Abstract:
Abstract In order to answer questions posed by their clients, evaluating physicians must understand the context of a case or jurisdiction, in part because medical and legal perspectives may differ when an evaluator assesses issues such as causation and apportionment. A condition is not necessarily a ratable impairment, nor do symptomatic conditions necessarily prevent an individual from working. Attorneys may pose very specific apportionment questions based on laws unique to a given jurisdiction; for example, a patient may have an occupational injury or illness that results in impairment, but

Introduction: Primary care practitioners and travel medicine physicians are primarily responsible for identifying individuals who may be unfit for overseas travel and consulting with them pre-travel. Pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory conditions and diabetes mellitus (DM) have the potential to complicate travel journeys. A considerable percentage of travel-associated illness may be due to the decompensation of a pre-existing medical condition.

Abstract Introduction When presented with a choice between sure gains or losses versus gambles, people tend to select sure gains over gambles, but gambles over sure losses. This pre-existing framing bias is embedded in the Framed Gambling Task (FGT), in which subjects choose between a sure option (gain or loss) and a gamble (card from one of two decks). For optimal performance, subjects need to recognize that one deck (‘good deck’) results in better average outcomes than the other deck (‘bad deck’) and select the gamble or sure option depending on the deck (good/bad) rather than the frame (sur

Drowning is a leading cause of death and long-term disability in Australia with an increasing trend over the last decade, despite multiple preventative initiatives by leading industry organisations and Government agencies. Industry reports have identified various reasons for drowning which includes pre-existing medical conditions as a rising trend, particularly in the 65+ age bracket. The aim of this study was threefold: (a) to identify the types of pre-existing medical conditions (PEMCs) associated with the risk of drowning in public aquatic facilities; (b) to investigate the risk management

Abstract:
Continuing from the periods of pre-antique, antique, medieval and modern urban culture, this research paper presents the existing urbanism of a portion of Istrian inland settlements and towns. It is assumed that even in pre-antique times, Istria had settlements that could meet basic urban principles in terms of their form, scope and function. Similarly, this also applied to their later development due to the changing economic and social needs of their inhabitants, all within specific formed heterogeneous communities. Towns like Grožnjan, Motovun, Oprtalj, Bale, Pazin, Žminj, etc., emerged as e

Abstract:
Surgical removal of meniscal tissue alters the kinematics and load distribution of the knee and decreases the contact area causing greater magnitude of compressive stress and shear stress. These changes may result in damage to the knee cartilage and lead to subsequent osteoarthritis (OA) (1). Allen et al. (2) found a significant increase in knee OA after meniscectomy with pre-existing abnormal frontal plane tibiofemoral alignment. Tibiofemoral alignment affects the varus/valgus moment during ambulation and during single-leg stance, Fig. 1A. The varus moment, or adduction moment, is the primary

Abstract:
We describe the completeness of prenatal data in maternal delivery records and the prevalence of selected medical conditions and complications among patients delivering at community hospitals around Atlanta, Georgia. Medical charts for 199 maternal-infant dyads (99 infants in normal newborn nurseries and 104 infants in newborn intensive care nurseries) were identified by medical records staff at 9 hospitals and abstracted on site. Ninety-eight percent of hospital charts included prenatal records, but over 20 percent were missing results for common laboratory tests and prenatal procedures. Fort
