Webinar #203
August 2, 2024 (Friday) 12nn
“Tumitigil ang Paghinga Habang Tulog?”
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, A Silent Epidemic

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a prevalent yet often underdiagnosed condition, poses significant health risks and impacts patient outcomes. In this week’s webinar, we will dive into a comprehensive understanding of OSA, its pathophysiology, and its implications for patient care. We will discuss the intricate mechanisms underlying this disorder, including the collapse of upper airway structures during sleep, resulting in recurrent apneas and hypopneas. Moreover, we will explore the multifaceted consequences of OSA, encompassing cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive impairments. Emphasis will be placed on identifying high-risk populations and implementing effective screening strategies within primary care settings.

Our main presenter is Dr. Manuel Jorge II, who is a Professor of Medicine and Physiology from the UP College of Medicine. Our reactor is Dr. Reinzi Luz Bautista, who is a sleep specialist from the UP-PGH Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.

By the end of this webinar, we hope participants will have gained insights on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of OSA, conduct initial assessments, and understand the diagnostic modalities employed in OSA, from clinical assessment and polysomnography to emerging technologies. We will discuss treatment options, including lifestyle modifications, positive airway pressure therapy, oral appliances, and surgical interventions.

Let us all work together and collaborate effectively to optimize patient care and improve overall health outcomes. Together, we can stop preventable deaths.

The BARMM's Indigenous Peoples' Development Act and IPRA: A Roundtable
2024-08-06 13:30 - 15:30
The Decolonial Studies Program of the UP Center for Integrative and Development Studies (UP CIDS) is organizing a roundtable discussion, “The Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA) and BARMM’S IP Development Act” on 6 August 2024, 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm (Philippine Standard Time) via Zoom.

Concept Note

The Bangsamoro region is home to numerous communities of Meranao, Maguindanaon, Tausug, Iranun, Yakan, Sama, Badjao, Jama Mapun, Kagan/Kalagan, Kalibugan, Sangi, Molbog, Palawanon, Teduray, Lambangian, Manobo Dulangan, Visaya, Tagalog, and Chinese who have their unique traditions and practices.

Article IX under Section 24 of Republic Act No 11054 (Bangsamoro Organic Law) states that the Bangsamoro government shall preserve the history, culture, arts, traditions, and the rich cultural heritage of the Bangsamoro people and their Sultanates of Sulu, Maguindanao, Kabuntalan, Buayan, the Royal Sultanate Houses of Ranao and of the Iranun, and the non-Moro indigenous peoples of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.

In order to review this regional mandate, a two-part roundtable discussion explores the possible decolonial aspects of Bill 273 or the Bangsamoro Indigenous Peoples’ Development Act of 2024 in relation to the Philippines’ Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA) of 1997. The former is vital to the inclusive growth and development of the Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICCs) who are ascribed as such by the BARMM’s Ministry of Indigenous Peoples Affairs. These include the Teduray, Lambangian, Dulangan Manobo, Erumanun Ne Menuvu, Higaonon, B’laan, Sama Dilaut, Sama Jama Mapun, Sama Bangingi, Sama Pangutaran and other marginalized and minority ICCs.

ABOUT THE FORUM and BOOK

As the Marcos Jr. administration enters its third year, the six years of the Duterte presidency merits a much closer double-take. The book, Contesting the Philippines, maps a period of “contesting the Philippines” during the Duterte administration (2016–22), a period of an intense, normative and practical struggle to shape of the Philippines’ most critical institutions, emerging actors the spectrum of Filipino politics. View full list of chapter titles and contributing authors.

The book can help scholars and policymakers today spot continuities and ruptures across the two administrations, identify the directions the Philippines may be moving, and craft appropriate interventions. Co-edited by Steven Rood and Veronica Taylor, Contesting the Philippines is published by ISEAS Publishing in Singapore.

Diabetes in Children… Paano Ito Maawat?

Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, poses a significant public health concern worldwide. While its impact on adults is widely recognized, the implications of this chronic condition on children have gained increasing attention.

In this week’s episode, we will discuss the different aspects of pediatric diabetes and the complex interplay of factors contributing to the development of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in children. We will discuss the underlying pathophysiology, including the role of autoimmunity, insulin resistance, and genetic predisposition. We will also talk about the diagnostic criteria and diagnostic workup for pediatric diabetes, emphasizing the importance of early detection and timely intervention.

By the end of this webinar, participants should have gained the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage children with diabetes. They should be able to identify high-risk populations, implement appropriate screening and diagnostic measures, and develop comprehensive care plans.

Our main presenter is Dr. Sylvia C. Estrada, who is the Chief of the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology at the UP-PGH Department of Pediatrics. Our reactor is Dr. Angelica Tomas, who serves as Medical Specialist II at the Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics of the UP-PGH Department of Pediatrics.

Together, let us foster interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare providers and empower them to deliver optimal care to young patients with diabetes, promoting improved health outcomes and quality of life.

Together, we can stop preventable deaths.

Episode Topics

The episode centers on the following questions:

What are the proposed Act’s key provisions, and how does it strengthen existing statutes that uphold the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity?

As a domestic measure, what is/are its impacts on the global maritime community?

What actions can we anticipate from China in response to this latest development? How can the Philippines leverage the proposed Act to respond diplomatically to China’s hostilities?

Are there challenges and barriers to implementing and exercising the Act to its fullest potential?

Are there alternative methods aside from the domestic implementation of the proposed Act to uphold our territorial claims that would be more binding within the international realm?

How will this measure pave the way for the Blue Economy Bill, Archipelago Sealanes Bill, and other maritime-related legislation?

The Katipunan Dialogue Podcast is produced by the Strategic Studies Program of the Center for Integrative and Development Studies, University of the Philippines, in partnership with DZUP 1602, which is the University of the Philippines’ radio station housed in and managed under the College of Mass Communications.
