HCA 302. Health Care Organization

Introduction Health care systems are essential in providing security to nation-states world-over, which goes beyond health issues; entire economies depend on such vital system for security. One only has to imagine the devastation of a population by an infectious disease such as HIV/AIDS. Despite having some similarities, health systems vary from one country to the other. Notably, nations design as well as develop their health systems in line with their needs as well as the available resources. The United States and Canada share a border, and thus there is a natural inclination to compare the two health care regimes. ...

Kangaroo mother Care.

Kangaroo Care and Survival Rates Kangaroo mother care is a method of care for preterm and low birth weight infants involving skin to skin contact between mother and newborn, early discharge from hospital and frequent breastfeeding (WHO, 2003). Despite the limited research into this method of mother care, if continued at home, can it be blended with breastfeeding to boost survival rates among infants? In resource deprived areas, the Kangaroo is utilized often to reduce on mortality and morbidity among newborns (WHO, 2016). Other benefits are stabilized body heat, regulates child temperatures and improves on breathing of the new ...

Question 1.

Under demographic transition theory, countries transition from high death and high birth rates to low death and low birth rates, as the country’s economy develops. The transition of death and birth rates is divided into four stages:

Pre-Industrial Stage

Societies have high death and birth rates in the first stage of pre-industrial stage. As both death and birth rates are high, population growth is slow and majority of the population is young as despite several births, few manage to live for long. In the pre-industrial society, children tend to operate as an economic benefit for the families, which reinforces the ...

An aneurysm is a medical condition where a weakness in arterial walls causes an undue localized swelling of an artery. Aneurysms may stay asymptomatic or rupture, causing severe troubles and can even be fatal. Even though most aneurysms are not detected and do not cause serious issues, studies reveal that Aortic aneurysms are a reason for over 25000 fatalities in the US each year, as per facts intimated to the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDCP). About 30000 brain aneurysms rupture are reported every year, causing death in around 40% of cases, as per the statistics by the National ...

Why did you choose this topic? What are you trying to find out?

It is important to know the factors that affect the mortality rate in a region. This analysis has economic significance for appropriate policy decisions. If the factors that have a positive effect on mortality rate or increases the mortality rate can be known, those factors can be controlled by the government. Again if the factors that can reduce the mortality rate can be identified we can increase the availability of these factors in the economy so that mortality rate is reduced. Thus the study of the factors affecting mortality rate is quite important from the point of few of ...

My research covers on the topic about overpopulation in sub-Saharan Africa. Overpopulation is a condition whereby the number of the existing human population supersedes the carrying capacity of the planet. This condition is usually undesirable in nature. All over human history, birth rates have always equaled death rates maintaining a sustainable growth rate. My intention to research on overpopulation is based on how serious this issue is especially on the African continent. Overall, overpopulation poses a big problem in different fronts. It is a major cause of poverty, malnutrition and underdevelopment (Logan, 1991). This is especially so in Sub-Saharan ...

Indigenous Midwifery Practices in Canada

Introduction The indigenous people of Canada are the initial occupants of the present day Canada. They include the First Nations, Inuit and Métis. The indigenous people had a solid cultural health infrastructure even before the advent of modern medical system (Waldram, Herring & Young, 2000). The cultural health system had elements like midwifery, surgery, diagnosis and prescription principles. However, by the transition of the cultural health systems through periods of colonial influence, they have been significantly diluted. The indigenous body of beliefs about healthcare, wellbeing, spirituality and physical health, were considered deficient and substandard to the colonial health systems ( ...

Article "China’s Brutal One-Child Policy"

As one of the largest populations in the world, China introduced one-child policy in 1979. The goal of the policy is to reduce birth rates and stabilize the population growth. However, the controversy that exists behind this policy consists of breaking of some of the basic human rights such as the right over your body. Due to this policy, many families in China are faced with lack of help in the fields and the preference of boys over girls. The violation of the polity leads to severe abortions. This trend leads to large number of male population versus female ...

Abstract

Natural disasters have always happened and will continue to happen. Unfortunately, there is a major difference in how developed countries prepare for and respond to natural disasters, compared to developing countries. When a disaster hits a developing country, the death rates are much higher than in a developed country, the recovery period takes longer and the long term economic impact is more severe. This paper looks at the causes for the differences and addresses steps a developing country can take to be better prepared for and respond against potential natural disasters. There is a distinct difference in the terminology disaster professionals use between the ...

Introduction Economic consequences are extremely effective and essential for an economy; in fact the current world is like examining the effectiveness of the economies in terms of their economic power and effectiveness. Those economies that have a strong command over the economic consequences are more productive and effective as compared to those economies that have and strong command on the economic indicators (Basedow and Kono, p.34). Both Micro and Macroeconomics are essential for the sake of an economy, as both of them talks about the real growth of the economy and its economic consequences. Micro means the branch of economics ...

The article entitled “About That Overpopulation Problem”, written by Jeff Wise is a new look on global population issues. Wise uses previous research, data and statistics in order to develop a thesis for his work. Unlike most news about population that has been released in the media, this new view is about how the population of the world is actually declining. Although the world has hit 7 billion human inhabitants around march of 2012, the researcher states that we will face a declining world population in the near coming years, contrary to what other people might think. The world’s human inhabitants ...

In the last 200 years, there has been rapid world’s human population growth as a result of high fertility rate, drop in death rate, and unemployment (McCuen, 2013). The current increase in population is due to high fertility rate. The high rate of fertility may be partially elucidated by work force required to perform agricultural tasks. In addition, population increase has been attributed to drop in global death rate since the beginning of industrial revolution. Personal hygiene as well as improved sanitation has made great contribution to decrease in deaths. Moreover, unemployment results to poverty. Poor people spend more ...

Introduction

In 1960s, the Finnish men thought that it was normal for them to suffer from chest pain before reaching the age of fifty. The common answer to them when asked if they had already suffering from heart disease was “not yet” among those between thirty to forty years. The men in Finland had a very huge death rate in the world due to heart disease. Though they lean from logging and farming jobs, their favorite food was cheese, sausage, salt, whole milk, butter and cigarettes. They rarely ate any vegetables or fruits, among other greens because they dismissed it saying ...

The Nazis’ desire to purify the German nation turned out to be a tragedy for all non-Aryan people. The people considered “different” were penalized not only by concentrations camps but morally as well. All minorities that did not match Nazi criteria of “purity” were treated severely in concentration camps, however the distinctive place in the Nazis’ racial policy belonged to homosexuals. Homosexuality was a criminal offense in Germany as early as 1871, under section 175 of the Criminal Code of the German Empire so the system of Nazi persecution of homosexuals did not appear out of nowhere. And yet, before the ...

The high number of the injured fighters included top officers and commanders in the military, which intensified and prompted the need for new developments. ...

Comparison between invasive & non-invasive ventilation in managing flail chest

Abstract Background Invasive ventilation has been beneficial with the provision of the airway defense for patients with respiratory complications and blunt injury such as the flail chest. It increases the airway defense and consequently minimizes the risk of reparatory related infections. Furthermore, invasive ventilation has the ability to allot the flow of lower tidal volumes. On the other hand, non-invasive ventilations involve the use of a ventilator support without the invasive artificial airway. This type of ventilation has been in a wide use and it has become popular within the previous two decades. The flexibility nature of the method ...

‘Student Name’

‘Instructor’s Name’ Abstract Today, a rough estimate of global population is about 7 billion, which is 4 times greater than what it was in 1900. For thousands of year human population showed a very slow and measured increase in numbers and suddenly in the past millennia we are growing at a staggering rate. In fact in 1700 the global population was roughly 10 times lesser than the current population. So, why we should be alarmed? Well! The answer is that the resources of the earth are not sufficient to cater to the needs of such huge amount of people ...

Final Project: Statistics

Child mortality is dependent on many factors. For our analysis we will first have a look at the child mortality rates for nations across the world. We will then look at the two possible contributing factors to child mortality-1) GDP per capita of a nation and 2) health Expenditure per capita of a nation.

Hypothesis

Our assumption is that GDP per capita and Health Expenditure per capita of a nation is negatively co-related with Child Mortality rate. In simpler terms when the GDP of a country increases and the per capita health expenditure increases then child mortality rate of that country comes down.

Note: For our analysis we will use 2010 data for 165 countries. (Data source: GAPMINDER)

Food is at the center of our lives; it is the part of our culture, and how we socialize, discipline, and reward our children. However, with childhood obesity on the rise, food can be also recognized as a major problem for some children. With the excessive caloric intake and sedentary lifestyle, weight gain in our children is inevitable. Determining the cause of childhood obesity is essential, so that a preventative plan can be implemented, with an objective to decrease the incidence of childhood obesity; and help children lead a normal healthy life ahead, in the future. Many obesity researchers also believe that ...

Abstract

Malta is situated in the central Mediterranean region and is a southern European nation in the form of three islands. Though age-standardized mortality rates are published in reports by the WHO, there seems to be a limitation of epidemiological research in the area of alcoholic liver disease in the region of Malta, which we can very well categorize as an unmet medical need. There has been a slow increase in standardized mortality rate due to cirrhosis from 1998 to 2003, but it is still low as compared to other EU nations. Besides, Malta stood at a lower rank at #51 in mortality statistics ...

Abstract

Malta is situated in the central Mediterranean region. Mediterranean region is known to follow the Mediterranean diet; therefore, the incidence of heart diseases is low. Inspite of that, the rate of coronary artery disease (CAD) is very high in Malta. The latest WHO report shows 27.45% of all deaths in Malta due to CAD alone. Maltese have been following a sedentary lifestyle particularly due to lack of breathing space and urbanisation (dependency on motor vehicles and sitting in front of computers for long). Though standardized mortality rate is decreasing in Malta, it is higher than the rate of old EU ...

Funeral Customs & Services in China

Funerary customs in China tend to be quite intricate and tend to vary greatly from one region to another. According to Chinese traditions, it has been considered crucial to bury the dead ("Chinese funeral customs,"). The traditional ideas about burial were rejected by the Communists. Cremation became the rule in the large cities in China, while burial was only practiced in the countryside (Greg & Aidan, 1993:360). The Communists regard coffins as a waste of wood and graves as a waste of good farm land. Till today, burying the dead is discouraged by the Chinese government ("The impact of,"). There about 7.17 ...

Abstract

New advances in medical science and technology have decreased the global burden of disease. However, low-income countries lack the necessary resources to provide for the healthcare needs of all their people. E-health systems have the potential to help low-income countries tap into the richer healthcare resources of more affluent countries, by providing cost-effective tools that can link them to global data management banks, clinical decision support organizations, and care-at-a-distance programs. However, to be effective, these resources must be used with care. The first step in prioritizing healthcare resources is to estimate the burden of disease. High-income countries have reliable ...

Throughout history, slavery was always a brutal, violent and coercive system of forced labor, but plantation slavery in the Americas was the harshest version of all, particularly in the sugar-producing areas of Brazil and the West Indies. Over 90% of African slaves were sent to these areas and the death rate was so high that the African slave trade continued to supply them illegally into the 19th Century even though it had been officially abolished. Aristocratic elites of large landowners dominated all slave societies, which tended to be politically authoritarian in nature. Slavery was also a profitable and expanding institution at ...

The global burden of diabetes is high and the prevalence of diabetes is increasing. Diabetes is a major disease with significant side effects and complications resulting in shorter lifespans. The problem is greater with type 1 diabetes because this type of diabetes cannot be prevented and there is no cure for the disease. However, clinical studies have shown that education, adapting to the disease, and nutritional therapy can reduce the complications of type 1 diabetes. Parents are the most important members of the diabetes management team in pediatric patients and any impact on the quality of life of the parent ...

Introduction and Background

In the past 60 years, India has crossed major milestones in healthcare such as greater life expectancy, decrease in infant death rate, wiping out leprosy and eliminating small pox. Regardless of the progress, India’s healthcare demonstrates crude inequalities. At one end of the spectrum is the rise in medical tourism, pulling in more than 2 lac global patients in 2006. At the other end, curable diseases like diarrhoea and malnutrition, particularly of children below 3 years, are continually predominant. Likewise, in comparison to South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, vaccinations in India are still ...

The first step in prioritizing healthcare resources is to estimate the burden of disease. High-income countries have reliable systems to assess the causes of death in the population; however, mid- and low-income countries do not have such systems in place, and mortality rates from a specific disease have to be extrapolated from incomplete data. Several studies have approached the problem of estimating the burden of disease by using a variety of methods to determine which diseases are responsible for the most deaths, which countries are carrying the highest burden of disease and death, and which populations are at the highest risk ...

The field of mathematics has been home to many great minds – indeed, perhaps some of the greatest minds that the world has ever seen. Statistics is no exception to this. It is unfortunate, however, that due to deep-rooted cultural and socio-political biases, rarely have we seen a female mathematician, particularly before the beginning of the 20th century. This is a great tragedy, as, in other fields, women have made some of the greatest contributions imaginable. Consider where we would be now if it were not for Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Betsy Ross, Amelia Earhart, Marie Curie or Rosalind Franklin! One notable ...
