Steve Davis is working to bring an extraordinary vision to reality—the global elimination of the world’s most deadly and debilitating diseases. Davis is the president and CEO of PATH, a 40+ year-old, Seattle-based, global health-focused, non-governmental organization which works on vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, devices, and system and service innovations. In this talk, Davis lays out the “how to” of disease elimination calling on his diversity of experience as a former human-rights lawyer, a nationally-recognized technology business innovator, and social activist. Steve Davis, president and CEO of PATH, combines extensive experience as a technology business leader, global health advocate, and social innovator to accelerate great ideas and bring lifesaving solutions to scale. Prior to joining PATH in 2012, he served as director of Social Innovation at McKinsey & Company, CEO of the global digital media firm, Corbis, interim director of the Infectious Disease Research Institute, and he practiced law at the international law firm K&L Gates. Earlier, he worked extensively on refugee programs and policies, and Chinese politics and law. Mr. Davis is a lecturer on social innovation at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He currently is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, serves on the board of InterAction, and sits on several advisory groups, including the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Council on Social Innovation and the Clinton Global Initiative’s Global Health Advisory Board. He also serves as a trustee of the World Economic Forum’s Global Health Challenge. Mr. Davis earned his BA from Princeton University, his MA in Chinese studies from the University of Washington, and his law degree from Columbia University. He also studied at Beijing University. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

A commentary by Mayo Clinic Nephrologist Rajiv Kumar, M.D., in the current issue of the journal Kidney International suggests that Vitamin D may improve the treatment of renal disease. Dr. Kumar says that while larger clinical trials are needed, he believes doctors should start treating patients with diabetes who have low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin (the active form of vitamin D) with vitamin D3 to help slow down the progression of kidney damage. Dr. Kumar cautions that more research is needed and that patients should always consult their doctors before consuming vitamin D supplements on their own.

In this video nephrologist Danuta Trzebinska, MD at UC San Diego Health (https://health.ucsd.edu/specialties/nephrology) discusses the symptoms associated with different stages of chronic kidney disease and how they worsen as you progress from the least severe stage to the most severe stage. Chronic kidney disease is a silent disease and some patients will have nonspecific symptoms only, which are often ignored or overlooked until their kidney disease is quite advanced.

For more information about kidney disease treatment at UC San Diego Health, see http://health.ucsd.edu/nephrology.

Class 6 | Science | Components of food | Deficiency Diseases

Is it possible to get all the nutrients from a single food item?
A single food item cannot contain all the nutrients.
Wheat, for instance, is rich in carbohydrates but lacks nutrients like proteins and fats.
So, if we just eat wheat products, our body will not get all the nutrients required for healthy growth.
If this continues for a long time, we may suffer from a deficiency of nutrients like proteins and fats.

Thus, deficiency of one or more nutrients for a long period may lead to disorders or diseases called deficiency diseases.
What impact do deficiency diseases have on children?
Children
require a lot of proteins for their growth. Lack of proteins in their diet may cause stunted growth, swelling of the face, discolouration of hair, skin diseases and diarrhoea.
Similarly, lack of proteins and carbohydrates can halt their growth completely and make them thin and weak …
