query: what does ncd stand for in medical terms

pos: Non-communicable disease Non-communicable disease A non-communicable disease (NCD) is a disease that is not transmissible directly from one person to another. NCDs include Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases, strokes, most heart diseases, most cancers, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, cataracts, and others. NCDs may be chronic or acute. Most are non-infectious, although there are some non-communicable infectious diseases, such as parasitic diseases in which the parasite's life cycle does not include direct host-to-host transmission. NCDs are the leading cause of death globally. In 2012, they caused 68% of all deaths (38 million) up from 60% in 2000. About half were

For the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO), promoting an evidence-based approach, in 1995 he guided development of a regional non-communicable disease (NCD) program focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. Initiatives included the Declaration of the Americas on Diabetes (DOTA), a public-private partnership modeled after the St. Vincent Declaration, the CARMEN model of integrated NCD prevention and control, and recognition of cervical cancer, accidents

Refugees may be at a higher risk for contracting certain diseases or having other health problems due to factors such as poor nutrition, poor sanitation and lack of adequate medical care. The most common health concerns are listed below. Non-communicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition that is not transmissible and non-infectious. This means it is not caused by an infectious agent but instead is perpetuated by individual and environmental behaviors.

A 2013 medical review concluded that "unhealthy commodity industries should have no role in the formation of national or international NCD <nowiki>[</nowiki>non-communicable disease<nowiki>]</nowiki> policy". There have been similar efforts to steer coverage of sugar-related health information in popular media, including news media and social media. By itself, sugar is not a factor causing obesity and metabolic syndrome, but rather – when over-consumed – is a component of unhealthy dietary behavior. Meta-analyses showed that excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages increased the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome – including weight gain

External parties who may request an NCD are Medicare beneficiaries, manufacturers, providers, suppliers, medical professional associations, or health plans. NCDs can also be internally generated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under multiple circumstances. For existing items or services For new items or services The NCD development process generally takes 6–9 months, depending on the need for external technology assessments or coverage advisory committee reviews.

Vitanyi and Cilibrasi rewrote the NID to obtain the Normalized Compression Distance (NCD) The NCD is actually a family of distances parametrized with the compressor Z. The better Z is, the closer the NCD approaches the NID, and the better the results are. The normalized compression distance has been used to fully automatically reconstruct language and phylogenetic trees. It can also be used for new applications of general clustering and classification of natural data in arbitrary domains, for clustering of heterogeneous data, and for anomaly detection across domains.

However, although NCD appears "parameter-free", practical questions include which compressor to use in computing the NCD and other possible problems. In order to measure the information of a string relative to another there is the need to rely on relative semi-distances (NRC). These are measures that do not need to respect symmetry and triangle inequality distance properties. Although the NCD and the NRC seem very similar, they address different questions. The NCD measures how similar both strings are, mostly using the information content, while the NRC indicates the fraction of

He also proposed that MPs should be limited to two government terms of office, after which they may not stand again. Grillo is also criticized as being a demagogue who attacks politicians on superficial issues and their private lives, while being unable to provide a valid alternative. For example, stand-up comedian Daniele Luttazzi criticized him in 2007 in an open letter published on the website of the news magazine "MicroMega". Luttazzi accused Grillo of being a "demagogue" and a "populist", suggesting Grillo should choose

Flexner recommended that the proprietary medical schools should either close or be incorporated into existing universities. Medical schools should be part of a larger university, because a proper stand-alone medical school would have to charge too much in order to break even financially. Less known is Flexner's recommendation that medical schools appoint full-time clinical professors. Holders of these appointments would become "true university teachers, barred from all but charity practice, in the interest of teaching." Flexner pursued this objective for years,

The formula he comes up with for what he terms "the indistinctness" is equivalent, in modern terms, to for focal length formula_14, aperture diameter "A", and subject distance "S". But he does not invert this to find the "S" corresponding to a given "c" criterion (i.e. he does not solve for the hyperfocal distance), nor does he consider focusing at any other distance than infinity. He finally observes "long-focus lenses have usually a larger aperture than short ones,

Reductionism should be distinguished from eliminationism: reductionists do not deny the existence of phenomena, but explain them in terms of another reality; eliminationists deny the existence of the phenomena themselves. For example, eliminationists deny the existence of life by their explanation in terms of physical and chemical processes. Reductionism also does not preclude the existence of what might be termed emergent phenomena, but it does imply the ability to understand those phenomena completely in terms of the processes from which they are composed. This reductionist understanding is very different from emergentism, which intends that

UCC § 2-207(2) of the statute tells what to do with "additional" terms. It does not explicitly address what to do with "different" terms. A minority of states, led by California, infer that this was a typographical error by the drafters. As such, those states treat different terms in the same manner as additional terms. The majority rule, however, is that different terms do not become part of the contract; rather, both of the conflicting terms—from both

Those in favor of government policies for publicly funded medical research posit that removing profit as a motive will increase the rate of medical innovation. Those opposed argue that it will do the opposite, because removing the incentive of profit removes incentives to innovate and inhibits new technologies from being developed and utilized. The existence of sound medical research does not necessarily lead to evidence-based policymaking. For example, in South Africa, whose population sets the record for HIV infections, previous government policy limiting funding and access for AIDS treatments met with strong controversy given

In some countries, the medical model of disability has influenced legislation and policy pertaining to persons with disabilities on a national level. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), published in 2001, defines disability as an umbrella term for impairments, activity limitations and participation restrictions. Disability is the interaction between individuals with a health condition (such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and depression) and personal and environmental factors (such as negative attitudes, inaccessible transportation and public buildings, and limited

In others, the medical examiner must be a physician, though not necessarily a forensic pathologist or even a pathologist; physicians with no experience in forensic medicine have become medical examiners. In others, such as Wisconsin, each county sets standards, and in some, the medical examiner does not need any medical or educational
