Body Scrub : Melancarkan Peredaran Darah

Meskipun termasuk masih baru di dunia barat, scrub tubuh ini sudah menjadi tradisi di negara-negara timur tengah selama berabad-abad. Gunakan scrub tubuh apabila Anda merasa perlu melakukan pembersihan secara mendalam untuk peredaran darah

Scrub buah jeruk
Scrub buah jeruk beraroma segar dan memiliki tekstur agak kasar yang dapat membantu membuang sel-sel kulit mati dan merangsag pasokan darah. Kulit Anda pun terasa segar dan sehat. Resep di bawah ini cukup untuk lima kali perawatan :

45 ml biji bunga matahari yang sudah dihaluskan
45 mlm bubur oat medium
45 ml garam laut kasar
45 ml kulit jeruk yang sudah diparut
15 ml kulit lemon yang diparut
3 tetes minyak essential grape fruit
botol kaca tertutup
minyak almond

Campur semua bahan hingga merata dan simpan dalam bejana kaca yang tertutup rapat. Ketika siap untuk perawatan, ambil 1/5 bagian scrub. Setelah itu, dalam sebuah mangkuk dangkal, campur bahan dengan minyak almond sampai menjadi semacam pasta. Buka semua pakaian dan berdirilah di dalam bath up. Oleskan scrub tadi di seluruh tubuh sambil dipijat dengan lembut. Berikan perhatian khusus pada area kulit kering dan keras seperti sikut, lutut dan tumit. Bersihkan sisa-sisa scrub sebelum berendam atau menyiram

INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL HEALTH (Short Course)

Program Miliarder

Software dan Ratusan Ebook Bisnis sebesar 1.200 MB untuk di download

Software Pembuat Website lengkap dengan Ebook dan Video Tutorial

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

This introduction in International Health provide health professionals with a broad and interdisciplinary training. It combines clinical and biomedical knowledge and skills with a systemic approach to health care organization and disease control. The broad perspective of international health policy and specific inputs from social sciences will help students grasp the complex picture of health and health care in low-resource settings. The integration of these different disciplines is a key feature of the programme.

For most students, this course will be the start of a challenging career in international health, while for others, who already have experience working in lo-and middle-income countries, it offers the broad perspective needed before specializing. This module stands on its own yet it is, together with the specialized module on clinical and biomedical sciences of tropical diseases, making up the postgraduate course in tropical medicine and international health. We advise medical doctors, biomedical and pharmaceutical scientists with little or no professional experience in developing countries, to follow both modules.

1. PROGRAMME

The situation of health, health problems and health care in this fast moving, globalizing world is extremely diverse and difficult to capture with the language of medicine alone, both in terms of assessment of the situation and of action to be developed. Problems range from the rather simple, technical kind, where evidence is available on what to do, over more challenging ones such as dealing with human beings in healthcare organizations to the very complex processes of decision making at national and international policy levels, involving values, interests and power.

This course offers a theoretical evidence-basis and a basic set of conceptual frameworks, models and tools to enable participants 1) to analyze health problems at a population level and grasp the logic of the strategies to control them, 2) to initiate them in planning and implementation of health care services and 3) to introduce them to the specificity of care provision in low-0resource setting ("medicine in the tropics versus tropical medicine"). Inputs from social sciences and health policy will complete the broader picture of the international health scene.

The course is structured along the following 7 thematic blocks:

1. Vector-borne diseases: a comprehensive approach to prevention and control;

2. Integrated TB care;

3. HIV/AIDS: from patient to policy;

4. Safe Motherhood: a complex problem requiring a systemic approach;

5. Targeting health of the next generation;

6. Health care organization in emergency situations;

7. Health care delivery systems for defined populations.

The thematic blocks are preceded by a 3-week introduction during which students are taught basic concepts and methods in public health, epidemiology and statistics, socio-anthropology and international health policy. The concepts and methods introduced during the first 2 weeks all find wide application within these blocks.

The first three thematic blocks take specific health problems as an entry point for the discussion of important international health issues, while the subsequent four blocks address the provision of health care for specific social groups, hence offering another challenging opportunity to integrate the perspectives of different disciplines including biomedical and clinical sciences and disease control. This module also helps students to develop basic skills in appreciating laboratory results, critical reading of scientific publications and applying basic statistical and epidemiological concepts and methods. Several assignments, organized as individual or coached group work, will challenge participants to integrate the acquired knowledge and skills.

All study units, i.e. the two-week introduction, the 7 thematic blocks and the assignments, are compulsory.

Learning objectives of the course:

At the end of the course students should be able to

discuss determinants of health in general and of health care seeking behavior in particular;
analyze the main biomedical, clinical and epidemiological aspects of the major health problems in developing countries in order to manage their prevention and control at population and individual level;
organize primary health care services taking into account local priorities and resource availability as well as the perspective of communities and patients;
describe the major issues in international health policy and development cooperation;
critically analyze disease control programs, applying scientific tools and methods;
collaborate professionally in multi-disciplinary teams.

2. TEACHING METHODS

The course uses a combination of state of the art lectures, interactive classes, individual study, coached team work and practical laboratory work.

The lectures have hands-on overseas experience and come from all departments of the ITM as well as from external institutions. Their field experience and scientific work feeds extensively into the course.

3. EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATE

At the end of the course, a theoretical exam is organized consisting of multiple choice questions as well as integrated essay questions. Students who pass the module receive a credit certificate.

4. DURATION OF THE COURSE

The course run from the second Monday of September until the start of the Christmas holidays in December (15 weeks). It is a full-time programme of 360 contact hours and students are expected to dedicate another 15 to 20 hours per week to personal study and group work.

5. COURSE LANGUAGE

The course is organized simultaneously in French and English.

6. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Applicants for this course need a degree in Medicine or a university (master) degree (min 240 ECTS credits) in biomedical or pharmaceutical sciences. Other health professionals, such as health economists and health sociologists, are welcome to apply on condition that they are holder of a university degree (min 240 ECTS credits, minimum 4 years of academic full-time training) and have a minimum of 2 years relevant professional experience in international health in low-or middle income countries.

For organizational purposes, a maximum of 50 students per language group is admitted. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Application forms can be downloaded from www.itg.be (teaching & training > course-overview) or can be obtained from the course secretariat. For deadlines, please consult the overview table of our brochure or on our website.

This short course is accredited as core module of the Master in International Health of the tropEd network.

The broad perspective of international health policy and specific inputs from social sciences will help students grasp the complex picture of health and health care in low-resource settings. The integration of these different disciplines is a key feature of the programme.

For most students, this course will be the start of a challenging carrer in international health, while for others, who already have experience working in low and middle income countries, it offers the broad perspective need before specializing. Through its new flexible structure in two modules, students can register for the whole programme or for selected modules.

1. PROGRAMME

Module 1: Introduction to International Health (15 weeks, 20 credits)

The first module offers a theoretical evidence-basis and a basic set of conceptual frameworks, models and tools to enable participants to analyze health problems at a population level and grasp the logic of the strategies to control them, to initiate them in planning and implementation of health care services and to introduce them to the specificity of care provision in low-resource settings ("medicine in the tropics versus tropical medicine").

The entire module is structured along the following 7 thematic blocks:

1) Vector-borne disease: a comprehensive approach to prevention and control;

2) Integrated TB care;

3) HIV/AIDS: from patient to policy;

4) Safe Motherhood: a complex problem requiring a systemic approach;

5) Targeting health of the next generation;

6) Health care organization in emergency situations;

7) Health care delivery systems for defined populations.

The thematic blocks are preceded by a 3-week introduction during which students are taught basic concepts and methods in public health, epidemiology and statistics, socio-anthropology and international health policy. The concepts and methods introduced during the first 3 weeks all find wide application within the blocks.

The first three thematic blocks take specific health problems as an entry point for the discussion of important international health issues, while the subsequent four blocks address the provision of health care for specific social groups, hence offering another challenging opportunity to integrate the perspectives of different disciplines, including biomedical and clinical sciences and disease control. Module 1 also helps students to develop basic skills in appreciating laboratory results, critical reading of scientific publications and applying basic statistical and epidemiological concepts and methods. Several assignments, organized as individual or coached group work, will challenge participants to integrate the acquired knowledge and skills.

All study units, i.e. the 3-week introduction, the 7 thematic blocks and the assignment are compulsory.

Learning objectives of Module 1:

At the end of the module students should be able to:

Discuss determinants of health in general and of health care seeking behavior in particular;
Analyze the main biomedical, clinical and epidemiological aspects of the major health problems in developing countries in order to manage their prevention and control at population and individual level;
Organize primary health care services taking into account local priorities and resource availability as well as the perspective of communities and patients;
Describe the major issues in international health policy and development cooperation;
Critically analyze disease control programs, applying scientific tools and methods;
Collaborate professionally in multi-disciplinary teams.

Module 2: Clinical and biomedical sciences of tropical diseases (8 weeks- 10 credits)

Module 2 provides a specialized training on tropical diseases for medical doctors on the one hand and biomedical scientist and pharmacists on the other. Its main aim is to provide health professionals from non-tropical countries on additional training in the diagnosis and management of tropical diseases, topics which are not or only minimally covered by university undergraduate curricula.

Programme of Module 2 for medical doctors:

descriptive pathology of tropical diseases; laboratory skills training focusing on tropical diseases and diagnostic tests available in low-resource settings; clinical decision-making; dermatology, ophthalmology, micronutrient deficiencies.

Learning objectives of Module 2 for medical doctors:

At the end of this module students should be able to:

Master the biomedical, clinical and epidemiological features of tropical diseases and micronutrient deficiencies;
Perform basic laboratory tests and interpret their results;
Rank the most appropriate diagnoses according to likelihood, explore a differential diagnosis and discuss clinical management in low and middle income countries through an in-depth analysis of the epidemiological context, clinical epidemiological findings, laboratory and imaging results, taking into account the scarcity of resources

Programme of Module 2 for biomedical scientists and pharmacists:

problem-based cases on tropical diseases and laboratory management; lectures on capita selecta; laboratory skills training.

Learning objectives of Module 2 for biomedical scientists and pharmacists:

At the end of this module students should be able to:

2. TEACHING METHODS

The course uses a combination of state of the art lectures, interactive classes, individual study, coached team work, practical laboratory work and problem-based learning.

3. EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATE

At the end of module 1, theoretical exams are organized. The theoretical exams consist of multiple choice questions as well as integrated essay questions. At the end of module 2, theoretical (multiple choice) and oral exams are organized, as well as a practical laboratory exam. Students who pass a module receive a credit certificate. Upon successful in Tropical Medicine and International Health and biomedical scientists and pharmacists the Postgraduate Certificate in Tropical Biomedical Sciences and International Health.

4. DURATION OF THE COURSE

The entire training programme (Module 1 & 2) lasts 5 months. Module 1 runs from the second Monday of September until the start of the Christmas holidays in December (15 weeks). Module 2 starts early January and finishes by the end of February (8 weeks).

It is a full-time programme of 600 contact hours and students are expected to dedicate another 15 to 20 hours per week to personal study and group work.

5. LANGUAGE

The course is organized simultaneously in French and English.

Module 2 for biomedical scientist and pharmacists will only be taught in English.

6. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Applicants for Module 1 and 2 need a degree in Medicine or a university (master) degree (min 240 ECTS credits) in biomedical or pharmaceutical sciences. For Module 1 other health professionals, such as health economists and health sociologists, are welcome to apply on condition that they are holder of a university degree (min 240 ECTS credits, minimum 4 years of academic full-time training) and have a minimum of 2 years relevant professional experience in international health in low-or middle income countries.

For organizational purposes, a maximum of 50 students is admitted for each language. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Clinical research in low to middle income countries is at the moment often conceived and implemented by specialized (foreign funded) institutions involving local and expatriate staff who pursue an academic career. Local clinicians in regional and national hospitals (even district hospitals) are often operationally involved in the data collection. This leads to frustration as it becomes a mechanic business. These same clinicians, however, are aware that there is much information they could use themselves to do ‘low scale' research to enhance their own decision making. While the former academically oriented clinicians develop their research skills through doctoral study programs the latter miss training opportunities covering their needs. The SCREM aims at filling this gap.

The SCREM targets professionals who are responsible for clinical quality assurance, for local guideline and/or algorithm development and for coaching junior staff in clinical research. More specifically: medical superintendents, heads of clinical or nursing departments, heads of labs pharmacists, all in referral and/or reference hospitals, thesis supervisors in medical schools/faculties/ nursing and laboratory schools, public health staff in charge of development of national or regional clinical guideline.

1. PROGRAM

Content

Starting from a practical question participants encountered in their clinical work, a critical analysis of literature is done and an applied research protocol is identified at the start of the course.

The following contents will be contextualized individually and/or in small groups:

Protocol development: from observation to hypothesis, from hypothesis to study methodology and sampling populations;
Statistics: basic statistical software use, interpretation and mastering the dialogue with the statistician, how to present statistical information for a proposal, a paper or a report;
Presentation of results in a written (abstract) and oral (power point presentation) way;
Critical reading: pitfalls in research (bias in hypothesis, in inclusion, in analysis, in interpretation, in applicability);
Literature search: how to run a literature search, levels and types of evidence of published research;
Principles of EBM & Introduction into constructing and evaluating guidelines and algorithms;
IT skills: Excel, Reference Manager, Statistical program (Stata, Epi Info or SPSS)

Seminars:

Standard Operating Procedures (SOP);
Ethical aspects of research;
Research funding;
Introduction to principles of GCP.

Learning objectives:

At the end of this course the participant should be able to:

Retrieve relevant published articles relative to the research question and evaluate relevance of clinical research results in relation to a concrete low resource setting;
Design a research project in the filed of aetiology of health problems, effectiveness and efficiency of diagnostics, clinical management and disease prevention in low resource settings;
Apply principles of EBM. This includes the ability to use gathered evidence in guideline and algorithm development and the ability to evaluate guidelines;
Communicate research results to both professional and scientific communities in written and oral way.

In addition, the participant will gain basic comprehension of:

Pitfalls of implementation of research projects;
Writing standard operation procedures;
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and ethics in clinical research;
Writing a research grant application including budget and identifying sources of funding for small-scale research projects.

2. TEACHING METHODS

Training in research skills and EBM is a question of "learning by doing" so the course will not be a "rushing through a lot of information" but a hands-on introduction to research and EBM based on a personal project. This method will allow participants to learn while practicing. The course will mainly use adult learning methods. This means a problem oriented training in small groups with regular plenary sessions, coached by a tutor. Throughout the course participants will work on a personal project. Consultants will be invited to discuss specific problems: ethics, statistics, funding etc. based on the different protocols developed by participants, taking them as field examples.

3. EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATE

Evaluation consists of an individual portfolio assessment (5 personal pieces of work required: a description of personal learning interests for the course and 4 pieces chosen by the participant from the different assignments in the course) (70% of final mark) and an individual oral presentation of final research protocol, marked by an expert panel (30% of final mark).

Upon successful completion of this course, students are awarded an ITM credit Certificate in Clinical Research and Evidence-Based Medicine.

4. DURATION OF THE COURSE

The program lasts 6 weeks starting from the second Monday of November.

For a work load of maximum 45 hours, some 26 hours will be contact hours: the major part will be group work alternated with plenary sessions, commented by consultants. One morning a week will be systematically free for personal work.

5. LANGUAGE

The course is organized in English. Students should be able to read and interpret perfectly English texts. Non-native English speakers or participants who did not use English as course language during previous academic studies should reach a TOEFL score 580 (paper based), 230 (computer based), or an IELTS of 6.5.
