Stroke is a major public health challenge, not only for neuropharmacology, but for the society in general. Stroke causes physical and psychological suffering for patients and their family, increased hospitalization burden, and premature death. Every year, there are 500,000 new stroke victims in the United States, and as many in Europe. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and can occur in young subjects under 55 years of age (estimated incidence = 34/100,000), especially in men. In the United States...

Attention to the public health challenges posed by CSO sewers focus on control of pathogen dispersion. From NPDES perspectives, CSO systems are restricted from discharging untreated sewage during periods of dry weather. 

The topics were carefitlly selected based on cirltitral and societal relevance, emphasizing current health challenges in Abu Dhabi and the UAE. For example, as mentioned above, a typical core problem used at GT for the first problem is the identification of optimal methods for disease screening. In alignment with GT, this problem was selected due to the large amoimt of inquiry involved towards the solution ranging from the disease mechanisms at the molecirlar level to the physics... 

At KU, fresh skins were affixed to the core such that a cultural relevance and benefits were clearly established. For example, the following two health challenges were selected at KU for problem 1 ...

Alexander would land at a clandestine airfield and then hitch a ride with a passing United Nations convoy to get to a mfiitary base. Once there, she would find the civil-affairs unit Hi, I m from the government and I m here to help. Soldiers were always happy to see her, even if they didn t know she was coming, and they would quickly brief her on the local water, agricultural, and health challenges. She made friends and learned about the needs to be filled by the USAID experts-who arrived 18 months later. (Hegland, 2007)... 

The conditions of refugee and IDP camps—while facilitating access of health programmes to displaced populations— present health challenges of their own, with crowded conditions creating additional risks for rapid transmission of disease. Significant risk for transmission of water-borne diseases such as cholera and hepatitis E has been documented in camp settings. 

However, there is much evidence that the health challenges associated with pre-flight circumstances will frequently outweigh the benefits of such selection bias. Burnett and Peel (2001 544) summarize numerous studies of the burden of disease evident in resettling refugees ...
