This guide outlines a method for estimating the disease burden at national or local levels that are associated with maternal and child malnutrition. The goal is to help policy-makers and others quantify the increased risk associated with malnutrition, in terms of attributable mortality and morbidity, at country or local levels. The estimates will allow policy-makers to compare the disease burden of malnutrition for different countries, or regions within countries, and enable resources to be deployed more effectively. Repeated assessments will also allow trends to be monitored and the impact of interventions to be evaluated.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/MalnutritionEBD12.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/quantifying_ehimpacts/publications/MalnutritionEBD12.pdf</a> Type The nature or genre of the resource PDF Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Manual for the health care of children in humanitarian emergencies</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>The objective of this manual is to provide comprehensive guidance on child care in emergencies. Existing guidelines, such as IMCI, assume a functioning health system that facilitates the referral of children, which may not be available in emergency situations. So this manual also includes the initial management of severe conditions. It was also realized that existing manuals do not cover injuries, burns, neonatal illness, psychosocial problems etc, which are considered of high priority in emergency settings. These are addressed in this manual as well as issues on mental health, psychosocial support and common preventive interventions such as immunization. Each chapter summarizes the main ways of diagnosis, treatment and prevention using flow charts. The flow charts are arranged in such a way that they can be enlarged for use as job aids/wall charts, or for modular training at convenient times on the management of each condition. The manual is a collaborative work of three technical areas within WHO - Child and Adolescent Health and Development (CAH), Health Action in Crises (HAC), and Disease Control in Humanitarian Emergencies (DCE). Search keywords: earthquake, disaster.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.who.int/child_adolescent_health/documents/9789241596879/en/index.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.who.int/child_adolescent_health/documents/9789241596879/en/index.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Méthode pour l'évaluation simultanée de différentes amines en milieu de travail</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Amines are present in several chemicals, paints, adhesives, polymers and rubbers used in workplaces and pose diverse health risks to the workers exposed to them. In an initial step, researchers identified a reagent for simultaneously sampling three different amines and for doing a quantitative analysis. They have now developed this analytical method by using the same reagent to collect and analyze seven amines that are among those most likely to be used in Québec workplaces. This new approach, which can be used in evaluating workplace ambient air quality, has the advantage of including a unique sampling system, independent of the amine to be quantified, and that can be used at a sufficient flow rate to sample not only vapours, but also aerosols.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100295.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100295.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Nanoparticles - Actual Knowledge about Occupational Health and Safety Risks and Prevention Measures</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>Québec is very active in research in the field of nanoparticle development and nanotechnology. More than 35 production companies already exist or are in the start-up phase. It is believed that the number of Québec workers potentially exposed will grow over the next few years. To prevent the development of occupational diseases or the occurrence of accidents, the IRSST began a review of world-wide scientific knowledge to evaluate whether there are known risks associated with this emerging sector. An initial report addressing the health effects (R-451) shows that a limited number of toxicological studies exist, but all of these studies conclude that there are some health risks following exposure to nanoparticles. Although numerous risks are associated with the nature of nanoparticles, it has now been clearly established that toxicity is related to the surface area of these particles and not their mass, and that, for a given substance, the toxicity is much higher when it is of nanometric size than micrometric size. - The second report (R-455) summarizes current knowledge about nanoparticles, their synthesis and applications, health and safety risks, and the challenges in evaluating occupational exposure. Also discussed are nanoparticle-related occupational health and safety control and prevention aspects.</span> Description An account of the resource <a target="_blank" href="http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100210.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://www.irsst.qc.ca/en/_publicationirsst_100210.html</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
