Managing And Mitigating Environmental Risks - Urban Land Institute slongroy
This document summarizes strategies for managing environmental risks in real estate development. It discusses potential environmental liability exposures from statutes like CERCLA and strategies to mitigate risk such as conducting environmental site assessments, seeking governmental liability protections, allocating contractual liabilities, and purchasing environmental insurance. Environmental site assessments involve records reviews, site inspections, and interviews to identify recognized environmental conditions. Governmental programs like Texas' voluntary cleanup program can release future owners from liability if contamination is remediated to state standards. Contracts and insurance can also allocate environmental risks and costs between parties.
The document summarizes several studies on motorcycle accidents. It discusses findings from the MAIDS report from 1999-2000 which looked at over 900 accidents and control cases. It also discusses the Hurt Report from 1976-1981 which examined over 900 accidents. The document outlines that most accidents occur in urban areas at intersections, often involving another vehicle. It notes motorcycles have a much higher risk of death - being 35 times more likely to result in a fatality per vehicle mile. The document stresses wearing protective gear like helmets and clothing can significantly reduce injuries and prevent fatalities in crashes.
This document provides an introduction to evidence-based medicine (EBM). It discusses what EBM is not, including that it is not something physicians have always done, "cookbook" medicine, a tool only for administrators and insurers, or restricted only to randomized trials. It also notes that EBM is not opposed to patient-centered medicine. It then discusses the need for EBM in terms of costs, delays in research implementation, managing the growing medical literature, countering misleading marketing, and dealing with conflicting results. It provides examples of delays and misleading information to illustrate these points. Finally, it introduces the concept of asking clinical questions and finding evidence to help answer those questions.

The document discusses addiction replacement therapy (also known as opioid substitution therapy) for treating opioid use disorder. It begins by outlining the objectives and magnitude of the global and Egyptian opioid problems. It then describes medication-assisted treatment using opioid agonists/antagonists like methadone and buprenorphine. The benefits of opioid substitution therapy include reducing illegal opioid use and associated harms while increasing social functioning. Common myths about substitution therapy are addressed. Treatment algorithms are provided to guide patient assessment and selection of optimal replacement therapies like methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone based on their different pharmacological profiles and patient characteristics.
Focus on long acting opioid substitution therapy.pptxehab elbaz
Long-acting buprenorphine injections like Buvidal can help address some of the limitations of daily-dosed opioid substitution therapies for opioid dependence. Evidence shows that Buvidal provides sustained suppression of withdrawal symptoms and drug cravings from the first dose. It also has favorable retention rates and safety profiles in both short-term and long-term studies compared to sublingual buprenorphine. Buvidal has the potential to improve outcomes for opioid dependence by offering more individualized treatment through less frequent dosing than daily options.
Dissociation is characterized by a disruption in consciousness, memory, identity, emotion, perception, body representation, motor control, and behavior. Dissociative disorders include Dissociative Identity Disorder, Dissociative Amnesia, Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder, Other Specified Dissociative Disorder, and Unspecified Dissociative Disorder. Lifetime prevalence of dissociation and dissociative disorders is around 10% in clinical and community populations. Dissociation exists on a continuum from normal experiences like daydreaming to pathological dissociation as seen in dissociative disorders. Dissociation is often associated with and can be explained as a response to traumatic stress.

Group psychotherapy versus twelve steps program , similarities and differencesehab elbaz
Both group psychotherapy and 12-step programs aim to help people with addiction issues. They share some similarities, such as relying on group cohesion and participant collaboration, using experiential learning, and encouraging honest self-disclosure. However, they also have some key differences. Group psychotherapy is a therapeutic program run by professionals, while 12-step programs are spiritual programs run by members. Group psychotherapy focuses more on managing conflicts between members during sessions. 12-step programs encourage contact between members outside meetings and restrict boundaries to minimize conflicts. Both approaches ultimately promote learning, growth, and positive change.
Patient safety involves avoiding preventable harm caused by errors in healthcare. There are different types of medical errors from errors to adverse events. A sentinel event is an unexpected occurrence that causes death or serious injury. Near misses refer to errors that could have caused harm but did not. A culture of safety depends on values, attitudes, behaviors and other factors that promote commitment to safety. Proper identification of patients, effective communication, safe practices for high-risk medications, and protocols for surgery are important for quality care and patient safety.
