ABSTRACT
Background: India today has over 61 million people residing in urban slums. Slums, on one hand, lack the basic requirements of housing, sanitation, and water supply that are detrimental for good health and on the other hand subject its residents to extreme poverty, unemployment and stress. Exposure to these environmental factors is expected to cause a distinct sort of morbidity pattern, which this study seeks to explore.Methods: This cross-sectional study was a secondary data analysis of aggregated data of patients who availed health services at the mobile medical unit (MMU) of the Ujjivan program run by Piramal Swasthya in the last one year. The project has a fleet of MMUs that makes at least one predestined monthly visit to each service point in urban slums of Bangalore (42 sites), Pune (18 sites) and Mumbai (19 sites).Results: Musculoskeletal disorders (30.69%) and cardiovascular diseases (25.56%) together accounted for 56.25% of the total disease burden. The analysis of blood pressure readings of all the registrations showed that the mean systolic and diastolic pressures were 129.71 and 84.92 mmHg respectively. 51.58% of all individuals had hypertension and 23.51 % had diabetes.Conclusions: According to the study a major proportion of urban populous seeking healthcare at the MMU are women and elderly and do so for non-communicable diseases. Hypertension and diabetes are major health threats among them. MMU could be used as an effective mode of service delivery for women and the elderly especially, for chronic diseases
ABSTRACT
Singapore's healthcare system is under strain from the rising demands of an increasing and ageing population, resulting in delayed specialist care for patients presenting to the emergency department and requiring admission. Acute assessment units have been developed elsewhere but are not well established in local healthcare. Our institution extended our acute medical team to form an acute medical unit (AMU), in which focused internist-led teams are stationed on site to rapidly assess and re-triage patients. All patients (excluding those with very complex conditions) are admitted to the AMU and managed by internists who provide holistic, patient-centric care with better ownership, improved efficiency and less fragmentation. Patients can receive timely access to medical interventions and stable patients can benefit from early supported discharge, anchored by the nursing, allied health and transitional care teams. Given the ageing patient population with multiple comorbidities, this integrated model with exceptional outcomes is highly suitable for Singapore.

ABSTRACT
Objective To know about the current situation and the existing problems concerning physical therapy in grassroot military medical units of PLA, so as to provide evidence for standard physical therapy in grassroot military medical units. Methods A total of 235 military physicians from the medical teams of division, brigade, and regiment of PLA were randomly surveyed on physical therapy. The collected data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2007. Results A total of 227 (96.59%) questionnaires were valid for analysis. Physical therapy was mainly used for military training-related injuries, including acute soft tissue injury (86.56%), lumbar muscle strain (85.03%), lumbar disc herniation (65.30%), frozen shoulder (55.17%), cervical spondylosis (47.76%), and osteoarthritis (37.28%). It was found that 87.67%, 67.84%, and 56.83% of the grassroot medical units were equipped with apparatuses for light therapy, traction, and intermediate-frequency therapy, respectively. As for safety protection, 47.14% of grassroot military medical teams had no measures for radiation protection, disinfection or quarantine. Conclusion Physical therapy is of great importance and has been popularized in grassroot military medical units of PLA. However, the advantages of physical therapy have not yet been fully utilized. The indictors of physical therapy are not accurately used and the related security protection is still not satisfactory. To make improvement, it needs to set up related regulations for both peacetime and wartime, to upgrade the skills of physicians, and improve the related equipments.
ABSTRACT
Los delitos sexuales están contemplados en la ley número 4573 del Código Penal de Costa Rica creada en 1970. Más tarde sus artículos son reformados en la ley Contra la Explotación Sexual de las Personas Menores de Edad que es la Ley 7899. La valoración médico legal de un delito sexual consiste en el interrogatorio, el examen de las vestimentas, exploración física general, exploración ginecológica, examen de la región anal, obtención de muestras para estudios de laboratorio y valoración del lugar de los hechos o escenario de muerte. En enero hasta diciembre del 2011, en el Departamento de Medicina Legal se valoraron un total de 2282 casos de denuncias por delitos sexual (DS) de los cuales la Clínica Médico Forense de San Joaquín fue la que recibió el mayor número de casos valorados mientras que la Unidad de San Carlos fue la que recibió el menor número. En razón de número de denuncias por DS por población adscrita a cada Unidad Médico Legal, Liberia es la unidad que tiene el más alto porcentaje de denuncias por población. En los Meses de Mayo y Junio del 2011 fueron los meses con mayores denuncias recibidas por DS.
The sexual crimes have their chapter in the Law 4573 of the Penalty Code of Costa Rica and some articles have been upgraded thanks to The Law against Child Sexual Exploitation which is the Law 7899. The forensic medical service for the examination of a sexual crime victim or the person accused is based on an interrogation, clothes examination, physical exam, gynecological exam, anal examination, laboratory exams and the crime scene investigation. From January to December 2011, in the Legal Medicine Department, a total of 2282 cases of sex crime accusations have been received and the Clínica Médico Forense got the first place in the number of accusations received as well as San Carlos received the least number of accusations for sex crimes. But if we compare the number of sex crime accusation with the number of persons affiliated to each Legal Medicine Unit, we can see that Liberia got the first place. From May to June of the year 2011 were the months with more number of sex crime accusations received in this department.
