Abstract:
One of the goals to be achieved by 2030 of the Global Health Sector Strategy on Viral Hepatitis 2016-2021 is to reduce mortality from hepatitis viruses B (HBV) and C (HCV). To measure and monitor it, countries need to implement a systematic process to generate national estimates of mortality from viral hepatitis, which many lack. This document is aimed at the institutions and/or ministries in charge of monitoring progress in each country. The main objective of this protocol is to present simple methods to estimate the proportion of patients with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma who have

The inclusion of marital, family, and family business issues introduces inherent complications to efforts at planning.

Epilepsy affects approximately 65 million people worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and mortality including injuries, psychiatric comorbidities, social stress, and the risk of sudden death.

Abstract:
The elderly population continues to grow. As surgical intervention in disease processes becomes more aggressive, the anaesthetist is faced with an increasing number of elderly patients. Elderly patients should be approached with a clear understanding of ageing, how it occurs, how it affects specific organ systems, and how it may influence clinical care, when a patient is subjected to an operation. The ageing process is a multifactorial process, resulting in a decreased capacity for adaptation and producing a gradual decrease in functional reserve of many organ systems. This has significant eff

Abstract:
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) affects approximately 1 in 2,500 live births and results from an embryologic defect in diaphragm formation allowing abdominal contents to enter the fetal pleural cavity. Prognosis and treatment options vary depending on the extent and location of the diaphragmatic hernia, but CDH remains a significant cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Anesthesia for neonatal repair of CDH can be involved, as patients often have many organ systems affected by their disease process.

Abstract:
Advance care planning is a complex process whereby an individual reflects on future care options at the end of life after reflecting on his or her values and goals for care. These values, goals, and preferences are then communicated to key stakeholders in the process (i.e., proxy and surrogate decision-makers, family members, and health care providers). It is unclear how well the completion of advance directives and a written outcome of advance care planning affect desired patient outcomes.

Abstract:
Calcium is vitally important for normal cellular signalling and function. However, its toxicity necessitates that intracellular calcium concentration [Ca2+] be tightly regulated and compartmentalized. Evolutionary pressures have yielded several regulatory mechanisms to maintain intracellular and extracellular ionized calcium concentrations compatible with life. During periods of critical illness these process are commonly overwhelmed, and disorders of calcium homeostasis are highly prevalent among intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Indeed, hypocalcaemia occurs in up to 88% of critically-ill I

Abstract:
Delirium in the postoperative period, characterized by inattention, disorganized thinking, disorientation, and/or altered levels of consciousness within the first few days after surgery, has been associated with significant increases in hospital stay, functional decline, prolonged cognitive dysfunction, and mortality. It is underdiagnosed without routine assessments with validated tools such as the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), the 4AT, the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU), or the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist (ICDSC).
