Global Health and the Future Role of the United States by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Board on Global Health,Committee on Global Health and the Future of the United States Pdf

While much progress has been made on achieving the Millenium Development Goals over the last decade, the number and complexity of global health challenges has persisted. Growing forces for globalization have increased the interconnectedness of the world and our interdependency on other countries, economies, and cultures. Monumental growth in international travel and trade have brought improved access to goods and services for many, but also carry ongoing and ever-present threats of zoonotic spillover and infectious disease outbreaks that threaten all. Global Health and the Future Role of the United States identifies global health priorities in light of current and emerging world threats. This report assesses the current global health landscape and how challenges, actions, and players have evolved over the last decade across a wide range of issues, and provides recommendations on how to increase responsiveness, coordination, and efficiency â€" both within the U.S. government and across the global health field.

Examining Relationships Between HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis Programs in Title I Eligible Metropolitan Areas by Maria J. Gold,Matthew McClain Pdf

In the United States, TB and HIV are widespread epidemics. The highest prevalence of both diseases remains concentrated in urban centers. While the total number of TB cases reported in the U.S. decreased by 6.4 percent from 1994 to 1995, cases increased among foreign-born persons. Since 1989, TB screening for all people infected with HIV has been the recommended standard of care. The Federal Government combats TB and HIV with direct assistance and financial support to State and local governments. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) administer separate Federal funding streams for HIV and TB respectively. Through HRSA's Title I programs and CDC's Division of TB Elimination programs, more than 230 separate funding agreements exist between the Federal Government and States, territories, and cities. Clearly, coordination and collaboration among HIV/AIDS programs and TB prevention and control programs at the local, State, and Federal levels are essential if there is to be an effective response to the increase in HIV-related TB. Yet, the extent to which these programs are working together to improve, expand, and coordinate services-and thus decrease the occurrence of TB-is largely unknown. HRSA initiated and funded this study to better understand relationships between HIV/ AIDS and TB programs in Title I eligible metropolitan areas.

Nutrition and HIV by Saurabh Mehta,Julia Finkelstein Pdf

The world continues to lose more than a million lives each year to the HIV epidemic, and nearly two million individuals were infected with HIV in 2017 alone. The new Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by countries of the United Nations in September 2015, include a commitment to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Considerable emphasis on prevention of new infections and treatment of those living with HIV will be needed to make this goal achievable. With nearly 37 million people now living with HIV, it is a communicable disease that behaves like a noncommunicable disease. Nutritional management is integral to comprehensive HIV care and treatment. Improved nutritional status and weight gain can increase recovery and strength of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, improve dietary diversity and caloric intake, and improve quality of life. This book highlights evidence-based research linking nutrition and HIV and identifies research gaps to inform the development of guidelines and policies for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. A comprehensive approach that includes nutritional interventions is likely to maximize the benefit of antiretroviral therapy in preventing HIV disease progression and other adverse outcomes in HIV-infected men and women. Modification of nutritional status has been shown to enhance the quality of life of those suffering HIV/AIDS, both physically in terms of improved body mass index and immunological markers, and psychologically, by improving symptoms of depression. While the primary focus for those infected should remain on antiretroviral treatment and increasing its availability and coverage, improvement of nutritional status plays a complementary role in the management of HIV infection.

Guidelines for the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis by World Health Organization Pdf

This 2011 update of Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant tuberculosis is intended as a tool for use by public health professionals working in response to the Sixty-second World Health Assembly's resolution on prevention and control of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. Resolution WHA62.15, adopted in 2009, calls on Member States to develop a comprehensive framework for the management and care of patients with drug-resistant TB. The recommendations contained in these guidelines address the most topical questions concerning the programmatic management of drug-resistant TB: case-finding, multidrug resistance, treatment regimens, monitoring the response to treatment, and selecting models of care. The guidelines primarily target staff and medical practitioners working in TB treatment and control, and partners and organizations providing technical and financial support for care of drug-resistant TB in settings where resources are limited.

AIDs and Tuberculosis by Daniel Chemtob,Joav Merrick Pdf

AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) have complex health and societal determinants with large impacts. Worldwide, the burden of these infectious diseases are huge, especially in the 22 countries with a high TB burden, where more than 80% of TB worldwide occurs and in sub-Saharan Africa, where 67% of the world's HIV/AIDS cases occurred. Despite different ways of transmission and the fact that several separate national programs often exist, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS are linked. They are often affecting similar population groups (e.g. vulnerable and other minorities groups) and HIV is the most potent risk factors in increasing the risk of progression from latent TB infection (LTBI) to disease among the two billions individuals estimated with LTBI worldwide, while the relative risk of HIV is more than 20. Therefore, it is crucial to combine and coordinate the efforts when addressing TB and HIV issues. Diverse responses have been developed, both at international and country levels for tackling the different health and social components of these diseases.

Guidance for National Tuberculosis Programmes on the Management of Tuberculosis in Children by World Health Organization Pdf

It is estimated that one third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB)), and that each year, about 9 million people develop TB, of whom about 2 million die. Of the 9 million annual TB cases, about 1 million (11%) occur in children (under 15 years of age). Of these childhood cases, 75% occur annually in 22 high-burden countries that together account for 80% of the world's estimated incident cases. In countries worldwide, the reported percentage of all TB cases occurring in children varies from 3% to more than 25%. The Stop TB Strategy, which builds on the DOTS strategy developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease, has a critical role in reducing the worldwide burden of disease and thus in protecting children from infection and disease. The management of children with TB should be in line with the Stop TB Strategy, taking into consideration the particular epidemiology and clinical presentation of TB in children. These consensus guidelines were produced to help the National Tuberculosis Programmes on the management of tuberculosis in children.
