5 things you need to remember before buying health insurance policy

1. The most imperative thing to reflect on is the sum insured. If your medical expenses are above the total insured limit then it will not be allocated. It is sensible to check how much coverage you would require. It gets slightly difficult to raise the amount of sum guaranteed when you age.

2. People at times are cannot decide whether if they should buy an individual policy or a family floater policy. Individual policies include a single person while the family floater covers the full family under one single policy. It is to be celebrated that for a young family, a family floater plan is much lesser than the individual plan. Another thing is that in an individual policy each member has a dedicated sum insured whereas in case of a family floater plan the insurance cover is mutual.

3. While choosing among numerous health insurance plans, instead of lesser premiums considers the benefits which are been accessible. There are certain benefits like pre and post hospitalization, day-care measures, OPD, maternity extensions or emergency vehicle service, etc., should be taken into consideration.

4. Often individuals have diseases before they apply for health policy. So, when applying for the policy, the insurance company insist on health check tests. On the basis of the report received, the company chooses if the policy application is to be accepted or rejected. If they choose to accept then they recommend a holding up period which is typically 4 years. It means that in case of any hospitalization fee related to the ailments confirmed can be claimed just after the completion of 4 successful years with the health insurance providers.

5. Every health insurance company has tie-ups with clinics and hospitals across the nation which is known as empanelled hospitals. If you are conceded in empanelled hospital then you don't have to pay. All you need to do is to give your policy number and after that hospital and your insurer will take care of the remaining thing. So, much like a cashless treatment. As no claim reimbursement or documentation is required. If you get treated at a hospital which is not on the list of empanelled hospitals then you will not get cashless mediclaim.

The violence taking part in Congo debilitates combat against Ebola: Epidemiology Conference 2019

Subsequent to assaults on two Ebola treatment centers in the Democratic Republic of Congo recently, Doctors Without Borders says public health workers are “failing” to oppress the outbreak.

Medecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) were asked to stop their work at two treatment centers, which is in the centre region of current Ebola outbreaks in Democratic Republic of Congo after they were dreadfully damaged by two separate attacks. As a result of such violent behavior, the Ebola response is failing to put on the upper hand on the epidemic.

The epidemic, which began late in the month of August, has killed at least 569 natives, according to the World Health Organization.

Research says about the high health burdens of very high risk drinking: Epidemiology Conference

Alcohol is a psychoactive substance, causing a dependence-producing property that has been widely used in many cultures for centuries. The unsafe use of alcohol causes various disease, societal and financial burden in societies. Alcohol use is a causal factor in more than 200 ailment and injury conditions. Consumption of alcohol is linked with a risk of developing health issues such as psychological and behavioural disorders, as well as alcohol addiction, major non-communicable diseases such as liver cirrhosis, some cancers and cardiovascular infections, along with injuries follow-on from violence and road clashes and collisions. A significant proportion of the disease burden inferable to liquor consumption arises from accidental and deliberate injuries, together with those due to road traffic crashes, violent behaviour, and suicides and lethal alcohol-related injuries tend to occur in rather younger age groups.

In recent study conducted on the subject Addiction Biology, it was reported that the existence of Very High Risk Drinking Level (VHRDL), defined as drinking > 100g of ethanol/day, was found to be 0.74-0.85% in 13 European Union countries, including the risk of disease or injury of about 13.5 per 100 individual with VHRDL annually. Another such study based on the analysis carried out in 9 European countries showed that VHRDL leads to 43.8% of all pancreatitis, 41.1% among oral cavity and pharyngeal cancers and 53.6% in liver cirrhosis. Application of these figures to French Mortality data showed that the life expectancy of people with VHRDL is reduced 2-3 decades around 47-61 year only when compared with the general population.

This indicates the health burden of VHRDL is very high and measures need to be implemented to reduce the VHRDL while amending the public health policies.

Public health might have disregarded people with very high drinking levels and seen them basically like a small marginal who ought to be helped clinically in the health care organization. In spite of this, an additional systematic analysis shows that evident burden of disease is linked with this drinking pattern in and hence comprehensive approaches must be well thought-out.

To increase the production of Antimalarial compound in Plants, genetic engineering techniques are implemented : Epidemiology and Public Health Conference

Sweet wormwood, Artemisia annua, is the solitary resource of a powerful antimalarial compound called artemisinin. This antimalarial compound is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a cure for malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, but the source is presently is well below demand. Nearly half of the world’s population is at risk of malaria.

Researchers used the genome sequence of Artemisia annua to boost the plant’s capacity to make artemisinin. They used the genome sequence of A. annua, and genetically tailored the plant to deliver much higher levels of artemisinin. This might be a good strategy for the large-scale generation of artemisinin which can meet the ever-increasing need for this medicinal compound and help deal with the global health problems.

A. annua produces artemisinin on a rate of only roughly 0.1 percent to 1 percent of the dry weight of its leaves. Other approaches to produce this compound has mainly centred on making the drug through other means, for example, via yeast cells designed to produce a biochemical precursor to artemisinin. But that approach is costly and is not yet ready to substitute plant-based generation.

In the recent study, Research scientist have put together a high-quality design assembly of the A. annua genome and used it to classify the genetic components of artemisinin biosynthesis. By raising the expression of three genes implicated in this pathway, the team was able to grow plants with much higher levels of artemisinin—up to 3.2 percent of the leaves’ dry weight.

This accomplishment, building as it does on earlier molecular breeding and genetic designing attempts. Before the work could have an influence on commercial assembly it will necessitate extensive field trials to reveal that the engineered plants function in the field is the same as they have done under investigational conditions.

An Aging Immune System may describe Age-related Cancer Risk : Epidemiology Conference

The key to cancer avoidance possibly lies in the immune system rather than inherent mutations, the recent focus of most anti-cancer efforts around the globe, according to a most important novel investigate done.

For decades, it has been acknowledged that transformations emerging either as an end result of genetic predisposition or standard of living and ecological factors cause cancer. The conventional view is with the aim of the way cancer occurrence increases with age may possibly be understood and evaluated if multiple (typically five to six) mutations in a single cell are necessary to set off cancer.

The failing immune system with we age may possibly be a stronger case for the rising incidence of early cancer than multiple mutations.

Following the theory that an aging immune system may outcome in higher rates of cancer, just as it leads to older person is more inclined to other diseases; they looked at statistics on 2 million cases of cancer with the age ranging between 18-70. A mathematical equation is developed for how they would anticipate cancer prevalence to increase in relative to a failing immune system and compared it to the age profiles for 100 distinct cancers.

Their model fitted the statistics better than the several mutation hypotheses. As the immune system normally declines more slowly in women than men, they were also capable to report for the sexual characteristics difference in cancer occurrence, something that transformations alone cannot explain.

This proposes that the immune system, especially as it gradually fails, may perform a greater role in the advancement of cancer than earlier thought. If borne out by additional studies, this might have significant implications for cancer prevention and treatment around the world.

Almost all of the typical research into cancer is based on how we can comprehend genetic mutations, aim them and thereby treat the disease. whether mutations unaided can be related for the swift rise in cancer prevalence with age while aging causes other significant changes in the body.

The main cause of immune aging is the withdrawal of the thymus organ. It is the place where T cells, circulate the body killing dysfunctional cells or foreign agents, are produced.

Thymic involution starts from approximately the age of one and the thymus generally halves in size every 16 years, with a resultant fall in the production of T cells. The analysts found a very strong connection between the chances of certain cancers expanding and the new T cell populaces deteriorating.

Epidemiology of Sexual Transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV) described by the Living Systematic Study : Public Health Conference

Zika virus (ZIKV) can be sexually transmissible within a shorter period of time than earlier evaluated, concurring to a systematic study carried out. The study included an analysis of data from both human and animal studies and was conducted to explain the epidemiology of sexual transmission of ZIKV.

Sexual transmission of ZIKV has been earlier documented, but the dangers of transmission are not well implicit, and it is not identified whether other flaviviruses can be transmitted by this means. To address this gap in information, the analysts conducted a methodical review of available, relevant evidence. Sexual transmission of ZIKV is found to be more prominent to spread from men to women than from women to men. For sexual transmission of ZIKV, it was found by researchers that the average serial interval, the time between the start of indications in 2 sexual partners is 12 days, and the average duration of ZIKV RNA determination in semen is longer (34 days) than in the female genital tract (12 days). There was no evidence for sexual transmission for any other arthropod-borne flaviviruses.

The study's conclusions are constrained by the underlying indication, which might have outstanding biases. On the other hand, the study is developed as a living methodical examination, such that more up to date evidence will be included upon accessibility. Of public health pertinence, this study suggests that the communicable period for sexual transmission of ZIKV is shorter than estimates from the initial post-outbreak considers.

Dealing with the Salmonella Epidemic, a Sneaky Superbug : Healthcare Conference

Salmonella is one such strain and are known to cause frequent epidemic outbreaks. They grow well on raw meat products such as chicken, fish, beef, ham, etc. Since, humans consume these products almost on a daily basis and it isn’t difficult to get infected and outbreaks are more common than you think.

The most common symptoms observed in a salmonella infection are, diarrhea, fever and stomach aches which show up 12 to 72 hours after the initial exposure. It is relatively, a treatable illness but the strains mutate and transform into more resilient forms and new more potent drugs are necessary to combat them. With the proper treatment the infected person could be cured within 4 to 7 days. Inflammation of the intestines is one of the obvious characteristics of salmonella infection and due to the tissue damage caused the pathogen can migrate into other parts of the body through the blood stream. Children under 5 and older adults above 65 can suffer severe illness due to their weakened or underdeveloped immune systems. In rare cases, deaths have also been reported. So, yes it is a grave matter of concern, given the frequency of outbreaks.

The Centre of Disease Control (CDC) and other health officials have identified salmonella infected raw chicken meat as one of the major contributors for the recent outbreaks in the U.S and are making attempts to contain the spread of the infection.

The CDC is also handing out a few important but basic methods to significantly reduce the infection and its spread. These advisories are linked to cooking and food preparation methods. Performing these tasks can significantly reduce the chances of picking up the infectious microbe.

• Hand Wash: Salmonella is transferable from an infected individual to others by interactions with the hands. Therefore, washing hands before and after eating or cooking meat or after contact with animals or changing diapers.
• Thorough cooking of chicken meat: With careful food preparation methods it is possible to eliminate salmonella in large proportions. Cooking with an internal temperature of 165°F and also reheating the leftovers with the same temperature is enough to kill most of the microbes. Internal temperature can be measured using a food thermometer to ensure even the thick sections of the meat receives the heat treatment.
• Avoid spreading microbes from chicken meat in food preparation areas: Reduce the area of contact of the raw meat. Washing the meat prior to cooking is not recommended. After, food preparation, clean all the surfaces of contact, utensils, cutting boards with warm water followed by soapy water.

Anti-biotics may be one of the most important and useful inventions to come out in the history of medicine and have saved countless lives since time period of world war 2, but nature always has tricks up her sleeves. Microbes will constantly keep evolving and become more resistant to any kind of antibiotics we throw at them. So, we definitely need an alternative or we will be facing an impossible to kill superbug.

Epidemiology of Malarial Contamination : Public Health Congress

Epidemiologists have recently paid more prominent consideration in the past to the study of disease transmission of clinical malaria as opposed to the epidemiology of malarial contamination. This alters of emphasis has been stimulated in portion by the requirement for superior clinical definitions of malaria within the assessment of control measures such as insecticide-treated materials and malaria immunizations. Nearly half of the entire world populace is exposed to the chance of contracting malaria. Malaria could be a life-threatening malady caused by parasites that are transmitted to individuals through the bites of contaminated female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is preventable and curable. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to individuals through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors." There are 5 Plasmodium parasites species that cause malaria in people: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. knowlesi and 2 of these species – P. falciparum and P. vivax – pose the greatest risk. Malaria influences basically poor tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Where the infection is endemic it is the driving cause of ailment and passing.

Usually, malaria is transmitted through bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. There are more than 400 diverse species of Anopheles mosquito; around 30 are malaria vectors of major significance. The intensity of transmission depends on components related to the parasite, the vector, the human have, and the environment. Anopheles mosquitoes lay their eggs in water, which bring forth into hatchlings, in the long run rising as grown-up mosquitoes. The female mosquitoes look for a blood supper to sustain their eggs. Each species of Anopheles mosquito has its possess favored aquatic territory; for example, a few prefer little, shallow collections of new water, such as puddles and foot prints, which are abundant during the rainy season in tropical nations.

Early diagnosis and treatment of malaria diminishes malady and avoids passings. It too contributes to decreasing intestinal sickness transmission. The finest accessible treatment, especially for P. falciparum intestinal sickness, is artemisinin-based combination treatment (ACT). RTS, S/AS01 (RTS,S) – too known as Mosquirix – is an injectable vaccine that gives partial security against jungle fever in youthful children. The vaccine is being assessed in sub-Saharan Africa as a complementary malaria control tool that possibly can be included too (and not replace) the core package of WHO-recommended preventive, diagnostic and treatment measures.

Malaria is still considered a worldwide health issue and a major killer. Morbidity and mortality burden of malaria can be decreased strengthening prevention, moving forward malaria diagnosis, using correct treatments based on artemisinin combination and adopting procedures pointed at preventing drug resistance. Real malaria frequency is difficult to get. However, it is possible to create reliable estimates much appreciated to the information provided by Ministries of Health of different countries and to exact predominance studies. Determination of real rate of malaria and assurance of the real Plasmodium species distribution are two diverse issues that could offer assistance expert in the eradication of malaria, the real and unique objective within the battle against malaria.

All Infectious Diseases Show Seasonal Outbreaks : Epidemiology Conference

The majority of us are aware of the seasonal phase of influenza outbreaks, which intended to peak in the winter for Americans. One of the PhD, a scientist at the Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, makes a case that all communicable diseases are inflicted with a seasonal factor.

Data from the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and peer-reviewed publications to create a calendar of epidemics for 69 infectious diseases, from commonplace diseases to rare tropical diseases. A specified year outbreaks of flu in the winter, chickenpox in the spring, and gonorrhea and polio in the summer--to name a few of the best depicted regular seasonal outbreaks.

It was found seasonality occurs not just in acute infectious diseases like flu but also chronic communicable diseases like Hepatitis B, which depending on geology, flares up with greater normality certain period of the year. Introductory work has revealed that even HIV-AIDS has a seasonal factor, thought to be driven by seasonal changes in the lack of healthy sustenance in agricultural settings.

The four main drivers of seasonality in infectious diseases. Ecological factors like heat and moisture control seasonal flu; in vector-borne infections like Zika too, the surroundings play a role in the propagation of mosquitos. Host behaviors such as children coming into close vicinity with each other during the school year are the aspect in measles. Environmental factors such as algae play a role in the outburst of cholera. Seasonal biological rhythms, alike to those that dominate relocation and hibernation in animals, may also be a cause in diseases like polio, though more research is needed.

Seasonality is an influential and general feature of infectious diseases, in spite of the fact that the scientific community has largely overlooked it for the majority of infections, Much effort is needed to comprehend the forces driving infection seasonality and know how we can control seasonality to model intercessions to anticipate flare-ups and cure chronic infections.

Recognizing the drivers of seasonal flare-ups is not always clear, but can pay dividends. For example, the microorganisms that cause cholera, which spread to humans by fecal-oral transmission, can be maintained in water upheld by algae. Public health authorities might take on an intervention to inhibit the transmission of cholera from infected individuals and/or target the microorganisms present in algae-filled waterbodies; significantly, the key season to embark on each of these intercessions would probably disagree.

In the case of polio, public health analysts previously thought summer flare-ups were driven by the seasonal blending of children in swimming pools or theaters or by the climate, but not one or the other of these factors could explain the late spring outbreaks around the globe. In 2001, an associate at the CDC hypothesized that seasonal changes in the hormone melatonin may well play a role in tweaking the immune system. In one of the ongoing study investigated this possibility by comparing levels of immune molecules in blood drawn from patients at different intervals of the year.

Research reveals about the Unseen Infections harming world's Children and Adolescent Health : Epidemiology Meet 2019

Children all over the globe are distress from unobserved infections that are hindering their progression and mental development, novel research from an international coalition of researchers uncovers.

Up to 30 percent of children in low-resource nations experience underdeveloped growth. Insufficient nutrition and diarrhea have long been held responsible, but researchers have, until now, been incapable to justify a large percentage of stunting cases. Two new considers, however, demonstrate that a huge number of children with no signs of diarrhea are carrying dangerous infections. These diseases eventually inhibit them from getting their full potential and propagate a cruel phase of lack.

The only focus on diarrhea, may not be adequate. We need to be addressing these asymptomatic exposures too. If we could have intercessions beside just four pathogens, we would anticipate development in the progression that's alike to what has been seen for nutritional interventions in comparative settings. This puts pathogen exposure, in terms of significance, on the equivalent level as nutrition, which in the past has been well thought-out the main cause for deprived growth.
