Non Communicable Disease

The 70-year experience of China in fighting against non-communicable diseases (NCDs) can be classified into three distinct periods: 1) the disease-oriented strategy period (from 1950 to 1994); 2) the risk factor-focused strategy period (from 1995 to 2008); and 3) the social and policy priority strategy period (since 2009). A number of projects were successful and valuable experience and lessons were accumulated during the three periods. Due to the underestimation of the ‘explosive’ epidemic of NCDs, however, it took China quite a long time to find the right path to curb the upward trend in these diseases. In this commentary, the authors review the evolution of strategies and the healthcare service system, examine advances and challenges, and summarize experience and lessons in NCD control in China. In view of development, China’s experience may have valuable implications for other low- and middle-income countries.

Cancer is a non-communicable disease, or NCD (Noncommunicable diseases). It becomes a second causative factor of mortality in global. In some cases and scientific journals that show a high problem of drug use in cancer patients. The purpose of this research is to identify the use of sitostatica drugs which are reviewed from a variety of literature. This study uses literature study research. Literature study is a research conducted by researchers by collecting a number of library data relating to the problem and research objectives. Result showed there are the most inaccurate drug diagnosis criteria for patients are 16 cases (22.86%). Inaccuracy in most doses is 21 cases (29.18%). the most inaccurate dose inaccuracy is 127 cases (36.38%), inaccurate indications include the need to add drugs the most is 26 cases (25.49%), drugs without the most indications are 11 cases (10.78%) , inaccurate duration of administration of the most drugs is 15 cases (23.43%), the criteria for alerting for the most side effects are 208 cases (59.59%) the right criteria for the administration method is 100%, the patient is 100% right, and the right submission (dispensing) and information at 100%.Keywords: DrugCancerEvaluationDRPABSTRAKSalah satu penyakit tidak menular adalah Kanker, disebut juga dengan NCD (Noncommunicable diseases) serta merupakan faktor kedua penyebab kematian di dunia.

Abstract Objectives To explore the mechanisms of collaboration between the stakeholders, including National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP) and the Non-Communicable Disease Control and Prevention Program (NCDCP) at the national, regional, and local (health facility) levels of the health care system in Ghana. This is one of the objectives in a study on the “Barriers and Facilitators to the Implementation of the Collaborative Framework for the Care and Control of Tuberculosis and Diabetes in Ghana” Results The data analysis revealed 4 key themes. These were (1) Increased support for communicable diseases (CDs) compared to stagnant support for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), (2) Donor support, (3) Poor collaboration between NTP and NCDCP, and (4) Low Tuberculosis-Diabetes Mellitus (TB-DM) case detection.

Non Communicable Disease

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic non-communicable disease, with a prevalence of 25% worldwide. This pathology is a multifactorial illness, and is associated with different risks factors, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Beside these predisposing features, NAFLD has been related to changes in the microbiota, which favor the disease progression. In this context, the modulation of the gut microbiota has emerged as a new therapeutic target for the prophylaxis and treatment of NAFLD. This review describes the changes in the gut microbiota associated with NAFLD and the effect of probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics on the gut microbiota, liver damage, anthropometric parameters, blood lipids, inflammation markers and insulin resistance in these patients.

Non Communicable Disease

Over the past years there is a substantial wave of migrants and refugees all over the world. Europe accepts approximately one-third of the international migrant population with Greece, in particular, having received large numbers of refugees and migrants by land and sea since the beginning of the civil war in Syria. Diabetes, a non-communicable disease, is a global health problem, affecting people in developing countries, refugees and migrants, and its basic treatment tool includes self-management and education. In this pilot study, we organized educational, interactive group sessions for diabetic refugees, based on culture, health, and nutritional needs according to a questionnaire developed for the study. The sessions were weekly, for two months, in the context of primary healthcare, organized by a dietitian. Nine individuals completed the sessions, five of nine were diagnosed in Greece and seven of nine needed diabetes education. Their waist circumference was above normal and they were all cooking at home. Their nutritional habits improved by attending the sessions and the interaction helped their social integration. They all found the sessions useful, and felt more self-confident regarding diabetes control and healthier.
