Tobacco use among Australian dental hygiene students is declining, but more still needs to be done

While health care professionals have a responsibility to prevent and control the use of tobacco for improved health outcomes, it appears that some dental hygiene students continue to smoke. A survey of Australian dental hygiene students found that up to 16.3% smoke, although this prevalence rate decreased with each year of study. As future role models, it is essential that smoking cessation cou...

Coherent properties of super-continuum containing clearly defined solitons.

With the use of numerical simulations based on generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we study for the first time the coherence of super-continuum (SC), generated in tapered and cobweb fibers in the regime with clearly defined solitions in spectrum. We suggest a simple model, which explains the influence of pump pulses power and duration on SC coherence. A possibility of concerned SC gener...

Coronary revascularization, when it needs to be done it needs to be done.

Rapid advances in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic cardiology have led to an increase in health care costs. This has resulted in cost curtailing measures imposed by health care managers, based on assumptions that utilization of these methods do not provide commensurate increases in health benefits (over-use). To control the presumably spiralling costs of health care, practice guidelines...
