YF-3000.4200-300 |
A respiratory infection, popularly called "swine flu", that involves a new H1N1 type A influenza strain that is a genetic combination of swine, avian and human influenza viruses. It is based primarily on a "triple assortment" virus circulating in U.S. pigs since the mid 1990’s that is, itself, a combination of classical swine flu, a North American avian flu and a strain of human flu. When the strain of swine flu found in pigs in Europe and Asia entered the mix, the two strains swapped genetic material to produce the new H1N1 strain which is transferrable to humans. Person-to-person transmission of the virus can also occur, mainly through the coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. The symptoms of H1N1 in people are generally similar to those of regular human seasonal flu and may include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people have also reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Most people recover in a few days to less than two weeks. People age 65 years and older, people of any age with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), pregnant women, and young children are more likely to get complications from influenza. |

The regulations protect medical records and other individually identifiable health information, whether it is on paper, in computers or communicated orally. Key provisions address patient access to their medical records, notification of patients regarding privacy practices, limits on use of personal medical information, prohibitions on marketing, protections for stronger state laws, confidential communication upon the request of patients and access to a complaints process.

Programs that provide antiretroviral drugs for individuals who have had a high risk episode to stop HIV from replicating and spreading throughout the body. PEP must be started as soon as possible to be effective, and always within three days of a possible exposure. Health care workers are evaluated for PEP if they are exposed to blood or body fluids of a patient who is infected with HIV. PEP can also be used to treat people who may have been exposed to HIV during a single event unrelated to work (e.g., unprotected sex, needle-sharing injection drug use or sexual assault). Treatment may be available at doctor's offices, emergency rooms, urgent care clinics or a local HIV clinic. Health care workers exposed to HIV on the job are generally covered by their workplace health insurance or Workers Compensation. In sexual assault situations, people may qualify for partial or total reimbursement by the Office for Victims of Crime, funded by the US Department of Justice. People in other situations who have no insurance can apply for free antiretroviral medicines through the medication assistance programs run by the manufacturers. |
0 |
| HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Medication |
LH-6700.6400-300 |
Programs that provide prescription medication that provides way for people at substantial risk for HIV to reduce the likelihood of infection by taking a pill every day in conjunction with other prevention measures. When someone is exposed to HIV through sex or injection drug use, the medication can work to keep the virus from establishing a permanent infection. When taken consistently, PrEP (an acronym for "pre-exposure prophylaxis") has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV infection in people who are at high risk by up to 92%; but is much less effective if it is not taken consistently. PrEP is a powerful tool that is meant to be used as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention plan that includes consistent and correct use of condoms, HIV risk reduction counseling, regular HIV testing and screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections. |
0 |
| HIV Testing |
LF-4900.2400 |
Programs that offer HIV tests which are used to identify individuals who have been infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and are at risk for developing AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) or which are used to measure progression of the disease in people known to be infected. The most common HIV screening test is the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) which most frequently uses peripheral blood drawn from the arm or a finger as a sample, but can also be conducted using serum, oral fluids or urine. Repeatedly reactive EIA tests are confirmed using the Western blot or the immunofluorescence assay (IFA). The most common test that is used to measure disease progression is the PCR (polymeraise chain reaction) or viral load test. Many programs that provide HIV testing also provide pre-testing and post-test counseling which includes information about AIDS/HIV, reducing risks for HIV transmission, emotional support to help the individual deal with the testing process and test results, and information about and referral to other AIDS-related services. |

This is complicated by research showing that personal experiences such as isolation, anxiety or childhood abuse are typically stepping stones to extremism rather than pre-existing ideological belief, so the pull of the behavioral and social rewards of participating in hate groups needs to be countered. More important is the "deradicalization" stage in which the former member recognizes the falsity of the group's belief system and moves on with his or her life, leaving the radical ideology behind. |

Programs that increase public awareness of the measures that people can take to protect lives and property before, during and after a traffic accident, train derailment, chemical manufacturing plant fire or accident or other incident involving the release of chemical substances which pose a threat to the environment or public health. Hazardous chemicals are used in industry, agriculture, medicine, research and consumer goods; and can cause death, serious injury, long-lasting health effects, and damage to buildings, homes and other property through improper exposure. People can be exposed by breathing the chemical; swallowing food, water or medication contaminated by the chemical; touching the chemical; or coming into contact with clothing or other materials that have touched the chemical. |

| Head Lice Control |
JP-1500.1700-300 |
Programs that conduct routine classroom "head checks" to identify individual cases of head lice before the lice are spread to others. Head lice are transmitted from person to person through close body contact, or through sharing combs, brushes or hats and other headgear. Children with evidence of louse infection (nits and/or crawling lice) are usually sent home after parents have been notified along with louse control instructions. Infested children are generally not readmitted until proper treatment has been initiated. Lice do not infest classrooms, carpets and chairs as they die within 24-48 hours of separation from the warm and humid body environment, so spraying classrooms or areas of the home is not a useful control strategy. |

| Head and Neck Cancers |
YF-3000.1480-310 |
Cancers that usually begin in the squamous cells that line the moist, mucosal surfaces inside the head and neck and are categorized by the areas of the head and neck in which they begin. Cancers of the oral cavity originate in the lips, the front two-thirds of the tongue, the gums, the lining inside the cheeks and lips, the floor (bottom) of the mouth under the tongue, the hard palate (bony top of the mouth), and the small area of the gum behind the wisdom teeth. Cancers of the throat originate in the pharynx which starts behind the nose and leads to the esophagus. Cancers may also form in the larynx (voicebox) which is located just below the pharynx and includes the vocal cords and epiglottis, the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity, and, more rarely, the salivary glands. Alcohol and tobacco use (including smokeless tobacco, sometimes called chewing tobacco or snuff) are the two most significant risk factors for head and neck cancers, especially cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx. Eighty-five percent of head and neck cancers are linked to tobacco use, and 75 percent are associated with a combination of tobacco and alcohol use. |
