In low and middle income countries, burns pose a significant dander to children and adolescent groups with statistics indicating that up to 95% of burn victims within this group ultimately die from the effects. Apparently, the management of burns in this group has been limited to the period immediately after the burn incident with no continued physiotherapy programs for the victims. This paper seeks to focus on the PICOT question “For children and adolescents who are victims of burns, does continued physiotherapy until full growth and development as compared to standard care reduce the risk of scoliosis and future ...

Dear colleagues,

Center for Disease Control and Prevention has reported around 1.153 injuries and 9 deaths per day caused by distraction from the road. (National2, 2013.). Thus, the new Corporate Communication Policy decrees no cell phone calls while driving except for emergency, jams or absolute necessity.

Introduction Whether an elderly person is living alone, with others, within a nursing home, or under care in a medical facility, falling is a major threat. For seniors older than 65 years of age living in a community situation, one in three will suffer a fall every year; for individuals over 85 years of age, the rate climbs to half of all residents (Cameron et al., 2010; CBO, 2004; Neyens, 2007; Tinetti, 2003). If an elderly adult is institutionalized, the possibility of falling in a year rises to 1.5 to 2 times (Dijcks et al., 2005) and a serious ...

1 In my opinion, the owner should elaborate the strategy directed to the elimination of conflicts that arise due to the differences in salary amounts. First of all, the discussion about salaries should be prohibited in the restaurant and also in case the staff still argues about it often, Gino can regulate the issue with the tips. For example, all the tips can be divided between the servers in equal parts, or similar. 2 3 In my opinion, business and family should be treated as separate things, especially in case when the owner’s family ...

According to François Fourchet, “40% of injuries that occur in track and field affect the foot, ankle, and lower leg” (Fourchet, Horobeanu, Loepelt, Taiar, & Millet, 2011). Thus, such a large rate of leg maims indicates the significance of the issue. It should be mentioned that “Maturation status has been reported to influence injury rate ...

Cook, Burton and Hoogenboom (2006) wrote a two-part series on the significance of fundamental movement patterns as indicators of functionality among athletes. Fundamental movements comprise those movements that are common to many sports activities. The authors argued that optimal fundamental movement patterns ensure competence and efficiency because the body does not need to compensate during the performance of athletic activities (Cook, Burton & Hoogenboom, 2006). For this reason, the risk of injury, repeat injury, and diminished performance in the long-term are reduced. The authors proposed pre-participation screening for fundamental movements, instead of just evaluating the ability to perform the skills ...

Healthcare professionals are responsible for not only facilitating recovery of a patient from health issues, but also preventing injuries to the patient during and after care. Despite the immense efforts by stakeholders in health to ensure safety of the patients under care, zero cases have not yet been achieved, as sentinel events are still a major challenge to patients and the healthcare industry. Park-Lee and Caffrey (2009) estimates that 9.2% of all people admitted in hospital acquire one or more nosocomial infections. The Joint Commission (2015) defines a sentinel event as an unexpected situation that leads to the physical ...

Question 1 The results of the Commission on Inquiry Report are somewhat depressing and dismal which is not the objective of a hospital or health care institution. The complaints from the report were as follows: assaulted, neglected and left to die patients under grave conditions; uncaring healthcare providers; and lack of sufficient care for patients who need more than medication. These are clear indications of the hospitals’ lack of concern to the welfare of their patients and lax and sloppy hospital administration. However, there are times that the administrations of ...

Heart failure is a pathophysiologic condition characterized by the heart’s inability to generate sufficient cardiac output, resulting in either inefficient tissue perfusion or increase in the diastolic filling pressure of the left ventricle, or both, which lead to increased pulmonary capillary pressure (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2014). Heart failure is a leading cause of death in the US (McCance et al., 2014; Mozaffarian et al., 2015). American Heart Association has estimated that in 2013, cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 30.8% of all deaths in the US, or 222.9 per 100,000 deaths (Mozaffarian et al., 2015).

It was in 1993 when dozens of girls in Chihuahua, Mexico were murdered and dumped around the city to be left out as if they were garbage (Wright, 2011, p.707).

This idea is introduced by Bourdieu so that he develops a debate regarding the potential of language to establish authority, secure a powerful position, structure prospects for emblematic profit and establish limitations within a given field. Bourdieu writes that censorship is never quite as perfect or invisible as ...
