February 14, 2018 the Honorable Ricardo Rosselló Governor La
February 14, 2018 The Honorable Ricardo Rosselló Governor La Fortaleza P.O. Box 9020082 San Juan, PR 00902-0082 Dear Governor Rosselló, I write as president of the American Statistical Association to respectfully urge you to keep Puerto Rico’s statistical agency, El Instituto de Estadísticas de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, PRIS), and its board of directors fully independent. I also draw your attention to the 2,800 individuals—and still growing—who have signed a petition with this same request.1 At this critical historical juncture, Puerto Rico needs accurate, objective, and timely statistics. Government statistics empower the economy, serve the health and welfare of citizens, improve governance, and inform decisions and policies in the public and private sectors, among many other vital functions. Government statistics are also fundamental to evidence-based policymaking, the engagement of which is on a rapid rise in local, state, and federal governments. To address the challenges posed by its decade-long economic recession and the devastation of back-to-back hurricanes, Puerto Rico must chart its path toward sustainable recovery using reputable and reliable data and statistical methods. Because of their broad and profound importance, it is imperative that government statistics be produced through rigorous scientific processes and analyses performed by experts that can function without improper outside influence. Government statistics must be independent, objective, accurate, and timely and be perceived as such. It is just as important to have adequate statistics on a variety of topics. PRIS has demonstrated repeatedly it has the expertise to function independently to produce rigorous, objective, and accurate statistics for the benefit of Puerto Rico and its people. -

Parent's Guide to Cbit
Basic Concepts of CBIT - Comprehensive Behavior Intervention for Tics By Steve Pally Volunteer Administrator, Tourette Canada Information & Support Forum www.TouretteSyndrome.ca www.Tourette.ca Volunteer Moderator, Tourettes Action Information & Support Forum http://forum.tourettes-action.org.uk/ www.tourettes-action.org.uk/ Providing Tools For Life CBIT (pronounced see-bit) combines six strategic therapeutic components in the form of a clinically proven comprehensive non-medication therapy to help a child (person) with Tourette Syndrome manage their tics. Behavioral Therapy Behavioral therapy is a treatment that teaches people with TS ways to manage their tics. Behavioral therapy is not a cure for tics. However, it can help reduce the number of tics, the severity of tics, the impact of tics, or a combination of all of these. It is important to understand that even though behavioral therapies might help reduce the severity of tics, this does not mean that tics are just psychological or that anyone with tics should be able to control them.2 Habit Reversal Habit reversal is one of the most studied behavioral interventions for people with tics1. It has two main parts: awareness training and competing response training. In the awareness training part, people identify each tic out loud. In the competing response part, people learn to do a new behavior that cannot happen at the same time as the tic. For example, if the person with TS has a tic that involves head rubbing, a new behavior might be for that person to place his or her hands on his or her knees, or to cross his or her arms so that the head rubbing cannot take place.2 Overview Tourette tics are involuntary, but can be influenced by internal and external factors such as stress, fatigue, excitement; the reactions of others to one's tics; either actions or reactions that are consequences or antecedents to tics being expressed. -

Polio in Italy
Polio in Italy Bernardino Fantini (*) (*) Institute for the History of Medicine and Health, University of Geneva. [email protected] Dynamis Fecha de recepción: 23 de enero de 2012 [0211-9536] 2012; 32 (2): 329-359 Fecha de aceptación: 5 de marzo de 2012 SUMMARY: 1.—Introduction. 2.—The epidemiology of polio in Italy. 3.—The social and scientific reactions to the polio epidemics. 4.—The 1958 epidemics. 5.—The different actors. 6.—The vaccination campaign and the elimination of the disease. 7.—Changing attitudes in patients and the public. 8.—The origins of patient’s associations. 9.—The post-epidemic problems. The post-polio syndrome. 10.—Concluding remarks. ABSTRACT: The history of polio in Italy is relatively short because the particular social and demographic history of the country has actually compressed the most dramatic history of the polio epidemic into only 40 years, from the first severe epidemic just before World War II to the early 1980s, when the epidemic vanished thanks to an effective and country-wide vaccination campaign. The epidemic, however, had a formidable impact on medicine, public health, social attitudes and culture. An analysis of this case study can illustrate the impact of an epidemic of a severe disease on individual and collective life, and at the same time the efficacy of public health measures against it, and the importance of the social structure, state and private, in coping with the consequences of the epidemics. In this period, the attitude towards the handicapped changed from stigma and isolation to social integration, thanks especially to the changes in health legislation, social action and the initiatives of the patient’ associations. -
