Introduction

Cruciate ligaments are arranged like the letter X hence they are also called cruciform ligaments. The ligaments are primarily found on the knee and function in not only stabilizing the joint but also in allowing a wide range of motion. In the knee, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligaments (PCL) criss-cross to form the cruciate ligament. The two ligaments are strong round bands that extend from head of the tibia to the intercondyloid notch of the femur (Margheritini, 2011). The anterior cruciate ligament lies lateral and crosses the medial posterior cruciate ligament like the limbs ...

Introduction

Surgical site infections (SSI) are surgical wound infections that occur within 30 days after a surgical intervention. Surgical site infections are complications accompanied with significant post-surgical morbidity and mortality (Reichman and Greenberg 2009). Astagneau et al. (2001) pointed that more than 30% of the postoperative mortality can be associated to some extend with some complications related to surgical site infections. SSI’s can vary in severity from small local inflammation on the site of incision to a serious infection that can endanger the life of the patient. The resolution of SSI can also result in serious cosmetic, functional and even debilitating ...

Abstract:

The abstract outlines the strategy to be used in the analysis and evaluation of the effects of police numbers on crime rates amid problems arising from causality since many issues that affect crime and police numbers such as social changes or economic cycles exist. The report will focus on critically analysing whether more crime causes more policing or whether more policing leads to less crime. However, on a different view, high police presence may also tend to cause more crime therefore the need to examine temporal sequences arises.

Introduction:

Classical criminology studies assume that criminals are rational beings who weigh the ...

Introduction

Natural disasters are bound to happen in any region of the country or continent. Such occurrences mostly result in very catastrophic damages to lives and property. They can derail the economic development of any country as they rob off the necessary resources needed for development (Quarantelli, 1988). Although there is nothing that can be done to prevent these occurrences, a country can do something to reduce the negative impacts of natural disasters. Any country must be ready to prepare for any natural disaster. Resources required before, during and after any natural incident need to be readily available to compact these ...

The theory of plate tectonics describes the wide­scale movements of the lithosphere of

the earth. The model is based on the ideas of continental drift, which first gained acceptance in
the early 1900s. The geoscientific community granted the theory even more validity after the
notion of seafloor spreading appeared in the late 1950s. Basically, the lithosphere is not whole
but instead is separated into either seven or eight major plates, depending on the definition that
you use. Every meeting point between plates has its own relative movement, either transform,
convergent or divergent. Volcanic activity, mountain creation and earthquakes all occur along
these edges, and the plates ...

Today, one of the leading causes of mortality in the US is cardiovascular diseases (CVD). It is considered to be one of the serious illnesses; there are one out of four deaths every year from CVD in the US (Go, 2013). To understand the common factors that contribute to development of CVD, a study termed as the “Framingham Heart Study” was initiated way back in 1948 (FHS, 2013). At this time, there was very little knowledge on the general causes of heart disease, but there was a rising incidence of CVD in the US and it had almost become an epidemic. ...
