In 2010 the incarceration rate for males was 1,352 per 100,000 men, or 1.35% of the US male population (Glaze, 2011). The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, which creates a unique high-risk population for incidence and prevalence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The prevalence of HIV/AIDS is 1.5% (20,075 cases) for males in state and federal prisons (Marushak & Beavers, 2009). This is in excess of the…

paradox describes the lowered incidences of coronary heart diseases (CHD) in French people with respect to their diet which consists of high amounts of saturated fats. It is one of the many paradoxes with examples such as the Israeli paradox, which shows that although having a diet low in saturated fats, the Israeli Jews have increased incidences of CHD . This paradoxical event caused elevated interest in the causative factor that can seemingly lower the incidences of CHD in the French. One of…

INTRODUCTION Two significantly important highly pathogenic infection diseases namely Legionellosis and Influenza remains even today a threat to global health. They can cause severe community-acquired pneumonia with respiratory failure but they can also generate hospital-acquired infections.1 Moreover Legionella infection could attribute to influenza infection. The cause of influenza was definitively resolved back in 1930s with the isolation of swine influenza; a virus which when administered…

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer (Duvvuri & Myers, 2009) and the eighth most common cause of cancer death worldwide (Santarelli, Lo Russo, Bambini, Campisi, & Lo Muzio, 2009). The umbrella term HNC includes a heterogeneous group of lesions at several sites including the oral cavity, paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx and salivary glands (World Health Organization, 2005).

The exact incidence of elevated IAP is not known as different studies had used a different value to define IAH. In patients suffering from severe acute pancreatitis, a IAP of more than 25 mm of Hg was reported in about 10% of the patients; whereas, in another study an incidence of 78% of the patients suffering from severe acute pancreatitis were…

particular pathology and incidence that, in each case, leads to a particular way of treatment and monitoring. In general, a pneumothorax occurs when there is air present in the pleural cavity of the lung, however the underlying cause of this pathology varies among the different classifications. Surgical or non-surgical approaches are taken, depending on the severity or type of the pneumothorax. The purpose of this paper will be to discuss and distinguish between the pathology, incidence and…

commonest accounting for 35% of all infections with 80% of them being associated to indwelling urinary catheter (Schneider, M. A. 2012). In this document, the author discusses the process of implementation evidence based change aimed at reducing the incidence of catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI). Evidence based practice is a problem- solving approach that incorporate best practice arrived at from reliable studies and patient care outcome best available practice and the…
