Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures represent an enormous health burden and economic cost for most societies in the world, and future projections forecast their steady increase over the next few decades. Strategies to detect and treat those individuals with high risk of fracture have proved to be cost-effective, but still an important lack of awareness exists among health professionals and institutions. Low bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the factors better correlated with fracture risk. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 estimated the worldwide health burden of 291

Abstract:

Relief of the global malaria burden relies on the management and application of effective therapies. Unfortunately, the continuous development of resistance to therapies by the deadliest parasite strain, Plasmodium falciparum, has made the treatment and control of malaria much more difficult. Derivatives of the Chinese peroxidic antimalarial drug artemisinin primarily used in first-line combination therapy for treatment of P. falciparum malaria have proved to be highly effective. However, their use also is now compromised by the development of resistance by the parasite to the artemisinin deri

Pneumonia is one of the top causes of deaths in children younger than 5 years of age.

Pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (also called pneumococcus) is a vaccine preventable disease, accounting for 39% of community-acquired pneumonia. There are two types of pneumococcal vaccines that are pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV). The latter one is routinely

Abstract:

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

Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China.

The robust spatial and temporal regression models were used to assess the short- and long-term relationships between PM2.5 and lung cancer mortality.

This project investigated temporal trends in per-fluoroalkyl acid concentrations in Australian children between 2002 and 2017.

Between 2002 and 2017, there was a significant decrease in perfluoroalkyl acid concentrations within Australia's child population, but there was no correlation between this and burden of disease in the same age group.

This thesis contributes to the literature on duties of global justice by critically examining the Rawlsian internationalist account of duties of development assistance. Internationalists argue that two distinct spheres of justice exist: The domestic sphere, where demanding, often egalitarian duties, are owed between citizens, and the global sphere where much less demanding duties are owed to non-citizens. Among those, however, is an obligation to help the world’s poorest countries, called burdened societies, develop. This thesis argues that even if we accept the internationalist framework as a
