The world is facing crisis of poor sanitation not having access to improved sanitation
What could be key issues to address poor access to improved sanitation?
What could be potential issues for research to fill the gap in sanitation?
The impact of Vaccines on the Global Economy and their Ecological Aspects is a subject that I propose, in parallel with other topics to discuss here. We should look at it from their manufacture process, cost of research and development to their delivery, and outcomes / results.
It is a public health protection process but it has tow aspects attached to it
1) the Economic
2) the Ecologic
Are any other aspects that we can consider to evaluate the roll of the vaccines?
What about the possible negative impact upon public health as the time goes by, side effects of unknown nature ?

I wish to learn bit more on these fascinating topics from fellow members
The rather deterministic terms "social determinants" confuses some people. It has come to be accepted as a useful label for failure of health strategies to improve chronic disease outcomes. Not only that. It points to the crucial role of poverty and lack of economic development as prime causes of chronic health problems. The issues that it raises have been treated cursorily by 'medicalised' health systems.

I am trying to find information about dementia/alzheimer's research and treatment in Hungary and if possible, some doctors specialising in same. If anyone out there knows doctors in Hungary who specialise or have a major interest in the subject please let me know.
How does the virus know that it does need to mutate or is it just random? Are there known internal factors within the living organism are the direct cause for mutations?
Why does a substitution in nucleotide base pairs take place?
Or perhaps non living mater that is near by as part of the life support medium of the living organism?
I’ve been asking myself for a long time and perhaps many others still are interested in the Virus mutation mechanisms, more like the factors that produce such event(s). Here, also as branching out the question, I propose to discuss about the biological transmutation of elements phenomenon.
Enzymes suffer transformations, modifications, mutate. Viruses do mutate.
There are mechanisms, the internal or some external clocks and / or some physical events with chemical reactions implications that take place I believe.
Are isotopic activities possible factors to trigger virus mutations? Is it the same for enzymes?
Perhaps we should look at it closer to be able to identify not only possible triggers but also to better understand the mechanisms that mutations take place in their complexity.
Or perhaps we have a combination of isotopic activity and other activities that interact?
If any isotopic activity is involved, what are the isotopes we may talk about or have under observation? What are the atoms we may look closer at?
What is known, proved or at least of hypothetical nature in this area of concern?
I hope I made myself understood as is not really my line of specialty.
Thanks to all members in advance and perhaps we can work something out, a research project may be borne out of this as team work? It is multidisciplinary complex subject that perhaps is worthwhile to try to unveil.

I have 40 years of research experience in this terrain starting with the classic 1971 NHIS survey which pioneered the Gallaudet Hearing Ability Scale, the only valid measure of the inability to hear and understand speech. Use of subjective self-report questions in 18 federal databases always lead to mis-estimating the number of deaf and hard of hearing persons. Among all published estimates 95% are inaccurate, due to many reasons such as shoddy literature reviews and pretense of expertise.
These mis-estimates mislead program managers, policy makers, and consumer advocates needing accurate information on target groups to best plan, budget, and staff services during a time of harsh economic demands.

USAMV Cluj-Napoca is the first in Romania to promote the NON-SMOKING CAMPUS.
I ask you to help me to PROMOTE A NON-SMOKING POLICY ON YOUR UNIVERSITY CAMPUS. You are a student, professor, in the senate, please lets VOTE FOR NON SMOKING ON CAMPUS. PROHIBIT SMOKING on campus.
No special places for smoking. No special treatment for smokers.
We can’t construct professionals without educating citizens. Life needs to be protected. Public health needs protection.
We should promote Life and Health. Besides the Human Condition positive results, we reduce resources consumption resulting to a positive Global Economy, to a Sustainable Development and furthermore to overall Ecological Protection.
Please see the article attached available in Files folder of this group.
FILE NAME: USAMV Newsletter 21 tipar Cluj Napoca - Romania - Feb 2011 - cut version- Stop Smoking by ATW see pg15
ARTICLE TITLE:
STOP FUMATULUI LA USAMV CLUJ-NAPOCA, în UNIVERSITĂŢILE din ROMÂNIA şi ORIUNDE în LUME
Pentru o Românie şi o dezvoltare durabilă
EN ) Stop Smoking within USAMV Cluj-Napoca and All Romanian University campuses and Anywhere in the World – for a Sustainable Romania and Development
We can not build one way and destruct the other ways. Education must be sustainable only this way we can hope for sustainable developments, for economic stability and environmental protection.
The article is in Romanian language and is attached to the file folder (please see page 15 of the publication).
The English abstract is enclosed here:
ABSTRACT:
The article is in Romanian language and it marks the beginning of Stop Smoking campaign within the University campuses in Romania, starting with the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. It encourages students and professors to stop smoking on the campus and anywhere. The essential purpose of an educational institution, of a university is to prepare professionals. USAMV Cluj-Napoca being a Life Sciences University has a more accentuated obligation not to only research Life Sciences but also to protect Human Life and its Human Condition. Healthy professionals are a better, sustainable investment.
Stopping smoking assures public health, reduces public expenditures and wasted natural resources. Therefore, smoking has a huge negative impact upon the Global Ecological and Economical problems given the inter-dependence of resources and of the negative outcomes of tobacco consumption. The article is also an invitation to observe 31-st of May as the „Make Every Day World No Tobacco Day” initiated recently by the World Health Organization (WHO). The article calls for initiating in Romania such campaign and the 31-st of May to be a day to celebrate the success.
To mention sadly, it is very difficult to lunch an initiative in Romania.
The article in essence, using Romanian language says: Recent, Organizaţia Mondială a Sănătăţii (WHO), a declarat 31 Mai a fi ziua Mondială împotriva fumatului. Numită „FĂ FIECARE ZI ZIUA MONDIALĂ FĂRĂ TUTUN,.” USAMV Cluj-Napoca poate pre-întâmpina ziua de 31 mai dând un exemplu în rândul universităţilor din România.
I invite readers (and members of this group) to take a stand and send to the University an email or even better a paper letter via regular / registered mail and express your point of view. It is a beginning of a major project and I need any possible support from allover the World and from Romania as well.
It is not a domestic concern; it is not a National concern. It has a Global Impact as the borders that divide us are just symbolic.
Thank you,
Adrian Toader-Williams

IS THE “PRESENT DEFINITION, DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT OF FEVER”
REFLECTS ONLY A PART OF FEVER?
Contemporary fever definition refers to just an elevation in body temperature. So the diagnosis of fever is limited to measuring temperature with thermometers and treating of fever completes with heat reduction methods. Based on this approach, can it give a satisfactory explanation to the following questions about fever?
• As we are aware, there will be more heat on the body during fever. But when we cover our body with a non-conductor of heat, like blankets during fever, we feel comfortable. (By exposed to sun light for some time, it can increase the body temperature. If we cover our body with a blanket, we will feel discomfort.) Why?
• During fever the body heat increases, but our body is involved in many heat increasing activities like, increased heart beat, shivering, etc. Why?
• Why the symptoms like fatigueness of mind and body, lack of appetite, lack of taste for food, decrease in motion, dislike of cold items, etc. are common in almost all fever patients?
As the current fever definition, diagnosis and treatment covers only a part of fever-“temperature”, none of the above questions can be answered. So we should have to rethink/analyse the fever definition, diagnosis and treatment.
• Fever is not just a mere increase in temperature. In some fever there is no increment in temperature at all (e.g.: Inner fever). There may not be any increment in temperature in the beginning and ending days of fever. The Increment in temperature is just a part of the fever.
• Fever consists of increased temperature, fatigue to mind and body, shivering of muscles, reduced appetite, reluctance to cold items, liking of warmth by covering the body, reduced motion, indigestion, etc.
• When we correlate and compare the definition, diagnosis and treatment of fever, with the *rudimentary knowledge, we can find that there is no scientific base. It necessitates comprehensive approach to the fever. After observation and practice for a long time, we have developed a fever definition, diagnosis and treatments, which can explain all queries related with fever. It correlates the messages from our body, matching with scientific approach and our traditional/conservative knowledge.
So we can arrive at a new definition for fever. “When the body or its parts are affected with some fatigue, it undergoes a self defence mechanism that allows it to take rest and prevent the heat from further deterioration”.
(To prevent loss of heat from the body, heat is kept in different planes. It can be understood in a simple manner as the inner heat and the outer heat. The internal heat of the body or a part of it may decrease due to physiological, mental and circumstantial reasons. For maintaining proper health, a certain level of heat is mandatory. If the heat decreases than a certain level, it is fatal for the organ or the body and there is a threat for even life. So when we lose heat, body will watch it till a limit and then will initiate its life saving act. To avoid further loss from the existing heat of the body, rest is necessary. Body achieves rest, by making many difficulties for the normal functioning).
* “Our understanding of the neural basis of thermoregulation and fever is still rudimentary. The role of fever in the defence reaction is not clear. paracetamol may cause fever” (Page 159,160, 170)

Hi
I intend to work on the proposed project title "Epidemiological investigation of Newcastle Disease and Avian Influenza Disease in rural poultry".
what kind of help do you in conducting your research:
do you need some links for literature review, methodology....
Rural Medicine Research
Hi! I'm a new member in this group. I'd like to get collaboration with whom interested and doing rural medicine research.
Any standardized testing procedures for estimating injuries from joint damage. Looking for recognized sources or methods to help estimate functional losses.
I need help keeping the misuse of epidemiology from distorting factors in legal claims. An expert will site an epidemiological association to suggest a tight association for a single person. Can I use the S.E.M. of the dependent variable to show the low predictive power when applied to an individual?
Hello everyone...
Good to see like minded people on the board discussing public health. I belong to a developing country where public health training is in a nascent stage. So, I keep looking for online courses where I can upgrade my skills. I came across one such course by John Hopkins, which I would like to share with the group. The link is http://globaltobaccocontrol.org/. You can register for the course free of cost and the content is quite good. It would be particularly useful to the guys dealing with dental public health. If anyone knows other good online courses, kindly let me know....
Tooth decay, worlds most common disease
Prevention of tooth decay is easy. Like fissure sealants, block food from being trapped inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where 80% of cavities occur to prevent acid demineralisation.
Chew fibre like celery after eating to help saliva dilute carbohydrate like sugar, neutralise acid a d remineralise demineralised tooth
How safe is the life of a fever patient
in the hands of a physician
When fever is there, more heat is there on the body, Is n ’t it?
As there is more heat on the body during fever, if we cover our body with non-conductor of heat like blankets, it will cause discomfort. Is n’ t it?
As we are aware, there will be more heat on the body during fever. But when we cover our body with non-conductor of heat like blankets, during fever, we feel very comfort. Why we are not feeling discomfort?
During summer, as the outside heat increases, body feels discomfort. If we cover our body with a blanket during summer, we will feel discomfort. But when we do same during fever, we are comfortable. Why?
When the heat increase, during fever, our body is involved in heat increasing activities like, increased heart beat, shivering, etc
Why don‘t we feel like eating ice- cream when we have fever?
Why the symptoms of almost all fever patients are in common?
To find out answer for these questions, we have to understand why fever is coming to our body and what is happening during we cover our body with a blanket. If we can find out the answers to the above questions, we can very well understand the, ‘physics of fever
The physicians do not know much about the termo regulation of fever.They are still in rudimentary knowledge only.So there is no scientific base for their argument that the heat during fever has to driven out and their heat reduction methods.

Hi,
I am starting to explore better ways to use ResearchGate, not just for my benefit but to do something of value for others.
I will start posting some links to various papers, publications, presentations, and briefs, as well as joining in to different discussions.
I am looking for networking, and collaboration, and work (job(s)).
Certainly I am open to sharing ideas, critiques, comments, views, and helping others. To
me, everything does require an attitude of synergy and symbiosis in order for us to
succeed, as scientists, as people.
FYI, if anyone is interested, I just wrote up this summary:
These are URLs about me, some of what I am doing, including past, and also including
things that are "orthogonal" and obviously more directed at surviving in a "non-friendly
ecosystem" as far as science and especially exploratory and non-mainstream
("non-major-institutional/corporate") R&D.
---------------------------

and just about my background, http://tetradyn.com/professormd
I can do some things pro bono and voluntary, as part of a team, etc., to help advance the
general interests and causes of good research, solid science, improved education, and
better public understanding.
However, I also seek (need) work: part-time, temporary, full-time of course, in US and/or
anywhere in the world.

Dear Members,
Currently I'am working on molecular epidemiology of Cryptococcus gattii, an important human pathogen. this yeast causes life-threatening infection of the pulmonary and central nervous systems in hosts with normal immunity and traditionally has been considered to be restricted geographically to tropical and subtropical climates.
To date, for reasons that are not yet fully understood, C. gattii has acquired the ability to adapt to new climatic and geographic conditions, such as those existing in Canada, where this yeast has unexpectedly emerged as a primary pathogen causing, since 1999, infections mostly in immunocompetent individuals. Moreover, during the past years, several clinical autochthonous cases have also been described of patients who live in Mediterranean countries showing that this fungus is more widespread than was previously thought. However no environmental studies have been conducted to evaluate the diffusion of this yeast in these geographical areas.
To this day, after twenty years of investigations our laboratory isolated this fungus in Reggio Calabria, southern Italy (from Eucalyptus camaldulensis trees) that emphasize the observed global expansion of this pathogenic yeast.
I therefore invite all those who live in the Mediterranean area to start a collaboration with my laboratory to perform an important environmental study about the spread of this yeast.
I believe that this effort to determine the ecology and population dynamics of C. gattii in Europe might detect a different reality than that currently known regarding the epidemiology of this species.
You can simply participate in the study by sending me the environmental samples (Eucalyptus camaldulensis debris, including leaves and barks) from your country or if you are able you can recover this yeast from these samples in your lab by using conventional phenotypic methods and than share the results.
I hope many of you will participate in this study.
Anyone interested can contact me at oromeo@unime.it for further details.
I think it will be a wonderful (and productive) experience working with you.
Best Regards
