Cardiovascular diseases (CVD’s) comprise overall cardiometabolic disorders such as hypertension, coronary heart diseases (CHDs) and stroke disorders. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases varies from age to age and from ethnic backgrounds. The role of epigenetics and environmental factors is evident from research studies. The food we eat and the environment we live in affects the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are more common in obese population which have body mass index (BMI) of more than 30. Generally, Post-menopausal women are more prone to be affected from CVDs most probably because of the oestrogen deficiency a hormone that is responsible for normal sexual function in female population. It has linked to several other reproductive diseases in women. It has been hypothesized that deficiency of this hormone in age of 40 in women is linked to cardiovascular diseases. This yet need further evidence from country specific populations because there is lots of genetic and environmental variations from region to region and country to country. Moreover, it is a good idea to determine the risk factors that predispose women to hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Global burden of diseases(GBD) documented the data mostly from European countries which may not be applied to the people living in Asian countries and moreover in rural areas mainly because of the diversity in genetic and epigenetic phenomenon. The incidence of is the leading mortality and morbidity cause among the women of developed countries and a major disability inducing risk factor too. Among women above the age of 70, 54% of all and 39% of disability associated deaths, are because of CVD. Corresponding percentages are 31% and 18% for women aged 50–69. However, we still lack in information about CVD in women. This is mainly because the disease is very rare in younger (less than 50 years) women. The incidence of CVD and risk factors like hypertension (HTN), Hypercholesterolemia rapidly increase the risk of cardiometabolic outcomes. The loss of oestrogen, ovarian function and altered progesterone secretion serve to be the main cause of increased risk of CVD among menopausal women The considerable metabolic changes that occur during menopause are because of oestrogen deficiency and deleterious mutations in nutritional and lifestyle factors which accumulate during this specific time period.

technical paper

Public Health Conference (PHC) is one of a kind platform for global stakeholders from academic, professional and governmental realms to gather, network and discuss healthcare, public health and medical science.

In 2016 an estimated 43% of children under five years from low- and middle-income countries were at risk of not achieving optimum developmental potential. Healthcare cost associated with children who are at risk of delayed development has been found to be higher than those who are not at risk. However, much of the evidence is from a developed nation's context. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the developmental status and its associated factors among children under five years living in slum-like conditions in Nepal.

Developmental Delay and Its Associated Factors Among Children Under Five Years in Urban Slums of Nepal

We will all die one day - this is a fact. We don't know when - and this is uncertainty we wish to ignore. Conversations about end of life are something everyone ignores, and this is a fact too. 
                  
Heart failure captures the complexity and delicacy of end-of-life discussions. It’s a progressive, incurable, and unpredictable condition that can, but doesn’t have to be, immediately fatal.

More than half of heart failure who die within three days were originally predicted to survive another six months. But, out of every ten patients, two would survive for more than ten years after being diagnosed. And most patients 'do not perceive that they had a discussion' about end of life.

Reasons are varied - cognitively, patients fear they won't understand what their doctor said, and emotionally they do not want to sadden their families. Doctors avoid it too, feeling they disappoint their patients. In this talk. Prof. Miron-Shatz will show that talking about death doesn't kill anyone and in fact carries benefits. She proposes a unique method 'TAD' Talk About Death - that routinizes such conversations, while allowing us to celebrate life.

Talking about Death, Celebrating Life

Although great advances have been made in healthcare, the United States ranks #1 among developed countries with advanced economies for maternal and infant mortality. The current rate of maternal and infant deaths has consistently risen over the last 20 years in the United States. This rise is primarily among black women and black infants.  The infant mortality for black babies in the United States is roughly 4 times that of the European Union. 

Research has shown that the key the reasons for these outcomes are rooted in structural racism which has led to implicit and interpersonal racism and while there has been a great deal of research and training on the topic of bias the disparities in maternal and infant outcomes persist. 

In my proposed presentation, I will discuss the intersection of racialized practices including those found to be social determinants of health for pregnant women and infants. I will address strategies to address structural barriers in the context of ethical leadership and the role it could play in closing the outcome disparity gap.

An Examination of the Role Ethical Leadership and the Attainment of Maternal and Child Health Equity

Health Literacy (HL) conditions the way in which the individual is able to make the right decisions about health, affecting the quality of life, which may have implications for the expenses of Health Systems. So monitor HL it is a relevant tool in Health Promotion. This study aims to analyse the relationship between HL and the sociodemographic characteristics of students. This is a descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, with a sample of 351 university students. In collecting data we used a questionnaire filled out by students online. Data were processed using SPSS software (version 22.0). The majority of students were female (69.5%), belonged to the age group of 18 to 23 years (72.4%), attended a degree (65.1%) and reported a monthly income per capita between 1000 and 1999 euros (37.3%). The HL categories differed significantly between genders (c2: p < 0,041) and among students with different per capita income (c2: p < 0,049). The HL of students in this sample is predominantly limited and is related to gender and per capita income. In view of an identified low level of HL, there is a need for investment in health education in this population group.

Proactive Approach to Healthcare - Prevention, Boosting Immune System and Promoting Healthy Lifestyle

These reports demonstrate that Falun Gong has a powerful and beneficial effect on patients with chronic diseases. All patients reported symptoms reduction or disappearance shortly after starting Falun Gong meditation practice. This lifestyle change and following the principles of Zhen-Shan-Ren (or Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance in English) help to maintain the treatment effect and long-term health of the patients. Falun Gong is free-of-charge and easy to learn; it is the solution of choice to nurture good behaviors resulting in better health and wellness for the community. Popularizing Falun Gong in the Vietnamese community and the global societies should be one for public health consideration.

A Proposal for Enhancing Public Health and Wellness: Case Reports of Full Recovery from Severe Chronic Diseases by Practicing Falun Gong

This pandemic has affected all of us. But not equally and not equitably. The entire society has been polarized. Many lives have been lost and many more are being threatened not only due to the virus, but due to imposed policies, patients with chronic conditions being denied access to healthcare for their regular treatments, increased suicide rates, violence and greatly affected mental health of the entire population globally. 

We are witnessing that some of the greatest scientists and medical doctors, who were celebrated before the pandemic, are now being silenced, discredited and investigated by authorities – including our guest today. 

We see little transparency around all this, but lots of confusion. In the absence of scientific consensus, it is unclear what people base decisions concerning their health on and how they choose which side to take. 


Role and Responsibilities of Global Stakeholders: The Impact of COVID-19 Response Policies on Public Health Equity and Health Literacy

Currently, urban areas have experienced many challenges related to public health. This challenge will continue to be felt in the future. Taking care of the environment and maintaining health is the main key so that we avoid various kinds of health problems. Residents must take part in the implementation of maintaining their own health and the environment in order to create a healthy society for a more secure future.

Urban Public Health: Future Challenges and Plans

Despite substantial scientific progress over the past two decades, malaria continues to be a worldwide burden. Ever growing resistance towards the currently available antimalarial drugs is a challenge to combat malaria. Medicinal plants are a promising source of new drugs to tackle this problem. Thus, the present study aimed at evaluating the antiplasmodial activity of Terminalia brownii in Plasmodium berghei infected mice. A 4-day suppressive test was employed to evaluate the antimalarial effect of 80% methanol and aqueous bark extracts of T. brownii against P. berghei in Swiss albino mice. The in vivo acute toxicity test indicated that both extracts did not cause mortality. The 4-day test revealed that the 80% methanol and aqueous extracts exhibited significant inhibition of parasitemia compared to negative control. The maximum level of chemo suppression (60.2%) was exhibited at 400 mg/kg dose of 80% methanol extract. Moreover, the 80% methanol extract showed a significant attenuation of anemia associated with infection in a dose-dependent manner. The aqueous extract, on the other hand, exhibited a percent inhibition of 51.1% at the highest dose (400 mg/kg/day). The present study indicated that hydromethanolic and aqueous bark extracts of T. brownii possess a promising antimalarial activity.

Nurses are expected to provide healthcare services in the settings of out-of-hospital facilities, such as evacuation shelters, especially in countries like Japan which are particularly vulnerable to intensifying natural disasters. Thus, it is important for nursing students to learn to conduct management of environmental health and physical health outside the hospital settings. Across subjects, students repeatedly studied basic knowledge about the environment and the body related to healthcare in their second and third years. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects and challenges of repeatedly learning basic healthcare standards across lessons.
