Chronic illnesses on the other hand, have a longer duration and may even be lifelong…

main causes of Ischaemic stroke are thrombosis – when the blood clot is formed within the brain, and embolism – when the clot is formed elsewhere. (The internet stroke center) (Blood clot deprives the brain of oxygen and important nutrients) Incidence & risk factors: Accounting for nearly 88 percent of all type of strokes, Ischaemic stroke is by far the most common (American Heart association, 2014). In Australia, ischaemic…

successful. From this group, there were 40% had depressive symptoms and about 70% wanted to die after they fail at first time. Many cases found that the suicidal attempts were much more frequent than suicide (Try but mostly fail). Even though, many incidences were failed but most of children that had attempted suicide, they often repeated to killed themselves again with the same or different…

over the world regardless the larger gap between rich and poor. In conclusion, globalization does not increase the poverty and inequality in developing countries because poverty and inequality are natural, moreover, globalization helps reducing the incidence of child labor, and promoting redistribution of the wealth through tax coordination. As globalization is an irreversible trend and has positive impact on the fight against poverty and inequality, governments should take it as a potential…

this paper is to discuss the literature review pertinent to chlamydia trachomatis as the most common sexual transmitted disease-STD among adolescents; therefore, it is a disease all adolescent and young adult should be educated about to decrease incidence and impact of infertility especially among young women (Buttaro, Trybulski, Bailey, & Sandberg-Cook, 2013). Risk factors and severity of chlamydia determine the consequences on women’s health. Literature Review Problem Statement The problem…

Nasal polyps are benign growths of the nasal lining and/or mucosa that blocks drainage causing chronic congestion, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, runny nose, etc. In the U. S., the overall incidence of nasal polyps in children is 0.1%; the incidence in children with CF is 6-48%. Among adults, the incidence is 1-4% overall, with a range of 0.2-28% (Casale et al, 2011). This condition would explain John’s nasal congestion, sneezing, and is linked with his history of asthma. However, his itchy eyes…

determinant of type two diabetes amongst children living in poverty. Sufficient medical care and intervention could predict early symptoms of type two diabetes such as frequent urination, blurry vision, and weakened immunity and thereby lower the incidence rate of the disease. Greater educational achievement has been linked to an increase in diabetes preventative strategies such as healthy eating habits, and sufficient exercise. (Pampel et al., 2010). Clark and Sharon (2014) determined that…

failure is more commons in older persons and affects approximately 2.5% of the population aged 245 years. Hypertension preceded the onset of heart failure in 70%of men and 78% of women and was associated with a two- to four-fold increase in the incidence of heart failure. Coronary heart disease was present in 59% of men and 48% of…

Since Canada started vaccinating against measles, there was a more than tenfold decrease of measles incidence (De Serres et al., 2013). However, there were several outbreaks reported in Canada from 2008-2011, ranging from 56 to 30,000 cases. Currently, the major cause of measles outbreaks is failure to vaccinate or incomplete vaccination (Dallaire, De Serres, Tremblay, Markowski & Tipples, 2009; De Serres et al., 2013; De Serres, 2012; Duclos, Redd, Varughese, & Hersh, 1999). Other causes of…

Anencephaly occurs due to a neural tube defect ( failure of closure of the rostral end of the tube ) , which occurs during embryogenesis [2]. The disorder usually has a very poor prognosis . Aim : To determine whether there are any…
