Caregiver Vulnerability and Brain Structural Markers: Compounding Risk.
Caregiving strain confers an increased risk for allcause mortality. Intensive caregiving can produce a range of adverse mental and physical health consequences, best documented among dementia family caregivers. The provocative population-based study of the elderly by Smagula and colleagues, drawn from a random, stratified sample, showed that more than 82% of those spouses who helped their partn...
متن کاملStructural vulnerability of the North American power grid.
The magnitude of the August 2003 blackout affecting the United States has put the challenges of energy transmission and distribution into limelight. Despite all the interest and concerted effort, the complexity and interconnectivity of the electric infrastructure precluded us for a long time from understanding why certain events happened. In this paper we study the power grid from a network per...
متن کاملStructural drivers of vulnerability to zoonotic disease in Africa
This paper argues that addressing the underlying structural drivers of disease vulnerability is essential for a 'One Health' approach to tackling zoonotic diseases in Africa. Through three case studies-trypanosomiasis in Zimbabwe, Ebola and Lassa fever in Sierra Leone and Rift Valley fever in Kenya-we show how political interests, commercial investments and conflict and securitization all gener...
متن کاملStructural Vulnerability Analysis of Electric Power Distribution Grids
Power grid outages cause huge economical and societal costs. Disruptions in the power distribution grid are responsible for a significant fraction of electric power unavailability to customers. The impact of extreme weather conditions, continuously increasing demand, and the over-ageing of assets in the grid, deteriorates the safety of electric power delivery in the near future. It is this depe...
متن کاملAssessment of carotid plaque vulnerability using structural and geometrical determinants.
BACKGROUND Because many acute cerebral ischemic events are caused by rupture of vulnerable carotid atheroma and subsequent thrombosis, the present study used both idealized and patient-specific carotid atheromatous plaque models to evaluate the effect of structural determinants on stress distributions within plaque. METHODS AND RESULTS Using a finite element method, structural analysis was pe...
