Abstract:
According to the Compression of Morbidity (CM) hypothesis, people who exercise, eat nutritiously, do not smoke, and maintain good weight, i.e., people who practice healthy habits, will be more likely to live free of disabling diseases and injuries up until the last few months or years of life. The Increasing Misery (IM) hypothesis, on the other hand, holds that preventive health measures will extend life expectancy but will also increase the number of infirm years. The CM theory implies that curves of morbidity or disability with age should become increasingly “rectangular” for groups who prac

The ageing population has been increasing the healthcare expenditure of Hong Kong and will continue to increase the financial burden. James Fries proposed a phenomenon of compression of morbidity in the early 1980s that the onset of morbidity of elderly can be delayed to a later year and the duration of disability can be compressed. If it works, it could be a solution to ease the burden caused by the ageing population.

This thesis examines health inequalities by area-level socioeconomic deprivation, and health in later life in New Zealand. It identifies whether expansion or compression of morbidity is occurring at the end of life. It asks if overall morbidity at a population level is likely to increase or decrease in future as life expectancy increases, and if the same trend is seen for more and less deprived areas. The focus of this research is the identification and dissemination of mortality and morbidity patterns present in two large datasets, using powerful but relatively simple techniques. Large admini

Abstract:
Population ageing and the tendency for older adults to have poorer health status than younger adults have raised concerns about potential increases in the number of elderly suffering disease and disability. Significantly, many health problems experienced in later life are associated with the onset of a more sedentary lifestyle. Increasing older adults' participation in leisure time physical activity (henceforth LTPA) offers an opportunity to reduce the prevalence of preventable morbidity in later life and offset a potential burden of ageing on the public health sector.

Systemic cancers produce substantial neurological morbidity when they spread to the spinal epidural space, producing epidural spinal cord compression—a neurological emergency. Less often, metastases spread directly to spinal cord parenchyma to manifest as intramedullary spinal cord metastasis or result in peripheral nerve dysfunction via compression of the brachial, lumbosacral, or, rarely, the cervical plexus.

Abstract:
A spinal epidural abscess is an infection that resides in the epidural space of the spinal canal, and most commonly occurs from hematogenous seeding or direct extension from adjacent structures. Normal skin flora such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp are the most common organisms to cause an epidural abscess, typically when host immunity is compromised or due to barrier disruption. The clinical presentation is heterogeneous, but often will progress over time to spinal cord compression. Intracranial epidural abscess and subdural empyema occur within the skull and are frequently spread vi

The role of family and community in integrative preventive medicine (IPM) is to leverage primary care as the chief means for disseminating and implementing a new integrative model of prevention. Thus IPM provides a shift from acute to chronic disease treatment and prevention with the goal of morbidity compression to extend the period of disease-free high-quality life. This shift results in a new focus for family and community medicine. Integrative preventive medicine realigns primary care with primary prevention, from reactive “sick” acute care to proactive preventive “health” care. It recreat

Abstract:
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Prophylaxis and management of VTE in pregnancy can impact mortality and morbidity. The overall reported incidence of gestational VTE ranges from 0.5 to 2.2 per 1000 maternities with a relative 5–10-fold increase in risk during pregnancy, increasing to a daily risk of 15–35-fold in the puerperium, compared with non-pregnant women of similar age. Risk factors inform the use of thromboprophylaxis usually with low-molecular-weight heparin, which has a better safety profile than unfractionated heparin. VTE can occur at any time in pregnancy, but over 50% of events occur prior to 20 weeks’ gestation. As clinical diagnosis is unreliable, objective assessment is required when there is clinical suspicion of an event. Less than 10% of clinically suspected cases of VTE are confirmed on objective testing. Compression duplex ultrasonography is the first-line investigation for suspected gestational deep venous thrombosis and thoracic imaging with ventilation–perfusion scanning is required for suspected pulmonary embolism. Low-molecular-weight heparin is usually the first choice treatment for gestational VTE based on safety and efficacy.

Spinal decompression and fusion is one of the most common surgical procedures for treatment of spinal stenosis.

Bone has a remarkable ability to regenerate and heal itself when damaged. Most minor injuries heal naturally over time, but when the defects are larger, they require a substrate to support the cell growth and guide the repair process. Bone grafting is currently done by using either an autograft, where the substrate is harvested from a suitable donor site within the patient’s body; or an allograft, where the substrate is harvested from a cadaver. However, both techniques have significant drawbacks. In autografting, significant complications tend to arise from donor site morbidity. In allografti
