Because public health is a continually evolving field, it is essential to provide ample training opportunities for public health professionals. As a natural outgrowth of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Prevention Research Centers Program, training courses of many types have been developed for public health practitioners working in the field. This article describes three of the Prevention Research Center training program offerings: Evidence-Based Public Health, Physical Activity and Public Health for Practitioners, and Social Marketing. These courses illustrate the commitment of the Prevention Research Centers Program to helping create a better trained public health workforce, thereby enhancing the …

Potential Ecological Impact Of Diet Selectivity And Bison Herd Composition, Claudia Rosas, David Engle, James Shaw

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences (through 2013)

Behavioral segregation between the sexes of bison (Bas bison), coupled with artificially manipulated sex ratios of bison herds, might profoundly influence prairie ecosystems. Therefore, we measured carbon isotopes in hair collected from bison from the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in northeast Oklahoma to determine if adult male, adult female, and juvenile bison segregate on the basis of botanical composition of their diet. Sex ratio of bison herds in the Great Plains and behavioral differences between sexes were used to assess potential effects of sex ratio on tallgrass prairie. Botanical composition of diet differed among the three bison groups, in …

Exercise Habit Of Cardiac Patients After Phase Ii Cardiac Rehabilitation Programme, Winsome Yee-Man Mak, Wai-Kwong Chan, Sunny Chiu-Sun Yue, Eleanor Yee Wong Chan

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Objectives: To determine the exercise habit of patients who completed Phase II cardiac rehabilitation programme (CRP) from July 2002 to October 2003. Methods: Phone survey was conducted with patients who self-reported their exercise pattern. Type, frequency, duration, and intensity of exercise; exercise tolerance (ET) in terms of flight of stairs (FOS) achieved and walking distance on level ground, and pre-programme exercise habit were analysed. Results: Among 120 Phase II graduates, 107 patients responded to the survey. Ninety-five patients (70 males), aged 45-82, reported they did exercise weekly. Forty-six patients (48.4%) did not exercise regularly beforehand. Walking was the most common …

Cholera And Its Impact On Nineteenth-Centry Mormon Migration, Patricia Rushton

BYU Studies

Nineteenth-century migrants traveling across America suffered from many diseases as they journeyed to new homes in the West. The disease that was most common and caused the highest rate of illness and death was cholera. Historian Robert Carter notes, "It was a disease with which people were... familiar, yet it was little understood. It would strike suddenly, with no warning, often killing the victim within hours of the first symptoms. It was so uncontrollable that often entire families, even whole emigrating companies, would be wiped out." While cholera was not always fatal, it brought fear and suffering into the lives …

High-Frequency Phase Variation Of Vibrio Vulnificus 1003: Isolation And Characterization Of A Rugose Phenotypic Variant, Brenda L. Grau, Margaret C. Henk, Gregg S. Pettis

Faculty Publications

The marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus is a human pathogen that can spontaneously switch between virulent opaque and avirulent translucent phenotypes. Here, we document an additional form, the rugose variant, which produces copious biofilms and which may contribute both to pathogenicity of V. vulnificus and to its survival under adverse environmental conditions.

Fiat Money And The Natural Scale Of Government, Martin Shubik, Eric Smith

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The competitive market structure of a decentralized economy is converted into a self-policing system treating the bureaucracy and enforcement of the legal system endogenously. In particular we consider money systems as constructs to make agents’ economic strategies predictable from knowledge of their preferences and endowments, and thus to support coordinated resource production and distribution from independent decision making. Diverse rule systems can accomplish this, and we construct minimal strategic market games representing government-issued fiat money and ideal commodity money as two cases. We endogenize the provision of money and rules for its use as productive activities within the society, and …

Comparisons Between Rail-Trail Users And Nonusers And Men And Women's Patterns Of Use In A Suburban Community, Philip J. Troped, Ruth P. Saunders, Russell R. Pate

Faculty Publications

Background: Physical activity research on trails is limited. We compared rail-trail users and nonusers on demographics, physical activity, and barriers/concerns about trail use; and described use among men and women. Methods: Four hundred thirteen adults completed a physical activity survey during fall 1998. Chi-square statistics and t-tests were used to compare trail users to nonusers, and men and women on trail use. Results: More trail users (79%) performed recreational physical activity ≥ 3 d/wk, compared to nonusers (47%). Walking was the most common activity for trail users and nonusers. Both groups shared concerns about safe access to the trail …

Birth Anthropometric Parameters In High And Low Altitude Areas Of Southwest Saudi Arabia, Mohamed A. Al-Shehri, Mostafa A. Abolfotouh, Mohamed A. Dalak, Luke D. Nwoye

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: To study the anthropometric parameters of Southwestern Saudi newborns in Abha (a high altitude area) and Baish (a sea level area of Southwestern Saudi Arabia); to compare these parameters with those of the United States Center for Disease Control 2000 growth charts and to estimate the incidence of low birth weight (LBW) among the study population. METHODS: The study sample included all births from Abha Central Hospital (N=4300), and all births from Baish General Hospital (N=1200), Kingdom of Saudi Arabi during the period from January 2001 to January 2003. Only term births (>37-42 weeks gestation) were included. The …

Bench-To-Bedside Review: Rhabdomyolysis -- An Overview For Clinicians., Ana L Huerta-Alardín, Joseph Varon, Paul E Marik

Jefferson Hospital Staff Papers and Presentations

Rhabdomyolysis ranges from an asymptomatic illness with elevation in the creatine kinase level to a life-threatening condition associated with extreme elevations in creatine kinase, electrolyte imbalances, acute renal failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Muscular trauma is the most common cause of rhabdomyolysis. Less common causes include muscle enzyme deficiencies, electrolyte abnormalities, infectious causes, drugs, toxins and endocrinopathies. Weakness, myalgia and tea-colored urine are the main clinical manifestations. The most sensitive laboratory finding of muscle injury is an elevated plasma creatine kinase level. The management of patients with rhabdomyolysis includes early vigorous hydration.

Deja Vu All Over Again: The False Dichotomy Between Sanctity Of Life And Quality Of Life, Norman L. Cantor

Rutgers Law School (Newark) Faculty Papers

A longstanding contention of 'right to life' activists is that a quality of life ethic in end-of-life decisionmaking undermines a sanctity of life ethic. A surrogate decision to reject life-sustaining medical intervention -- as in the case of a permanently unconscious patient -- supposedly delivers a symbolic message contravening the intrinsic value of all human life. This paper argues that quality of life judgments are the only way to avoid transforming human beings into prisoners of medical technology. Under appropriate standards and review, caregivers must be able to end artificial intervention rather than keep pumping fluids and gases into moribund, …

Why Girls? The Importance Of Developing Gender-Specific Health Promotion Programs For Adolescent Girls, Amanda Birnbaum, Tracy R. Nichols

Department of Public Health Scholarship and Creative Works

Adolescence is a time when many girls begin to develop unhealthy behaviors that can affect myriad short- and long-term health outcomes across their lifespan.2There is evidence that smoking, physical activity, and diet are habituated during adolescence, and some physiologic processes of adolescence, such as peak bone mass development, have direct effects on future health.3-4 Establishing healthy practices, beliefs and knowledge among adolescent girls will decrease morbidity and mortality among adult women and potentially affect the health of men and children through women’s role as healthcare agents. This paper provides a brief review of lifestyle health behaviors among women and girls …
