Isabella Nowicki - Pediatrics

 

Globally, a huge problem has been widespread diseases and infections that can lead to horrible outcomes, including death. Vaccines are a hesitancy among parents  which is costing for protecting their family especially their children from preventable diseases. 


Even though vaccines are now more available than they have been before, many parents are not sure if they are specifically safe. Some believe false accusations that they read from online resources or from what they have heard from others around their community. In some countries, families do not trust the healthcare system or may not even have access to local doctors or clinics. Due to this, many children are not getting the vaccines that they desperately need.


This is serious. A known disease, measles, which we were close to wiping out, is now coming back in countries such as Africa, Europe, and even in the United States. UNICEF states that between 2019 and 2021, 67 million children have missed their regularly vaccines. Which is only putting millions of young children’s lives at severe risk. 


To solve this problem, we could: make sure vaccines are fairly accessible, induce true information behind the vaccinations so false accusations are gone, and so much more. Kids around the world deserve every chance they can get to grow up happy and healthy as well as safe from widespread diseases. 





In conclusion, in the eyes of the pediatric department, children are not getting their proper and needed vaccinations to prevent getting these deadly diseases that can be maintained.

  Understanding Neurological Disorders: The Brain, Nervous System, and Common Disorders Andreah Falame Neurology is the branch of study in the medical field that focuses primarily on the brain, spinal cord, and the nervous system. The nervous system is a significant system that controls everything we do. From thinking and feeling to moving and sensing the world around us. The study of neurology is an emerging field that continues to advance in more personalized treatments for patients that are battling neurological disorders.   The field of neurology circles on 3 main parts of the nervous system. Starting off with the brain, the brain is known to be a complex organ that serves to process various information. With its ability to send signals throughout different areas of the body, it leads to the works of the spinal cord. The spinal cord carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body. With the help of the nerves, the nerves transmit signals to and from the bra...

  Highlighting the Global Healthcare Issues In Neurology. Neurology is the branch of medicine associated with the diagnosis and treatment of the nervous system, encompassing the brain and spinal cord. Furthermore, neurology is a paramount medical concern as it integrates physical and mental health, grasping how we behave, theorize, and recognize neurological health disorders that control our daily lives. Most importantly, everything starts with the brain — it makes us capable of functioning, executing daily habits and conversing with the people we love. Our brain should be calm, safe, and healthy. However, due to circumstances in the healthcare system, this is a privilege, rather than a basic need. In fact, this shapes the reality of many deployed soldiers, and Palestinian citizens suffering from chronic Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease. MS occurs in the central nervous system, where the body accidentally attacks itself.  Moreover, due to the low-income healthcare system lackin...

Neurosurgery Iasmina Ciocan  Neurosurgery is, as we all know, one of the most demanding medical fields, due to needing utmost precision. Here, even the tiniest mistakes bring horrible consequences. Therefore, neurosurgery requires cutting-edge technology, dedicated professionals, and tremendous financial resources. Sadly, in low- and middle-income areas, the proficiency of neurosurgical care is being brought down by numerous challenges. People could always be affected by neurosurgical conditions, no matter which country they live in, hence it is essential to address the obstacles faced in this medical field, on a global level. One of these crucial problems is the absence of trained personnel and adequate surgical equipment. Specialized neurosurgical care is mandatory for conditions like hydrocephalus, brain tumors, congenital anomalies, and spinal cord injuries. However, the growing scarcity of skilled neurosurgeons and neurosurgical facilities in some countries, means that a notab...
