Abstract:

This thesis examines the interaction between economic disparities and the burden of neglected tropical diseases through a multi-layered study of international agreements, mostly the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS), the health structure in developing countries and the manner in which intellectual property rights relate to the right to health in poor countries. By shedding light to this interaction, it will be demonstrated that small attention and resources is attributed to neglected tropical diseases.

Abstract:

Chronic pulmonary diseases include a wide range of illnesses that differ in etiology, prevalence, symptomatology and available therapy. A common link among these illnesses is their impact on patients’ vital function of breathing, high symptom burden and significantly impaired quality of life. This dissertation research evaluates disease severity, symptom burden and health behaviors of patients with three different chronic pulmonary conditions. First, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is an inherited condition that typically is associated with an increased risk of early onset pulmonary emph

Background: SARDs (Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases) are a group of rare, chronic conditions (systemic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, Sjogren's disease, and poly/dermatomyositis) associated with high health resource consumption. However, estimates of their healthcare burden are sparse, with most determined at tertiary centres over short periods. Studying them separately has also limited research progress. Here we grouped the SARDs, for the first time ever, to quantify their collective, longitudinal (twelve-year) burden at the population-level. Methods: A popula

Abstract:

Background and objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) refers to a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function, the key outcomes of which are end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant, or premature death typically due to cardiovascular complications. CKD is identified either by evidence of kidney damage (especially proteinuria or albuminuria) or decreased kidney function, measured according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Prevention of CKD, and timely intervention where disease does occur, is an emerging public health priority. However, our under

In this framework, aggregate output is produced according to a human capital-augmented production function that accounts for the effects of projected disease prevalence. NCDs influence the economy through the following pathways: 1) when working-age individuals die of a disease, aggregate output undergoes a direct loss because physical capital can only partially substitute for the loss of human capital in the production process. 2) I

Abstract:

Background The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is rapidly increasing globally, and particularly in Africa, where the health focus, until recently, has been on infectious diseases. The response to this growing burden of NCDs in Africa has been affected owing to a poor understanding of the burden of NCDs, and the relative lack of data and low level of research on NCDs in the continent. Recent estimates on the burden of NCDs in Africa have been mostly derived from modelling based on data from other countries imputed into African countries, and not usually based on data originating from

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection currently stands as the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world. With an estimated lifetime probability of disease acquisition of 84.6% for females and 91.3% for males with at least one sexual partner, HPV is an aggressive and ubiquitous virus that affects people from all walks of life. The virus generally resolves on its own within 1 year, but successful disease progression leads to complications ranging from genital warts to anogenital cancers. Globally, there are 530,000 new cases of, and 274,000 deaths caused by, cervical cancer in females

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmental and occupational carcinogens that are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic material, such as from the burning of tobacco, coal, and petroleum products. In addition to causing cancer, exposure to PAHs is hypothesized to contribute to atherosclerosis and to lead to increased incidence rates of cardiovascular disease in populations. Considering the number of deaths attributable to tobacco smoke exposure, ambient air pollution, and occupational hazards, PAHs may be a significant contributor to the prevalence of cardiovascular

Abstract:

Personality characteristics of spousal and adult children and active potential caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's Disease were studied in order to better predict caregiver burden and aspects of well-being. Contrary to prediction, no differences were found between spouse and adult children active caregivers on measures of well-being. Additionally, adult children potential caregivers indicated feeling less control over their lives than spouse potential caregivers. When social desirability was controlled, active caregivers reported greater fluctuations in affect than did potential caregivers.

Abstract:

With an estimated 5.7 million deaths from stroke each year, stroke is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. However, there are significant disparities in the burden of chronic, non-communicable diseases such as stroke across the world. Whilst rates of stroke and cardiovascular disease have remained relatively stable or have been declining over the past 10 years in developed countries, recent demographic transitions and economic developments have resulted in developing countries witnessing an escalation in the rates of these diseases that now top lists of leading causes of deat
