Abstract:

Background Public health interventions need to both improve health and reduce health inequalities, whilst using limited health care resources efficiently. Well-established ethnic differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) raise the possibility that CVD prevention policies may not work equally well across ethnic groups. The aim of this thesis was to explore whether there are ethnic differences in the potential impact of two CVD prevention policy choices – the choice between mass and targeted screening for high cardiovascular risk, including the use of area deprivation measures to target screen

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three chapters dealing with different aspects of Parkinson's disease (PD). 3-Acetylpyridine (3-AP), a naturally occurring neurotoxin, was studied for its neurodegenerative properties on the mesostriatal dopaminergic system in rats as a possible environmental cause of idiopathic PD. Chronic administration of this compound to rats caused a moderate but insignificant reduction of striatal dopamine (determined by HPLC measurement of striatal dopamine) and a more substantial degeneration of cerebellar neurons and their neurotransmitters (determined by amino acid analysis of

The first Chapter in this thesis aims to present an adequate background information on the previous work. Short of introducing routine antepartum prophylaxis programme, the only avenues open to impact on the incidence of RhD alloimmunisation, were efforts to fine-tune the operation of the existing postpartum prophylaxis programme. This included improvement of the accuracy of measuring the volume of transplacental bleeds, in order to ensure that sufficient dose of anti-D is administered to afford protection against sensitisation.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and aspirin is a well-known medication strongly associated with CVD prevention. Aspirin has undeniable benefits in the role of secondary prevention of CVD, however, the benefits are ambiguous when associated with primary prevention. The decision to start aspirin for primary prevention becomes complicated due to aspirin?s effect on coagulation and the risk of gastric ulceration. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has level B recommendations in place regarding the use of low-dose

This research has applied a Life Skills Program to the health area of HIV/AIDS. The study included both qualitative and quantitative analyses especially designed to establish a strategy to prevent and control HIV/AIDS infection in Thailand. A pseudo-experimental research design was used with pre-test/post-test questionnaires and interviews. The lack of HIV/AIDS knowledge among Thai people and unsafe sexual behaviours place them at risk of acquiring HIV and AIDS. Thus, there is a need to construct a strategy to prevent and reduce the high risk behaviours associated with this infection. The stud

Abstract:

This dissertation aims at analyzing complex problems arising in the context of dynamical networks, proteomics, and disease prevention. First, a new graph-based method for proving global stability of synchronization in directed dynamical networks is developed. This method utilizes stability and graph theories to clarify the interplay between individual oscillator dynamics and network topology. Secondly, a graph-theoretical algorithm is proposed to predict Ca2+-binding site in proteins. The new algorithm enables us to identify previously-unknown Ca2+-binding sites, and deepens our understanding

Background Patients who experience a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) are at high risk of recurrent stroke, but little is known about temporal trends in unselected populations.

In addition, socioeconomic factors have been associated with poor health outcomes in a variety of contexts. Therefore, it is important to assess the implementation and results of secondary prevention in different socioeconomic groups. Aims The

Chronic and noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases are a major health problem in Australia and worldwide. Four risk factors contribute to two thirds of the global risk for chronic disease: tobacco use; alcohol use; unhealthy dietary patterns and practices; and physical inactivity. Other risk factors such as obesity (high body mass) also increases risk of chronic disease. Addressing these risk factors is an important strategy to reduce and prevent chronic disease in populations. However, effective prevention of chronic disease is challenging as it requires
