Abstract:

Stroke is the single largest cause of disability and second highest cause of death globally. It is estimated that 10 million people a year are affected by stroke in the United Kingdom (UK). Of the 130,000 annual new stroke occurrences in the UK, one third will go on to have a further stroke. Recurrent stroke is more likely to be fatal than first stroke and survivors are more likely to be left with major disability. Many stroke patients do not adhere to secondary prevention strategies due to complex reasons, including lack of appreciation of their high risk of a secondary cardiovascular event.

Abstract:

Osteoporosis is a serious health problem worldwide and most commonly affects postmenopausal women (World Health Organization, 1994). Of the variety of complications associated with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women, osteoporotic fracture is the most prevalent and serious one. It affects their quality of life and puts heavy burden on the healthcare system in Hong Kong. Since osteoporosis exercise program can help to reduce bone loss, it seems to be an effective strategy to prevent and manage osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

The socio-economic and political inequities stemming from colonialism have adversely affected the health of Canadian Aboriginal people. In particular, type 2 diabetes affects these populations in disproportionately high rates. As a result, there have been calls for policy-makers, program designers and practitioners to create culturally appropriate health education programming. However, few programs have been successful. It has been argued that this is because traditional approaches to diabetes education programming do not address the unique history and lived experiences of Aboriginal peopl

Abstract:

Osteoporosis is a growing cause of morbidity and mortality in aging populations worldwide, especially in postmenopausal women. Bisphosphonates are widely prescribed for fracture prevention in osteoporosis. Meta-analyses have been performed for alendronate, risedronate, and etidronate, examining their effectiveness versus placebo in fracture prevention. Total withdrawals and adverse event withdrawals were examined as safety outcomes. Systematic reviews were performed for two other bisphosphonates, ibandronate and zoledronic acid and the results combined with previously obtained data for the oth

Abstract:

In the United States, about 8.5 million women live with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a debilitating systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and reduced bone mineral density that occurs with the loss of estrogen. The mortality rate for this group is about 3 to 4 times higher than other women and as many as 1 in 3 experience a fracture. Guided by the Health Belief Model, this project evaluated how a bone health fact sheet impacts knowledge about osteoporosis and self-efficacy for preventative behavioral change in premenopausal women (age 40-58 years).

Post Intensive Care Syndrome-Family (PICS-F) refers to acute and chronic psychological effects of critical illness on family members of patients in intensive care units (ICU).
