Analysis perspective for assessing the financial impact of interventions used in rural/remote settings – a canadian case study of fomepizole for toxic alcohol poisoning

The aim of the study is to present the process of diagnosis and treatment of the patients poisoned with toxic alcohols. Furthermore, the suicide risk assessment was presented. The role of supportive cure and the importance of the treatment with alcohol dehydrogenase blockade with fomepizole or ethanol hemodialysis for severe intoxicated patients were presented. The differences in the treatment of poisoning with particular toxic alcohols were presented. Moreover, the important psychological factors in the management of this group of patients were also discussed. The paper was illustrated with typical case studies of patients suffering from methanol and ethylene glycol intoxication. Conclusions: 1. The recognition of toxic alcohol poisoning remains a challenge for the clinician, because nonspecific symptoms are similar in many other conditions. 2. Proper management of the poisoned patients requires thorough analysis of many aspects: circumstances of the event, laboratory findings, response to the treatment, and the patient’s psychological problems.

This article aims to evaluate the financial impact of teacher’s academic degree for Higher Education Institutions’ (HEI) management and answers the following research problem: what is the financial impact in HEI’s management in the incentive to teachers’ professional qualification and academic degree? Methodologically is about a case study inside the universe of private HEI which sample was chosen randomly. It was used descriptive statistics. For that it was shown data in four tables followed by their descriptions with previous discussion of results presented that reveals a big financial impact to HEI, which makes necessary the assertive decision making by the management.

The Impact

COVID-19 could affect the global and local economy mainly by directly affecting production, by creation of disruption in supply chains and markets, as well as through its financial impact on firms and markets and organizations. However, the extent to which the impact is felt depends a great deal on the how governments and the public react to the disease. Here, a model is proposed to investigate the effect of the spread of corona virus infection and the consequent measures taken in response to its spread to lessen its impacts on the society and the economy. The interaction between the number of infected individuals and the variations in the national Growth Product, GDP, is modeled by a system of impulsive non-linear difference equations with delays. We are specifically interested in how different lock down measures effect business recovery as reflected by the national GDP. The model is analyzed to obtain valuable insights as to the factors that could yield different successes in the pandemic control and business recovery in various scenarios. Based on data of newly infected cases and cumulative cases weekly in Thailand, the model is simulated in a variety of scenarios to illustrate how different strategies and lockdown measures may give rise to different recovery rates.
