<br />
A simple sight test and eyeglasses or contact lenses could make a dramatic difference to the lives of more than 150 million people who are suffering from poor vision. Children fail at school, adults are unable to work and families are pushed into poverty as a result of uncorrected visual impairment.<br />

On 12 October 2006, the World Health Organization (WHO) has released new global estimates which, for the first time, reveal that 153 million people around the world have uncorrected refractive errors (more commonly known as near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism). Refractive errors can be easily diagnosed, measured and corrected with eyeglasses or contact lenses, yet millions of people in low and middle income countries do not have access to these basic services.<br />
<br />
Without appropriate optical correction, millions of children are losing educational opportunities and adults are excluded from productive working lives, with severe economic and social consequences. Individuals and families are frequently pushed into a cycle of deepening poverty because of their inability to see well. At least 13 million children (age 5 to 15) and 45 million working-age adults (age 16 to 49) are affected globally. Fully 90% of all people with uncorrected refractive errors live in low and middle income countries.<br />

Refractive errors occur when the eye is not able to correctly focus images on the retina. The result is blurred vision, which is sometimes so severe that it creates functional blindness for affected individuals. The <b>three most common refractive errors</b> are:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Myopia (nearsightedness) – this is difficulty in seeing distant objects clearly.</li>
<li>Hyperopia also known as Hypermetropia (farsightedness) – this is difficulty is seeing close objects clearly.</li>
<li>Astigmatism – This is distorted vision resulting from an irregularly curved cornea. </li>

<br />
Studies show that washing hands with soap is one of the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent diseases: it can cut deaths from diarrhea by almost half and from acute respiratory infections by a quarter.<br />

But handwashing with soap is not an event it is a behavior. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps one can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. People all over the world wash their hands with water. But washing hands with water alone is significantly less effective than washing hands with soap in terms of removing germs.<br />
<br />
Handwashing with soap works by interrupting the transmission of disease. Hands often act as vectors that carry disease-causing pathogens from person to person, either through direct contact or indirectly via surfaces. When not washed with soap, hands that have been in contact with human or animal feces, bodily fluids like nasal excretions, and contaminated foods or water can transport bacteria, viruses and parasites to unwitting hosts.<br />

In Karnataka State, India, our school health program focuses its efforts on boosting child education as it relates to good hygiene practices. They do this by working with schools to improve both access to better hygiene facilities, such as latrines and hand washing stations, and by teaching students and staff how important good hygiene practices are in making them healthier, like washing hands with soap at key times (after using a latrine or before eating). <b>For more information, please visit</b> : <a href="http://www.trinitycarefoundation.com/schoolhealth/" target="_blank">http://www.trinitycarefoundation.com/schoolhealth/</a> | <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsjZuw5P6" target="_blank">https://flic.kr/s/aHsjZuw5P6 </a><br />

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">Health education is an absolutely vital factor in long-term
health, as well as the health of future generations. Educating children about
health can be as simple as teaching them about basic hygiene, such as the
washing of hands after going to the toilet or how to brush one’s teeth
effectively. However, some health education involves more complex subjects,
such as drug abuse or HIV; topics which need especial attention when dealing
with older children and young adolescents. These health risks are among the biggest
threats facing our youth, and school health programmes are one of the </span><a href="http://trinitycarefoundation.org/effective-school-health-programmes" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">most effective ways</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"> to positively impact on
long-term public health goals, according to the World Health Organisation. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">Because of breakthroughs in treatment options, HIV and AIDS are
no longer in every headline, unlike only a few short years ago. While this can
make it harder to impress upon students how serious the impact of the virus can
be, it is nonetheless essential to convey the message effectively. Despite the
fact that many associate the virus with intravenous drug use and homosexual
intercourse – and while these are risk factors in transmission of HIV – </span><a href="http://www.medindia.net/health_statistics/general/aidsindia.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">88.2% of transmission cases in 2011-2012</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"> were
via heterosexual intercourse. Nearly 200,00 HIV-related deaths were
reported in 2011-2012, and more than 120,000 new cases of infection were
recorded. Education about safe sexual practices, the relationship between HIV
transmission and drug use, the availability of health services such as HIV
testing and free condoms is vital to protect teenagers against this disease. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">For many teenagers, drug abuse is an easy trap to fall into.
Many children grow up seeing various types of substance abuse in their
communities, and have not been educated sufficiently about the dangers of
drugs, including alcohol and tobacco. The easy availability of </span><a href="http://drugabuse.com/library/the-effects-of-inhalant-use/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">cheap
“poppers”</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"> like aerosol inhalants, and the lax attitude of some
retailers towards selling alcohol and tobacco to minors, make the dangers of
substance abuse all the more prevalent and damaging. According to the World
Health Organisation, alcohol is responsible for approximately </span><a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-alcohol-related-deaths-on-the-rise-1887523" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">2.5 million deaths every year</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">, which is nearly 4% of
deaths worldwide. In India, alcohol-related deaths are on the rise, with 5,478
deaths caused by alcohol in 2012, 21% more than the 4547 cases in 2011. Traffic
accidents are a primary cause of alcohol-related deaths, along with liver and
brain complications. Toxic or </span><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-24607227" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">contaminated
home-made alcohol</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;"> is also responsible for deaths from poisoning. Drug
abuse is also highly prevalent; according to the World Health Organisation,
there are as many as a million known heroin addicts in India, with an estimated
further four million who are not registered in treatment programmes. </span><a href="http://www.pravara.com/pmr/pmr-1-4-2.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">Heroin,
cannabis, and Indian-produced pharmaceutical drugs</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> are
the most commonly abused drugs. Although teenagers can be inclined to
think of experimenting with substances as fun and exciting, it is important to
impress upon them not only the dangers of substance abuse, but also to teach
them how to recognize the signs of substance abuse in themselves and their
peers, and how to seek help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">Sexual Safety extends much further than worrying about HIV and
AIDS, and includes the risks of other sexually transmitted infections, as well
as the risks of teen pregnancy. India, where many girls are married before the
age of 19, has a very </span><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2013/10/30/in-india-teen-pregnancy-extremely-likely/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">high rate of teenage pregnancy</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">, which results in a
loss of education for women, as well as physical health risks. Adolescent girls
under the age of 16 who fall pregnant are four times as likely to die than
women in their twenties, while the infant mortality rates of teenage pregnancies
are approximately 50% higher than the rates of older women, according to
the </span><a href="http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/87/6/09-020609/en/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">World Health Organisation</span></a><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 7.5pt;">. While the cultural
aspect of young marriage is not something to be addressed in a health class,
the health risks of unintended or young pregnancy are, and educating both young
women and men about reproductive health is one of the most effective ways to
begin to turn the tide. Additionally, the problem of sexual violence is an
important one, and while girls are often taught to try to avoid situations in
which they could encounter rape and other forms of sexual violence, it is
important to impress upon adolescent boys, too, that these crimes hold severe
consequences for them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Common causes</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Risk factors for oral diseases include an unhealthy diet, tobacco use and harmful alcohol use. These are also risk factors for the four leading chronic diseases – cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes – and oral diseases are often linked to chronic disease. Poor oral hygiene is also a risk factor for oral disease.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The prevalence of oral disease varies by geographical region, and availability and accessibility of oral health services. Social determinants in oral health are also very strong. The prevalence of oral diseases is increasing in low- and middle-income countries, and in all countries, the oral disease burden is significantly higher among poor and disadvantaged population groups.</span></div>
<h3 class="section_head1" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px 20px 9px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dental cavities can be prevented by maintaining a constant low level of fluoride in the oral cavity. Fluoride can be obtained from fluoridated drinking water, salt, milk and toothpaste, as well as from professionally-applied fluoride or mouth rinse. Long-term exposure to an optimal level of fluoride results in fewer dental cavities in both children and adults.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-right: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Most oral diseases and conditions require professional dental care, however, due to limited availability or inaccessibility, the use of oral health services is markedly low among older people, people living in rural areas, and people with low income and education. Oral health care coverage is low in low- and middle- income countries.</span></div>

<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Traditional curative dental care is a significant economic burden for many high-income countries, where 5–10% of public health expenditure relates to oral health. In low- and middle-income countries, public oral health programmes are rare. The high cost of dental treatment can be avoided by effective prevention and health promotion measures.</span></div>

The healthy development of children and adolescents is influenced by many societal institutions. After the family, the school is the primary institution responsible for the development of young people in the United States.<br />

<li>Schools have direct contact with more than 95 percent of our nation’s young people aged 5–17 years, for about 6 hours a day, and for up to 13 critical years of their social, psychological, physical, and intellectual development. </li>

<div class="entry-content">
Hepatitis is the medical problem that appears when your liver is inflamed. This may happen because of a virus, but there are some other factors that can cause hepatitis as well. Alcohol, certain medication and even trauma can cause hepatitis. Hepatitis is not a life threatening condition and can be treated. But, there are cases when a certain virus that causes hepatitis can cause an infection which can last a very long time, known as chronic hepatitis. This infection can even lead to liver failure and even death.<br />

<br />
Viral hepatitis is the hepatitis cause by a virus. There are four types of this kind of hepatitis: hepatitis A, the hepatitis B, C hepatitis and of course delta hepatitis. The most frightening of all these types of hepatitis is the hepatitis C. It is cause by a virus specific to hepatitis C. This hepatitis virus affects a large number of people every year. This condition is usually looked at as mild, but this type of hepatitis can very easily lead to chronic liver problems, unlike the hepatitis B type. Everyone that gets infected with the hepatitis virus can be chronic carriers of this virus. But, many of them will not even have hepatitis symptoms. Out of all the people that carry this hepatitis C virus, about seventy percent will go on to develop a chronic liver problem. It does not matter if they have any hepatitis symptoms or not.<br />
<br />
Hepatitis C is usually spread by contact to human blood that has been contaminated with the hepatitis C virus. There is an astonishing number of people that are infected with the hepatitis C virus because of injection of drugs. People who have transfusions of blood are also at risk of infection with the hepatitis C virus. But, the risk is lowered now, because of a test that requires that the blood used for transfusions must be tested for the hepatitis C virus. This type of hepatitis virus can also be transmitted sexually and also between house members. But, it is believed that the risk of developing hepatitis C in these cases is low. You can not get the hepatitis C virus from food, water or by shaking somebody’ s hand. There are symptoms that can tell you that you are suffering from hepatitis C, although a large number of hepatitis patients have no symptoms at all. fever, fatigue, dihareea, muscle aches are some of the hepatitis C symptoms.<br />
