Standardized death certification rates for cerebrovascular disease in Bulgaria in the age group 0-64 were about six times higher than in England in 1994. Methods: This study is based on a sample of 3100 people aged 25 - 74. Subjects were invited to their local polyclinics where anthropometrical indices and blood pressure were measured, a blood sample drawn and questionnaire administered. Results: Means and proportions for ages 35 64 standardised to the world standard population, were for males and females respectively: Systolic blood pressure 132 mmHg and 129 mmHg, Diastolic blood pressure 86 mmHg and 85 mmHg, Total serum cholesterol 5.0 mmol/l and 5.0 mmol/l, Body Mass Index 26.2 kg/m2 and 25.8 kg/m2, regular smokers - 36% and 29%. Conclusions: The risk factor findings offer little explanation for reported mortality trends. Repeated surveillance studies will be needed and for these, greater attention will need to be given to achieving and maintaining quality in data collection. ····· 1036121198

These services are provided by both the public and the private sectors. In 2008, the country had approximately 121,218 people with HIV/AIDS receiving antiretroviral therapy, and the target for the year 2011/12 was to increase this figure. This involves ambitious expansion. Nonetheless, there are few assessments of how the process of scale-up of HIV/AIDS care affects quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness. Quality of care has an important bearing on client satisfaction, a key aspect of health care delivery. Client satisfaction can determine if a client seeks medical advice and care and adheres to prescribed treatment. Dissatisfaction can have terrible consequences, like patients not following treatment regimens. Little information is available on satisfaction among clients who receive HIV/AIDS care in Uganda, comparing public and private health facilities. It was necessary to find out the situation in each, and the perceived quality of care. This study measured client satisfaction in Kabale district where HIV/AIDS prevalence is about 10%. ····· 1036120930

After a detailed the present study showed a clear picture of factors affecting the knowledge and attitude towards the PC & PNDT Act. The existence of son preference at an alarmingly high rate in our society is the root cause of imbalanced sex ratio. Moreover, the inclination to female feticide is reported by the subjects in spite of them being aware of the consequences of imbalance in sex ratio. Socio demographic factors like age, literacy, socioeconomic status, parity sex of the previous child and pressure by family or husband affect the knowledge, attitude and practices towards the PC & PNDT Act and woman s preference for her next child.

für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray One of the key responses to the HIV/AIDS crisis has been the provision of School- based HIV/AIDS education, to try and improve teenagers` ability to make wise and sensible decisions regarding their behaviours. The interventions have been premised on links between education and behaviour, the underlying assumption being that teaching young people how to protect themselves from HIV can lead to a reduction in risk behaviour and hence a reduction in HIV incidence (UNAIDS, 1997). An important part of this process has been the development of an education sector policy on HIV and AIDS, aimed at implementing and effecting, among others, the policy goal of Prevention. This study, with the use of a systems theory as a theoretical framework, examines the policy, provision and practice of HIV/AIDS education in secondary schools in Kenya with the view to informing policy and providing options for re-designing and scaling up (if necessary) the HIV/AIDS program. ····· 1036120529

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Classical HLA class I (class Ia) downregulation may be the cause of immune escape mechanism by the cancer cells and is well documented in different cancers. Recently it is shown that in leukemia there is a locus specific HLA class Ia downregulation both at the antigenic and transcriptional level. As, so far, no mutation is recorded in HLA genes so the reason may lies at the expression of different transcription factors (TRFs) that regulate its expression. Reports suggest that there is an alteration of the constitutive region binding TRFs of the HLA promoter in leukemia. Though there is upregulation of some inducible region binding TRFs, but they are unable to transcribe the HLA class Ia genes. This indicates the accessory role of the inducible binding TRFs. Absence of non-classical HLA class I (class Ib) in leukemic cells may give us the molecular rationale for the success of NK cell mediated immunotherapy. Interestingly, neutrophils (PMNs) of normal volunteers in contact with leukemic cells showed HLA class II expression and oxidative damage towards the leukemic cells. So, PMNs can be utilized for the management of infections under the condition and for leukemia immunotherapy. ····· 1036120312

This book presents the spatial prevalence of malaria and the coping strategies adopted to prevent and treat malaria in the Ga East Municipality. It was observed that the disease has consistently been the most predominant cause of morbidity and places a challenge on the health delivery system in the municipality. The book also shows that an interplay of environmental, economic and anthropogenic factors leads to differentials in vulnerability to malaria infections. Malaria also directly and indirectly affects the potential of an individual to undertake his or her daily economic activities, the ability to participate in community and religious gatherings. Malaria has the tendency of reducing household income and creates emotional and psychological distress. This book therefore identifies the weaknesses associated with the unavailability of basic services in urban fringes and how they affect health conditions.

They are also more subject to external influences, which may drive them to adopt new practices such as drug use. Because of this increased vulnerability, they may become transmitters of STI/HIV to their families and communities back home. In fact, in Tamil Nadu, migration is the main link between HIV high-risk groups and the population at large. Although all elements point to the importance of a coordinated prevention policy for migrants on HIV, research on the subject has been minimal and inter-state cooperation has been restricted to a few isolated activities, falling short of a comprehensive policy on the subject. It is hoped that the present research will contribute to filling this gap. This research adopted a cross-sectional methodology, including a thorough literature review, and detailed questionnaires for 1009 slum dwellers.

Among other issues of quality and responsiveness, the overall focus on disease prevention and health promotion has been negligible. Private sector though fills the gaps but can neither become the forefront provider for the entire population, nor it can ensure equity. To develop rational policies and feasible plans for efficient, acceptable, cost-effective, affordable and accessible health services, the drivers of health seeking behaviour need to be understood. Traditionally,the health policy planning process has been impaired due to a lack of information relating to the utilization of public, private and informal health care in Pakistan, especially among the rural remote population sub groups. Moreover, the determinants of health service utilization such as socio-demographic, economic physical accessibility, financial accessibility, mother s autonomy and health service factors are seldom taken into account.

Research efforts towards the search for neuroprotective substances in hopes to curtailing the consequences of these diseases are continuous. Most neurodegenrative diseases are usually a consequence of excess production of oxygen radicals from oxidative stress. The oxygen radicals are mopped up by antioxidants produced endogenously or from nutritional supplements. Flavonoids are rich sources of antioxidants. Thus have the ability to scavenge free radicals, making them harmless. There are abundant plants known to be rich in antioxidants. Kolaviron is the biflavonoid complex and most abundant constituent of one of such plants, Garcinia kola. Due to the antioxidant properties of kolaviron it will have the potential to protect neurons from toxic damage, and that is the focus of this work.

Little is known, however, about the typology of preventive health behaviour adopted by undergraduates of the University of Ibadan against the disease condition. This study, therefore determined the pattern and types of HIV preventive health behaviour among undergraduates of the University. The study was cross-sectional in design. A two-stage sampling procedure was used to randomly select 400 students from the Faculties of Pharmacy, the Social Sciences, Arts and Dentistry out of the thirteen Faculties in the university. A validated questionnaire which assessed the students preventive health behaviour and the antecedent factors was used for data collection. The prevalence of the adoption of each of the types of HIV preventive health behaviour among the participants was low in spite of their general high level of knowledge of the disease. Health education strategies such as peer education, social marketing and advocacy are needed to promote the adoption of preventive health behaviour among young persons. ····· 1036118070· 1 ·· 2 ·· 3 ·· 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·
