Case Study 2012 Spray on Skin ReCell Identification of needs: Spray on skin also known as ReCell is a new technology that has been developing worldwide for many years, but originated in Australia. It helps the skin within seven days after very severe burns. This new innovation shortens the time needed for generation of the new skin, also the time needed for rehabilitation. Scar research has established that scar formation is significantly reduced if the wound of the patient heals quickly. If the burn take’s 21 days or more to completely heal, it has a greater risk of 70% of developing a major scar, compared to a burn wound that heals within 10 days or less, with a risk of 4%.
Suicide has been an issue among all ages, especially among elderly. According to World Health Organization (WHO), approximate one million people die by suicide in the world every year, and global suicide rate among elderly people is three time higher than the rate among youth (Wasserman 2011). However, it is more understandable that suicide rate among old aged people is higher, because elderly people may suffering from physical and mental illness which is more likely to result in suicide. But there are still risk factors and warning signs that we can recognized to prevent the tragic event from happening. Furthermore, once an elderly person is recognized as at risk for suicide, various of treatment can be provided on time.
It related two things, how harmful and deadly smoking is and how terrible the terrorist attack was on the Twin Towers. I do believe that this ad along with other ads do help people to quit smoking. Everyone is touched by different things in different ways at different times in their lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, the percentage of adults that smoke has declined 3% from 2005 to 2013. As for the terrorists, I do not think that this ad will affect them in any way.
This does not even take into account the huge number of drownings, burns, sexual assaults, suicides and homicides that have been averted by the "21" law. Twenty-one was a great victory for MADD and for the nation. Since then we have made great progress, but the problem has not been solved. Underagedrinking is still America's number one youth drug problem killing more teens than all the other illicit drugs combined. And in recent years alcohol-related traffic deaths have crept up for both teens and adults.
Around 10-15% of patients with Bipolar I Disorder commit suicide, with the risks being highest during episodes of depression or mixed mania (the state of simultaneous depression and mania) (Suicide Rate, 2007). Some studies believe the risk for suicide in Bipolar II Disorder patients is even higher than those who are suffering with Bipolar I Disorder or major depressive disorder. Patients who also suffer from an anxiety disorder also are at greater risk for suicide. Fast cycling, a more complex bipolar disorder variation does not appear to enhance the suicide risk in patients with bipolar disorder symptoms. Lots of pre- and early adolescent children with bipolar disorder are more severely ill than adults with the disease.
Acourding to health care expenditure, heart disease is one of the expensive health condition, costing Australian government 4.5 million dollars in the year 2000 to 2001. The cases of cardiovascular disease become high when people get older , which mean number of Australian with cardiovascular disease might increases in the near future due to the number of the elderly people in Australia. There is no doubt that cardiovascular disease is a big causes of death and the second causes of disease burden compare to other diseases burden. Statistic show that cardiovascular disease is responsible for the 34% of all death in Australia in the year 2007. Statistic show that, cardiovascular disease kills one Australian almost every eleven minutes, affects nearly 3.4 millions of the whole population, prevent 1.4 million Australian population from living a complete life due to disabilities causes by heart diseases, and it take away the lives of nearly 48,500 Australians in the year 2008
If we look at the statistics alone we see in many areas we are already winning. According to the Uniform Crime Reports and Federal Bureau of Investigation arrests for drug law violations this year are expected to exceed the 1,663,582 arrests of 2009. Law enforcement made more arrests for drug abuse violations (an estimated 1.6 million arrests, or 13.0 percent of the total number of arrests) than for any other offense in 2009. Someone is arrested for violating a drug law every 19 seconds.3 The current Commissioner of the New York City Police Department Raymond Kelly said “If you look back in history, if you look back 20 years ago, we had about 25 million drug users in this country. They say that we are down below 13 million now.
What are potential solutions? Despite the stigma a police officer is more likely to die from suicide than in the line of duty (Violanti, 2008). Retired officers also suffer a high rate of completed suicide (Violanti, 2008). The rate of police officer suicide is three times the national average (Lindsey & Kelley, 2004). In the United States, the most common and successful method of suicide is by fire arm (CDC, 2009).
But the thought of making the production and sale of cigarettes illegal is a more recent belief. I have come to this conclusion because I do not believe that people will stop using cigarettes just because of the health risks that are well publicized and well known. Some of these statistics are given in a very bold way by the National Institute on Drug Abuse: “Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Between 1964 and 2004, cigarette smoking caused an estimated 12 million deaths, including 4.1 million deaths from cancer, 5.5 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 1.1 million deaths from respiratory diseases, and 94,000 infant deaths related to mothers smoking during pregnancy.1 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), cigarette smoking results in more than 443,000 deaths in the United States each year – about one in every five U.S. Deaths – and an additional 8.6 million people suffer with a serious illness caused by smoking.
These resources are used to portray the chronological changes in the Chinese society and how these fluctuations have impacted the suicide rates. The decade of the 1990s began with some of the highest suicide rates around the world, however, the major economic and political shifts consequently reduced the suicide rates by the year 2000. The society started getting used to the novel financial and societal model and finally began reaping the benefits. The decade of the 2000s presented some vital alterations in the model of the Chinese suicide. For example, both urban and rural suicide rates decreased, male suicide rates became higher than those of the females, and elderly suicide significantly increased.
