In the United States, isolated outbreaks occurred in some cities including Los Angeles, [52] New York City, [53] Memphis, Nashville, San Francisco and St. Louis. [54] Overall American mortality rates were in the tens of thousands during the first six months of 1919. [55] Fourth wave of 1920 In spring 1920, a fourth wave occurred in isolated areas including New York City, [53] Switzerland, Scandinavia, [56] and some South American islands. [57] New York City alone reported 6,374 deaths between December 1919 and April 1920, almost twice the number of the first wave in spring 1918. [53] Other US cities including Detroit, Milwaukee, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. ... In Philadelphia, for example, 4,597 people died in the week ending 16 October, but by 11 November, influenza had almost disappeared from the city. One explanation for the rapid decline in the lethality of the disease is that doctors became more effective in the prevention and treatment of pneumonia that developed after the victims had contracted the virus. ... However, this 1991 study was criticized by later studies due to flawed methodology, and newer studies have published estimates of a far lower mortality rate in China. [73] [175] [74] For instance, Iijima in 1998 estimates the death toll in China to be between 1 and 1.28 million based on data available from Chinese port cities. [176] The lower estimates of the Chinese death toll are based on the low mortality rates that were found in Chinese port cities (for example, Hong Kong) and on the assumption that poor communications prevented the flu from penetrating the interior of China. [172] However, some contemporary newspaper and post office reports, as well as reports from missionary doctors, suggest that the flu did penetrate the Chinese interior and that influenza was severe in at least some locations in the countryside of China. [157] Although medical records from China's interior are lacking, extensive medical data was recorded in Chinese port cities, such as then British -controlled Hong Kong , Canton , Peking , Harbin and Shanghai . These data were collected by the Chinese Maritime Customs Service , which was largely staffed by non-Chinese foreigners, such as the British, French, and other European colonial officials in China. [177] As a whole, accurate data from China's port cities show astonishingly low mortality rates compared to other cities in Asia . [177] For example, the British authorities at Hong Kong and Canton reported a mortality rate from influenza at a rate of 0.25% and 0.32%, much lower than the reported mortality rate of other cities in Asia , such as Calcutta or Bombay , where influenza was much more devastating. [177] [74] Similarly, in the city of Shanghai – which had a population of over 2 million in 1918 – there were only 266 recorded deaths from influenza among the Chinese population in 1918. [177] If extrapolated from the extensive data recorded from Chinese cities, the suggested mortality rate from influenza in China as a whole in 1918 was likely lower than 1% – much lower than the world average (which was around 3–5%). [177] In contrast, Japan and Taiwan had reported a mortality rate from influenza around 0.45% and 0.69% respectively, higher than the mortality rate collected from data in Chinese port cities, such as Hong Kong (0.25%), Canton (0.32%), and Shanghai.

Prevalence of HIV/AIDS in adult (ages 15–49) populations (1999–2002) As of 2012 [update] , approximately 1,100,000 people in Malawi are HIV-positive , which represents 10.8% of the country's population. [1] Because the Malawian government was initially slow to respond to the epidemic under the leadership of Hastings Banda (1966–1994), the prevalence of HIV/AIDS increased drastically between 1985, when the disease was first identified in Malawi, and 1993, when HIV prevalence rates were estimated to be as high as 30% among pregnant women. [1] The Malawian food crisis in 2002 resulted, at least in part, from a loss of agricultural productivity due to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. [1] Various degrees of government involvement under the leadership of Bakili Muluzi (1994–2004) and Bingu wa Mutharika (2004–2012) resulted in a gradual decline in HIV prevalence, and, in 2003, many people living in Malawi gained access to antiretroviral therapy . [1] Condoms have become more widely available to the public through non-governmental organizations, and more Malawians are taking advantage of HIV testing services . [1] Due to several successful television and radio campaigns by the Malawian government and non-governmental organizations in Malawi, levels of awareness regarding HIV/AIDS are high among the general population. [2] However, many men have adopted fatalistic attitudes in response to the epidemic, convincing themselves that death from AIDS is inevitable; on the other hand, some have implemented preventive techniques such as partner selection to try to reduce their risk of infection. [3] Although many women have developed strategies to protect themselves from HIV, women are more likely to be HIV-positive than men in Malawi. [1] The epidemic has affected sexual relationships between partners, who must cooperate to protect themselves from the disease. [4] In addition, many teachers exclude HIV/AIDS from their curricula because they are uncomfortable discussing the topic or because they do not feel knowledgeable about the issue, and, therefore, many children are not exposed to information about HIV/AIDS at school. [5] Finally, the epidemic has produced significant numbers of orphans in Malawi, leaving children vulnerable to abuse and exploitation .

[7] President Hastings Banda , who was in power at the time, responded with several small-scale prevention initiatives and created the National AIDS Control Programme, a division of the Ministry of Health , to manage the growing epidemic. [1] Banda believed that issues relating to sex, including HIV transmission, should not be addressed in the public sphere; during this time, it was illegal for Malawian citizens to discuss the epidemic openly. [8] In 1989, Banda introduced a five-year World Bank Medium Term Plan to combat the epidemic, but HIV prevalence had already increased drastically at this point. [1] In 1994, when Bakili Muluzi became president, he addressed the nation's need for a coordinated response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. [1] In 2000, Muluzi introduced another five-year policy known as the National Strategic Framework, but, like Banda's five-year World Bank Medium Term Plan, this plan was largely ineffective. [1] In 2001, in response to problems within the National AIDS Control Programme established by Banda, Muluzi created the National AIDS Commission. [1] Unlike Banda, who prevented the public from accessing information about the epidemic, Muluzi ensured that information about HIV/AIDS was available on the radio and television, in newspapers, and on billboards. [8] However, despite Muluzi's efforts, HIV prevalence was already significantly influencing national agricultural productivity during this period, and Malawi experienced an AIDS-related nationwide famine in 2002. [1] Malawians gained access to antiretroviral drugs in 2003, and, with a donation from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and the election of new President Bingu wa Mutharika in 2004, government interventions increased substantially. [1] However, soon after his election, Mutharika experienced tensions with Muluzi after implementing an anti-corruption program, which distracted the government from addressing the nation's food and HIV/AIDS-related crises. [9] Despite these obstacles, Mutharika successfully developed a National AIDS Policy and appointed a Principal Secretary for HIV/AIDS during his presidency. [1] Awareness and risk perception [ edit ] Partners in Health worker with disease treatment literature in Malawi Despite Malawi's limited health and educational infrastructure, knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS is high among many people living in both urban and rural Malawi. [2] According to a 2004 study by Barden-O'Fallon et al. involving 100 households, women in Malawi are most likely to learn about HIV/AIDS through radio and television, health workers at local clinics, and female members of their social networks. [2] Men are also likely to access information about HIV/AIDS through radio and television; however, unlike women, they are not likely to gain information about HIV/AIDS from their male friends. [2] When 57 Malawian men were interviewed in 2003, 100% of them said they had heard about the HIV/AIDS epidemic on the radio, and 84.2% of them said they had learned about HIV/AIDS during their visits to local health facilities; this supports the fact that many people in Malawi have access to information about the epidemic, both through the radio and other sources. [8] Personal traits such as age, gender, location, and education correlate, either positively or negatively, with HIV/AIDS awareness levels. ... According to a 2003 study by Eliya Msiyaphazi Zulu and Gloria Chepngeno, although higher levels of education do correspond to greater knowledge about HIV/AIDS, education levels do not significantly impact the likelihood that couples will discuss HIV-related prevention strategies. [13] Economic impact [ edit ] Farmers with composting materials in Malawi A 2002 study conducted by CARE International across three districts in the Central Region of Malawi considers how HIV/AIDS has affected economic well-being in rural Malawi. [14] When skilled laborers are infected with HIV, they are usually unable to work; therefore, they often shift agricultural production on their land to less labor-intensive crops, sacrificing the opportunity to grow more profitable, labor-intensive crops such as tobacco . [15] When family members fall ill with HIV/AIDS, their relatives invest time in their treatment and care, further reducing household productivity. [14] In addition, when family members are infected with HIV, households often use the money they would normally invest in agriculture to cover medical expenses, further decreasing economic stability at the household level. [14] Finally, when adults contract HIV, their children often remain home from school to work in the fields, threatening long-term productivity and economic advancement in Malawi. [15] CARE International proposes several strategies that might reduce the destructive economic impact of HIV/AIDS on rural households . [14] They recommend introducing new technologies that improve productivity to allow households affected by HIV/AIDS to continue supporting themselves through agriculture. [14] Women in patrilineal / patrilocal villages are often unable to support themselves and their children when their husbands die of HIV/AIDS; therefore, helping women acquire traditionally masculine agricultural skills might decrease their vulnerability while improving agricultural productivity at the household and community levels. [14] CARE International recommends increasing cooperation at the community level by establishing labor and food banks in areas that have been devastated by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. [14] Finally, CARE International highlights the importance of increasing access to information about HIV/AIDS in Malawi to help families prepare for and cope with the economic burdens associated with the epidemic. [14] Impact on health services [ edit ] The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Malawi has been characterized by drastic declines in the number of health workers available to provide treatment and care and increasing strain on health services: more than half of all hospital admissions in Malawi are related to HIV/AIDS. [16] However, Malawi currently faces a significant deficit in human resources : only 159 doctors were practicing in Malawi in 2007. [17] The World Health Organization 's Essential Health Package recommends placing at least three health workers at every health facility in the country, but the vast majority of Malawi's health facilities fail to meet this standard. [17] While migration to more developed countries in search of better opportunities, also known as " brain drain ," is partially responsible for the shortage of health care workers in Malawi, many health care workers have been personally affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic; in fact, an average of 48 nurses die of HIV/AIDS in Malawi every year. [1] The HIV/AIDS epidemic has resulted in high levels of absenteeism among health workers in Malawi, who often leave work to spend time with HIV-positive friends or relatives, and the Malawian government has failed to respond to the declining number of full-time employees working in the health sector. [16] Health workers who are not chronically absent frequently abandon their jobs because they are unable to cope with the heavy patient loads or because they are afraid that working in a medical environment will increase their risk of becoming infected with HIV. [16] Malawi has adopted task shifting strategies to overcome the shortage of workers available for HIV/AIDS treatment and care. [17] Task shifting, which has been successful in many other regions, involves training less specialized health workers to perform health-related tasks that do not require professional training, such as the initiation of antiretroviral therapy . [17] For example, at Thyolo District Hospital , health workers spend one week learning how to initiate antiretroviral therapy in a classroom setting and an additional two weeks practicing their knowledge in a supervised clinical setting; after completing this course, they are legally (under Ministry of Health guidelines) allowed to initiate antiretroviral therapy. [17] Another form of task shifting involves training health-oriented counselors in HIV testing and counseling , which relieves nurses of this additional task. [17] Interventions [ edit ] Malawi has taken many steps towards slowing the spread of HIV/AIDS, such as increasing access to condoms and improving testing services and treatment options. [1] Many of these efforts have been funded by international donors including the World Bank , the Global Fund , the World Health Organization , the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS). [1] The World Bank has lent $407.9 million to Malawi, the Global Fund has agreed to give $390 million, and PEPFAR has donated $25 million for prevention and treatment campaigns. [1] Antiretroviral therapy [ edit ] The number of people using antiretroviral therapy in Malawi has increased dramatically in the past decade: between 2004 and 2011, an estimated 300,000 people gained access to antiretroviral treatment. [1] In addition to improving access to antiretroviral therapy, in 2008, Malawi introduced the World Health Organization 's treatment guidelines for antiretroviral therapy, which improved the quality of treatment available to Malawians. [1] However, Malawi's proposal for a new antiretroviral treatment plan in 2011, which would have cost $105 million per year, was rejected by the Global Fund , threatening Malawi's ability to continue expanding access to antiretroviral treatment. [1] In 2000, Malawi's Ministry of Health and Population began developing a plan to distribute antiretroviral drugs to the population, and, as of 2003, there were several sites providing antiretroviral drugs in Malawi. [16] The Lighthouse, a trust in Lilongwe that fights HIV/AIDS, provides antiretroviral drugs at a cost of 2,500 kwacha per month. [16] Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre provides antiretroviral therapy through its outpatient department, and Médecins Sans Frontières distributes antiretroviral drugs to patients for free in the Chiradzulu and Thyolo Districts. [16] Many different private providers sell antiretroviral drugs, particularly in cities; however, very few patients can afford to receive drugs from the private sector in Malawi. [16] In addition, private providers are not currently required to obtain certification before selling antiretroviral drugs, and, therefore, this practice is not closely monitored. [16] Finally, some employees receive access to antiretroviral drugs through the health insurance policies provided by their employers, but this practice is not widespread. [16] Due to the advent of antiretroviral drugs, HIV/AIDS has become a manageable disease for people who can access and afford treatment; however, antiretroviral therapy remains largely unaffordable and inaccessible to most people in Malawi. [16] For example, the South East region of Malawi has disproportionately low access to antiretroviral drugs. [1] In many rural areas, poor health infrastructure combined with widespread famine have made sustained, high-quality antiretroviral therapy difficult or impossible. [1] In addition, donations from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria were used to fund antiretroviral therapy programs that distributed medication on a "first-come, first-served" basis, making the drugs more accessible to the male, urban, educated population. [16] Because there are no explicit policies regarding the fair distribution of antiretroviral drugs in Malawi, individual health care workers often become responsible for deciding who will receive treatment, which inevitably leads to inequitable distribution. [16] Condom distribution [ edit ] Although condoms effectively prevent the sexual transmission of HIV, several factors have limited widespread condom distribution and uptake in Malawi. [1] People living in non-urban areas often have difficulty accessing condoms, and condoms are not typically available at bars and other social locations where they could have a significant impact on HIV prevention. [1] Many people oppose condoms because they believe that condoms make sex less enjoyable or because they question their ability to prevent the transmission of HIV. [1] However, despite these factors, many unmarried couples have started using condoms more consistently as concern and fear about the HIV/AIDS epidemic have increased. [4] Non-governmental organizations such as Population Services International (Malawi), an organization that strives to improve the health of Malawians, and Banja La Mtsogolo, an organization that distributes information and resources related to family planning , have conducted campaigns advertising condom use as an effective form of protection against HIV/AIDS. [1] Banja La Mtsogolo provides condoms to both men and women, and has significantly improved the availability of condoms for women in particular. [1] Because of efforts by Population Services International, Banja La Mtsogolo, and many other organizations, condoms have become more widely available to many people in Malawi. [1] Voluntary counseling and testing [ edit ] People living in areas with high rates of HIV/AIDS face several psychological barriers when deciding whether to undergo testing for HIV . [1] For example, people may prefer not to know if they are HIV-positive because, due to the obstacles they often face in gaining access to antiretroviral drugs, many view HIV/AIDS diagnoses as death sentences. [1] Others may simply believe that they are HIV-negative, either because they practice strict monogamy and consistently use condoms during sexual intercourse or because they are in denial about the prevalence of the disease. [1] However, despite these barriers, both mobile and static testing services have become more widely available in Malawi recently: 1,392 testing and counseling sites existed in 2011. [1] Certain non-governmental organization such as the Malawi AIDS Counseling and Resource Organisation (MACRO) provide door-to-door counseling and testing services, which have drastically improved the accessibility of HIV testing.

Primary empty sella syndrome occurs when a small anatomical defect above the pituitary gland increases pressure in the sella turcica and causes the gland to flatten out along the interior walls of the sella turcica cavity. [3] Primary empty sella syndrome is associated with obesity and increase in intracranial pressure in women. [9] In most cases, especially in people with primary empty sella syndrome, there are no symptoms and it does not affect life expectancy or health.

Abortion in Cameroon is only legal if the abortion will save the woman's life, the pregnancy gravely endangers the woman's physical or mental health, or the pregnancy is a result of rape . [1] Statistics [ edit ] In 1997, a survey in Yaoundé found 20 percent of women aged 20–29 had had at least one abortion. [2] [3] 80 percent of these procedures took place in a medical facility, but they were not always safe, and women often faced complications. [2] The odds that a pregnant woman would seek an abortion were increased if they were educated or had children. [2] Of women reporting past abortions, 40% had two or more. [2] The survey found that 35% of all reported pregnancies in the capital city ended in abortion. [3] Access to reproductive health care [ edit ] In 1990, the Cameroon government passed Act No. 90/035 to prohibit birth control education. [4] Reports found that abortion and secretive reproductive health services were widespread and made up 40 percent of OB/GYN emergency admissions. [4] However, most access to abortion clinics were limited to urban centers within the country.

Female genital mutilation in the United Kingdom is the ritual removal of some or all of the external female genitalia of women and girls living in the UK. According to Equality Now and City University London , an estimated 103,000 women and girls aged 15–49 were thought to be living with female genital mutilation (FGM) in England and Wales as of 2011. ... This marked the first time the guidelines included mention of FGM. [31] [32] The city with the highest prevalence of FGM in 2015 was London , at a rate of 28.2 per 1000 women aged 15-49, by far the highest. [33] The borough with the highest rate was Southwark , at 57.5 per 1000 women, while mainly rural areas of the UK had prevalence rate below 1 per 1000. [33] In 2015 police acquired the UK’s first FGM protection order. [34] This was acquired under a new law, the Serious Crime Act 2015 , which allows such protection orders. [34] It also allows the combating of FGM by judges remanding people in custody, ordering mandatory medical checks, and instructing girls believed to be at risk of FGM to live at a certain address so authorities can see whether they have been mutilated.
