ABSTRACT
With ageing of the population, it is estimated that the percentage of old people aged above 65 years old will be approached to 30% in China by 2035. This presents a considerable challenge to geriatric burn treatment, as elderly burn patients have more serious injuries, longer hospital lengths of stay, and higher rates of complications and mortality. In this article, we analyze the current status of burns in the elderly in China and the factors contributing to the outcome of the elderly, and put forward therapeutic strategies so as to improve the level of prevention and treatment of burns in the elderly.
ABSTRACT
Se definen los Sistemas Subnacionales de Salud en los espacios-población intermedio y local. De estos, los municipales o de comunas tienen un nivel de competencia y capacidades decisorias, restringidas. El espacio subnacional (estados o provincias), es una estructura fundamental de gestión de la salud para la prevención y atención de problemas en enfermedades cardiovasculares. El alto costo en enfermedad, muerte y gastos por enfermedades cardiovasculares, requiere una fuerte respuesta sanitaria. Para esto se proponen cinco recomendaciones para fortalecer los equipos gestores de los sistemas subnacionales de prevención y atención médica de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, estos son: 1. Garantía de la cobertura y acceso universal con equidad para la población del territorio a los programas y servicios; 2. Organización de la red de atención a las enfermedades cardiovasculares; 3. Generación y gestión de estrategias de intervención intersectoriales; 4. Educación permanente de los recursos humanos y 5. Monitoreo de la evolución de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y sus determinantes para detectar oportunamente tendencias negativas, necesidades de atención, brechas entre diferentes grupos de población y entre oferta y demanda de servicios
The subnational health systems in the intermediate and local population-spaces were defined; among them, the municipal or community ones have restricted level of competence and decision-making capacities. The subnational space (states or provinces) is a fundamental structure of health management for the prevention and care of cardiovascular problems. The high cost of disease, death and expenses from cardiovascular diseases requires sound health response. To this end, five recommendations were suggested to strengthen the managing teams of the subnational systems for medical care and prevention of cardiovascular diseases: 1. Assured coverage and universal equal access to programs and services by the population; 2. Organization of the network for caring of cardiovascular diseases; 3. Generation and management of intersectoral intervention strategies; 4. Continuing education of human resources and 5. Monitoring of cardiovascular diseases progression and their determinants to detect opportunely negative tendencies, care requirements, divisions among several population groups and gaps between the supply and the demand

O estudo centra-se na discussão de que o nível da estrutura organizacional interfere nas práticas de controle interno das organizações não governamentais (ONGs), sobretudo ligadas à saúde. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de observar a eficiência dos testes de controle interno aplicados dentro de uma estrutura organizacional da Fundação para Pesquisa, Prevenção e Assistência do Câncer, verificando a confiabilidade nos relatórios contábeis e controles operacionais. Como metodologia, realizou-se um estudo de caso em uma organização de saúde do terceiro setor. O estudo de caso ocorreu por meio de entrevistas e análises de relatórios confidenciais. Diante de uma avaliação da estrutura organizacional (das relações entre funcionários e voluntários) e da aplicação de procedimentos de avaliação da qualidade dos controles internos, avaliou-se o quanto o nível da estrutura organizacional interfere nas práticas de controle interno do hospital. Observou-se que existem mecanismos de controle estruturados na instituição, porém a execução desses controles deixa a desejar. Pode-se constatar também que o nível da estrutura organizacional interfere, sim, nas práticas de controle interno da entidade.
This work focuses on a discussion about the extent to which the level of organizational structure interferes in the internal control practices of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), especially those related to health. The objective of this work was to observe the efficiency of the internal control tests applied within the organizational structure of the Foundation for Cancer Research, Prevention and Care, checking the reliability of the accounting records and operational controls. A case study in a third sector health organization was the chosen methodology. The case study involved company interviews and the analysis of confidential reports. After an evaluation of the organizational structure (of the relations between officials and volunteers) and the application of evaluation proceedings on the quality of the internal controls, the extent to which the organizational structure interferes with the internal control practices of the hospital was assessed. It was revealed that there are structured mechanisms of control in the institution, however the implementation of these controls is inadequately performed. It was further detected that the level of the organizational structure does indeed interfere in internal control practices at the entity.

HIV/AIDS has been circulating in China for over 25 year. While making progress and achievements on HIV/AIDS prevention, there still are great challenge and difficulties such as HIV epidemic controlling and vaccine research.
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop an accurate understanding of the policy impact of China-UK HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care Project.Methods Questionnaires and face-to-face interviews were employed for 20 key informants in Beijing including government officials,NGO workers,medical professionals,scholars,police officers,and representatives of international organizations involved in AIDS issues in China.Results The project was noted for its scale and a strong guarantee for fund allocation.It was also noted for having broken some policy taboos.The experience gained from the project was integrated into local policy development and became the evidence base for national policymaking.Conclusion Guided by scientific evidence,the China-UK Project has produced excellent experience for developing national AIDS prevention and control strategy by applying pilot-study based management and making continuous improvement through practice,but its sustainability is challenged when the Project ends.
