Abstract:
This thesis offers a review of the historical development of telemedicine services in remote health care. It addresses the professional concerns in practising medicine in isolated conditions, and the advances in telecommunications technology since the telephone was invented. It also examines the application of telemedicine in remote environments across the world, such as in indigenous communities, remote industrial work sites and at scientific bases in Antarctica. At its most exotic, a review is offered of the health care for space crews. The literature review highlights a number of concerns a

Substantial amount of research in home-use health monitoring techniques has emerged given growing global health awareness and ageing population in recent decades.

In this system vital signs are gathered from patients and sent to a control unit for centralized monitoring. The RPM system can complement the role of nurses in monitoring patients’ vital signs.

Aim: As a priority for Aboriginal women, in the context of worsening Aboriginal health and lack of clarity about successful strategies to address healthcare needs, this research explored successful strategies in remote Aboriginal women’s health that may be transferable to another community with similar health needs. Methodology: Against a background of cultural and historical events, the study sought to identify existing strategies and frameworks for Aboriginal women’s health. It uses Naturalistic Inquiry situated within the Interpretive paradigm and conceptualised within the philosophica

Abstract:
Myocardial infarction is the main cause of death in the United Kingdom. Early reperfusion of coronary artery occlusion has greatly improved mortality, though restoration of blood supply may perpetuate cell death through reperfusion injury. Preconditioning is a potent endogenous form of cardioprotection triggered through preceding brief nonperfusion of the heart’s blood supply. In remote conditioning it is triggered by intermittent tourniquet ischaemia of a limb. However a limited understanding of the mechanisms underlying transfer of a signal from the peripheries, its reception in the heart, a

Background to the study: The long term maintenance of lymphoedema depends on a daily regime of these physical therapies, which lend themselves to self-management by those with the condition (Lymphoedema Framework, 2006). It has been widely recognised in the literature for many years, e.g. Rose et al (1991) to Fu (2010), that achieving a reduction in volume of the lymphoedema and ensuring the ongoing maintenance of the condition is dependent upon knowledgeable healthcare professionals and patients, who are aware of the importance of self care and self management in the long term maintenance of

Abstract:
In 2008, the election of President Barack Obama brought health care to the forefront of national discussions and led to the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The legislation changed the rules of health care delivery in the United States, but the ACA did not do one fundamental thing: It did not end the need for many of the nation's most needy patients to seek free medical care from groups such as Remote Area Medical (RAM). A mobile clinic, RAM brings together volunteer dentists, physicians, nurses, and other professionals as well as support staff for multi-day cli

<p> Health effects attributed to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM<sub> 2.5</sub>) rank it among the risk factors with the highest health burdens in the world, annually accounting for over 3.2 million premature deaths and over 76 million lost disability-adjusted life years. Existing PM<sub>2.5</sub> monitoring infrastructure cannot, however, be used to resolve variations in ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations with adequate spatial and temporal density, or with adequate coverage of human time-activity patterns, such that the needs of modern exposure science and control can be met.
