AbstractPolio or poliomyelitis is a disabling and life-threatening disease caused by poliovirus (PV). As a consequence of global polio vaccination efforts, wild PV serotype 2 has been eradicated, and wild PV serotypes 1- and 3-transmitted cases have been largely eliminated except for in limited regions around the world. However, vaccine-derived PV, pathogenically reverted live PV vaccine strains in vaccinated humans, has become a serious issue. For the global eradication of polio, the World Health Organization is conducting the third edition of the Global Action Plan, which is requesting stringent control of potentially PV-infected materials. To facilitate the mission, we generated a PV-nonsusceptible Vero cell subline, which may serve as an ideal replacement of standard Vero cells to isolate emerging/re-emerging viruses without the risk of generating PV-infected materials.

Global Action Plan

AbstractTo prevent and reduce inactivity, the World Health Organization (WHO) designed a global plan called Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030 (GAPPA) in 2017. In this plan and according to the state of physical activity in 2016, actions and goals were set. However, the world is facing a COVID-19 pandemic, which has affected various aspects of lifestyle, including physical activity. Some studies have shown that physical activity reduced during the pandemic. For this reason, the WHO should review the GAPPA and update goals and actions according to the state of physical activity in 2020.

Sobre Todo

En el informe de la OMS sobre la farmacorresistencia del VIH del 2017 se pone de manifiesto el aumento constante de la prevalencia de la FRVIH desde el 2001 en las personas que inician un tratamiento antirretroviral de primera línea, sobre todo en África oriental y meridional. La prevalencia de la FRVIH en las personas que iniciaron un tratamiento antiretroviral de primera línea (farmacorresistencia previa al tratamiento o FRP) fue del 6,8% en el 2010, y los cálculos basados en encuestas recientes representativas a nivel nacional indicant niveles de FRP situados por encima del 10% para los fármacos ARV de primera línea recomendados por la OMS que son ampliamente utilizados en muchos países […] Este plan de acción mundial se elaboró con la participación plena de los asociados clave (por ejemplo, los CDC, el Fondo Mundial y el PEPFAR). Proporciona a los países y a los asociados nacionales e internacionales un marco de referencia que, cuando se aplique de manera conjunta entre el 2017 y el 2021, contribuirá al logro de las metas mundiales 90-90-90 de acción acelerada para el 2020 (un 90% de todas las personas con infección por el VIH conocerán su estado con respecto a dicha infección, un 90% de todas las personas con diagnóstico de infección por el VIH recibirán TAR, y un 90% de todas las personas que tengan acceso al TAR alcanzarán la supresión de la carga viral), así como a poner fin a la epidemia del sida como amenaza de salud pública para el 2030.

Global Action Plan

El nuevo plan de acción mundial de la OMS para la promoción de la actividad física responde a las solicitudes de los países de recibir orientación actualizada y un marco de medidas normativas efectivas y viables destinadas a aumentar la actividad física en todos los niveles. También responde a las solicitudes de que se establezca un liderazgo a nivel mundial en este tema, así como una mayor coordinación regional y nacional, y a la necesidad de una respuesta que abarque a toda la Sociedad para lograr un cambio de paradigma apoyando y valorando que todas las personas se mantengan activas de manera regular, de acuerdo con su capacidad y a lo largo de toda la vida. El presente plan de acción se ha elaborado mediante un proceso de consulta mundial en que han participado gobiernos y partes interesadas clave de múltiples sectores, entre ellos los de salud, deportes, transporte, diseño urbano, sociedad civil, el sector académico y el sector privado.

Global Action Plan

Abstract. Physical activity provides huge opportunities for the health of nations. Understanding this, the World Health Organization has published a Global Action Plan which aims to provide member states with a framework for action, namely to create active societies, people, environments and systems. The target is set at a 15 % reduction in physical inactivity levels by 2030. We explore in this paper some of the challenges and opportunities that come with it, and give the practitioner some real-world opportunities for relevant action at the local level, as well as for their patients, staying true to the Physician’s Pledge (Declaration of Geneva): “I will attend to my own health, well-being, and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.”
