Comprehensive Review of the Literature. This Chapter will review the literature regarding the background of travel medicine, international travelers and tourism, travel-related risk, travel-related illness, travelers’ health risk profile, travelers’ perception of risk, travel medicine consultation, and gaps in knowledge. Also, this chapter will explore the public health implication, and travel health prevention during travel. Travel medicine is a branch of medicine that specializes in diseases and conditions acquired during travel. It creates awareness in travelers who seek medical consultation before travel by discussing the risk of acquiring diseases and injury that are not common in their own country. Travel medicine falls as far back as hundred or even a thousand years ago when healers or practitioners informed missionaries, explorers, military combatants about the extreme hazards of their occupations. (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2004). Today, travel medicine focuses on travel related to tourism, business, research, education, ecotourism, humanitarian work, family visitation, and migration and internally displaced people. Travel medicine has grown substantially in the last 2- 3 decades and continues to grow and become a critical aspect of medicine that needs continual update. Xxx Xxxxxxxx et al. stated, “that with the movement of people over centuries of exploration, documentation exists for the spread of diseases such as plagues, yellow fever, malaria, and cholera.” However, today travelers not only face disease of decades ago, but also the fear of acquiring new, and re-emerging illnesses such as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, dengue fever, Lassa fever, Human Monkey pox, H5N1 avian influenza, cryptosporidiosis, vancomycin resistance staphylococcus aureus, typhoid fever, multidrug resistant tuberculosis, HIV, legionellosis, schistosomiasis, rabies, influenza, and meningitis. Others health risks include injuries and exacerbation of underlying illness. Due to these problems in the late 1970s, clinicians started exploring the medical requirements and recommendations that ensures safe travel. (Xxxxxxxx et al., 2004). Over time, international tourist arrival has snowballed from 25 million globally in 1950 to 278 million in 1980, 674 million in 2000 (UNTWO, 2017). International tourist arrival has sustained growth for the past consecutive years now. In 2017 international tourist reached a total of 1.3 billion, which was 86 million more than in 2016 (UNTWO, 2018). The World Tourism Organization’s long-term forecas...

Comprehensive Review of the Literature. Leprosy Immunology The impacts and effects of leprosy on infected individuals has a lot to do with the host immune system. The particular pathways and exact mechanisms in the immune system of leprosy infected patients is still being researched, but studies have shown that manifestations and symptoms are highly driven by the host immune system [5, 6]. Since leprosy is impossible to culture in a laboratory, it is difficult to determine immunologic implications of infection on different individual host immune systems. Clinical representation of leprosy infection occurs on a spectrum defined as the Xxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Classification (Figure 1).

The abortion ratio of overall, Hispanic and non-Hispanic are 214, 192 and 220 per 1,000 live births respectively. Non-Hispanic white women had the lowest abortion ratios (140 abortions per 1,000 live births), whereas non-Hispanic black women had the highest abortion ratios (472 abortions per 1,000 live births). There is no abortion trends by race/ethnicity because CDC began compiling this variable since 2007. Women aged 20- 29 years accounted for the majority (57.1%) of abortions and had the highest abortion rates (29.6 and 21.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 20-24 and 25-29 years, respectively). Women in the youngest and oldest age groups had the smallest percentage of abortions (0.5% and 3.1% respectively).

Comprehensive Review of the Literature. To develop a nutrition curriculum for resettling refugee women in Clarkston, it is necessary to first understand the context within which the curriculum will be implemented, along with the methods and theories for curriculum development used in similar settings for similar purpose. This section reviews the literature on food insecurity among U.S. refugees and explores methods for integrating nutrition education and English literacy classes. Lastly empowerment theory is discussed as a pedagogical foundation for nutrition education targeted to refugees. In 1996, the World Food Summit defined food security as the time “when all people at all times have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life” (FAO 2008). This definition includes four dimensions: physical availability of food, economic and physical access to food, food utilization, and stability of other three dimensions over time (FAO 2008). In other words, for a population to be considered food secure, they must have consistent access to food that is nutritionally adequate and culturally appropriate, and they must be able to utilize the food in a way that sufficient energy and nutrient intake results. Food insecurity can be either acute or chronic. Acute food insecurity usually occurs when there is a sudden inability to produce or access an adequate food supply. This may happen as a result of fluctuating food availability, including seasonal variations and domestic food production, or from changing food prices and unstable household income (FAO 2008). Conversely, chronic food insecurity occurs when people cannot access minimum food requirements for an extended length of time. This is usually the result of poverty or the inability to access adequate resources (FAO 2008). In 2013, roughly 14.3% of households in the United States were food insecure for at least part of the year (Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxx 2014); the estimated prevalence of 'very low food security' was 5.6%. ‘Very low food insecurity’ occurs when “the food intake of some household members was reduced and normal eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year due to limited resources” (Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, and Singh 2014). In Georgia, 16.6% of households reported food insecurity, of which 6.0% reported very low food security. In 2013, the most common conditions for classification of very low food security w...

Comprehensive Review of the Literature. The goal of this literature review is to synthesize existing research on unwanted pregnancy and abortion decision-making. Given that literature on the target population, women in the Amazon region of Colombia, is limited, the included studies examine unwanted pregnancy and abortion among similar populations and in similar contexts, in hopes of providing context for the study. Four primary criteria were used to select relevant studies for this literature review: • Study documents incidence of unwanted pregnancy and abortion in the context of Latin America, Colombia, and/or among other Amazon populations in Latin America • Study uses quantitative or qualitative methods to identify determinants or influences of unwanted pregnancy and or abortion among poor, rural, and/or indigenous populations • Study examines social, health, and economic effects of unwanted pregnancy and abortion among poor, rural, and/or indigenous populations • Study elucidates unwanted pregnancy and abortion decision-making process among poor, rural, and/or indigenous women. The literature review is divided into five sections. The first provides an overview of unwanted pregnancy and abortion terminology. The second section elucidates the global burden of unwanted pregnancy and abortion, with a focus on Colombia. The third section discusses the legality of abortion in Colombia. The fourth section provides an overview of relevant research on the topic. In this section research is categorized by study topic and the nature of the findings. And lastly, the fifth section identifies gaps in the literature, and expresses the need for more research in the topic area.
