Several recent studies have shown that the racial disparities in U.S. mortality nearly disappear prisons. We review social determinants of epidemic incarceration, especially war on drugs, and describe inmate morbidity within context health disparities. Incarceration provides an important public opportunity to address by accessing a high-need, medically-underserved, largely non-White population, but it has also been associated with poor long-term outcomes. Viewing incarceration community life...
Primary systemic therapy (PST) for operable breast cancer enables the identification of in vivo biological markers that predict response to treatment. A total 118 patients with T2-4 N0-1 M0 primary received six cycles anthracycline-based PST. Clinical and radiological was assessed before after treatment using UICC criteria. grading system score pathological devised. Diagnostic biopsies postchemotherapy surgical specimens were stained oestrogen (ER) progesterone (PgR) receptor, HER-2 cell...
Background: Approximately 1 in 4 of the nearly 2 million individuals state and federal correctional facilities are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Currently, there few reports treatment outcomes this common infection setting. Objective: To describe HCV therapy incarcerated Design: Retrospective, descriptive observational study. Setting: Rhode Island Department Corrections, Cranston, Island. Patients: 93 inmates chronic infection. Intervention: Interferon- ribavirin. Measurements: RNA...
From a public health standpoint, the high concentration of patients in correctional institutions with hepatitis C — now curable contagious disease presents critical opportunity to curtail this epidemic.
The opioid overdose crisis in the United States has given rise to innovative solutions address behavioural health problems communities. These complex initiatives vary greatly, making it difficult understand what makes them successful and where their gaps needs are, which impairs ability know how best apply resources. This article examines Cordata’s Operation Save Lives (O2SL) Quick Response Team (QRT) National’s use of Project Management Maturity Model (Maturity Model) create an instrument,...
To report our experience with pegylated interferon and ribavirin treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA-positive inmates at the Rhode Island Department Corrections.
Post-operative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) is a common surgical complication consistently associated with subsequent morbidity and mortality. Prior dysfunction major risk factor for PO-AKI, however it unclear whether serum creatinine, the conventional function marker, optimal in this population. Serum cystatin C marker less affected by body composition might provide better prognostic information patients. This was pre-defined, secondary analysis of multi-centre prospective cohort study...
Purpose Worldwide efforts to identify individuals infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) focus almost exclusively on community healthcare systems, thereby failing reach high-risk populations and those poor access primary care. In USA, community-based HCV testing policies guidelines overlook correctional facilities, where rates are believed be as high 40 percent. This is a missed opportunity: more than ten million Americans move through facilities each year. Herein, purpose of this paper...
An estimated 15%-40% of incarcerated persons in the United States are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). Approximately 1.4 million HCV-infected pass through corrections system annually, accounting for one-third total number States. This high prevalence HCV infection is due to substantial increase drug-related arrests over past 2 decades. Although epidemic may be viewed as a burden on correctional health systems, it an important public opportunity and obligation. Research implementation...
Ultrasound imaging allows cost effective in vivo analysis for quantifying peripheral nerve excursion. This study used ultrasound to quantify longitudinal radial excursion during various active and passive wrist movements healthy participants. Frame-by-frame cross-correlation software allowed calculation of from video sequences. The reliability measurement was moderate high (intraclass correlation coefficient range = 0.63-0.86, standard error 0.19-0.48). Radial ranged 0.41 4.03 mm induced by...
A 61-year-old man with a previous history of stage 1A bronchogenic carcinoma status after left upper lobe resection presented submassive haemoptysis. He denied chest pain but had productive cough and dyspnoea. A radiograph showed lower infiltrate, diagnosis pneumonia was made. Antibiotics were …
Despite prior U.S. recognition of “enhanced interrogation” techniques as torture, science was misrepresented to support their use.
Purpose - It is a simple fact that prisons cannot exist practically, legally, ethically or morally without the support of physicians and other health professionals. Access to adequate healthcare one fundamental measures legitimacy jail prison. At same time, there tension in missions prison doctor. The primary mission security often punishment. Reform rehabilitation have intermittently been stated goals last century, but practice those humane rarely governed administrative culture. physician...
