For that matter this people's self-esteem is affected, they suffer a lot of socio-economic problems and we really need to help them overcome this problem, by running awareness program that will enable obese people understand their problems and get a way of dealing with it, either by treatment or prevention. We can only achieve this by also educating the society as well (Benjamin Caballero, 2011) I have taken this opportunity to go in to the society to fight obesity
Mounting clinical response to the existing burden of obesity and associated conditions through clinical programs and staff training to ensure effective support for those affected to loose weight or avoid further weight gain. (Kids Health, 2011) Obesity is defined by WHO (2011) as the excessive accumulation of fats that can cause harm to the health of an individuals
In the recent past, obesity has become one of the fastest spreading health conditions, even surpassing that of HIV / AIDS. This is even worse in the Western countries where for example in Canada, 40 to 60% of the population is obese while in the United States over 65% are obese and around 65% of the American population falling under this category (The Toronto Sun, 2011)
In essence, is the use of waterless, alcohol-based rubs more effective in preventing nosocomical infections? This is an important clinical question because of the increased preference and use of these rubs by healthcare workers in attempts to promote and enhance hand hygiene during clinical procedures. The significance of this researchable problem is also fueled by the fact that some studies have indicated that hygienic hand disinfection has better antimicrobial efficacy than hand washing (Kampf, Loffler & Gastmeier, 2009, p
One of these measures that have been adopted in the recent past is the development of hand disinfection as an important quality measure that is firmly embedded in clinical practice. As a basic component of any infection control, hand hygiene is usually considered synonymous with hand washing (Widmer, 2000, p
Therefore, a low occurrence of one type of cancer in a specific region or population group might be related with a high occurrence of a different type. (Harper, A
These are sodium, sugar, and of late trans fat and saturated fats present mainly in processed foods in large quantities. (Roodenburg; Feunekes; Leenen; Ramsay, 2008, p
In Canada, it has been estimated that there are 220,000 incidents of HCAI occur yearly leading to more than 8,000 deaths. (Klavs, et al
Despite the importance of hand hygiene, there is still an unacceptable low compliance with the hand hygiene policy within the universal healthcare system. (World Health Organization, 2007)

If such incentives can be quantified, it may be possible to get the cooperation of both government and the private sector. With regards to smoking culture and creating a public health awareness related to respiratory illness, it will also require a thorough cultural transformation that is difficult to effect due to the complex primary, secondary, and tertiary forces (Kent, 2008)
Untreated, this disease progresses slowly and death usually results from renal failure, acute infections, or tuberculosis (Style pp). Impairment and deformities may cause limitation daily activities and adverse social reaction, thus prosthesis may be necessary (Arora pp)
There is an estimated one to two million people who are visible and irreversibly disabled due to past and present leprosy, and require to be cared for by their communities (Leprosy pp). Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous disease, caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an obligate intracellular acid-fast bacillus, which affects principally the skin and peripheral nervous system (Harrop pp)
Impairment and deformities may cause limitation daily activities and adverse social reaction, thus prosthesis may be necessary (Arora pp). Approximately 70% of leprosy patients can be diagnosed by means of a single sign of skin patch with sensory loss (Rao pp)
Although leprosy control efforts have intensified, full control of the disease has eluded many parts of Angola, Brazil, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Nepal, and the United Republic of Tanzania (Leprosy pp). Until AIDS came into existence, leprosy was the most feared of infectious diseases (Storrs pp)
The incubation period ranges from six months to forty years or longer, with the average period being two to three years (Harrop pp). Leprosy is probably spread primarily by airborne droplets from the nasal mucosa and upper airways, and may also be transmitted by insects, skin contact, breast milk and the placenta of infected mothers (Style pp)
Foliage is often damaged with wilted or dead tissue or yellowing of the leaves. The plant will reduce its growth and yield, and will endure recurring injury before finally dying prematurely (Griffiths, 2003)
