Pressure ulcers are localized skin alterations over a bony prominence resulting in tissue damage due to a decrease in blood supply. They are often found in persons who are bed or chair bound in long term care facilities because of a decrease in mobility and predisposing health comorbidities. Pressure ulcers can damage skin tissue from muscle to the bone thus…

Knee Osteoarthritis can occur in any age group, but a higher number of cases occur in people over 45 years of age and incidence increases with age. The reason this is greater in people over the age of 45 is because knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease due to wear and tear on the joints and does not fall into the same classification as rheumatoid arthritis (Lesher, 2011, p.173). Consequently, this disease is causing a degenerative in the joint this can cause excruciating pain for…

and cleft palate which occur as an isolated condition, or may be one component of an inherited disease or syndrome are among the most common of all birth defects. Cleft lips and palates are frequent congenital craniofacial malformations, with an incidence of 1.5-2.5 per 1,000 live births. Children who have an orofacial cleft require several surgical procedures. Most large defects, also known as critical bone defects are successfully treated with allogenous as well autogenous bone grafts. From…

According to Bloomgren. et at. (2012), natalizumab treatment is connected to development of multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). PML is a very rare infection that cannot be treated and cannot be prevented and normally can cause death and disabilities. Natizumab is a monoclonal antibody that attaches the protein that called alpha 4 integrin and this protein can be found on the surface of white blood cells (NIH, 2015). In addition, PML is a disease that targets myelin and myelin form a whitish…

It depicts a society where the leadership culture has allowed inaction as opposed to being proactive. The latest allegation of rape and sexual misconduct is just one of the several incidences which are known to have happened in the past. Therefore, the initial steps that have been taken to restore a good image of the ADF inspire little confidence that something meaningful will be achieved.

CRPS can be sub classified into two diagnostic subtypes: type I, in which no peripheral nerve injury can be identified, and type II, where symptoms are…

events such as haemorrhage while thromboembolic events can happen even at a recommended dose. Different INR is based on different treatment. For example, for patients with atrial fibrillation, it is recommended that the INR range is 2.0-3.0, as the incidence of both haemorrhagic or thromboembolic events are the lowest. However, various studies have reported that Asian population are more sensitive to warfarin than…
