I was surprised, to put it nicely, when I came across my images at your website. If you use a copyrighted image without my approval, you should be aware that you could be sued by the copyrigh owner.
It’s illicitly to use stolen images and it’s so disgusting!
Take a look at this document with the links to my images you used at www.ncdaction.org and my earlier publications to get evidence of my legal copyrights.
If you don’t delete the images mentioned in the document above within the next few days, I’ll write a complaint against you to your hosting provider stating that my copyrights have been infringed and I am trying to protect my intellectual property.
And if it doesn’t work, you may be pretty damn sure I am going to report and sue you! And I will not bother myself to let you know of it in advance.

The GBD Project has characterized and captured data on disease-related mortality, morbidity and disability since the early 90s. As an engineer, I appreciate the expansive effort to better understand the burden of disease in a data-driven manner; however, the existence of data, let alone complete data, is a luxury found in high-income and some middle-income countries. Where does that leave the rest of the world? In 2010, only 15% of the world’s population was captured by complete, high-quality data. For some countries, their incomplete datasets were sufficient enough to allow for extrapolation utilizing the country-based data. Most of the world, however, lacks any such viable data and the result is extrapolating on extrapolated data that was extrapolated from other extrapolated data.
Adult mortality in these countries is extrapolated utilizing in-country child mortality and an estimated median level of adult mortality from complete, historical life tables from across the world. These life tables could be from a different time in history and/or a different part of the world than the LMICs whose data are being extrapolated from these life tables. These estimated values are then compared to modified life tables in order to find a “best” match and create a dataset consisting of age-specific death rates. This methodology is used for general mortality distributions. One step further allows for the creation of disease-specific mortality distributions. The vast amount of estimation and correlation utilized in order to calculate these numbers introduces an extremely high amount of uncertainty for the GBD reported adult mortalities and causes of death, especially for non-communicable diseases which are less understood than communicable diseases.
Despite, the large amounts of estimation in the data, the GBD project does not caution about the uncertainty associated with this data. In fact, one has to dig in order to find the data extrapolation methods, and I still have not been able to find clear uncertainty values associated with the distributions that they report. Data without clearly stated limitations or uncertainty is troublesome. For some individuals, the extent of extrapolation would warrant calling the data fabricated, especially when reported without caution or uncertainty values. To be clear, the GBD project is an excellent project that will, eventually, serve as a great tool for policymakers across the world. But rather than spending vast amounts of money on extrapolation tools for LMICs, should we be redirecting those specific funds towards helping these countries establish more reliable means of collecting death-related data? Even if the data is incomplete, utilization of country-based adult mortality data has to be better than the degree of extrapolation that currently exists in order to estimate the impact of NCDs on mortality, morbidity and disability.
I am an undergraduate student majoring in Biology and Chemistry. I joined this forum as part of a class project to gain more insight about how the field of NCDs is shifting in LMICs and developed countries. Thus, to whoever this may concern:
In 2002, the WHO published a report on how global health systems are not designed for chronic problems but rather focus on models surrounding acute care. Currently, has there been an improvement in the transition from acute to chronic care models in the countries that you have researched in? And if so, what specifically has changed?
Apart from systematically improving training and allocation of resources at the patient health care and health care organizational level for chronic care, do you believe there is a space for mobile health to aid this improvement in the near future from your past experiences? If so, what experiences have you had or papers have you read that portray the challenges and/or success to addressing chronic conditions with eHealth in LMICs?
Just thought of checking if you received my earlier emails. Sorry if you’re not the right person to contact about this, but could you please direct me to someone responsible for website updates regarding resources for cancer victims?
I’m Melissa from Coupon Chief. Just wanted to ask if you received my email about our guide to financial resources for cancer patients. I hope you don’t mind if I include a link here – thought you might want to see it first:
In a nation where we hear a lot about the importance of work-life balance and the risk of career burnout, many of us are overworked—regularly putting in more than the standard 40-hour work week.
Instead of going through the motions like each day is an item to be checked off a to-do list, I want to help people live fulfilling lives complete with a successful career and happy personal life.
I’d love to write a guest article for your site. The piece will be free of charge and will provide advice any busy professional can work into their lives so that they can hop off the proverbial hamster wheel and start thriving.
If you’re interested, please let me know. I hope to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Julie

I’m Melissa, and I work for Coupon Chief. I thought you might be interested in checking out our guide on how to save on expenses involved in cancer diagnosis and treatment. If you are, let me know and I’ll forward along the link to the guide. It includes many money-saving moves every cancer patient should know.
We hope to reach cancer victims and their families and help alleviate the financial burden associated with cancer. So perhaps it’s worth linking to along with the other resources on your website?
