  • Plain Talk About Childhood Immunization
    PLAIN TALK ABOUT CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION This 2018 edition was developed and edited by the following public and private organizations: Washington State Department of Health Immunization Action Coalition of Washington (WithinReach) Public Health – Seattle & King County Snohomish Health District Spokane Regional Health District This publication was made possible, in part, by cooperative agreement #IP000762 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For persons with disabilities, this document is available on request in other formats. To submit a request, please call 1-800-525-0127 (TDD/TTY call 711). A MESSAGE TO PARENTS Dear Parents: Thank you for your interest in learning more about immunizations. As parents, we make important decisions that affect our children. Immunizing your child is one of these decisions. We all want to make good choices and do what’s best for our children. As a community, we must protect our own health and work together to protect each other’s health. Choosing to immunize is one of the most important decisions you can make to protect yourself, your children, your family, and the community from diseases that vaccines prevent. These diseases still occur in our communities. In 2012, Washington State had an epidemic of whooping cough, with more cases than we’ve had since the 1940s. Washington also had a mumps outbreak in 2016-2017 and measles outbreaks in 2008, 2014, and 2015, including one death in 2015. We want parents to make informed health decisions based on accurate information. There is an overwhelming amount of vaccine-related material out there and we know that parents, healthcare professionals, school nurses, child care providers, and others want information that is accurate, trustworthy, and clear.

  • Study of Commercial Product Range and Rules of Use of Medical Thermometers
    Study of commercial product range and rules of use of medical thermometers I. I. Baranova1, O. E. Makarova1, S. V. M. Kovalenko1, S. V. Breusova1, S. A. Kutsenko2, M. V. Khalavka2 1Department of Commodity Science, National University of Pharmacy, Kharkiv 61002, Ukraine, 2Department of Industrial Technology of Drugs, National University of Pharmacy, Kharkiv 61002, Ukraine Abstract Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the assortment, purpose, principles of work, and commodity characteristics of medical thermometers, which are present in the modern pharmaceutical market of Ukraine. Materials and Methods: Logical and analytical methods were used for the analysis of the data of specialized literature and the regulatory legal framework, as well as the data of the state registration, which are presented in the state register ORIGINAL ARTICLE ORIGINAL of medical equipment and medical products in the group: Medical thermometers. Results and Discussion: The commercial product range of medical thermometers, their varieties and structural features, and principles of work is analyzed. The data from our carried out research work indicate the relevance of further study for this assortment segment of medical products to systematize medical thermometers and analyze in detail the consumer characteristics of them. Conclusions: Based on the analysis of the Ukrainian market, it was established that the dominant positions in the range of medical thermometers were occupied by foreign manufacturers from China, Japan, USA, Great Britain, and Germany. Ukraine needed to improve its own research in the field of development of new types of this product, as well as to take over the experience of foreign manufacturers regarding the variety of additional functions for thermometers, their range, and methods of their manufacture.

  • Misperceptions As Political Conflict: Using Schattschneider’S Conflict Theory to Understand Rumor Dynamics
    International Journal of Communication 10(2016), 2596–2615 1932–8036/20160005 Misperceptions as Political Conflict: Using Schattschneider’s Conflict Theory to Understand Rumor Dynamics JILL A. EDY ERIN E. RISLEY-BAIRD University of Oklahoma, USA Publicly confronting political misperceptions enacts political conflict, generating communicative forms of public resistance as well as psychological resistance. Applying Schattschneider’s classic model of interest group political conflict to communication by those who publicly resisted messages debunking the misperception that vaccinations can cause autism offers insight into how misperceptions evolve and survive in public discourse. It also extends the model, establishing its relevance for contemporary forms of political conflict. Faced with debunking, believers socialize conflict, inviting audiences to join the struggle on their side, and alter the debate’s terms such that discussion escapes control by authorities. The resulting political debate is a moving target with changing standards of evidence. Consequently, confronting political misperceptions may generate activism that encourages misperceptions to evolve and spread. Keywords: political misperceptions, rumors, Schattschneider, public health, vaccines, Internet The language used to talk about false beliefs indicates the aspect of the phenomenon to which attention is drawn. The term misperception emphasizes the psychological characteristics of belief in the untruth, such as motivated reasoning. Political psychologists and political communication scholars alike ask what sorts of messages might correct false beliefs and how such messages are processed by receivers. Misperception believers are conceptualized much as voters or audiences are—as consumers of messages. Although the essential difference between a misperception and a rumor is that rumors are sometimes true while misperceptions are always false,1 the language of rumors is largely lost in Jill A.

  • Medical Devices and the Veterans Administration
    Medical Devices and the Veterans Administration February 1985 NTIS order #PB87-117677 Recommended Citation: Medical Devices and the Veterans Administration—A Technical Memorandum (Washing- ton, DC: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA-TM-H-16, February 1985). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 85-600509 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Preface This technical memorandum is part of a larger assessment of Federal policies and the medi- cal devices industry, requested by the Senate Committee on Labor and Human Resources. In its endorsement of the overall assessment, the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs requested the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) to address specifically the activities of the Vet- erans Administration (VA) regarding device development and procurement. The VA is an im- portant provider of medical devices and services for diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the veteran population. OTA found that the VA’s current system of medical device-related research, development, evaluation, procurement, and use has a number of weaknesses. Better analytical methods for evaluating and procuring the most appropriate devices at least cost could be applied at various points in technology development and use. In addition, VA research and development, evalua- tion, and procurement could be better integrated. Several new VA programs and committees may improve the evaluation and procurement processes and help to integrate the functions, espe- cially the purchase of major new medical technologies. Valuable guidance was provided by the advisory panel for the OTA assessment on Federal Policies and the Medical Devices Industry, chaired by Richard R.
