Dr Harshini S

Introduction: Immunization coverage is the most important strategy adopted by child survival programs throughout the world. Adequate and quality immunization coverage plays a key role in controlling the outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases. It is very important to analyze the factors which acts as obstacle in achieving 100% immunization among children. Objectives: To assess the immunization coverage among children in Urban field practice area of MMC&RI, Mysuru. To identify the factors for failure of immunization. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out for assessment of immunization coverage in the field practice area of the Urban Health Training Center (UHTC) of MMC&RI, Mysuru using the WHO thirty clusters sampling method. The sample size was found to be 210. Identification of clusters was done as per WHO manual on 30Ã?7 cluster survey. Interview is being conducted by using a structured interview format in households with children. Data will be entered in MS Excel sheet and analysed using relevant statistical tests. Results & Conclusion: Analysis is ongoing, will be submitted in the conference. Keywords: Immunisation coverage, WHO 30 cluster sampling, Vaccine Preventable disease.

The technology for creating complex analgesic and antipruritic therapies on the basis of understanding of drugs' action mechanisms: in silico ? in vitro ? in vivo

Natalia Shestakova

Chronic pain and itch accompanies many pathological conditions, such as diabetes, chronic renal failure, and cancer. Clinical observations have shown that patients with chronic neuropathic pain or itch exhibit symptoms of increased anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment. Such patients need corrective therapy with antidepressants, antipsychotics or anticonvulsants. It is known that some psychotropic drugs are also effective for the treatment of neuropathic pain and pruritus syndromes due to interaction with the secondary molecular targets. We have created the technology for searching effective drugs among antidepressants, anticonvulsants and antipsychotics, which is based on the prescreening procedures by the structural selection criteria using methods of molecular modeling and the electrophysiological studies of the mechanisms of their interaction with secondary molecular targets involved in pain and itching relief pathways. Using the technology, we have been able to identify a number of drugs among psychotropics having analgesic and antipruritic efficacies and clinically confirm their effectiveness. We have developed and introduced into clinical practice the adjuvant analgesic and antipruritic therapies for patients with diabetes mellitus and with chronic renal failure. Recent Publications: 1.

Family Medicine Models in Jordan

Amjad Al Shdaifat

Abstract Primary care is the first gate for any successful health system, the strength of primary care will reflect the health of the population.The cornerstone of primary care is family medicine so many countries are searching for the ideal health system based on family medicine specialty, and as we have shortage of family medicine specialists globally and that shortage cannot be filled countries began to search for alternatives.And as Jordan has the same shortage of family medicine specialists they began to search for alternatives which may help improve primary care so we have many models of family medicine training.Family Medicine specialty residency program is the ideal form of family medicine, we have a well formed residency program at Ministry of health, where residents have 3 years training in hospital and the last year in a comprehensive health center with an established Scientific program, another residency program at universities: Jordan University and Jordan University of science and technology, also we have training program at Military services, all these produce about 10% of the country requirement of family medicine specialists.Another form is mixed online diploma of family medicine with cooperation with WHO and American University of Beirut, the program is for 9 months, untested and under development good alternative once validated and can build capacity of ordinary general practionners (GP) who cannot enroll in family medicine program but in its best, can enroll 10-20% of doctors.Another form is the one adopted by United Nations Relief and Working agency which is the family health approach in which they divided the working personnel in teams and each team is responsible for specific families, the clinics are leaded by ordinary GP and for the development of the staff they have done short course on family medicine and family medicine approach, then they began more professional training, online one year family medicine diploma. Result : Each Model has its advantages and shortages and need more evaluation studies.

Artificial Intelligence Meets Healthcare

Hee-Cheol Kim

The world is changing with technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is re-writing the face of countless industries across the globe, but few people realize that the speed of this change is accelerating. While advances in technology may help healthcare providers, but itâ??s highly unlikely that AI will replace a physician all together in the foreseeable future. The AI based platform will serve as a decision support system to change the role of the doctors. Integrating AI into the healthcare field helps in early detection and progressive prediction of various critical disease and also reduces the rate of misdiagnosis. The presentation will draw on case studies and live examples, showing how global companies are employing Artificial Intelligence to assist the doctors to take decision quickly with high level of precision and accuracy.

Sport Intelligence? Pain and Sports. Multi-Intelligences (MI) Approach.

Olessia Gorkovenko

Introduction "Sport in 21st century is important part of a global realm and requires a wide range of Multi �??Intelligences (MI). Which includes sensory motor and social cognition skills: integrating physical talent with spatial visualisation, motivation and perseverance; innovative reasoning; abstract and practical problem-solving; and the ability to assess and anticipate the behaviour of another person. Skills related to intellectual function �?? both the ability to delay gratification and to react instantly are essential to championship performance. Team play, without which individual talents may never yield championships, involves yet another set of complex skills involving social communication (verbal and non-verbal); the ability to subordinate personal needs to group goals; frustration tolerance; and the ability to inhibit prized skills while deliberately learning other, previously ignored or devalued, skills. As well use of Constructive Emotional, Spiritual and Artificial Intelligences. I am convinced that by close study of international participants in individual and team sports we can contribute mightily to a much more sophisticated understanding of Multi- Intelligences activities and capability. �??From verbal acumen of the ability to think rationally�?�reason�?�and adapt competently to the environment�?�, David Wechsler�??s words. Or I would say, �??What (ether) you can think �?? you can achieve-express �?�. Does Intelligences (Sport Intelligence) help athletes or to any one wishes to stay in the better shape �??mind-body-spirit�?� or to manage injuries or recover faster? Indeed, until recently it was believed that one who actively develops himself physically loses in the intellect. Large, physically strong people caused a certain latent mistrust in terms of sharpness of mind in the average person. And science, apparently, was close to a similar point of view. But what about the fact that the genius Pythagoras was a powerful athlete, and the giants Mayakovsky and Gorky - great thinkers? People whose work was somehow connected with mental activity were often fenced off from the sport, for example, instrumental musicians were afraid of it. And not only out of fear of injury to hands, it was believed that the sport in any case acts badly on the hands. But it turned out once that the great American violinist Isaac Stern regularly practices barbell and precisely in order to better own the instrument. Based on this example, let's say something else. The skill of the musician, they say, is concentrated in the hands. Everyone, however, understands that this is only a figurative expression, in fact it is contained in his head. Sometimes musicians complain that they lack equipment, referring to the hands that are not sufficiently graceful by nature. But we can say with confidence: if these hands are replaced, for example, by Stern�??s hands, then very soon he will play with them no worse than his own, for Stern�??s advantage over other musicians is in his head. All of this can almost be attributed to the athlete. At the heart of success is the same principle - the head plays a major role in its achievements. It is clear that in this case physical strength is more important, and in some forms - in the same weight lifting - the main one. An example is the story of Valery Brumel. Once in a catastrophe, this remarkable athlete was injured, which led him to complete sports disrepair, he even moved with difficulty. Valery spent several years in hospitals, underwent many operations. And some time later, the athlete had already overcome the bar at a height of 208 cm. Of course, it was heroism, a manifestation of unheard-of will. We will not detract from Valery's achievement, but let's say all the same: after the catastrophe, the legs became unusable, but a very important thing remained - knowledge of the jump technique, technology of flying in the air, the sequence of its stages, and the feeling of muscle control. We can say that the second time Brumel did not start from scratch - he started at least from the middle. Someone will object: all of this refers to the parts of the brain that are responsible for human motor activity, and we should talk about Intelligences here, since we want to show the capabilities of a scientist in the sports field. But, as you know, motor talent has a very positive effect on the work of the brain as a whole, including mental abilities. There is even some kind of hypothetical opinion that well-developed fingertips (the development of fine motor skills) increase the ability for logical thinking. No wonder Sherlock Holmes in the book Conan Doyle played the violin. In addition, the example of Brumel can be seen in another. The extraordinary success of this outstanding athlete is largely due to the method of training. We are talking about such exercises that are only suitable at the moment, in this situation, for this athlete. A trainer will not help here, a sportsman�??s own intelligences is needed here. And the better they are, the higher the achievements. This conversation concerns not the motor properties of the psyche, but the most conscious, intellectual ones. In a word, the opinion that a football player needs a head only to take balls on it is absurd. By the way, with regard to football, we recall that this sport, as well as other games, except for mastery of the ball, requires strategy and tactics from the player. It can be concluded: sport requires a complex of various abilities from a person and in my opinion all intelligences are needed. I would emphasise Five main intelligences �?� Sports �?� Visual-Spatial �?� Naturalistic �?� Artificial Intelligence �?� Spiritual Intelligences most needed for the tasks
