal column with bone graft with or without concomitant ...

Pharmaco-EcoMicrobiology: A newer component of medical sciences bridging pharmacovigilance, ecology, and environmental microbiology

Journal of Infection and Public Health — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:45:07 +0100

Summary: Environmental scientists are now raising great concern on the impact of drugs on the environment and microbiologists are concerned about increasing antibiotic resistance due to irrational usage. However, a focus on the impact by the use of antibiotics (irrational/prescribed) to the environment at therapeutic doses has not been instituted. Even the World Health Organization (WHO) defined “Pharmacovigilance” activities as the monitoring, detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of any adverse reactions to drugs at therapeutic concentration on animals and humans. Nevertheless, there is little attention being given to identifying the adverse effects (ADEs) of antimicrobial agents on the environment (given at therapeutic doses). This issue has been highlighted in the pre...

Health literacy and communication explored from different angles

Patient Education and Counseling — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:44:53 +0100

In recent years we have witnessed a growing interest in health literacy and the impact of literacy on provider–patient relationships and on outcomes of clinical communication such as adherence and patient satisfaction. In a narrow sense health literacy denotes the ability to read health related materials, while in a broader sense health literacy includes a number of abilities related to the acquisition and application of health related information. For instance, health literacy has been found to be a marker for communication problems between patients and providers, particularly in the technical, explanatory domains of clinician–patient dialogue and there is a robust association between health literacy and disease knowledge in patients with chronic disease .
