The Impact

Evaluating of the correlation between quality of life, life expectancy and mortality rate is an important problem of modern ophthalmology. Many researchers note that eye pathology, which leads to a visual acuity decrease and blindness, has a significant impact on the mortality rate of the population. This review of literature is dedicated to studies examining the impact of eye diseases on the mortality rate of the population. (For citation: Zolotarev AV, Karlova EV, Miroshnichenko EV.

Exotic Dancer

This paper explores the factors which influenced the making and unmaking of this controversial and internationally unique temporary visa program. Through a review of literature, public documents, and media records I deconstruct this policy; analyze its rationalities, assumptions and mechanisms; and conclude with a discussion on the implications for foreign-born exotic dancers whose lives are marked by Canadian politics turmoil. I argue that the government's decision to discontinue the program has negatively impacted the human rights and quality of life of foreign-born exotic dancers who, quite possibly, made the dangerous transition to the existing group of undocumented workers in Canada. While the Exotic Dancer Visa Program was problematic in many ways these migrant women were protected by legal status, thus decreasing, but not eliminating, their vulnerability as women, as immigrants, and as workers.

ABSTRACT Aim As there is dilemma for treatment of postmenopausal vaginal atrophy, effort has been made to review the literature for the same. Background About half of all postmenopausal women will experience symptoms related to urogenital atrophy. Vaginal atrophy becomes clinically apparent 4 to 5 years after menopause, and subjective complaints as well as objective changes are present in 25 to 50% of all postmenopausal women. Review results Measures could be taken for not only treatment but also prevention of atrophy before symptoms become troublesome, but establishment of this prevention principle globally would require a formal cost-effective analysis and further research. Conclusion Treatment with local estrogen is simple, safe, and can transform a woman’s quality of life. Clinical significance Women experiencing sexual and urinary symptoms as a consequence of vaginal atrophy should be diagnosed and treated without delay in order to avoid a cascade of events which do not resolve spontaneously.

Sustainable livable housing is pre-condition for healthy living, improve quality of life and critical to economic and social survival. It also encompasses various aspects that predominantly depend on economic, social, cultural and environmental (ESCE) conditions within the locality. To this end, this paper seeks to explore, classify and assess the sustainable livable housing attributes from the existing literatures through content analysis. A review of literature revealed a total of ninety two (92) constructs, which were further grouped nine (9) livable housing-related attributes groups. Well-structured questionnaires were administered to residents of traditional urban areas (TUA) of Iwo Osun State, Nigeria with ninety two (92) constructs on Likert scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and relative importance index (RII).  Out of (92) constructs from nine (9) livable housing-related attributes groups, the results identified seventy eight (78) important attributes (i.e. 35 most important and 43 important) across groups and construct that TUA residents found important. Over RII was 0.409 for overall assessment of sustainable livable housing condition by TUA residents indicating that TUA residents are dissatisfied with their current housing conditions.

TEIXEIRA, M.E. e PEREIRA, J.L. Importância da preparação física para o paciente com doença de Parkinson. Revista Científica JOPEF, Vol.28, n.1, pp.29-43, 2019. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease described by the first in 1897 as "tremor paralysis." Its symptoms are variable, the most characteristic being tremor of the hands and loss of balance and muscular strength. It usually affects men over the age of 60, but there are forms that can occur in younger individuals. The progression of symptoms causes the quality of life of the patient to deteriorate significantly, leading to the inability to perform daily activities. In addition to pharmacological treatment, physical exercise has been indicated as a way to attenuate and slow the progression of symptoms. The objective of this work is to carry out an integrative review of literature on the subject, in which articles published over the last 10 years have been analyzed, thus seeking to update the theme. In general, it was possible to perceive a positive effect of the practice of specific physical exercise programs in patients with PD, with improvement of the quality of life. In vitro studies also demonstrated the protective effect of physical exercise on the onset of the disease. Keywords: Parkinson's disease; Physical exercise; Neuroprotection; Quality of life.

Symptoms And Signs

Abstract Diabetic Neuropathy (DN) is a complication that affects at least half of the patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Unlike other symptoms and signs that may sooner alarm the patients, DN manifestations tend to be rather silent, and so usually neglected by the patient for a long period of time, which can last for years. Therefore it’s a “hidden complication of diabetes” label. Unfortunately, it is only when symptoms already affect the quality of life that the treatment becomes challenging when it comes to speaking of either etiological, symptomatic or rehabilitation strategies. Early diagnosis can also be tricky while aiming for lifestyle corrections and proper individualized treatment strategies. Rehabilitation methods for DN aim especially towards the improvement of articulation mobility and muscular strength amelioration, the suggested brief review of literature promoting this part of therapy essential for both prevention and amelioration of overall morbidity.

High Clinical Suspicion

Meconium peritonitis carries a high risk of mortality in neonates. The etiology may be varied, and the perforation may occur either antenatally or in the immediate postnatal period. A strong clinical suspicion is required, and urgent management is crucial for survival without loss of functional gut. The underlying cause of intestinal obstruction must be carefully investigated. Postoperative management with parenteral nutrition, management of short gut and assessment of neurodevelopment are crucial for better quality of life. We present here three cases of complicated meconium peritonitis with perforation. We highlight the importance of high clinical suspicion and timely management resulting in good clinical outcomes.

Resilience is the quality of life in which a person is able to thrive against adverse internal and external conditions of life. This paper provides a framework for measuring resilience competency as a product of psychosocial support interventions. Resilience competency is one of the aims of psychological and social support given to persons who have undergone traumatic events or experiences. The researcher was biased towards the outcomes of psychosocial support given to looked-after children in care institutions. The paper is based on a review of literature on psychosocial support and resilience competency. The review focused on studies that have been published since the 1990s to date. The keywords used in the search for literature included psychosocial support, psychological support, social support, resiliency, resilience among children, looked-after children, psychosocial support and resilience. Based on the review of literature, the study found that researchers have identified many indicators of resiliency among looked-after children. Among these signs are: having a sense of purpose in life, exhibiting optimism, emotional hardiness or emotional intelligence and active coping with life’s challenges
