This session of CDC′s Public Health Grand Rounds explores the control of tobacco use-the leading preventable cause of premature death and disease worldwide. Currently, approximately 6 million people die each year due to tobacco-related illnesses, a figure expected to increase to more than 8 million a year by 2030. If current global trends continue, tobacco use will cause up to 1 billion deaths in the 21st century.

Global tobacco control has been called a "best buy" in public health. Beyond monitoring of tobacco use and exposure, this session will discuss effective prevention strategies at the personal, population, and policy levels.

This Prova Education program, presented by Deborah O'Connor PhD, RD, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto and Director of Clinical Dietetics at The Hospital for Sick Children, has been developed from the May 2011 live meeting in Denver, CO, A Month in the Life: Achieving Recommended Nutritional Status in Preterm, Low Birth Weight Infants Before, During and Beyond Hospital Discharge.

This program discusses preterm infant nutritional needs beginning at the NICU, the complexities of ensuring good nutritional status, and monitoring care through the transition to home and community settings. Through a review of new evidence-based information, physicians can apply practices that will support nutrition decisions for pre-term and low birth weight infants upon admittance to the NICU and continue through transitions.

National organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecology have published updated guidelines for cervical cancer screening. Crucial variations in these guidelines make implementing a sound, effective clinical protocol for management of gynecologic screening and treatment a challenge; and it is imperative that women's healthcare providers have a thorough understanding of clinical implications.

This Omnia Education program is presented by Dr. Thomas C. Wright, Jr., MD, Professor of Pathology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.
