(10 points): This information is important to society, because it is making people aware of the severity of air pollution.                                                                                                                                                                          What HCW’s are involved, or impacted by this this information? (10 points): Many HCW'S are involved/ impacted by this, because the pollutants can cause harm to children's developing lungs and can actually cross the blood-brain barrier and permanently damage their developing brains. Some of these HCW'S include primary care providers, nurses, and respiratory therapists.                                                                                                             Summary of article (DO NOT PLAGERIZE) (50 points): According to UNICEF, air pollution has become a major problem regarding the health of children. Nearly 600,000 children under the age of five, including the unborn, die yearly from diseases cause by air pollution. These pollutants are especially harmful to children and unborn children, because they are still developing. Studies show that exposure to high levels of pollution results in a greater risk of fetal loss, premature births and lower birthrates.
UNICEF is working on reducing the amount of air pollution around the world to potentially save the lives of many children. They ask that people take four steps to help lower these rates. the first step is to reduce fossil fuel combustion and invest in energy efficiency. The next step is to increase children's access to health care, including more immunization programs and information programs about pneumonia, a leading killer of children under the age of 5. The third step is to minimize children's exposure to air pollution by keeping schools away from factories. The final step that the UNICEF suggests is to improve air pollution monitoring. Though it is impossible to completely eliminate air pollution, there are simple ways to help minimize it, and improve the health of youngsters all over the world.                                                                      10 points – Instructor discretion (organization, relevance)                                                                                     10 points - Commenting on peers article                                                                                                                      Instructor Comments

Another topic discussed in this article is to not share your personal items. Any items that would fall under this category would be if you were a diabetic you wouldn't share your needles with anyone for the risk or catching hepatitis.

Date Of Article: August 30, 2016

What did i find interesting about this article? According to the article "They also found that death rates of people with SCD between ages 5-74 years are higher than those of African Americans in California and Georgia or those of people in the general population in these states." which interested me being that I am half African American.

Why is this information important to society? This information is important to society because it aware's African Americans of the death rates of people with sickle cell which gives reason for African Americans to make sure to be checked of this disease as it has a high percentage within their race affected by it.

What HCW'S  are involved, or impacted by this information? All health care workers are impacted by this information, but mainly health care workers in the states of Georgia and California and those who have African American patients.  Great article - provide specific examples of HCW's that are involved in the care of Sickle cell pt's. Proud of You !!!

Summary Of Article: This article discusses new death rate estimates, how the study is done, the findings of the study, and the future directions of sickle cell patients death rate. The article states that researchers have found higher death rates of people with sickle cell disease than ever before. The article says that the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded the  RuSH project, which is a population-based monitoring study that collects data on people with sickle cell in the states of California and Georgia from 2004-2008. By collecting this data and using multiple diverse sources of data helped the researchers gather information about those in previous researches who may not have been included. By being able to have access to the data of those who were possibly not included before helped researchers find out that the average age of death of a sickle cell patient is about 43 in females and 41 for males. This finding also showed that out of 12,143 615 people with sickle cell who live in California and Georgia, nearly half did not have the sickle cell disease  listed as a cause of death on their death certificate. Furthermore, it not only gave a more accurate picture of age at death among people with sickle cell but also gave research using multiple sources of data from additional states, spanning additional years, is necessary in order to better understand how and when people with sickle cell die.
Instructor Notes: I read your article twice and was still a little confused about the correlation of Sickle cell disease and the african american populations in georgia and california and the death certificates. Second, are you stating that the cause of death documented on pt's death certificates was sickle cell disease and these pt's did not have the disease?? Thirdly, when writing about the disease you always need to define that disease for your audience. You cant assume that people know what Sickle cell disease is and how it affects the body.]]> 2016-11-03 00:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_pethke/c3g4ep9qisqg/wish/134961334 maddie_nobles13 https://padlet.com/amber_pethke/c3g4ep9qisqg/wish/134966002

comment:
Breast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue. Signs of breast cancer may include a lump in the breast, a change in breast shape, dimpling of the skin, fluid coming from the nipple, or a red scaly patch of skin. Breast cancer death rates have been going down. Most women come out of treatment not as fighters anymore but warriors.

The weight gain due to stress could possably be an explanation why so many people i know gain weight even though they dont eat often, because of stress. I have never really paid much attention to my weight, but now I definitely be more obversant.

This.informatuon is important to society due to many people running risk of catching HIV, therefore getting tested is very important.

What HCW's are involved, or impacted by this information?
Medical therapists provide HIV therapy and Doctors that specialize in infectious disease control can test you for HIV.

Summary of article: My article discussed how over 1.2 million people in the U.S have HIV aswell  as 156,300 of them not knowing. HIV can lead to Tuberculosis, Lymphoma, Kaposis garcoma, CMV, etc. knowing if you have HIV is not only important to your own health but aswell as not spreading to anyone else. This is why getting tested for HIV is so important.
You can be tested for HIV by contacting your Doctor or Physician and setting up an appointment. Testing for HIV is very accurate, however no test can detect HIV in the earliest of stages. The amount of time determining wether the infection can be detected determines on the
type of HIV and or the test being used. HIV testing is important to yours and others health, therefore you should treat testing for HIV as serious as the situation truly is.

The Zika virus is a virus you get from mosquitos. The Zika virus effects anybody who can catch it (though it comes from mosquitos). A good way to prevent getting it is to put on bug spray to keep mosquitos away. If pregnant the Zika virus can affect the baby, possibly cause death if the mother is not treated. Health care workers are involved by this information because they would need to know what treatment to give, what signs show that it's the Zika virus. They could also be the ones who can catch the virus. ]]> 2016-11-09 18:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_pethke/c3g4ep9qisqg/wish/136502605 amber_pethke https://padlet.com/amber_pethke/c3g4ep9qisqg/wish/137159631 2016-11-12 23:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/amber_pethke/c3g4ep9qisqg/wish/137159631
