Tertiary Prevention

"A patient diagnosed with chronic hypertension who needs to take regular "maintenance" or anti-hypertensive medication is categorized under what level of prevention?

Tertiary Prevention

the action of restoring someone to health or normal life through training and therapy.

Rehabilitation

refers to diseases that can be passed on or "infected" to another human being.

communicable disease

Once an infectious disease has been detected for even suspected, it should be notified to the local health authority, whose responsibility is to put into operation control measures including the provision of medical care to patients

Notification

The infection will rapidly spread to the community without early diagnosis. Clinical diagnosis with epidemiological support is sufficient enough to warrant treatment and appropriate control measures. Treatment is targeted to the reservoir or source of infection.

Early Diagnosis and Prompt Treatment

This must be started from the area of an epidemic outbreak to WHO within 24 hours. There is definite detail procedure for reporting with specific forms. There should be control measures for clinically showing patients.

Reporting

It is the separation of patient from other person for the communicable period of a particular disease. Separation should be done in such places and under such conditions as will prevent direct spread of infection from an infected person to the healthy persons

Isolation

It is the prohibition of movement of persons who have been exposed to communicable disease in order to prevent them from coming into contact with those not so exposed. Any members of the family are not allowed to move outside of their house, the whole village, a block of town or a sea vessel.

Quarantine

quarantine imposed on the infected house

Inner Quarantine

quarantine placed on the infected village or ward

Outer Quarantine

Killing of infectious agents outside the body by means of physical or chemical disinfectants

Disinfection

Application of disinfective measures as soon as possible after the discharge of infection material from the body of an infectious person. Consists of disinfection of urine, feces, vomit, clothes, hands, and gloves.

Concurrent Disinfection -

Application of disinfective measures after the patient has died or has ceased to be a source of infection.

Terminal Disinfection

It is used to destroy or remove undesired small animal forms arthropods or rodents present upon the person, the clothing, in the environment, or domestic animals by using Insecticides, Rodenticides, Larvicides, Repellants and Gassing.

Disinfestation

It is used to prevent disease by giving immunizing agents. Its main goal is to produce herd immunity to the risk population

Immunoprophylaxis

Administration of prepared antibodies.

Passive Immunization

Administration of antigen in the forms of vaccines and toxoids .

Active Immunization

To prevent from the development of an infection or the progressive of an infection to actively manifest disease, some drugs can be administered

Chemoprophylaxis

The essential duty of every health workers is to educate the community about disease causation, clinical features, mode of transmission, prevention, importance of notification, immunization, personal hygiene and environmental sanitation, etc.

Health

basic science of preventive and social medicine. It is the scientific discipline of public health to study diseases in the community to acquire knowledge for the health care of the society.

Epidemiology

person who are infectious but with subclinical disease.

carrier

time of disease initiation

Induction

time of symptoms

Incubation

time of detection in non communicable and infectiousness in Communicable.

Latency

disease that occurs infrequently or irregularly

Sporadic

constant presence or usual prevalence of disease within an area

Endemic

persistent high levels of disease occurrence

Hyperendemic

sudden increase in number of cases of disease in the population

Epidemic

same as epidemic but within more limited area

Outbreak

epidemic that spread over several countries or continents

Pandemic

migration of people from a rural area to an urban area

Urbanization

Advantages of Urbanization

Easier access to healthcare Improved education system Easier access to technology Large numbers of people leads to more taxes for infrastructure development Less land is consumed in rural areas

Disadvantages of Urbanization

Higher impact on land, air and water pollution Large wealth gap between the rich and poor population Increase in waste generated Easier spread of disease due to congestion of areas Increase in crime rate

contributes to respiratory problems such as asthma, lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, and other lung ailments.

Air Pollution

Major source of air pollution

burning of fossil fuels

common sources of air pollution

Vehicle and factory emissions

what contributes to acid rain

Nitrogen and sulfur oxides

major source of water pollution

runoff from agricultural fields, industrial sites, or urban areas

an explosive growth of algae

algal blooms

diseases that you can get from water pollution

typhoid or dysentery

sources of soil pollution

industrial sources or the improper disposal of toxic chemical substances asbestos, lead, PCBs, and overuse of pesticides/herbicides.

refers to the large amount of light produced by most urban and other heavily-populated areas.

Light pollution

refers to human-made noises that are either very loud or disruptive in manner

Noise pollution

Proper Disposal of Waste

Prevent and reduce food waste at source Donate surplus food for human consumption Recycle to recover energy and nutrients Waste-to-energy treatment of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or garbage Clean landfilling

locations where disposable materials are sent, which are then buried underground

Landfills
