Child multidimensional deprivation and poverty is a key challenge to achieving sustainable development. The aim of this paper present apply new composite index for evaluating the progress towards eradicating child poverty: Multidimensional Deprivation Index (CMDI). This stems from foundational literature on that rooted in work started by UNICEF based seven core dimensions deprivation, while con...

The monotypic genera Paleotachina Townsend, 1921 and Electrotachina Townsend, 1938 were originally described as fossils in amber but were later discovered to be inclusions in copal. Both taxa were originally assigned to the Tachinidae (Diptera) and this placement has continued to the present day. The holotypes of the two type species, P. smithii Townsend and E. smithii Townsend, were examined a...

One of the most important determinants of ill health is deprivation, but it is not immediately clear the deprivation index that should be used when comparing health statistics, particularly in rural areas. The purpose of this paper was to discover the most suitable deprivation index to measure the relation between ill health and deprivation in Northamptonshire. Northamptonshire is a mixed urban...

Ion channels don't like having their permeant ions taken away. Particularly when they are in the mood to let ions through, this sort of deprivation makes them feel downright unstable. Like jilted lovers, they shut the door and become listless, inactive(-ated), and sometimes even immobilized. Channel physiologists have long tried to ignore this dejected behavior on the part of the channels , eve...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Versions of deprivation indices have been increasingly used to monitor patterns and magnitudes of inequality in health. For policy-makers, it is of interest to assess whether they need to construct regionally tailored indices, or whether the existing indices perform sufficiently in detecting inequalities in their respective jurisdiction. Few studies have explored the benef...

BACKGROUND Deprivation in the general population predicts mortality. We have investigated its relevance to an acute medical admission, using a database of all emergency admissions to St James' Hospital, Dublin, over a 10-year period (2002-11). METHODS All emergency admissions, based on geocoding of residence, were allocated to a Small Area Health Research Unit division, with a corresponding d...

There is an increasing interest in the unequal socio-spatial distribution of environmental 'goods' and 'bads' and the associated implications for geographical inequalities in health. Until recently, research in this area has focused on solitary environmental characteristics and has been hindered by the absence of geographically-specific measures that recognise the multifactorial nature of the p...

sleep deprivation has negative effects on performance and resulted in elevating of mortality risk, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 30 hour sleep deprivation on serum levels of c-reactive protein, blood lactate, muscular strength and physiological factors of rast test in active students. the present study was a semi-experimental on...

BACKGROUND Statins are widely prescribed for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Guidelines exist for statin prescriptions, but there is little recent analysis concerning prescription trends over time and how these vary with respect to demographic variables. METHODS AND RESULTS Using The Health Improvement Network primary care database, statin therapy initiation and statin presc...
