Abortion And Animal Rights: Does Either Topic Lead To The Other?, Nathan M. Nobis Dec 2015

Abortion And Animal Rights: Does Either Topic Lead To The Other?, Nathan M. Nobis

Nathan M. Nobis, PhD

Should people who believe in animal rights think that abortion is wrong? Should pro-lifers accept animal rights? If you think it’s wrong to kill fetuses to end pregnancies, should you also think it’s wrong to kill animals to, say, eat them? If you, say, oppose animal research, should you also oppose abortion?
Some argue ‘yes’ and others argue ‘no’ to either or both sets of questions.The correct answer, however, seems to be, ‘it depends’: it depends on why someone accepts animal rights, and why someone thinks abortion is wrong: it depends on their reasons.

Background: Dengue is endemic throughout Cambodia, a country faced with significant health and economic challenges. We undertook a clinical study at the National Paediatric Hospital in Phnom Penh to evaluate clinical diagnostic parameters for dengue and predictors of disease outcome. Methods: Between September 2011 and January 2013, all consecutive inpatients aged between 1 and 15 years and presenting with suspected dengue were enrolled. They were clinically assessed using both the 1997 and 2009 WHO dengue classifications. Specimens were collected upon admission and discharge and tested for dengue at Institut Pasteur in Cambodia. Results: A total of 701 patients were screened. …

Eliminate Now: Seven Critical Actions Required To Accelerate Elimination Of Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria In The Greater Mekong Subregion, Andrew A. Lover, Roly Gosling, Richard Feachem, Jim Tulloch Dec 2015

Eliminate Now: Seven Critical Actions Required To Accelerate Elimination Of Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria In The Greater Mekong Subregion, Andrew A. Lover, Roly Gosling, Richard Feachem, Jim Tulloch

Andrew Lover

The emergence in 2009 of Plasmodium falciparum parasites resistant to the primary therapies currently in use (artemisinin-based combination therapy, ACT) in Southeast Asia threatens to set back decades of global progress in malaria control and elimination. Progress to date through multiple sets of initiatives and partners to contain or eliminate these parasites has been hampered due to a wide range of organizational, financial, and health systems-level challenges. In this commentary, a set of seven specific and concrete actions are proposed to directly address these issues and to accelerate P. falciparum elimination within the Greater Mekong Subregion to avert a wider …

Serological Evidence For Localized And Persistent Antibody Response In Zika Virus-Positive Neonates With Microcephaly (Brazil, 2015)- A Secondary Analysis, Andrew A. Lover Dec 2015

Serological Evidence For Localized And Persistent Antibody Response In Zika Virus-Positive Neonates With Microcephaly (Brazil, 2015)- A Secondary Analysis, Andrew A. Lover

Andrew Lover

A recent publication in The Lancet by Cordeiro and colleagues reported levels of IgM for Zika (ZIKV) and dengue (DENV) viruses in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 31 infants born with microcephaly in Brazil. 1 Their study suggests higher titers in CSF relative to serum in individual neonates, but no quantitative comparisons were reported. In this short report, the differences in antibody titers are quantified and compared between sample sources; across sampling periods; and between sample sources within individual neonates to more comprehensively understand these data to inform serological surveillance. These are statistically significant differences in ZIKV titers between …

Health Inequality: What Counselors Need To Know To Act, D. Jones, M. Tang Dec 2015

Health Inequality: What Counselors Need To Know To Act, D. Jones, M. Tang

David E. Jones

The United States is known as the land of opportunity. Many have immigrated to the United States hoping to find a better future. Among the developed countries, the United States is ranked 29th for inequality (Bezruchka, 2012). Furthermore, the gap has widened over the past decade (Blank, 2011). An individual’s social position can reveal much about their health trajectory. This social position is associated with an individual’s context—place matters (Subramanian, Jones, & Duncan, 2003). This paper examines the consequences of inequality that bring about persistent poor health outcomes using ecological counseling theory, Pierre Bourdieu’s theory, social determinants of health …

Advancing Health Promotion Pedagogy: A Multi-Step, Applied Health Promotion Classroom Project, Jennifer D. Irwin Phd Dec 2015

Advancing Health Promotion Pedagogy: A Multi-Step, Applied Health Promotion Classroom Project, Jennifer D. Irwin Phd

Jennifer D. Irwin

Courses that bridge health promotion scholarship with a demonstrative application of that scho- larship are potent and critical for future public health professionals. For senior students about to graduate from the Honors Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) Program at Western University (Ontario, Canada), my intention was to create a course experience that marries health promotion scholarship with a practical skill-set in line with constructivist learning approaches. This article outlines a multi-component, classroom-based, population health group project for senior students enrolled in an Advanced Health Promotion course. Since its inception, the course has hosted 562 students and has received an average …

ackground: Young children are prone to low levels of physical activity in childcare. Researchers have identified that preschoolers tend to be more active outdoors than indoors, with higher activity levels occurring during the first 10 minutes of outdoor playtime. Additionally, interventions incorporating either staff training or the inclusion of play equipment have been effective at increasing children’s activity in this setting. As such, the overarching objective of the Supporting Physical Activity in the Childcare Environment (SPACE) intervention is to improve the physical activity levels of preschoolers during childcare hours, utilizing a combination of the above components. The purpose of this …
