Abstract

Is it good for children and what’s the relationship to autism 

New researchers had concluded that autism is in fact related to the excessive immunization usage in USA

There are many publications on the subject. Autism was never heard of in the past And why there’s a huge increase in USA of autistic children. As a grandparent for two autistic children, and a researcher as well I decided to investigate this matter, without being involved in the political issues linked with it
Last dive into the discussion in the next conference 11th global webinar

Abstract

About 15 % of women in high income countries, and up to double that in low income countries, suffer from depression and anxiety during pregnancy. This can have effects on the developing fetus and longer term on the child, especially on neurodevelopment. If the woman is in the top 15% for symptoms of anxiety or depression during pregnancy, her child has double the risk of a probable mental health disorder later, after allowing for a wide range of confounders. There is an increased risk of ADHD, conduct disorder, being on the autistic spectrum and cognitive problems.  Stress from other factors such as abuse from her partner can also have such long term effects on the child.  We are starting to understand the biological mechanisms that may underlie such fetal programming.  There can be alterations in the function of the placenta in response to prenatal stress, that allows more cortisol to pass from mother to fetus, and this can alter the development of the fetal brain.

It is thus very important to detect symptoms of depression and anxiety during pregnancy as well as other forms of stress, such as from partner violence, and intervene to help. Health professionals, family, friends and employers can all play a part. Antidepressants can be safe and helpful if appropriate. But many other interventions can help too such as talking therapies. Recent research is showing that music may help, and be especially useful in low income countries where professional help may not be available.

Abstract

Introduction : Disaster Medical support planning is a process of disaster medical support plan development. The objective of this process is to optimize the established medical support system organization preparedness and training, to prepare sufficient amount of medical and technical equipment, to establish medical teams of different levels of readiness and to assure means for rapid medical reaction in case of disaster.

This study analyzes the main principles of disaster medical support planning along with the main types of activities, the time frame and expected results. 

Materials and Methods : By the means of the descriptive method the main requirements to one disaster medical support plan are analyzed. These requirements are compared to the activities to be performed to obtain the expected results.

Results and discussion:  Based on the analyses it is noted that the disaster medical planning is a continuous process of updating the contingency plan for disaster medical support prior the disaster and to transform it into the operational plan when the disaster is imminent or has already occurred. The pivotal role of medical intelligence, communication and coordination are also highlighted as a conclusion of this study

Abstract

      “Climate” can be defined as the prevailing or average weather of a place as determined by temperature, precipitation, wind rose, glaciation, frequency of inversion, extreme weather events such as cyclones, tornadoes, cloud burst, typhoons, and hurricanes and environmental quality such as air, water and land quality. Long term variations in average temperature are the most important variables and attributes of climate change.    Sanitation impact assessment (SIA) process is proposed.  Sanitation arrangements and systems have to protect public health, especially provision of clean drinking water and the disposal of sewage. To make hygienic conditions, climate change and control in urban and rural environmental study and check has been done.   Globally competent and locally relevant climate change and control models have been devised. Key Change in weather conditions occur in an area over a long period of time such as temperature, humidity, dew point, pressure, volume, wind rose, air movement, photo chemical smog and sunlight energy (photo energy) due to biogenic and anthropogenic activities. Climate change is an evolution in the degree of certainty by biogenic and anthropogenic activities in causing the past half century’s rapid rise of 1.1℃ in global average surface temperature of 14.9 ℃ from 13.8 ℃ , and climate sensitivity factor of 0.5 ℃ / W/m2 and net radiating force of 0.9-1.7  W/m2 , since mid-twentieth century is due to the observed increase in biogenic and anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, the Antarctic and Greenland ice cores, sea floor sediments, glacial movements, changes in ice volume and sea volume and fossil pollen microorganisms. Global warming is the most important environmental challenge for the twenty first century. The climate change and control can be defined as the power to limit and regulate climate change as per sustainable environmental pollution and control standards. The ‘greenhouse effect’ is one of the environmental problems that have resulted either directly or indirectly from the biogenic and anthropogenic activities. The role of the human population on social and environmental change is given by the equation. I = P X A X T X E X S where the impact ‘I’ of the population on the social and environmental results from the size of the population (P) , the per capita affluence or consumption (A) and the environmental damage  by the technologies (T) employed to supply  each unit of consumption , E is environment and S is Sustainability . As ‘P’ increases so too does ‘T’ because supplied to additional people that must be mined from deeper ores, pumped from deeper deposits, transportation further. The per Capita consumption of energy in a nation can be used as a surrogate for the A X T part of from clearing forests for agriculture to mining, industrial, manufacturing, sanitation, road building and extraction of fossil fuels. The magnitude of greenhouse effect of earth is Ts minus Te, where Ts is actual surface temperature of earth (288 K) and the Te is the earth’s “effective and efficient” blackbody radiation temperature of minus 19 ℃ (254 K) . The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon due to biogenic and anthropogenic sources of a number of gases and aerosols that is responsible for earth having an average surface temperature 34℃ warmer that is 288 K Versus 254 K that it would have if it did not have radiatively active gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. As every doubling of logarithmic emission function and process of CO2 in to the atmosphere, the global warming surface temperature goes up of 3 ℃ , climate  sensitivity factor 1 ℃ / W/m2 and net radiating force 2-4 W/m2.  It is important to necessary to conduct climate impact assessment (CIA) process to systematically identify and evaluate potential impacts (effects), risks and options for adaptation resilience and mitigation of biogenic and anthropogenic climate change and document as climate research and development ( R &D) papers. Three of the most significant terms of CIA process are “climate inventory,” “climate impact assessment”, and “climate impact statement”.

    The past three decades have been characterized by passage of the Environmental (Protection) Act (EPA) including Acts on control of water and air pollution, solid- and -hazardous waste management, resource protection and soil and groundwater remediation. In addition to EPA, the community strategies were adopted for sustainable development to address climate change, acidification, and air quality, protection of nature and biodiversity, management of water resources, the urban and rural environment, coastal zones and waste management .  It is to be ensured that the balanced planning and decision-making process needed regarding the sustainable environmental and climate development in the public interest.

    Project planning and decision-making process should include the integrated consideration of technical, economic, environmental, social and climate and other factors. The most of important of these considerations can be referred to as “three E s ” (Engineering or technical, Economics, and Environment ” in project planning and decision making process. Prior to environmental impact assessment (EIA) process or “Magna Carta for the Environment” , Engineering or technical and economic factors can be referred to as “ two  E s ” dominated the  project planning and decision-making process.  Traditional organizations typically management according to the functions in vertical organizational charts. However, when interactions and interrelations occur among parts of a systems that is among functions and departments it is required to manage as per process in horizontal organization charts. A system of profound knowledge provides efficient organizational planning and decision-making process for the management of parts in isolation and process of cross functional boundaries including optimization of climate change process that is fulfil our common goal or vision of integration of development and environment. “Climate Impact Assessment” (CIA) process.      CIA process can be defined the systematic identification and evaluation of the potential impacts (effects) of proposed projects, plans, programs, or legislation actions relative to the physical-chemical, biological, cultural and socioeconomic components of the total environment and climate. The primary purpose of the CIA process, is to encourage the consideration of the environment and climate factors in planning and decision-making process and to arrive at actions which are environmentally and climate wise compatible.    The climate health impacts of projects, programs, plans, polices, or legislative actions should be considered in the decision-making process because of the importance of these concerns, particularly post COVID world, a climate health impact assessment (CHIA) process is proposed. For certain types of projects such as biogenic plants and nuclear power plants, it may be necessary to address psychological impacts and damages of mental health on human, animals and plants.      The emphasis is to given in conduction of primary, secondary and tertiary climate impact studies on the physical-chemical and biological climate (natural or biophysical climate environment) and cultural and socioeconomic environment (man-made climate environment).     The global agreements that were adopted on various key issues such as climate change, biodiversity, tropical forests, and sustainable development, Viz., Law of the Seas (1954), Stockholm Declaration (1972), Montreal Protocol (1987), Kyoto Protocol (1987), Rio declaration (1992) and The Paris Agreement (2015).

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to fundamentally reshape how international patients discover and select healthcare facilities, presenting both significant challenges and strategic opportunities for medical tourism providers. As conversational AI increasingly supplants traditional search engines, healthcare facilities must adapt to a paradigm shift in patient acquisition channels. These sophisticated systems can now provide personalized healthcare recommendations, effectively bypassing conventional marketing intermediaries and directly connecting patients with specific providers or institutions. This disintermediation threatens the historically significant role of social networks and interpersonal recommendations in health tourism decision-making. Simultaneously, AI-powered content generation tools have dramatically reduced barriers to creating professional digital assets, precipitating market saturation with high-quality marketing materials that diminish the differentiating value of digital presence alone. Healthcare facilities seeking to maintain competitive advantage in international patient attraction must develop multifaceted strategies that acknowledge AI's dual role as disruptor and enabler. Success will require determining how to work with AI platforms to ensure accurate representation, creating genuinely distinctive service offerings resistant to commoditization, and leveraging AI's capabilities to identify and engage micro-segments of international patients with highly specific clinical needs. As AI continues to evolve, medical travel providers must balance technological adaptation with the human-centered care experiences that remain foundational to international healthcare decision-making.

Abstract

An analysis of data on women's empowerment and gender inequalities in health related to five (Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa) of the ten countries under BRICS, suggests a partial link between women's empowerment and gender inequalities in health. Political participation of women is yet to yield results in terms of bridging gender inequalities in health, while economic and social empowerment have a stronger link.  The presentation argues that in addition to women's empowerment, public health expenditure has to increase, and out- of-pocket spending has to come down and the number of health providers has to increase. Further, multi-dimensional poverty remains a concern in some countries, as well as growing income inequalities.  These affect gender inequalities in health, as much as women's empowerment., though pathways vary across countries. .

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common injury that can cause lasting cognitive and neurological impairments. One of the most complex cases of such damage is that of the protagonist in the novel “La chica de la parada mental. No pierdas el tren” (Torres-Caro, 2023), who, after suffering an accident 18 years ago that left her in a coma, wakes up with complete amnesia of her past, known as post-traumatic amnesia (PTA). However, it is 13 years later when she begins to experience short-term memory loss. This dual impairment plunges her into a constant struggle to understand her surroundings, exacerbated by recurrent episodes of déjà vu. This study explores the relationship between déjà vu episodes and TBI, particularly in patients with chronic injuries and severe brain damage like those faced by the protagonist. Using a qualitative methodology based on the analysis of the cited novel, case studies and specialized literature are also reviewed to analyze how damage to brain areas, such as the temporal lobe, may predispose individuals to these experiences. Other symptoms, such as dissociation and suicidal thoughts, are also considered, as expressed in phrases like "Parece como que podría ‘morir’ ahora, como muchas veces antes había deseado. Nadie se daría cuenta." (Torres-Caro, 2023, p. 110).

In these patients, amnesia and déjà vu episodes may be linked to dysfunction in neural connectivity, undetected epileptic seizures, or even a distorted perception of reality. The mind struggles to process the environment, submerging the individual in a state of confusion. This lack of clear processing creates a disconnection from reality, worsening feelings of emptiness and hopelessness, and contributing to the emergence of suicidal ideation. These findings highlight the need to further investigate the relationship between TBI, déjà vu episodes, memory loss, and suicide risk in order to develop more effective and personalized intervention strategies for patients with memory disorders resulting from trauma.

Biography

Laura Torres Caro is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Málaga (UMA), Spain, where her research bridges the fields of Medicine and Literature. Her PhD thesis is uniquely centered on her own published novel, The Girl of the Mental Stop. Do not miss the train (Torres- Caro, 2023), which serves as a foundation for her investigation into her personal experience with a neurological illness after many years of a coma state that was diagnosed with considerable delay. This innovative approach allows her to explore the interplay between narrative and neurological conditions, contributing to the growing field of illness narratives and the role of personal storytelling in understanding the lived experience of medical conditions. Laura's academic journey began with English teaching studies at Maria Inmaculada (CAMMIA), Spain, followed by a master's degree in bilingual teaching from Francisco de Vitoria University in Madrid. Her expertise in bilingual education has been applied in various educational settings, including seven years as a teaching assistant in the United Kingdom. Since 2017, she has been actively teaching English in various Spanish schools, where she combines her pedagogical experience with her deep understanding of language acquisition. Beyond her novel, Laura has published two chapters in scientific books that delve into her interdisciplinary research, with a third chapter and a scientific article currently under review. Her scholarly work reflects her commitment to combining personal experience with academic inquiry, using her unique perspective to contribute to discussions around delayed diagnosis and neurological conditions in the context of literature and education. Her research offers valuable insights into how personal narratives can inform scientific understanding, particularly in the realm of patient-centered care and medical humanities, particularly in how personal narratives can illuminate scientific understanding of memory, neurological disorders, and patient-centered care.
