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,

The latest mortal car crash induced by a speaking on a cell-phone stockbroker caused concerns about safety on a mobile working place. 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.

Quality and Safety Practice: Prevention of Patient Falls - Literature Review

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 ...

How to Manage Diabetes

Managing diabetes is a daily challenge that is worth the effort. The most important thing in managing diabetes is to ensure the blood sugar maintains the levels recommended by the physician (Yee Cheng et al. 3). Eating the right foods and substituting regular soda and juice with drinking water, eating foods such as bread pasta, rice, and whole grain cereals since they contain more fiber helps maintain the right blood sugar levels. Also, it is advisable to avoid high-calorie foods and instead, choose foods like vegetables, whole grains, cereals, and skim milk. It is also important to be active ...

History portrays famous people who created, changed, and improved the lives of the community, the obstacles that occurred in the past such as economic depressions, illnesses, and the development of technology. It is because of history that modern societies of the twentieth-century learned valuable knowledge from their predecessors. However, what the history omits is the role played by the children especially during the medieval times. This paper proposes to study the life of medieval children as well as their role in the society. The status of children was often ignored; the scarcity of historical documents makes it almost impossible ...

I. While person gets to know something regarding crime or related issues, the offender, the victim are the two parties that necessarily come to mind. The victim, generally, refers to the party that was harmed as a result of the offender’s violation of a criminal law. The key underlying element in this definition is that a person, the offender, is motivated for financial or personal gain to violate a law, rule, regulation or custom. This violation then leads to the injury of another person, the victim. In this sense, the victim is often seen as an unfortunate consequence ...

“The case that occurred in 1970 with a minor child had sustained irreversible injuries due to the negligence of the hospital and the physician” . The physician who seen the boy the first time around has misdiagnosed him. It was apparent that he had severe head trauma, and was showing all the signs of having internal skull injuries. The physician should have seen the signs and rushed the boy for surgery. The admissions office who had mixed up the orders for admitting the boy should have double checked the admissions policy, and never let the child leave the hospital. The ...

The young mind is a malleable and highly vulnerable entity with which trauma can dramatically influence with long-lasting effects. While both boys and girls are prone to posttraumatic stress disorder, evidence shows that females tend to experience greater effects from traumatic events than their male counterparts. When asking the question of whether boys and girls respond similarly to post-traumatic interventions, it is important to note that although females are wounded greater due to their emotional capacity, both males and females experience a measurable minimization of potentially damaging symptoms as a result of treatment. Ultimately, however, females are in a ...

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 ...

Running, jumping and throwing are the fundamental sport skills for athletics or track and field. That kind of sport is known since ancient times and it performs ever after. Athletes partaking in track and field as in any other sport may suffer from injuries. 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 ...

Introduction

Intimate partner violence, widely recognized as domestic violence, can be best defined as “a pattern of assaultive and coercive behaviors including physical, sexual and psychological attacks, as well as economic coercion used by adults or adolescents against their current or former intimate partners” (“Behind Closed Doors: The Impact of Domestic Violence on Children” 3). It is no secret that children desperately need safety and security within their homes and the love and care of their parents. However, it is a bitter truth that a great number of children do not have a haven-like home. It is ...

Identify one or more clinical foreground questions that, if posed, would be addressed by this study. Which PICOT components do your questions capture? Anger and anxiety have been noted as significant influences in the levels of blood pressure in children. However, as within the results of this study in which the RNs studied a group of 264 students between the third and sixth grade, the indication is that anger control is a determinant for BP levels in children but anxiety does not indicate any statistically significant influence (Howell, Rice, Carmon & Hauber, 2007). In essence, for children with appropriate anger ...

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 ...

Massive flood in Arkansas

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (2015) flooding of Arkansas river has been the worst since 1990. Starting on Christmas evening, the flooding followed heavy rainfall that reached 10 inches in western and northern parts of Arkansas. More than 40 counties were affected by flood that caused wide-spread damage. As the river remained high for several days, the flooding actively spread to neighboring states, such as Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama (Hardy, 2015). Major causes of deaths and injuries tended to deal with drowning and falling trees. The injuries took place at different moments throughout the day. On December 26th ...

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 ...

Business Torts & Ethics

Standing alone, the intruder is liable for his or her actions. The intruder is liable for a number of crimes independent of the landowner’s liability. While the landowner may be held liable as well, the intruder is most definitely liable for his intentional torts committed against Darryl and Sharon. Simply because the intruder committed the torts on the landowner’s property does not excuse the intruder from personal liability. The intruder is potentially liable for a number of different torts. The intruder can be charged with burglary. While burglary is a tort, not a crime, the intruder has ...

First, when looking at labile cells, it can be said that ultimately these are continuously dividing cells of short life span, which directly pass from M to G1 phase of the cell cycle (Abuhashim).

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 ...

Furthermore, the entrepreneurs spend less on acquiring the legal documents as compared to the other types of business.

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). The 2013 ...

Crosswalks are vital places that help to make the process of crossing the street safe. Moreover, they help the drivers to see the pedestrians and reduce the risk of getting into a car accident. Nevertheless, people should not underestimate the danger of crossing the street even if there is a crosswalk. The poor quality facilities have always been the main reason why the pedestrian injuries occur. So in order to change the situation for the better, three issues need to be addressed: responsible behaviour of the pedestrians, better visibility and slower traffic at the crosswalks or in the places ...

Introduction

The human resource is the most valuable asset in an organization since it is responsible for the daily activities that take place in a business entity. Failure to acknowledge the contribution made by employees implies that an organization is likely to encounter a culture based on low staff morale as well as forms of individualism that negatively affects the operations in a company. Any human resource department needs to place major priority on key aspects such as minimum wage for employees, ensuring health and safety standards comply with OSHA standards and protect the health of employees throughout their interaction ...

Introduction

While this crime has happened decades ago, it still haunts the minds of investigators, experts, and historians. The assassination of John F. Kennedy is one of the mysteries that has remained unraveled until these days. Myriads of conspiracy theories linking together the CIA, FBI, KGB, Cuba, and Lyndon B. Johnson, were the result of, as experts admitted, an ambiguous and negligent official report. The assassination of JFK was particularly sudden and shocking for the American people, which required a close and meticulous examination. On November, 1963 President of the U.S. Lyndon B. Johnson has created a special commission for ...

Introduction

Natural disasters are inevitable catastrophes that disrupt the normal livelihoods of people causing property destruction, devastation, injuries, illnesses and loss of lives. Most natural disasters such as earthquakes occur suddenly and are the ones that cause the most damage. Although disasters like hurricanes have advanced warnings, they still end up causing hazardous effects though of lesser magnitude than the ones without warning since people will tend to get injured while scramming to prepare for the disaster or during the evacuation process. The number of people affected by disasters has tripled in the last decade to two billion people, yet ...

The implication is that the contribution of the construction industry to the country’s economy is immense. In the year 2010, there were 300,000 construction companies employing more than 2.5 million workers (Hughes and Ferrett 1). However, despite its importance to the economy, the construction industry ...

Oral health presents a significant public health problem that affects every group in the human population. Typically, children with poor oral health tend to show an undesirable oral health outcome throughout their childhood and adulthood because people are constantly susceptible to the development of dental caries during their lifetimes (Kawashita, Kitamura, & Saito, 2011). Past investigations have reported that oral health is linked to numerous health issues. Dental caries in childhood, for instance, increases the risk of comorbid maladies like cardiovascular disease and diabetes (Kawashita et al., 2011). The World Health Organization (2015) recognizes the significant impact of oral health ...
