Causes Of Ocular Trauma

These factors increase the minority groups of being uninsured, lack of health care accessibility, receive poorer quality care and experiencing worse health outcomes, including low income individuals and black people (Ubri & Artiga, 2016). In United States, the healthcare disparities are very obvious and it can be clearly seen between urban and rural

Social cohesion is weakened, and conflict situations are created, generating violence and sick societies. More than nine million children die each year before their fifth birthday. Between 33% and 50% due to malnutrition. The cause of death is usually diarrhea, but behind it is acute deficits of necessary micronutrients. About 2 million children die from pneumonia.

The diabetic foot is a notorious condition that podiatrists treat frequently. Multi-factorial in its development, the diabetic foot is a complex complication of diabetes mellitus1. Characteristically, the condition results in an increase in pressures acting on the plantar aspect of the foot, resulting in tissue destruction1. Alterations in anatomical structures force the foot to adapt in order to maintain some function, and in doing so, alters the biomechanics of the lower limb1. Pathological changes become increasingly prevalent and prevention of tissue destruction becomes exceedingly difficult1.

In Fresh Fruits, Broken Bodies, Seth Holmes defines structural violence as “Social inequalities and hierarchies, often along social categories of class, race, gender and sexuality” (Holmes, 89). Holmes expresses that minorities are stigmatized and suppress based on their ethnic background. According to Holmes, “Nationwide, migrant farmworkers are sicker than other groups… these health disparities fall along citizenship, ethnicity, and class lines [81 percent of these workers are immigrants, 95 percent Mexican] and 52 percent of whom are undocumented” (Holmes, 99). The structural violence of America’s oppressing social structure becomes embodied in form of sickness. Unfortunately, the subordination of Immigrants’ race mostly allows them to be employed for manual labor.

Recent evidence in the USA shows that roughly one in three patients experienced an AE, and in 6% of cases, AE is severe enough to prolong the patients’ hospitalisation and send them home with a permanent or temporary disability.6 In Canada, it has been estimated that the overall incidence rate of AEs is 7.5%, and 40 % of these events are potentially preventable.7 An Australian research has estimated the prevalence of medical errors and patients’ injuries in the Australian healthcare system to be 16.6 % of total 14,179 admissions, 51% of the adverse events were considered preventable.8 The financial cost of these AEs has been estimated to range from $ 483 to $ 900 million per

Can you imagine going through long battle with a disease only to be told that you have only 6 more months to live. All of these thoughts and questions start running through your head and you feel like you’re dreaming or having some sort of out of body experience. Being diagnosed with a terminal illness is unimaginable, emotional and physically trying. Cancer is the number one leading cause of terminal death in the United States, to put that into a better perspective one out of every four deaths is cancer related. That’s about 564,000 deaths annually and 1,500 deaths per day.

The high incidence of both hospitalizations and deaths related to the flu are the reason that it’s so important that everyone over 6 months of age have the flu shot. There are five special populations that influenza impacts more than the regular populations. These populations are the elderly (65 or older), pregnant women, those with

Medication error (ME) is defined as “improper dosage, delivery of an incorrect medication administration to wrong patient, and inappropriate medication therapy” (XU et al., 2014, p. 286). ME is a long threat standing threat and is common errors in health care setting. It outcome can lead to physically harmful, fatal and prolong hospitalization, and enormously costly. In the mental health setting, some of causes of ME are, similarities of generic and brand names of drug, similarities of container labels and packages, and illegible of handwriting prescription. In this paper, the issue of medication administration error related to sound-alike and look-alike medications will be examines and implement a policy and procedure to prevent this error

Women are victimized; genocide prevails because governments are unable to defend its people from the cultural and economical downfall. In order to provide one right to citizen, developing countries are forced to violate other human rights because the idealized standard set by western world difficult to

Horizontal inequality can arise between groups clustered by ethnicity, religion, linguistic, history, culture and tribal affiliations. Four primary sources of horizontal inequality and examples regarding violent conflict that has arisen due to them are highlighted below: Primary sources of horizontal inequality Violent conflict example Discrimination in public spending Discrimination in public spending on education and healthcare leading to lack of development in rural and already disadvantaged areas of Burindi, Nepal have been the source of civil war in the country (Murshed and Gates, Murshed and Tadjoeddin, 2009). Asset inequality Asset inequality in agrarian countries as El Salvador, Guatemala, Phillippines and Zimbabwe

Lupus is the fourth leading cause in disability for women. 38% of Lupus patient has been forced to stop working due to health complications from this disease. Patients spend roughly about $6,000 in treatments alone. It is unfortunate that this disease has taken a backseat when it comes to research priorities. Hopefully as time goes by, the attention towards gaining investment will increase before more of the population has to go through this disease that makes it unbearable for an individual to live their

There is however a plethora of evidence to demonstrate the tragic outcomes for children when interdisciplinary working is not effective. The Lord Laming Report (2003) of the Victoria Climbie inquiry identified the need for effective multiagency working arrangements to recognise and respond to abuse of children in England and Wales. The report highlighted shortfalls in practice across 5 local authorities 2 local hospitals 3 GP practices and 2 police departments, where lack of effective multiagency and interagency working contributed to the ineffectual protection of 8

In today’s society, specific illnesses are found in certain areas because of a lack of sanitation or limited access to medicine and vaccinations. At this point, sanitation was relatively poor everywhere, which lead to its high infection rate. Other factors such as the Arab expansion, the Crusades and the discovery of the West Indies all contributed to the spread of the disease. Humans, by nature, are curious creatures, which is one of the many reasons why smallpox escalated to multiple different areas around the world. A great example of this is the introduction of smallpox by the Spanish and Portuguese explorers.

During the 1900’s the United States was effected by major health issues such as typhoid, pellagra, and goiter. Many of the diseases were caused by poor hygiene, poor sanitation, poor nutrition, poor maternal and infant health and unsafe

Physician Coburn noted that poor Veterans Affairs’ budget management led to many deaths as well. He also stated that the Veterans Affairs used roughly $20 billion for non-health-related purposes. Starting in 2001, the Veterans Affairs has paid around $845 million for malpractice cases (Devine, 2014). Rajiv Chandrasekaren noted in an article that nearly 60% of patients claim that the Veteran Affairs is providing poor or barely fair medical care to wounded war veterans. About 50% claim that the Veteran Affairs is offering poor effort when it comes to helping them adjust psychologically to a life outside war (The Washington Post,
