recording new necessary data. Obstetricians have to treat and guide women throughout their pregnancy, giving them options for care and choices so they can decide on how they would like to have their baby delivered. They also have to administer or order tests, advise patients of any health practices that have to or can be done, prescribe medications, supervise fetal development and movement, and diagnose prenatal problems or diseases. They keep track of the health of both the mother and the fetus; they
involves producing a radiograph of the breasts to allow tissue study. According to a recent survey carried out in the United Kingdom (National Health Service Breast Screening Programme. 2011), 73% of women invited for a breast screening mammography test accepted the invitation and were screened
Contraception is an entity that many people take for granted. In the past, women did not have any access to contraceptives because they did not exist at the time. As time passed, the thought of contraceptives began to bloom, but the idea was thought to be “obscene.” This was in a time where women had very few rights, and one of the rights they were forbidden to have was the right to have access to contraceptives and be active in the planning of their families and fertility.

Executive Summary Conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes account for 75% of health care spending in the United States and (cdc.gov).

The delivery of health care services in both Canada and the U.S. is discriminative towards immigrants. Immigrants in Canada are adversely affected compared to those in the U.S. In Canada, immigrants are less likely to have a pap test on time compared to immigrants in the U.S. (Guyatt et al., 2007). The waiting time for medical services is long in both countries. The waiting time is mostly determined by the number of medical doctors and facilities available in relation
The definite haemodynamic diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) requires right heart catheterisation and direct measurements of right ventricular, pulmonary artery and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures and cardiac output. As this is an invasive test with risk and cost implications diagnostic algorithms have been devised that combines clinical assessment, non-imaging cardio-respiratory assessment and non-invasive imaging in patients suspected of having pulmonary hypertension. The initial aim is
Asian continent. Currently, 44% of the Vancouver area population is of Asian descent (Statistics Canada, 2001). Immigrants commonly occupy skilled job positions that the host nation is unable to fill with its own citizens, and thus they offer many advantages to their receiving country. In a nation with a declining birthrate, such as Canada, their contribution can play a major role on multiple levels. The immigrants themselves often enjoy a greater earning potential than they did in their native country
1 Introduction Since the advent of the internal combustion engine nearly two centuries ago, humans have become increasingly reliant on fuel to power these engines. Our only method, historically, for obtaining this fuel is to probe the earth and oceans until crude oil is struck. Crude oil is termed a fossil fuel as it takes hundreds of millions of years to form. Crude oil is extracted from a geological reservoir and subsequently refined into the various fuels which we use at ever increasing rates
