The Centers for Disease Control is advertising a campaign that is trying to persuade people to get the flu vaccination shot for themselves and their children. It will be told what techniques they are using to persuade these people to get the shot.

Every year influenza (flu) hits America, and often leaves adults and children ill for days. The Centers for Disease Control takes it upon themselves to encourage adults and children to get vaccinated for the flu. They do this through an advertising campaign that relates to people of all ages.

There are a lot of governmental bodies that regulate social and economic businesses and have a lot impact on agencies with their rules, laws, and regulations. One of the given industries that impacts or societal and health in a lot of ways would be the The Centers for Disease Control. This regulatory agency would fall under Public Health and The Occupational safety and Health Department.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claim that immunizations are one of the most successful interventions in public health history (2015). The CDC is qualified to make this statement as research shows the vaccinations have eradicated smallpox and nearly eliminated the polio virus, in addition to diminishing the occurrences of preventable infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria and whooping cough (2015). However, despite the statistics and research, in 2015, only 71.6% of the children between 19 and 35 months received the combined 7 vaccine series (CDC, 2015). This decline in vaccination rate can have devastating effects not only on the individual child, but also on the community, as a whole. Consequently,

The Chicago Department of Public Health exemplifies a public health department that is extremely proactive and supportive of initiatives to eradicate or significantly decrease the incidence of HIV in the City of Chicago. To this end, the Chicago Department of Health monitors the incidences of new cases in the city, while constantly monitoring the progression or regression of the conditions of patients already affected by the HIV virus. Statistical data is collected through the avenue set up for health care providers to report all pertinent information about newly diagnosed HIV or an unusual turn of events with old HIV cases. furthermore, the Chicago Department of Public health ( CDPH) through its monitoring programs is able to identify threats, determine which health care services are need in a community and the target population. For example, in the month of November, their target segments were gays and bisexual African American men because both groups were disproportionately impacted by the HIV outbreak during the previous summer. Impressively, the CDPH has links to addresses where HIV testing is done free of charge and reports are confidential. Most importantly, the result is shared with the department to help the department further enhance the efficiency of the HIV task force of the CDPH. Furthermore, the CDPH is very efficient in the dissemination of information either through links on their website, advertisement, or pamphlets to name a few. Moreover,

In situs inversus the visceral organs are reversed as well as the heart. Most of the time dextrocardia with situs inversus patients do not have any health problems that have to do with the condition and can live a normal and healthy life. The most common issue with isolated dextrocardia is decreased number of cilia which results in a weaker immune system. In the case of situs solitus the heart is either just in the right thoracic region or a mirror image and the other visceral organs are in their normal place; this anatomical confliction results in health issues and heart deformities. Situs solitus causes bigger problems more often and affects mainly the respiratory,digestive,endocrine and hepatic systems. It can cause health issues ranging from abdominal obstructions to deformities,asplenia and liver problems that result in jaundice. In many cases cardiopulmonary deformities result in respiratory problems usually leading to lack of oxygen and hindered development and growth. Although dextrocardia is a congenital condition and has unknown causes , there are factors that contribute to the chances of development of the condition in utero. Sometimes dextrocardia is a result of the heart developing as a mirror image and as a result of that migrating to the right side of the chest. Another common reason dextrocardia develops is that through defects in the thoracic and abdominal area

An African American baby boy was born at one hospital but transferred to another hospital due to his critical condition. Now two months old, this baby boy’s Chief of Complaint is he was born with Dextrocardia or is also known as Detroversion, Dextroposition or Dextrorotation. He is 51 cm long and weighs 5.11 kg and for long-term care he was trached on 10/16/14. This baby boy was also born with HLHS (Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome). This patient is suspected of having CF but further tests need to be performed before conformation.

The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention also known as the CDC is the leading federal agency that provides information in all areas of health and safety. The CDC has been at the forefront in numerous areas of medical research and has now taking on the role of providing information about Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder commonly known as ADHD. There are a variety of neurodevelopment disorders, and ADHD is considered to be the most common even though it was first documented in 1902. The CDC website has provided information that effectively utilizes the three rhetorical appeals of ethos, pathos, and logos to inform and educate the public about a common disorder that affects children and adults.

She was born with Tricuspid Atresia, Vetricula Steptum Defect, along with a Mirtral valve defect and numerous other medical issues. Tricuspid Atresia is a complex heart defect that occurs when the right ventricle in the heart fails to develop correctly during development in the womb. In Smilie’s case, it caused her to have little to no function in the right ventricle of the heart. To save Smilie’s life, doctors at the Prince Charles Hospital preformed a 3-stage surgery over 2 years to redirect blood flow within her body. Smilie had the BT Shunt at a few days old, the Hemi Fontan at 6 months old and the Fenestrated Fontan completed at 2 years of age. Smilie now has Hyploplastic Right Heart Syndrome as a result, which is a generalised term used to encompass the many conditions that can cause a lack of development in the Right Ventricle Side of the heart.

A Center for Disease Control Director (CDC) role is well defined. Thus far, the director of the CDC primary purpose is to nurture the public through an epidemic or a pandemic. It is essential for the director of the CDC to contribute to communication as much as possible. Furthermore, resources are vital when health threats are imminent and demonstrator threats. An essential point as a director of the CDC is national and state security. Nevertheless, a CDC director uses innovative security to control and confront all possible threats or attacks.

The incidence of PDA is approximately 0.02 to 0.04 percent in term infants and 20 to 60 percent in preterm neonates. Patent ductus arteriosus accounts for six to eleven percent of all congenital heart defects. PDA is found twice as often in females than in males (Shinde, Basantwani, & Tendolkar, 2016). The incidence of PDA is increased in children who are born prematurely, children with a history of perinatal asphyxia, and, possibly, children born at high altitude. Up to 30 percent low birth infants develop PDA (Kim, 2016).

Congenital heart disease in newborns is a very common birth defect and effects roughly 1 in 100 or 1% of the babies born in the United States. Some of the heart defects that are a part of congenital heart defects include, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), pulmonary atresia (PA), Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPV/TAPVR), tricuspid atresia and many more.

Even though the CDC provides a vast amount of information, the CDC website provides facts regarding ADHD, because CDC provides information for families and children living with ADHD and overall, broadens the public’s awareness.

Established by Congress as an independent, nonprofit organization, the CDC Foundation connects the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with private-sector organizations and individuals to build public health programs that make our world healthier and safer. Since 1995, the CDC Foundation has provided $450 million to support CDC's work, launched more than 750 programs around the world and built a network of individuals and organizations committed to supporting CDC and public health.
