Discuss what primary interventions can prevent child deaths from diarrheal diseases? What secondary and tertiary interventions are effective at preventing child infectious disease mortality (i.e, from diarrheal diseases)?
primary interventions- use of ORS and continued feeding, including breastfeeding, during diarrhea and limited the use of antibiotics to only cases of bloody diarrhea. Continued feeding was a paradigm shift away from the practice of with holding foods during diarrhea and was shown to reduce malnutrition and mortality in infants and children. Research led to the development of a treatment algorithm for this syndrome.zinc supplementation during diarrhea based on studies showing that zinc shortened the duration of acute diarrhea and prevented subsequent episodes in the 2 to 3 months following its use .Rehydration: with intravenous fluids in case of severe dehydration or shock.Nutrient-rich foods: the vicious circle of malnutrition and diarrhoea can be broken by continuing to give nutrient-rich foods – including breast milk – during an episode, and by giving a nutritious diet – including exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life – to children when they are well.
secondary interventions- access to safe drinking-water;use of improved sanitation;hand washing with soap;exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life;good personal and food hygiene;health education about how infections spread; androtavirus vaccination.
tertiary intervention-
Ensure availability of adequate medical supplies such as oral rehydration solution
• Improve training programs for health workers and educate them on the proper treatment of diarrhea
• Ensure that facilities for handwashing, provision of safe water, and proper disposal of human waste are provided at all healthcare facilities
• Encourage appropriate antibiotic use
• Meet demand for health workers
• Support community health workers,Improve training programs,Seek creative ways to motivate them.
Provide rotavirus vaccination
Invest in safe drinking water, hygiene, and sanitation infrastructure
Monitor progress and needs through the collection, analysis, and reporting of quality data
Support clear and targeted health promotion and behavior change programs.
Support and promote the importance of community health workers
• Ensure safe water is provided close to people’s homes
• Discourage/eliminate open defecation
• Develop strategies for proper disposal of human waste
• Construct basic sanitation facilities• Promote handwashing

Distinguish between the different levels of protein structure, including primary, secondary, tertiary, and Question Prions are a type of protein implicated in bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), also known as "mad cow disease," and related pathologies found in sheep (scrappie) and humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease). The disease occurs when sections of an otherwise healthy protein misfold from alpha-helices to beta-pleated sheets, forming tightly packed sections of beta-pleated sheets that are difficult to break down. The disease propagates because the misfolded prions induce...
