Target 4a of the millennium development goals (MDGs) is to reduce by two-thirds the under-five mortality rate. So far, global statistics have shown that the mortality rate of this sector has been reduced by 17,000 deaths annually. However, the United Nations reports that in sub-Saharan Africa, one ten children die before reaching age five while it is one in sixteen children in Southern Asia. In these areas, as well as in low-income communities elsewhere, the role of community workers cannot be discounted, particularly in preventing the spread of infectious diseases such as measles and dengue fever. It is ...

Purpose

This paper presents a proposal on a solution to the current Ebola outbreak that has persistently killed innocent people in West Africa.

How Temperature Effects Platelet Function During Hypothermic and Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass
ABSTRACT
Background
During the process of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB), the physiology of platelet functions subjected to different temperature conditions largely determines whether a patient will experience increased or reduced postoperative bleeding. This research paper showed that platelets levels in normothermic patients are preserved better than in the hypothermic patients.

Methods

Meta-analysis test was applied in numerous peer-reviewed journals. Among the articles I reviewed, one hundred patients were randomized into the normothermic perfusion (35 to 37Cº, N=50) and the mild hypothermic CPB group (27-32Cº, N=50). They compared temperature ...

However, before the 1960s, ethics remained to be an area that business people did not give much attention to (Lantos, 2001). During those times, matters that concerned ethics were best left to theologians and the religious. However, the beginning of the 1960s saw an increase in concern over ethical issues in business.

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) remains the key technology for more complex cardiac operations. Despite tremendous progress since its introduction into clinical practice, CPB is still far from perfect and hence continuous efforts to study and improve hemocompatibilityof both conduct and components of CPB are crucial. The problem is cardiac surgery in conjunction with cardiopulmonary bypass in its current form restricts the patient to exit the hospital in 5-7 days. We know that conventional standard bypass triggers the release of inflammatory mediator which elongates patient’s length of stay. The Pinnacle System tricks red blood cells, platelets, proteins and inflammatory mediators ...
