...Accrediting bodies in public health Discuss the importance of accrediting bodies within the field of public health. * There are about 300 institutions that offer a degree selected public health fields (CDC2011). ASPH represents the CEPH-accredited schools of public health. The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) is the nationally recognized accrediting body for both schools of public health and public health programs. The importance of having accrediting bodies within the field of public health can vary in reasoning. Accreditation is a rigorous peer-review process; attending a CEPH-accredited school of public health means assurance for students that each schools’ educational programs have been found to be satisfactory by other accredited schools of public health. Assurance of receiving a well-rounded graduate education. Accredited schools of public health must provide degree programs in each of the five core public health areas: Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Environmental Health, Behavioral Sciences/Health Education, and Health Services Administration. Eligibility to sit for the Certified in Public Health exam, administered by the National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE); Assurance that the degree earned will qualify the graduate for many jobs which specify graduation from an accredited school as a condition of employment; and eligibility for public health internships and fellowships sponsored by various federal agencies, as well as student assistance resources...

...The relationship of excess body weight and health-related quality of life: evidence from a population study in Taiwan I-C Huang, C Frangakis, and AW Wu Abstract Objective: Excess body weight is related to significant morbidity and mortality. However, less is known about the relationship of body weight to health-related quality of life (HRQOL), especially for Asian populations. We examined the relationship of excess weight and HRQOL in a general population sample from Taiwan. Research methods and procedures: This cross-sectional study used a national representative sample (n=14221) from the 2001 Taiwan National Health Interview Survey. Body weight was categorized using body mass index (BMI in kg/m2) as normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (>=30). HRQOL was measured using the Taiwan version of the SF-36. We compared the body weight–HRQOL relationships by age, gender, and status of chronic condition, respectively. We especially used the Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) to examine the relationships of BMI and HRQOL by taking into account the correlations of HRQOL within households. Four models were developed to adjust sequentially for sets of covariates: Model 1 with no adjustment; Model 2 adjusting for socio-demographic variables; Model 3 adding chronic conditions; Model 4 further adding smoking status. Results: Unadjusted physical HRQOL was best for normal weight, worse for overweight, and worst for obese individuals. For unadjusted mental HRQOL, overweight...

...Human Body and How and When They Are Used In Health CareThe Seven Organizational Approaches Too Studying the Human Body and How and When They Are Used In Health Care HCA/220 SHEILA PIERSON By: Christie Brewer Anatomical directional terms are like the directions on a compass rose of a map. Like the directions, North, South, East and West, they can be used to describe the locations of structures in relation to other structures or locations in the body. This is particularly useful when studying anatomy as it provides a common method of communication that helps to avoid confusion when identifying structures. Anatomical directional terms can also be applied to the planes of the body. Body planes are used to describe specific sections or regions of the body. Below are examples of some commonly used anatomical directional terms and planes of the body. A body cavity is a hollow space. It can be defined as the space that remains after the organs inside it are removed, but this definition does not do justice to the variety and functions of body cavities. Humans have four body cavities. The first is a dorsal body cavity that encloses the brain and spinal cord. Second is the thoracic cavity that encloses the heart and lungs Third the abdominal cavity that encloses most of the digestive organs and kidneys. The Fourth is pelvic cavity that encloses the bladder and reproductive organs. The cranial cavity cushions and protects the brain within a rigid skull. The other body cavities...

Groshong Sr Page Health Body Wellness Center (HBWC) promotes medical research, evaluation, and sharing of information between health care professionals . The HBWC’s Office of Grants Giveaway (OGG) provides for the distribution of federally supported medical grants. OGG uses a Microsoft Access database program called Small Hospital Tracking System (SHGTS) to manage the medical grant distribution process. A risk assessment of SHGTS was conducted to evaluate vulnerabilities and establish a baseline of potential threats. This document will outline an ISMS plan for HBWC and provide recommendation of additional steps needed to implement and maintain this plan. Use of the ISO 27000 series certification process will provide a framework for the ISMS. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model provides a step-by-step process for planning, implementing, and management of the ISMS plan. The ISMS outline, network drawing, and additional recommended steps will be discussed below. A1.

...the secrets of health through the Bible. The book is divided into five different sections explaining how diseases affect different areas of life. Diseases affect source, physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. The source of wholeness is the understanding of where a disease came from and how it was spread. Egyptians and doctors used to believe that a wound should rot a little in order to heal. This was the wrong belief. In Exodus the Lord explains that if the people of Israel would not follow the ways of the Egyptians the people would be healed. The Egyptians used to apply manure and worm’s blood to wounds to make it pus. The Egyptians believed in the wrong source of healing. The errors of mankind are clearly shown in history. It was not only in ancient times but also in recent centuries. In May 1847 Vienna, Austria was the leading medical center of the world. One out of six pregnant women die of labor fever on the delivery table. No one knew the mode of transmission of this disease except a doctor by the name of Ignaz Semmelweis. In the 1800s, doctors and nurses did not wash their hands when transferring from the morgue to the delivery room. After submerging their hands in pus and blood during an autopsy, the nurses and doctors would go straight to the delivery rooms without washing their hands. If people just followed the Bible’s principals, the deaths of these women would have been avoided. Numbers 19:11 states, “He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall...

...refuses to pay her taxes or state her purpose for buying the poison. Emily also avoids the law when she refuses to have numbers attached to her house when federal mail service is delivering. Her dismissal of the law eventually takes on more threatening consequences, as she takes the life of the man whom she refuses to allow abandon her. Emily’s anxiety, however, lead she in a different direction and the final scene of the story suggests that she is a necrophiliac. Necrophilia typically means a sexual attraction to dead bodies. In a broader sense, the term also describes a powerful desire to control another, usually in the context of a romantic or deeply personal relationship. Necrophilia’s tend to be so controlling in their relationships that they ultimately resort to bonding with unresponsive individual with no resistance with dead bodies. Mr. Grierson controlled Emily, and after his death, Emily temporarily controls him by refusing to give up his dead body. She ultimately transfers this control to Homer, the object of her affection. Unable to find a traditional way to express her desire to possess Homer, Emily takes his life to achieve total power over him.

...in Healing Care and Wellness Sunshine Weeks Eric Chapman, founding president and chief executive officer of the Baptist Healing Trust in Nashville, Tennessee, envisioned a healing hospital that would cover not only the physical aspects of healing but the emotional and spiritual components (ericchapman.com, n.d.). My work will describe the healing hospital paradigm and how spirituality influences this paradigm. In addition, barriers to the Healing Hospital paradigm will be discussed along with Biblical scripture that supports compassion in the health care system. The healing hospital paradigm it focuses on the removal of stress and other health risks in the hospital environment for both patients and visitors. . The healing hospital paradigm it involves in healing the whole client (Young & Koopsen, 2006, p. 4) instead of just curing the disease. This emerges from the paradigm’s focuses on healing beyond the body physical: it aims to enhance the overall well being by addressing the patient’s and their families’ cognitive, emotional and spiritual concerns (Milstein, 2005). A healing hospital goes beyond windows, walls, and mortar. Its strong culture of love and caring is what sets it apart from traditional hospitals (Chapman, 2010, p.15)... The concept is to supporting a strong culture of caring for their patients and caregivers. Healing Hospitals use the three symbols of loving services which are: a Golden Thread that symbols faith in god to represent positive...

...Whole Body Donation for Research and Education. There are several types of donations that can occur after death. Organ donation, this occurs primarily occurs for the purposes of life saving transplantation. Tissue and eye donation for the purposes of transplantation, which is primarily, considered life enhancing. In some cases it could be considered life saving but for the most part a person would survive without the transplantation. This includes things such as bone grafts for accident or cancer victims, or eye (cornea) donation. They would likely live without it but might otherwise be significantly impaired i.e. blind, or crippled. Organ eye and tissue donation for transplantation is one of the most highly regulated areas in healthcare. Multiple regulatory agencies at the federal level such as CMS (Center for Medicare Services), FDA (Federal Drug Association), UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) have oversight. These areas of donation are also regulated in many, but not all cases by state oversight. This regulation while adding cost and complication helps assure the safety of the public. The next area of donation is done for the purposes of education or research. This area is completely unregulated in most states. The bodies donated to unregulated programs can be used for a variety of purposes. Often they are used as cadavers for training medical students. The remains could also be used as anatomical models for a chiropractor’s office, be processed...

...Stories of Black Women” by Alice Walken. Based on what I know about Alice Walken and her work, I assume Myop is a young girl from a dark colored family in the south, which world limits to the wood behind her family’s house. In the beginning of the story Myop is a happy child with a child’s innocence and illusions. The atmosphere in the beginning is also very calm and peaceful. All these changes when Myop steps on a dead body in the wood. “.. and she reached down quickly, unafraid, to free herself” (p. 107 l. 33) As you see in this quote Myop is not afraid of the situation, but looks at it with a child’s eyes of interest, and trying to make her own experiences. She doesn’t know yet that she has to be afraid. The calmness is then broken and the sentiment changes. Something is wrong and when Myop wants to go back to the peacefulness of the morning, she can’t. The calmness she knows and is pursuing is gone, as Myop has left her childhood. The point of no return would be when Myop steps upon the body, that’s the turning point of her life. Not only he finds a dead body, but also his white teeth are cracked that shows us that he probably had been beaten up before the lynching.In her ‘illusions’, life is good and fair. Her illusion of the world is not including murder, and when she sees this man – dead by either one – her perspective of the world changes, and her illusions cracks. Mypo...

My physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being is extremely out of balance where healing can only come from within and I must rise above the injuries of yesterday otherwise I will be the vessel of tomorrow’s generations that may lead to the fatality of a people. I am a warrior gravely wounded from the incarceration of an Indian Residential School and the genocides, but it is time that my resilience will abrogate the usurping of my people’s rights, liberties and freedoms upon the lands and resources we own, enjoy, use and occupy. I must heal myself by picking up the multiple years of baggage and heal every single wound that has pierced my body and soul so that I can live without shame, poverty, abuse and anger. Then and only then will the healing drums give strength, pride and dignity among the hearts and minds of all Warriors. Canada Day Poem of Wayne Nicholas July 1st, 2010...

...Vikhyat Mundlapudi Mr. Brandstetter ENG-3UH Monday, September 26th, 2011 yThe Ripple in the Pond Janice Galloway's “this much is constant” is a testament to adults who have let out all their bottled up issues in the form of crime. Through her choice of descriptive words, she hints at the fact that the protagonist may have revisited her childhood home, only to murder her mother. The protagonist's feelings start to be revealed on the first page when she talks about how fear and wonder are constants, meaning that even though all the fearful and wonderful things that happened to her have long passed, they were still fresh in her mind, staying with her for eternity. The reader discovers that she has the longing to accomplish something as she says, “Determination is never outgrown; only with fear and wonder, adapted, reviewed, refined.” (p169) This can be interpreted as the protagonist had wanted to do something in her childhood, and that desire had never outgrown her, it had just been more refined to a point in her adulthood where she could conceivably execute her plan. She says, “Fear is never outgrown...,” (p169) meaning that even though she now has the plan to go along with her determination, she is still as fearful as the child she used to be. Her fear seems to stem specifically from this home, as she talks about how home is where bones grate against each other, signifying conflict, and as many child psychologists will say, a home with much conflict is the devil's workshop...

...theory on an organism’s life existing within and “through” skin, Sullivan harnesses the acceptance of the “transaction” allowing all processes to occur as a means positive transformation. Through the boundaries of sex and race, Sullivan reveals the human individual as a body no longer bounded by absolute substance. Instead, we can find direction and freedom within the dynamic relationship of body and environment, and address the impact of the insurmountable activities of life “on people’s lived situations and experiences” (Sullivan 3). Acknowledgment of our transactional bodies formation by mutual constitution and categorization of the world comes with the examination of the “hidden assumptions and blind spots” that accompany a particular perspective, and ultimately, the potential of changed habit for achieving what Dewey previously defines as a Great community (Sullivan 4). By encouraging the collaboration and advantages of a transactional perspective of our own body, Sullivan wishes to free the boundaries of fixed habit and improve bodily existence through a blend of 20th Century pragmatism. Sullivan’s concern remains within the social, ethical, and epistemological implications of transactional bodies, encouraging the explanation of the true harm and benefit of different transactions onto different people. Subject and object compartmentalized as separate entities suggest an exchange that never allows for the conceptualization of co-constitution, so Sullivan respectively...
