SUMMARY:The Global Burden of Sickle Cell Disease(SCD): Approaches to mitigate SCD health care disparities through collaborative research in sub-saharan Africa
DESCRIPTION:This Global Health Grand Rounds: Sponsored by the Global Health Initiative as part of the Pediatric Residency Global Child Health Course \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the Global Burden of SCD in Subsaharan Africa\nDescribe the Clinical Phenotypic Variability of SCD Worldwide\nDescribe the active SCD Research and other Investigations and within SubSaharan Africa\n\nJust over 100 years ago\, sickle cell disease(SCD) was discovered in a patient in Chicago\, IL. However\,  It was described for hundreds of years before in Subsaharan Africa; It is estimated that ~ 80% of all the annual SCD  Births occur in sub-Saharan Africa ( ~ 242\,000) compared to only 2600 SCD births in North America and 1300 SCD births In Europe. This supports the presumed hypothesis that the sickle cell gene frequency  overlaps with the malarial belts of the world. Global Mortality from SCD remains the highest in sub-Saharan Africa\, especially in under-resourced and economically challenged countries within this region. The clinical presentation within all forms of sickle cell disease( i.e. Hgb SS\, Hgb SC\, Sickle Cell-Beta Thalassemia +\,Sickle Cell Beta Thalassmia Zero Disease) varies significantly globally  which leads to a poorer understanding of the disease phenotype . To address this gap in knowledge of SCD\, we have to  improve funding and expand research collaborations in SSA and other regions of the world where the incidence of the SCD is highest.  Outstanding researchers within SSA are making new discoveries within SCD pathophysiology and improving our understanding of SCD not only in Africa but across the world. I hope to show you that some of my research collaborations in SSA has my  enhanced knowledge in SCD globally and locally.

SUMMARY:International Conference on Migration Health - Rome\, Italy
DESCRIPTION:International Migration is a global phenomenon that is growing in scope\, complexity and impact. Human\nmigration is now at an all-time high\, accounting for 245 million persons and is shaping world events and fuelling political and\npublic debates. People have been migrating since the beginning of human history and these flows have led to the mixing of\npeople that had led to positive cultural and economic exchanges and have built nations. Forced migration\, driven primarily\nby conflicts\, social injustice and global inequities\, is increasing and has resulted in a quarter of all international migrants\nwho are refugees\, asylum seekers or internally displaced persons many with health disparities. Migrant populations are\nheterogeneous and have a broad range of health needs — their presence raises several medical\, ethical\, economic\, social\nand cultural issues for both migrants and receiving health systems.\nThe International Society of Travel Medicine has been focussed on the care of travelling and mobile populations for more\nthan 25 years. We are excited to partner with clinical\, public health\, and humanitarian organizations to organize a conference\nthat will address the complex multidisciplinary health issues of this population.

SUMMARY:Global Health Grand Rounds: GHI Research Director\, Dr. Andrea Beaton
DESCRIPTION:2nd floor Auditorium \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us in the auditorium tomorrow morning at 8am to hear our GHI Research Director\, Dr. Andrea Beaton\, present Hospital Grand Rounds –  “Global Disease Disparity: Re-Examining what we thought we knew about Rheumatic Heart Disease.” \n\n\n\nAbout the session: In the late 19th and early 20th century\, acute rheumatic fever was one of the leading causes of child mortality in the United States. Research\, education\, advocacy and luck led to a dramatic decline to the point where rheumatic fever was considered nearly eliminated in high-income settings. However\, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease continue unabated in many parts of the world\, and remain a disease of disparity here at home. Why? And what are we doing?  \n\n\n\nThis presentation is part of our fall 2017 global health course. \n\n\n\nView Dr. Beaton’s Grand Rounds Presentation at the Children’s National Youtube Channel here: https://youtu.be/YQX4UO9RIew

SUMMARY:Global Disease Disparity: Re-examining What We Thought We Knew About Rheumatic Heart Disease
DESCRIPTION:Featured Speaker: Andrea Beaton\, MD\, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics\, George Washington University Cardiology\, CNHS  \n\n\n\nIn the late 19th and early 20th century\, acute rheumatic fever was considered “childhood’s greatest enemy” in the United States. Now\, the disease is nearly eliminated in high-income settings. But\, rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease remain prominent in many parts of the world\, and is today a disease of disparity in the United States.   \n\n\n\nAndrea Beaton\, MD lectures on rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. She opens the talk by providing a history of acute rheumatic fever in the United States\, from its beginning roots as scarlet fever in the 1860’s\, through the Jones Criteria and the mass production of penicillin\, to the near elimination of the disease in the 1970’s and 1980’s.   \n\n\n\nBeaton notes rheumatic heart disease remains prevalent in areas of the United States\, and argues that we need to re-examine our long-held beliefs about rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease to better diagnose and treat the disease\, starting with the idea that both are considered “solved cases.” \n\n\n\nUsing her work with Children’s National in Uganda as a case study\, Beaton further argues we must recognize strategies that worked in the United States may not be effective or acceptable in low-income settings. \n\n\n\n You can watch the full lecture here.
