AbstractAll deaths occurring in the in-patient population of the Central Mental Hospital during the period 1963 to 1987 inclusive were examined. The death rate during the total period was 11.7 per 1,000 admissions. The suicide rate during the total period was 3.9 per 1,000 admissions – there had been no suicides during the most recent five year period. Although the admission rate has been rising since the mid-1970s, the death rate over the last fifteen years has remained stable.Many of the deaths prior to 1970 were in elderly long stay patients who died from natural causes.

AbstractA study published in the Society of Actuaries’ 2017 Living to 100 Monograph suggests, in contrast to previous research, that the risk of death after age 110 years increases with age. By fitting a Gompertz model to estimated central death rates for the oldest old, the authors challenge existing theory and empirical research indicating a deceleration of mortality at older ages and the emergence of a plateau. We argue that their results are inconclusive for three reasons: (1) the data selection was arbitrary; (2) the statistical analysis was inappropriate; and (3) the presentation of the results is misleading and inadequate. We therefore claim that the hypothesis that the human force of mortality increases after age 110 has not been proved.

Abstract:
Prematurity continues to be a major public health problem and, despite advances in antenatal care, prematurity rates continue to rise in the United States. Preterm and low-birth-weight (LBW) rates increased in 2006 to 12.8% and 8.3%, respectively. The very low birth weight (VLBW) (&lt;1500 g) rate rose to 1.46% (62,283 of 4,265,996 births in 2006). In addition, the birth rate for women aged 40–44 years rose 3% to 9.4 per 1,000 between 2005 and 2006 (Martin et al. 2008). A component of the increase in the preterm birth rate remains attributed to older maternal childbearing, multiple births, and increasing rates of assisted reproductive technology (Heck et al. 1997). The increase in the number of multiple births is a concern because of the associated increased risk of death, preterm birth, low birth weight, and long-term adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Major therapeutic advances in perinatal and neonatal care in the past 20 years, including surfactant therapy, antenatal steroids for both pulmonary maturation and central nervous system protection, improved ventilation techniques, and parenteral nutritional support have resulted in a significant improvement in survival of extremely low-birth-weight infants (ELBW) (&lt;1000 g) (National Institutes of Health [NIH] 1995; El-Metwally, Vohr, and Tucker 2000; Fanaroff, Hack, and Walsh 2003; Fanaroff et al. 2007; Hintz et al. 2005a; Hintz et al. 2005b). These infants have increased complex neonatal medical morbidities affecting all organ systems including lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and brain, and increased growth, neurological, developmental, and behavioral morbidities both in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and after discharge (Blakely et al. 2005; Ehrenkranz, 2000; Ehrenkranz et al. 2005; Laptook et al. 2005; Shankaran et al. 2004; Schmidt et al. 2003; Vohr et al. 2003; Vohr et al. 2004;Vohr et al. 2005; Walsh et al. 2005). Predicting the survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants becomes a challenge since outcomes are dependent on a combination of biologic factors including gender, gestational age, birth weight, singleton versus multiple, neonatal morbidities, neonatal interventions, and post-discharge environment.

Full text
Abstract:
Although a rare presentation of the exaggerated manifestations of thyrotoxicosis, thyrotoxic storm is arguably the most serious complication of hyperthyroidism because of its high mortality rate. An accurate estimation of its incidence is impossible to determine because of considerable variability in the criteria for its diagnosis. The syndrome does appear to be significantly less common today than in the past, perhaps because of earlier diagnosis and treatment of thyrotoxicosis, thereby precluding its progression to the stage of crisis. Nevertheless, the syndrome may occur in 1–2% of hospital admissions for thyrotoxicosis. In such patients, it is not usually possible to distinguish those with thyrotoxic storm from those with uncomplicated thyrotoxicosis simply on the basis of routine function tests. Rather, the clinical diagnosis is based on the identification of signs and symptoms which are seen typically in thyrotoxic storm and which suggest decompensation of a number of organ systems. Some of these typical or cardinal manifestations include fever (temperature usually above 38.5°C), tachycardia out of proportion to the fever, central nervous system signs varying from confusion to apathy and even coma, and gastrointestinal dysfunction, which can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and, in severe cases, jaundice. A semiquantitative scale (Table 3.3.3.1) has been developed to aid in diagnosis (1). The earliest possible diagnosis and subsequent implementation of treatment are required to avoid a fatal outcome. Even with early diagnosis, death can occur, and reported mortality rates have ranged from 10% to 75% in hospitalized patients (1–3).

Full text
Abstract:
In addition to lifestyle interventions, treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea focus on maintaining upper airway patency. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is recommended as first-line therapy. Beneficial cardiovascular effects of CPAP include increased intrathoracic pressure, reduced left ventricular preload and afterload, and reduced transmural cardiac pressure gradients. CPAP also reduces nocturnal ischaemia and blood pressure, and decreases the risk of post-treatment atrial fibrillation recurrence. However, secondary prevention with CPAP did not significantly reduce the rate of major cardio- and cerebrovascular events in the SAVE study. Mandibular advancement devices, surgery, and upper airway stimulation are options for patients unwilling to use or tolerate CPAP. Central sleep apnoea and Cheyne–Stokes respiration are common in patients with heart disease, especially heart failure. Adaptive servo-ventilation is the most effective therapy for alleviating central sleep apnoea with Cheyne–Stokes respiration. However, it is now contraindicated in heart failure patients with an ejection fraction of 45% or lower and predominant central sleep apnoea because of an increased risk of cardiovascular death, based on SERVE-HF study results. However, adaptive servo-ventilation may still have a role in other settings, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Phrenic nerve stimulation is a new treatment modality that has shown promising results in a feasibility study. Hypoventilation is another breathing disorder that needs effective management. Data in cardiovascular disease are lacking, but CPAP and non-invasive ventilation have been shown to be effective in patients with obesity hypoventilation syndrome. Furthermore, effective reduction of chronic hypercapnia during home non-invasive ventilation treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has been shown to significantly improve survival.

Abstract:
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) accounts for 30% of all deaths in men and 25% of all deaths in women in England and Wales. IHD also remains the commonest cause of death in many industrialized countries. The current global impact of IHD is one of marked contrasts. Many countries with previously high rates of IHD, including the United Kingdom, United States, and Finland, are experiencing declines whereas the rates of IHD are rising in many countries such as central and eastern Europe where the rates were previously ‘low’. The annual incidence of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) has been estimated at approximately three per 1000 populations. Hospital mortality is greater than in those patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (7% vs. 5%), although at 6 months, the mortality rates become similar.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Jewish merchants and craftsmen in late medieval Italy. Jewish carters and pack-saddle makers hired out their goods and conveyances for a daily or weekly rate. These carters from the city of Spoleto would often come upon Jewish cloth and saffron merchants from the Umbrian Apennines and the Marches. In Perugia, from 1383, Jews were enrolled in the guild of the cotton-waste and rag sellers, and had close relations with the wool guild, which they partly financed. Moreover, in the villages and larger Umbrian trading centres, Jewish cloth merchants had workrooms and shops where they received their town and country clientèle. Other merchants, too, travelled the roads of Umbria. These were the corn merchants, some of which were Jews. The chapter then considers the Italian leather trade, looking at the rise in the export of hides and leather by Jewish merchants from 1570 until the end of the century.

Therefore, based on an analysis of the causes of death, this chapter describes the most important complications and their management: right heart failure, arrhythmias, haemoptysis, pericardial effusion, pulmonary arterial dilation with as a consequence left main coronary artery compression, and pulmonary artery dissection, as well as treatment-related adverse events.

Abstract:
It is Commonly Claimed that American society is crime-ridden and violent. Horrendous numbers of murders are committed, almost twice the per capita rate in 2004–05 of the nearest competitors, Switzerland, Finland, and Sweden (figure 67). The death-by-assault rates in America are over three times the nearest European comparisons, Finland, followed by Portugal. That is without question. Such mayhem cannot be due simply to gun ownership, since by some accounts the Finns and the Swiss have a higher percentage of armed households than the Americans (figure 68). Firearms ownership, though highest in the United States per capita if measured by individual citizen, is not as far beyond the European numbers as one might expect from the horror stories of South Central or the South Bronx. According to the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Americans own 97 firearms per hundred people, the Finns 69, the Swiss 61, the Swedes 40. Another survey, published by Tilburg University in the Netherlands, the Dutch Ministry of Justice, and two United Nations Institutes, reveals that percentage-wise there are more firearms in the hands of the residents of Zurich, Vienna, Stockholm, Rome, Reykjavik, Oslo, Madrid, Lisbon, Helsinki, and Athens than in those of New Yorkers. Indeed, the burghers of Helsinki, Berlin, Lisbon, Rome, Vienna, and Zurich own proportionately as many or more handguns as New Yorkers. To the extent that gun ownership and hunting overlap, the distinctions between the United States and Europe also fade. Svenska Jägarförbundet, the Swedish Hunters Association, has a membership (200,000) that is proportionately almost twice as high as what the National Rifl e Association claims (4 million). The Schweizer Schiesssportverband (Swiss Shooting Association) has a membership (85,000) that is relatively as high as the NRA’s. Its arguments against current proposals to regulate gun ownership in Switzerland more strictly sound many of the same themes that are heard in the United States, down to the slogan about people, not guns, doing the actual killing. The smaller Pro-Tell Society defends gun ownership as part of Switzerland’s liberal tradition. In Switzerland, of course, men oft en keep their military weapons at home.

Abstract:
The central prerogative of rape fiction of the 1980s is to underscore the legitimacy of the traumatic experience by providing in-depth accounts of the assault and its physical and psychological repercussions. The 1980s rape novels contain harrowing rape scenes that use their detail to emphasize the fact that rape engenders deep psychological consequences. Far from glamorizing sexual violence, these novels present an alternative narrative focus that educates the uninformed reader and provides affirmation to those survivors seeking an empathetic community. That these texts bridge ethnic literary traditions testifies to the vital importance of rape fiction as a genre: to create a literary memorial to all victims of sexual assault.

Abstract:
Although rates of premature death from coronary heart disease (CHD) have fallen 80% over the past 40 years, it is still a significant cause of premature death in the UK. Angina is the most common symptom of CHD. It is usually described as a central, retrosternal pain or ache that is crushing or choking in nature. Pain may radiate down the left arm and/or up into the neck and is often accompanied by shortness of breath (SOB) and sweating. Some patients may describe it as chest discomfort. The presentation of CHD, however, covers a broad spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms that vary in severity. An individual may be asymptomatic despite disease within the coronary arteries; may present with gradually worsening symptoms of angina; or the first presentation may be death following an acute myocardial infarction (MI). This chapter outlines the pathophysiology and clinical management of stable angina.

Abstract Understanding the physics of generation, propagation, and dissipation of inertial currents is important from a variety of aspects. For the Gulf of Mexico, one such aspect is that these oscillations represent an uncertainty in the measurements and forecasting of the longer-period currents, such as those due to the Loop Current (LC) and meso-scale eddies. The Industry has a practice of applying an ‘uplift’ to estimates of current velocity to account for the effect of tidal and inertial currents in cases when observations or model estimates do not resolve the high-frequency current varia

In colder climates hot air vents are often mounted below a cold window to improve thermal comfort of the occupants. The presence of the vent alters the rate of convective heat transfer to the window and changes the air-flow pattern near the window and this has here been numerically studied. The situation considered in this study is an approximate model of most real situations. The window is represented by a plane isothermal section recessed into the wall, this window section being colder than the room air far from the window.

The exponential increase in computation and memory complexity with the depth of network has become the main impediment to the successful application of graph neural networks (GNNs) on large-scale graphs like graphs with hundreds of millions of nodes. In this paper, we propose a novel neighbor sampling strategy, dubbed blocking-based neighbor sampling (BNS), for efficient training of GNNs on large-scale graphs. Specifically, BNS adopts a policy to stochastically block the ongoing expansion of neighboring nodes, which can reduce the rate of the exponential increase in computation and memory comp
