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.

Background

Based from the interview and observation, the two most common diseases occurring in both sides of the family are: (1) diabetes, specifically NIDDM, and (2) heart disease, specifically atherosclerosis. These diseases are commonly known as lifestyle diseases mainly because of their non-curable characteristic.
It was found out that diabetes, in the family, might skip a generation because one of our grandparents had it, but none of their children or our parents was able to acquire diabetes. However, this is still only a theory and is not yet conclusive as we are yet to establish the prevalence among our (second) generation. ...

Introduction

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness with strong and consistently reported causal linkages with cigarette smoking. Econometric analyses have demonstrated sufficient rationale in promoting smoking cessation as an effective strategy for primary prevention of AMD (Hurley et al, 2008). Japan shares many of the contemporary health issues with the developed countries including its demographic profile (long life expectancy, aging population) and disease burden (lifestyle related disorders). The prevalence of AMD in Japanese population has been found comparable to that in White population (Nakata et al, 2013).This provides sufficient basis for replication of evidence-based strategies ...
