Document Summary

With public health, we are interested in the health of the entire population, not in the. Has a focus on stopping disease before it occurs in the first place, whereas medical health. Public health is very focused on policies and programs, whereas medical health is individual"s health is the treatment of diseases focused on an individual"s health. With public health, if we stop disease from happening, you don"t see that impact, whereas with medical health you can see the impact. Public health is focused on a community, so the government is making decisions, whereas with medical health, the patient has more of a say. Roof of the house describes the societal goals, values and services that are provided by the health care system. The power that goes into the house describes the sources of finances and the methods of determining how those finances are spent.

Correlation Between Human Body And Mind

Each affects the other, but it's much more complicated, above and below.

We tend to think of physical health as the physical fitness of the body. Physical health begins with genetics and nutrition, which feed the health of your cells and tissues, which create the health of your bodily organs, including your brain, and your bodily systems, including the sensory and another system of your body and brain.

Above the level of the physical brain, we have the mind, the 'thinking part' of the brain, and the thought patterns we encourage and discourage in our day-to-day living. The mind and the brain also give rise to your spirits, happy, sad, excited, elated, depressed, etc. And your mind interacts with other people around you, in your communities. This illustrates the hierarchy of life, and the hierarchy of healthcare: genetics, nutrients, cells, tissues organs, bodily systems, body, minds, spirits, and communities.

Every layer affects every other layer. You can eat foods that depress or excite your spirits. Some people are genetically happy most of the time. Others are genetically more somber. If your communities, the people you spend your time with are innovative, adventurous, you will become more innovative and adventurous, perhaps more risk-taking. If your community is more caring and sharing, your mental health will be more aligned to caring and sharing. If your brain loses oxytocin, due to a systemic or dietary problem, or a hereditary factor, you will be less sharing and caring.

So, When you improve your physical health, you tend to improve every layer in the hierarchy. And when you improve any layer in the hierarchy, you improve your mental health. If you improve your physical health, by working with your communities, there are more benefits. If you improve your physical health by eating a better diet, there are more benefits.

If you or your family member is suffering from a disease, you should get a medical bracelets. If they will be wearing a medical bracelet you will have peace of mind and will be able to focus on your work. In case of any medical emergency, it will alert the relevant team and share all the details regarding medical history. You can mention your contact number as an emergency contact number, so if anything happens they will contact you immediately.

An example of physical health impacts mental health is this that when we eat more junk food we tend to feel unnecessarily bored. Our mood changed frequently. We feel down. And when you do proper exercise and have good food you feel so much energy throughout the day.

So this is how physical and mental health is interrelated. So you should learn from your own experiences. When you do certain things you will get certain types of results, so accordingly change the cause if you don’t like the result.

Investigation of Possible Bioterrorism-Related Activity

Patient History:

A 38-year-old woman who resided in the Northeast was admitted to the hospital with fever, myalgia, and weakness, which progressed over 3 days to respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. On day 22, after 3 weeks of intensive care, the patient was still febrile. Cultures of blood were negative.

Hospital personnel interviewed family members who reported no history of traditional risk factors for fever of unknown origin (e.g., relevant food, infected animal contact, or travel history). On day 24, the patient's family reported to hospital personnel that the patient's illness might have been caused by exposure to laboratory flasks and cultures kept in her apartment by her boyfriend. He was described as a foreign national studying biology, but recently he had returned to his country of citizenship. On day 25, the patient's family brought laboratory flasks, Petri dishes, and culture media to the hospital from the patient's apartment. Several contained an unidentified clear liquid. The patientâs unresponsiveness and the acknowledged potential for some bacterial species to be used as bioterrorist agents raised concerns among the infection control staff that this case might be associated with a bioterrorist event or unintentional exposure to contaminated materials in the patient's home. The hospital contacted local law enforcement, the Department of Public Health, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the unusual circumstances surrounding the case.

On day 30, under the authority of state communicable disease statutes and in cooperation with the local police department, fire department, and hazardous materials unit, NHDHHS personnel entered the patient's apartment to assess any possibility of an ongoing public health hazard. Remaining flasks were removed and cultured. After 48 hours, growth of a translucent, pinpoint, and smooth colony appeared on blood agar and chocolate agar.

Gram stain of the colonies revealed faintly staining Gram-negative rods that were catalase positive, oxidase positive, and rapidly urea positive. On day 33, the patient began to get better after extensive antibiotic therapy.

Early detection is essential to ensure a prompt response to a biological terrorist event. Local public health authorities must rely on clinicians to recognize and report suspicious or unusual presentations of disease. However, correlating suspicious cases originating from diverse locations or discerning an increase in common presentations above the normal baseline is difficult. As in this case, public health practitioners coordinating disease surveillance may be able to receive reports of rare diseases and to determine whether they are occurring at a higher than normal rate in a large surveillance area.

The CDC, in collaboration with local, state, and territorial health departments, is enhancing existing disease surveillance systems for specific diseases that are normally rare in the United States but thought to have a high potential for public health impact if used as biological terrorism agents. This is being accomplished by improving training of clinical, laboratory, and public health personnel in recognizing suspicious disease presentations and by expanding of existing, disease-specific surveillance infrastructure. In addition, surveillance is being improved for disease presentations, such as acute respiratory distress, hemorrhagic, or meningeal symptoms normally caused by common infectious agents, but that could indicate an increase in illnesses caused by a biological agent used in terrorism. Surveillance mechanisms to rapidly assess changes in rates of disease include monitoring of calls to local emergency medical systems, regularly reviewing emergency department discharge diagnoses, and linking infection control practitioner networks.

Assignment:

For this case study, write a 1-page report that describes the possible agent of bioterrorism along with pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention. Include a brief discussion of sentinel labs and their role in recognizing potential episodes of bioterrorism.
