This document discusses skull and facial fractures. It begins by defining a fracture as a partial or complete break in the skull bone, usually from direct impact, indicating substantial force was applied to the head. It then describes the anatomy protected by the skull - the brain, meninges, CSF. Skull fractures are more common in thin areas and develop at sites of increased force. Imaging helps assess the fracture pattern, type, extent and position. CT is usually best to evaluate skull fractures and brain injury while MRI is better for soft tissue injuries. Various fracture types - linear, depressed, basal, open vs closed - and classifications are described. Pediatric fractures like growing skull and birth fractures are additionally discussed.

This document discusses how the development of large pharmaceutical industries in India and China has not ensured access to health for local populations. While India and China used flexibilities in patent laws to produce generic drugs, making medicines more affordable, access to basic healthcare services remains limited. The pharmaceutical industries increased drug availability but health policies have flaws that prevent people from accessing care. Comprehensive healthcare systems are still in early stages in both countries, with disparities jeopardizing the goal of health for all. Access to affordable medicines is not sufficient without also improving infrastructure, reducing costs, and increasing the medical workforce to provide care.

The Arab world has a rich history of academic institutions and scientific advancement, but currently lags behind globally in research output and funding. Several challenges have contributed to this decline, including inadequate research funding levels in Arab nations, brain drain of talented students and researchers leaving the region, and underrepresentation of Arab research in prominent English-language citation indexes, partly due to much research being published in Arabic. Recent initiatives aim to address these issues and strengthen pan-Arab research capacity through increased collaboration, modernizing universities, boosting private and public research funding, and fostering mobility of scientists within the region.

This document summarizes a PhD thesis that explored adaptive approaches to improve security of medical images. Specifically, it investigated encryption and watermarking techniques. A novel encryption method was introduced that uses selective encryption in an adaptive manner to reduce implementation time while maintaining robustness of algorithms like AES and 3DES. The method adaptively encrypts different regions of medical images based on their importance. Additionally, a fragile watermarking scheme was proposed to detect any alterations made to medical images after encryption. The scheme embeds patient-specific information as a watermark for authentication and tamper detection. Evaluation of the proposed approaches confirmed their effectiveness in securing medical images.

Global Medical Tourism
Health care seems to be in the news constantly-from the
cost of health care to the quality of delhering health care.
The United States prides itself on having the best health
care, but it is also the most expensive health care provider
in the developed world. The United States spends roughly
$10,000 per person annually on health care, while
Switzerland, as the second highest-spending country, al-
locates just over $6,000 annually. Interestingly, health
care has always been viewed as an industry that is local to
the country in which people live.
You might even think that health care is one of the in-
dustries least vulnerable to dislocation from globalization.
Like many service businesses, surely health care is deliv-
ered where it is purchased. If an American goes to a hospi-
tal for an MRI scan, a local radiologist is likely to read the
scan, right? If the MRI scan shows that surgery is required,
surely the surgery will be done at a local hospital in the
United States? Until recently, this was true, but we are
now witnessing globalization in this traditionally most
local of industries. This globalization of health care-
"medical tourism"-has resulted in more than 8 million
patients f ...

Benefits of Organizational Diversity
You are the consultant assigned to study the organizational environment in the Miami, Florida, and the Kansas City, Missouri, offices. Both are service call centers for Fig Technologies. The workforces have a large cross-section of locals from the area, university graduates from nearby institutions, and transfers from other offices within the organization. The offices are facing issues in several areas.
The two offices have a friendly rivalry with regard to professional sports and local college teams. In the Florida office, there have been concerns raised, including some complaints that the rivalry has gone to extremes.
Contingent software developers in both offices from Brazil and South Africa have been unable to get people excited about fútbol instead of football. A few individuals in the Kansas City office have begun hanging out together and talking in the break areas about their relationships with same-sex partners, multiple partners, and some encounters of homosexual and heterosexual relationships together. A petition is circulating around the Kansas City office about these types of discussions being banned.
You are being sent to assess the environment and provide a report of your findings. The report should be in three sections:
1: assessment of findings in Miami, FL;
2: assessment of findings in Kansas City, MO; and
3: recommendation for addressing these findings to the Executive Leadership Council (ELC) for review.
In your assessment of findings, be sure to evaluate how organizational cultures are perceived and how problem solving and creativity are promoted with organizational diversity.
In your recommendations for the ELC, contrast the benefits and disadvantages of diversity, and establish the value of working through these issues to create a dynamic organizational culture.
How will you channel this diversity and help create a positive atmosphere?
Support your recommendation through the use of at least two sources, one of which can be the textbook. Content should be three to four pages in length. Length does not include an assessment tool, if used, though it may be added as an addendum (recommended, not required). All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
All references and citations used must be in APA style.
Have some fun with the assignment. Use your creative thinking along with your critical thinking to include your perspective of the findings and how to address the issue.

The Efficiency of the El Salvador HIV Program Mission SupportHFG Project
This document summarizes the findings of a survey conducted to identify inefficiencies in El Salvador's national HIV/AIDS program. The survey activities included interviews with health ministry technicians and officials. Key findings included:
- Opportunities for improved coordination between government agencies and civil society organizations involved in HIV prevention and treatment.
- A need to strengthen programs targeting at-risk populations like sex workers, transgender individuals, and men who have sex with men.
- Identifying ways to improve the efficient management and sustainability of program budgets given decreasing donor funding over time.
- Recommendations to update the national HIV law to help ensure long-term public funding for HIV programs.
1. A 1982 UNESCO report stated that access to scientific and technological information is essential for development in developing countries. However, many institutions in developing countries lacked journal subscriptions.
2. The Budapest Open Access Initiative recommended two routes to overcoming access problems: researchers can deposit articles in open access institutional repositories, or publish in open access journals.
3. Open access institutional repositories provide free access to published research and are located at research organizations. They help address information gaps between the global North and South. There are now over 1,100 repositories worldwide.

- India has made slow progress adopting open access despite opportunities it could provide for scientific advancement and addressing problems like poverty, healthcare, and agriculture. Barriers include a lack of awareness among policymakers and scientists about open access and its advantages.
- Some organizations have begun open access initiatives, like certain CSIR laboratories setting up open access repositories and some scientific journals becoming open access. However, more coordinated efforts are needed across scientific institutions and disciplines.
- Widespread adoption of open access in India could help disseminate knowledge to marginalized communities and support local researchers and health workers in improving conditions. But focused advocacy and training is still required to increase awareness of open access.
OAA12 - The rapidly changing policy environment: Implications for publishers ...BioMedCentral
Open access policies are changing rapidly with implications for publishers and universities. There has been a surge in global, regional, and government open access policies moving open access more into the mainstream. At the heart of these policy changes is a battle over intellectual property rights and internet freedom. UNESCO and other organizations are working to promote open access policies that benefit developing countries, especially in Africa, where capacity building and infrastructure are major issues. The impact of these policy changes on developing world universities and their role in knowledge production and national development remains an ongoing discussion.
This two-day workshop in Accra, Ghana brought together 73 representatives from 11 West African countries to discuss two recent reports on the private health sector and mHealth in West Africa. The workshop aimed to strengthen collaboration between public and private health sectors by presenting the reports' findings and recommendations, showcasing successful partnerships, and exploring how to increase mHealth uptake in the region. Participants engaged in discussions on country implementation of recommendations, partnership models, and addressing equity issues in mHealth. There was strong interest in convening national stakeholder dialogues and developing a regional private sector platform to advance collaboration on health in West Africa.
The document discusses problems with scientific research in Arab universities. It finds that Arab universities produce very little scientific research compared to other regions. Expenditure on research and development is only 0.2-0.4% of GDP in Arab countries, compared to 4-6% in developed countries. Few Arab patents are registered each year and Arab universities rarely rank among the top 500 globally. Brain drain is also a major issue, with over 50% of Arab talents working abroad. Key problems include a lack of quality assurance in higher education, insufficient funding for research, political instability, and an education system focused on memorization rather than innovation. Overall reforms are needed to boost scientific research output from Arab universities.
Chen Yantai: The Prizes and Pitfalls of Science & Technology Progress in Dev...STEPS Centre
This document discusses the prizes and pitfalls of science and technology progress in developing countries. It notes that countries like China and India have become significant players in high-tech production and global knowledge. However, most scientific journals are published in developed countries and English, limiting access. While developing countries now conduct similar cutting-edge research, they also still face challenges like public health and food security. The dominance of Western science risks losing indigenous research traditions. A new manifesto is suggested to encourage a balance between global and domestic research needs and to make international standards more inclusive of developing country research.

In January 2014, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families of the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC), in
collaboration with the IOM Board on Global Health, launched the Forum
on Investing in Young Children Globally (forum). At this meeting, the
participants agreed to focus on creating and sustaining, over 3 years, an
evidence-driven community of stakeholders that aims to explore existing,
new, and innovative science and research from around the world and
translate this evidence into sound and strategic investments in policies
and practices that will make a difference in the lives of children and their
caregivers.
This document provides an overview of the healthcare industry in India. It discusses various aspects of the industry including emerging diseases, infrastructure issues, the growth of telemedicine and health insurance, the nutraceuticals and medical tourism markets, ayurveda, surgical equipment, and the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical industry in India is one of the largest by volume globally but is still dominated by foreign companies operating through Indian subsidiaries. The industry has grown significantly since patents for drugs and formulations expired in the 1970s.

While developing countries now conduct similar cutting-edge research, they also still face challenges like public health and food security. The dominance of Western science risks losing indigenous research traditions. A new manifesto is suggested to encourage a balance between global and domestic research needs and to make international standards more inclusive of developing country research.

A Strategy for Reform of Higher Education in Jordan (16.3.2003)walid maani
The document outlines a vision for reforming Jordan's higher education sector to better align it with economic development needs. It proposes numerous reforms in areas like financing, admissions standards, curriculum, research, governance, and regulation. The goal is to improve quality, relevance, cost recovery, and innovation in higher education so it can better support Jordan's knowledge-based economy.
This document discusses using the Tawjihi exam as an admission test for universities in Jordan. It argues that Tawjihi is not needed as certification of high school completion or for employment, so its only purpose must be as a university entrance exam. The document proposes a new system where students can take exams in 11th-12th grade subjects over multiple sittings each year to qualify for admission to university programs grouped by field of study. A 10th grade exam would direct students to either academic or vocational tracks for 11th-12th grades.
This document provides an overview of the history and current state of neurosurgery in Jordan. It discusses how neurosurgery began in the 1960s with a few pioneering neurosurgeons and has grown significantly since. Today there are over 50 practicing neurosurgeons in Jordan, several residency programs, and Jordan provides neurosurgical care to over 100,000 patients from other countries in the Arab world each year. Infrastructure and supporting facilities for neurosurgery in Jordan have advanced greatly and are now on par with international standards.
This document presents a case study of a 15-year-old girl diagnosed with an extradural cervical myxomatous chordoma with extension beyond the spine and encasement of the vertebral artery. Imaging including CT, MRI, and angiography showed the tumor extending through two intervertebral foramina. The patient underwent a two-stage surgical removal of the tumor, followed by radiation therapy. Follow-up showed no remaining intraspinal tumor and only a small extrapinal nodule. The patient recovered full function and was attending regular checkups.

happened to Islamic Science?" He
replied "Nothing. What we cultivated in
Isfahan and Cordoba is now being

9. Why Are We In The Situation That We Are
In?
Is it that we have more important concerns than
science and scientific research?
Is it that we have the resources to buy the products of
science, so why bother trying to create them?
Is it that, even if we wanted, we do not have the
capability to conduct research?
Is it that our educational systems are not geared to
produce the human power capable of conducting
research?

10. Is It Correct To Say?
Unless the educational system in schools is changed to
critical thinking, we will continue to produce students who
copy but not think?
Unless the university instructional methods are changed to
emphasize self learning and research, the university
graduate will not differ from a high school student?
Unless promotion of university staff is tied to quality
research published in international journals, the role of
universities in development will remain meager?

11. Is It Correct To Say?
Unless the universities’ research be part of the national
development plan, then all efforts will be fragmented and
non-relevant?
Unless the sabbatical leaves granted by universities are
spent in actual monitored research in recognized labs,
then it is a waste of time and money to grant the leaves.
Unless the right environment for research is created, then
we will continue to lament our bad fortune?

12. Is It Correct To Say?
That the Arab private sector still posses the mentality of
the street vendor, who wants to earn as much to take
home?
That our reliance on “foreign experts” did not give a
chance to our experts to prove their capabilities?
That our political fragmentation, reflected it self on the
lack of joint major research projects?

13. Since We Know All Of This, What Shall
We Do To rectify The Situation?
A six track policy should be adopted nationally and regionally
Reform the school educational system.
Reform the university systems.
Involve research institutions in the national development plans.
Involve the private sector in research and its finance.
Allocate more resources to research.
Create inter-Arab scientific research bodies.
