Furthering the One Health Mission:: Template for Establishing Student-Run One Health Groups on College Campuses.

Introduction: Although it has been well-established that animal health and environmental health impact human health, there is a lack of inclusion of One Health in the education of medical and undergraduate students. Most students, in fact, are not aware of the One Health initiative.

Rationale: Due to the fundamental lack of One Health knowledge across all involved disciplines but particularly healthcare fields, educating students at the institutional level is desirable to provide early exposure.

Symptomatic menopause: Additional challenges for incarcerated women.

Menopause is an age-associated physiological transition in women, usually occurring between the ages of 40 and 58 years, with an average of 51 years. As the age of women residing in the prison system is increasing globally, it becomes increasingly important for older female inmates to be assessed for menopausal symptoms and offered effective, personalized management. Middle-aged and older women, regardless of their living situation, are at increased risk of experiencing vasomotor symptoms and developing pelvic floor problems, bladder dysfunction and osteoporosis.

Surface nanobubbles on the rare earth fluorcarbonate mineral synchysite.

Surface nanobubbles have been identified to play an important role in a range of industries from mineral processing to food science. The formation of surface nanobubbles is of importance for mineral processing in the extraction of complex ores, such as those containing rare earth elements. This is due to the way minerals are extracted utilising froth flotation.

Surface nanobubbles on the carbonate mineral dolomite.

Surface nanobubbles are of wide interest to a number of research fields, ranging from mineral processing to metamaterials. Their formation on hydrophobic surfaces has long been confirmed but the factors controlling their size and location are less well understood. In this work we investigate, using non-contact atomic force microscopy, the properties of surface nanobubbles on the mineral dolomite under three aqueous solutions; water, depressant and collector.

Numerators and denominators of rates estimated on the basis of physicians' practice data.

The paper discusses selected methodological aspects of numerators and denominators derived from medical practice observations. The estimation of rates (of incidence or prevalence) on the basis of primary care practice data is apt to be influenced by several methodological factors. These are: morbidity of the local population, physician workload and expertise, diagnosis coding rules, and patient visiting behavior (Anderson, 1984).

[Frequency of medical consultation as reflected in 2 representative surveys: DHP-Survey and EVaS-Study (German Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Survey of Ambulatory Care)].

The frequency of patient-doctor contacts in outpatient care is determined via two representative inquiries supplying complementary perspectives. They concern, on the one hand, a sample of contacts in the consultation room, and, on the other hand, contacts as stated in a population-based survey. In the 25-69 years age bracket, both surveys yielded a contact incidence of 2 to more than 5 contacts per person and quarter of a year.

Ambulatory care: France, Federal Republic of Germany, and United States.

This study describes the results of a comparison of ambulatory medical care data for France, the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), and the United States of America (U.S.).

Integrating health-related data from various sources: combining surveys, records and routine data.

The paper discusses the necessity of combining data from various sources in order to enhance their usefulness for a variety of applications. As future data use can hardly be forseen in advance, major data sets in health services should fulfill several formal requirements in order to make them suitable for future linkage. These formal requirements are that there be references to defined populations, to specific persons, to defined time periods, to specific places or regions.

[Determining the health status of a population: role and quality of survey questions].

Measuring population health levels: role and quality of interview data. Role and quality of interview data are examined with respect to their importance for the measurement of population health levels. Starting from general information requirements in health services, the contribution of population survey data is described.

Health care: an international comparison of perceived morbidity, health services resources, and use.

Selected summary findings from the World Health Organization/International Collaborative Study of Medical Care Utilization are presented, based on data collected during a twelve-month period in 1968-1969 in twelve study areas in seven countries in the Americas and Europe. A household interview survey of almost 48,000 persons, representing a total population of about 15 million, elicited information on demographic characteristics, on perceptions of illness, its severity and character, and on attitudes toward and use of major components of health services. Information was also collected on the prevailing health care systems and resources available to the study population, as well as on socioeconomic characteristics of the study areas.

Medicaid, morbidity, and physician use.

Medical programs which provide services for low-income persons who have high medical needs have been criticized for high costs and have raised questions about overuse of physician services. A Baltimore SMSA household interview of use of health services permitted comparison of use of physician and preventive services controlled for morbidity by Medicaid recipients and two other income groups. Medicaid recipients were sickest and had higher physician use.
