Fall is sudden, unpredicted, unintentional occurrence resulting in-patient landing on ground or at lower level. Falls and fall related injuries incur cost for the patient as well as the health cares system. The fall has a significant impact in patient quality of life and usually fall has many reasons to happen. Thus, preventing falls among patients in healthcare settings requires a complex approach, and recognition, evaluation and prevention of patient falls are significant challenges. Falls are
Introduction Depression is a mood disorder affecting the way an individual feels, thinks, behaves and can affect social and occupational functioning (Canadian Medical Association CMA, 2013). Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), 2002 reports approximately 8% of Canadian adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives and that it is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was chosen for this critique to improve knowledge
Introduction Neurological procedures can lead to significant postoperative deficits. It is important for physicians to assess nervous system function intraoperatively so that any deficits can be corrected before they become permanent. The oldest method of assessing spinal cord function is with the Stagnara wake up test where patients are awoken in the middle of surgery in order to assess motor function(1). Once the neurological status of the patient is evaluated, the patient would be reanesthetized
study evaluated 190 traumatically injured patients from June 2014 to December 2015 in Southeast Virginia and Northeast North Carolina. Results For 190 trauma patients the Flight Crew POCUS examinations obtained a Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of 100% and a Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 98.3% for the identification of pneumothorax,
McMurray's test, locking and Giving Way were the independent factors for diagnosis that predicted a correct 80 percent in the meniscal tear diagnosis during arthroscopy. In regards to MRI, the combined values of the three tests (locking, Giving way and McMurray) were as follows: 88,90,90 for accuracy, 96, 97,97 for sensitivity, 74,76,74 for specificity, 87,88,88 for PPV and 90, 94,94 for NPV. The study determined that MRI shows a higher accuracy in comparison
possible antecedent controlling interpersonal styles and behaviors among coaches since they are positioned in highly influential leadership roles. Therefore, Matosic et al. conducted a study that sought to determine the potential of narcissism being predictive of coach interpersonal behaviors. In addition to this, the researchers included measures of dominance and empathic concern in their study to determine if such variables mediated the relationship between coaches’ interpersonal styles and
Lenina’s response reflects societal values, where departing from norms is met with anxiety and concern. Thus, this dialogue serves as a major example illustrating the struggle between individual autonomy and societal conformity in Brave New World. Towards the end of the novel, the Director
(Aranda-Gallardo, et al. 2013; Lalkhen & McCluskey, 2008). The only way to really determine the best risk assessment tool for a specific purpose and population is to test the tool or tools and calculate sensitivity, specificity, prevalence, and predictive values, so a decision can be made based upon current and relevant evidence, specific to the needs of the unit or organization. The purposes of this paper are to describe how to assess the validity of risk assessment tools using several easy-to-follow

Relationship between Personal Profile and Wellness Practices Table 12 shows on the next page, the relationship between personal profile and wellness practices of the secondary school teachers. It is seen in the table that age has significant negative correlation to emotional wellness and social wellness. This denotes that as a person grows older, he has lower emotional stability, and vice versa. This implies that as a person ages with time, he generates lower emotional stability. According to
After evalutating both the Black-Scholes Model and the Brownian Motion, we have come to know that the Black-Scholes Model is quite predictive as it gets close to the observed price. We found that with the Brownian motion it may take on negative values which results certain modelling prices to be frowned upon , hence making Black-Scholes Model more realistic. As we ventured in this study, we found that there is still more research to be done

For example, a brother or a sister who carry a gene alteration, like cancer, and one sibling has an increased potential for diagnosis, the other sibling will feel guilty for escaping the increased risk.

The CTQ-SF measures five types of negative childhood experiences: physical abuse (e.g., “I believe that I was physically abused”); emotional neglect (e.g. “People in my family called me ‘stupid, lazy, or ugly”); physical neglect (e.g., “I had to wear dirty clothes”); emotional neglect (e.g., “I felt that someone in my family hated me”); and sexual abuse (e.g., “Someone molested me”). Five items assess each the types of negative

Sociologist have taken an particular interest in this new phenomenon, because we are currently stuck in a split society; while many agree with the new wave of body modification, and have accepted its inevitability, the more conservative values can still be found. This has begun to leave many adults, whom acquire body modification, in a type of limbo, wondering: is this acceptable in society or am I now an “outsider”? On the other hand, the new generation sees body modification as a means
Jin, Drozdenko, and DeLoughy (2013) examined the organizational value clusters to determine that the corporate ideology affects the professional decisions and ethical choices (pp. 13-14). The authors used the data of national survey to analyze the organizational settings and mechanism of the corporate value system. The findings demonstrated that the accounting professionals possess the value judgment and ethical responsibility, but exercise the unethical behavior due to the demand and appreciation
Introduction Value added (VA) report is a statement of an entity wealth created and distributed in a financial year and intended to shift an organization away from the profit and loss account. It is simply an entity’s revenue for a given period less outside purchases or payment for supplier of services and materials. VA is a measures performance through the collective efforts of management, provider of capital and employees. According to Bao & Bao (1998, p252), VA statement shows “how the benefits
Adenoid hypertrophy is a significant cause of childhood morbidity. Enlarged adenoid leads to mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea, hyponasality, sinusitis, otitis media with effusion (OME), and abnormal facial development.(1) (Assement of middle ear) Nasopharyngeal obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy may directly obstruct the pharyngeal ostia of the auditory tube, 2 mechanical obstruction of the Eustachian tube may be an important factor to occuring OME. 3 However, recurrent or chronic infection
data to be able to properly determine if the 13ug/L cut off point found by Sutton-Riley et al. (2006) is viable. Studies would have to take many factors into account including age, race, overall health, and so on, to properly determine what normal values are. Detecting hyperglycosylated human chorionic gonadotropin is changing the way we now look at pregnancies and pregnancy loss. With further research, its full applications in pregnancy outcome and detection are becoming closer to being realized
An important question to address when attempting to identify effective study strategies and their relationship with academic performance is, “What are study skills?” The term “study skills” can be defined as proficiency in identifying, organizing, memorizing, and using information in order to succeed academically (Proctor, Prevatt, Adams, Hurst, & Petscher, 2006). Activities identified as study skills include “time management, setting appropriate goals, selecting an appropriate study environment
