Globally, it is a leading cause of infant hospitalization being associated with increasing morbidity rates and costs in recent decades. For instance, it was reported that 21% of infants in North America developed the disease in the first year of their life, with an annual cost of $390 million annually (Checchia 2008). In the UK, the infant death rate ...

Introduction

Fair play in business practices is essential to the maintenance of a self-sustainable corporate environment. Precisely, all the parties involved in any business activity need to embrace ethical principles while following the legal provisions in any commercial venture.

Negotiations in the NFL Lockout

As of date, the National Football League is running its 2012 draft, which is a far cry from what happened just a year ago. When the labor talks between the NFL and the union broke down, the Union decertified, allowing individual players to file lawsuits against the NFL. It took a little over a year before the lockout came to an end and only because the owners agreed to the recommended settlement of the NFL Players’ Association.

Looking at the outcome of the lockout, the most surprising thing that probably happened was that both the NFL Players’ Association and the ...

Post-stroke dysphagia, a potentially fatal complication, affects an estimated 23-50% of all stroke survivors. It is associated with a seven fold increase in the risk for aspiration pneumonia. Aspiration pneumonia increases the catabolic demands of the body and in the settings of impaired swallowing leads to a vicious cycle of malnutrition, dehydration, and further infections (Shaker & Geenen, 2011). Dysphagia affects a significant number of patients with hemispheric stroke which is the main subtype of ischemic stroke in the general population (Kumar et al., 2011). The functions of swallowing are subserved by a vast brain network. The inferior peri-rolandic sensorimotor ...

In the case of the request for a second meeting between Shirley and Jeannie, with Kelly supervising, I believe it is quite necessary to do this, especially after the events of the first meeting. Despite the fact that it would be quite tense to go through for all parties involved, it would foster a much better work relationship between everybody if another meeting was attempted, this time with a greater attempt at fostering amity with Shirley and Jeannie.

Development is the movement, growth, and transition made by an individual from one state to another in life.

Alexander (2007) tells us that duty ethics, or deontology, is a normative theory regarding what people should do, rather than what they should be. Hence, duty ethics is chiefly concerned with actions people take, rather than the consequences stemming from those actions. Deontology, in broad strokes, posits that if an action is right in principle, then there is no moral obligation forbidding that action – it need not be avoided, regardless of consequences.
Deontological theories are best understood in contrast to their consequentialist counterparts (Alexander, 2007). Consequentialism dictates that actions or intentions ought to be judged by the state of ...

During that period and also up to now in some cases, a young African-American teenage boy was more likely to die of a gunshot wound rather than from all causes of death. Due to the ...

Introduction

Domestic violence has adverse impacts on the development of a child. In fact, the emotional turmoil created by growing up in such an environment heightens the chances of the infant engaging in rebellious activities such as drug abuse and other denial behaviors in their youth. With this in mind, it is worth appreciating the fact that Susie’s exposure to childhood molestation at an early age contributed to her drug problems and overall response to his abusive marriage. Since she witnessed her mother withstand the abuse she received from his father, she felt obliged to keep up with his ...

In addition, the paper, through another case study, ...

Jasmine is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is the most common form of pediatric cancers. It is caused by malignant transformations that occur in hematopoietic stem cells, making them undifferentiated cells with increased longevity. In ALL, those cells are called lymphoid cells, and their rate of proliferation causes fast growth and destruction of healthy bone marrow. Because of Jasmine’s age, the chances for an initial remission can be estimated at 95 percent (Rytting, 2012). However, achieving a complete cure is not a likely outcome, and an open and honest communication with Jasmine and her parents about her condition ...

Introduction and Background

In the past 60 years, India has crossed major milestones in healthcare such as greater life expectancy, decrease in infant death rate, wiping out leprosy and eliminating small pox. Regardless of the progress, India’s healthcare demonstrates crude inequalities. At one end of the spectrum is the rise in medical tourism, pulling in more than 2 lac global patients in 2006. At the other end, curable diseases like diarrhoea and malnutrition, particularly of children below 3 years, are continually predominant. Likewise, in comparison to South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, vaccinations in India are still ...

Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), also known as Leber optic atrophy, is a familial neuro-ophthalmologic disorder manifest by varying degrees of loss of ganglion cells from the optic nerve, with variable severity at onset, variable rate of deterioration, variable ultimate vision outcome and variable recovery of lost vision (Kelly).

Causes

LHON is caused by any of eighteen mutations of various mitochondrial genes coding for subunits of electron transport chain complexes, primarily complex I (NADH-dehydrogenase), which are responsible for converting energy derived from food into a form usable at the cellular level. Three of these mutations, those at base pairs 11778, 3460 and ...

Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy, is characterized by separation of the two major layers of the retina (the innermost layer of the eye): the inner neurosensory layer (which contains cells that transmit electrical impulses to the occipital lobe) and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) (the outer layer of the retina that contains the photoreceptor [light-receiving] cells). The mechanism of this condition is leakage of serous (serum-like) fluid from a portion of the choroid (the layer of the eye just outside the retina) called the choriocapillaris (a network of small blood vessels located in that portion ...
