Improving Patient Care, Medical Education, and Biomedical Research in the United States: The Role of Social Media


The healthcare system is one of the largest and most important multinational enterprises in the United States. Healthcare service is comprised of three essential activities including patient-care, education, and research. In 2008, over 14 million residents in the United States were employed in the healthcare field, excluding related industries such as insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

sociology impact factor
The United States spends roughly $8,000 per person, per year on healthcare (a growing figure), which is 51% more than the nation with the next largest expenditure. A significant amount of this spending is on health research activities (e.g. National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Although this spending is a noteworthy share of the Nation’s Gross Domestic Product, it can be valuable if products are produced that can put this money back into the system. The development of new knowledge and products via healthcare research activities is one viable method of replacing this capital.

Urinary Continence and Sexual Functioning (Risk Factors and Prevention for Disorders of Sexual Intercourse in Persons with UI)


Researchers often state that urinary incontinence (UI) has unfavorable consequences for the sexual functioning of persons who are affected by this disorder. Is this in fact the case? What decides whether the sexual life of persons with UI will deteriorate - or improve? Could it have something to do with UI during intercourse itself?

social sciences open access journal
From the research available to date it can be inferred that while UI can indeed affect the sexual functioning of partners, still, UI is not the only factor, nor is it the only important factor, affecting the evaluation of the quality of sexual life. This has been confirmed by some of the earlier research performed by our team, which indicated that UI in women can affect marital functioning, especially sexual relations, which is manifested inter alia by earlier withdrawal from sexual activity, especially in women for whom this aspect of life is of less importance, or by a change in the strategy for coping with UI during intercourse.

The need of Social Science and Community approaches in Human Nutrition in Tertiary Education

social sciences open access journal
Human Nutrition entails the study of the food-depended growth, maintenance and repair of the body, and comprises a necessary component of tertiary education in health. Human Nutrition science has received special attention over the past three decades, although adequate nutrition instruction is not always provided in universities or is not provided within designated Nutrition courses. Nutrition is coming to the fore as a major modifiable determinant of chronic disease, with scientific evidence increasingly supporting the view that alterations in diet have strong effects, both positive and negative, on health throughout all human life.

What Happens at Underground Raves? Risk, research and Harm Reduction

Underground raves first appeared in the late 80's in the United Kingdom, since then they have spread up to be strongly established throughout many different countries and continents. Opposite to mainstream raves or other recreational contexts (with commercial purpose and publicly advertised), underground raves could be considered the most risky context for their participants´ health. 

social sciences open access journal
On the one hand, substances and poly substance use in underground raves is higher than the one it can be found at mainstream raves or other recreational contexts. Poly substance use is usual in this kind of raves, with a high use of stimulant/hallucinogenic substances. On the other hand, the fact that this kind of parties are self-organized, far away or held in places difficult to get, and that they are not often prepared to attend health emergency situations, could lead to serious consequences to the health of ravers in the case of they should have severe health problems.

Treatment of Urinary Incontinence in Women: A Challenge between Conservative and Surgical Therapy

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a socially embarrassing condition, causing withdrawal from social situations and reduced quality of life. This withdrawal from regular physical activities may be a threat to women’s general health predisposing to osteoporosis, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, depression and anxiety. 

social sciences open access journal
UI is defined by the International Continence Society as a condition in which involuntary loss of urine is a social or hygienic problem and is objectively demonstrable. UI is more common in women than in men and affects women of all ages. Prevalence rate in women between 15 and 64 years of age vary from 10% to 30% which increases with age. The prevalence of UI is significantly higher for individuals living in nursing homes, compared to community settings, with rates ranging from 43% to 77%. The severity of incontinence also increases with age. While a specific etiologic cause of urinary incontinence is often identifiable in younger persons, a multifactorial syndrome is more likely in older persons.

The Case for Morality Religious Higher Education as Academia

Higher Education is Globalization and Integration-but is it? Stern Warning: This article is highly “Politically Incorrect” and proud of it. An oft-spoken historian’s rule is that the Hebrew Bible did not and could not have contributed anything significant to the rise of modern ideas and institutions. Quite the opposite, it is claimed by some to have been a hindrance. 

social sciences open access journal
The ‘faith’ is drawn from Marx, that religion is the opiate of the masses-and who wants to be ‘masses’?! It is always more chic to be ‘liberal’and ‘secular’ and anti-religion. And, if one can ‘get away’ with it, to be anti-religion while proudly declaring a state of utter ignorance about the subject. We probably all know of a certain biologist who makes a point of searing anti-religion statements while expressing pride in total ignorance of the subject.a

Dynamics of Culture and Health: Perceived Behavioural Control and Differences in Smoking Behavior between Arab and Jewish Cardiac Patients in Israel

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are still the leading cause of death in many western countries even though major advances in treatment have contributed to higher rates of surviving cardiac events. It is also evidentthat not all segments of society benefit from the major advances and disparities in CVD rates persist between the majority and ethnic minorities.

Culture and Health
In order to prevent recurrent cardiovascular events, patients are advised to gradually resume their regular life routines while also changing lifestyle habits that are major risk factors for CVD. Smoking (tobaccoaddiction) is the most significant of the modifiable cardiovascular riskfactors; thus smoking cessation is considered a high priority in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease. However, most patients find it difficult to adhere to smoking cessation. Again, Non-adherence to recommended cardiac rehabilitative and preventive actions is particularly higher in patients from minority groups.

Insightful Details on How Everything Developed From Nothing

In order to provide true knowledge, explanatory concepts in the social realm must be consistent with scientific observations on the micro-level substances that underlie the reality of the beings whose interactions social theories seek to explain. As a result, there is a need insocial research for a unified theory of the basic physics of social beings thatinvolves the nature of being itself. As pointed out by Omnes, a unified, consistent theory of being that reflects the reality of quantum physics is very important in ontology and philosophy in general.

explanation
However, deep philosophical issues relating to whether social beings represent mere illusions and whether perceptions of such beings are detailed symbolic categorizations of the nature of existence or rough generalizations of the true state of everything are important in all. A major contribution to ensuring such consistency has beenprovided by Leuten , who, using a very diverse cross-section of scientific evidence stemming from over a thousand interdisciplinary sources, explained how everything is composed of various combinations of divided nothingness that evolved from nothing.

What Accounts for the Differences in Suicide Trends Across Countries of the Former Soviet Union?

Suicide is a major public health problem worldwide. The Slavic countries of the former Soviet Union Russia, Ukraine and Belarus retain one of the highest suicide rates in the world, despite a gradual decline over the past decade. Since the early 1980s, suicide mortality in these countrieshas undergone sharp fluctuations. In general, the temporal pattern of suicide mortality fluctuations was similar for three countries: sharp decrease in the mid of 1980s, dramatic increase in the first half of 1990s followed by a decline. 

Suicide Trends
While the trends in suicide mortality have been similar in three countries during the Soviet period, there was significant discrepancy after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In particular, Russia experienced thesharpest suicide mortality fluctuations during anti-alcohol campaign andtransition. In Russia suicide rate jumped dramatically between 1991 and 1994. There was also a spike in suicide mortality between 1999 and 2001 in Russia, which might be explained by the financial crisis in 1998. In Ukraine and Belarus, suicide rates increased steadily up to 1996 and then started to decrease.
