Initial Process

Background: Stroke is one of main causes of morbimortality in Brazil, even though it has prevention and care strategies, showing need to improve strategies1 . Digital Health Solutions (DHS) can implement stroke prevention strategies, strengthening patient care and management2 . Objective: To describe initial process of developing DHS with stroke theme (ST) based on public research. Methodology: Cross-sectional study based on form with 12 questions, which outline a profile of users about DHS with ST. Form was aimed at people over 18 year-old who did not have an academic background in human health. Study carried out by the Google Forms® between January and April 2021. Results: With 80 participants, 51.2% women and 48.8% men. 20% under 20 years, 73.8% between 20 and 40, 2.5% between 40 and 60, and 3.7% over 60 years. 62.4% seek knowledge about health from unofficial sources. 62.5% report they rarely seek health information. 67.5% do not have knowledge to detect stroke. Although 32.5% have a DHS on their phones, 97.5% consider it important to learn about stroke in DHS, and 83.8% are interested in it. 55% would use it to recognize a stroke, 25% to have prevention information, 8.8% to use it in urgency, and 11.2% marked three items. 85% never used DHS with ST. Conclusion: Findings shows DHS with ST would educate in health and help people with suspected stroke. DHS would assist in creation of health promotion and stroke prevention.

Background. Concern with suicide measurement is a positive, albeit relatively recent, development. A concern with “the social loss from suicide” requires careful attention to appropriately measuring the phenomenon. This paper applies two different methods of measuring suicide data: the conventional age-standardized suicide (count) rate; and the alternative rate, the potential years of life lost (PYLL) rate. Aims. The purpose of applying these two measures is to place suicide in Queensland in a historical and comparative (relative to other causes of death) perspective. Methods. Both measures are applied to suicide data for Queensland since 1920. These measures are applied also to two “largish” causes of death and two “smaller” causes of death, i.e., circulatory diseases, cancers, motor vehicle accidents, suicide. Results. The two measures generate quite different pictures of suicide in Queensland: Using the PYLL measure, suicide is a quantitatively larger issue than is indicated by the count measure. Conclusions. The PYLL measure is the more appropriate measure for evaluation exercise of public health prevention strategies. This is because the PYLL measure is weighted by years of life lost and, thus, it incorporates more information than the count measure which implicitly weights each death with a somewhat partial value, viz. unity.

Abstract. Sati as an act of ritual suicide has been reported from the Indian subcontinent, especially among the Hindus, for several centuries. Although legally proscribed, these acts occur even now in modern India. The principle behind such acts has been put forward as the principle of good wife. There is little evidence to suggest that women who commit this act suffer from a formal mental illness. Cultural factors and gender role expectations play a significant role in the act and its consequences. Using recent examples, this paper illustrates the cultural factors, which may be seen as contributing to the act of suicide. Other factors embedded in the act also emphasize that not all suicides have underlying psychiatric disorders and clinicians must take social causation into account while preparing any prevention strategies.

Summary: This pilot study looks at the frequency of suicide among Danish soldiers who took part in the UN mandated forces (UNMF) during the 1990's. In a contingent of nearly 4000 Danish UN soldiers four suicides were documented, two of whom committed suicide less than one month before deployment and two who committed suicide within a year after discharge from mission. Contributing factors, prevention strategies, and implications for future research are discussed.
