This study was performed to determine the meat quality characteristics of pork loin and belly from 3 different three-way crossbred pigs: Yorkshire × Landrace × Duroc (YLD), Yorkshire × Chester White × Yorkshire (YCY), and Yorkshire × Berkshire × Duroc (YBD). Each of the twenty crossed pigs were randomly selected with their live weights at the range of 110-120 kg. After being slaughtered and coo...

Background: Apart from the mortality, road traffic injuries are associated with significant morbidities. This study has aimed to examine the pattern of traffic accident-related extremity fractures/dislocations and their related disabilities. Methods: A retrospective hospital-based study was conducted to assess the characteristics of limb fractures/dislocations among road traffic accident victi...

BACKGROUND This article is part of a project to determine the cost-effectiveness of averting the burden of disease. We used population data to investigate the costs and benefits of allocating resources to optimal treatment for asthma in adults, using a burden of disease framework. METHODS We calculated the population burden of asthma in the absence of any treatment as years lived with disabil...

Background Although type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases in children, school staff and students know very little about it. Most of what they know are misconceptions, like: “the person who has it cannot eat sugar”, or “it is a disease of old people”. Due to this lack of knowledge, they sometimes refuse to have students with DM, to assist them with their self-c...

AIMS The two components of disability-adjusted life year (DALY), years of life lost (YLL) and years lived with disability (YLD), are underutilized in evaluating heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and in assessing the global burden of disease. We aim to describe both the direct (medical) and the indirect (morbidity and mortality) inpatient cost of congestive heart failure in a ...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to assess the burden of disease (BOD) of the residents living in contaminated coastal area with oil spill and also analysed the BOD attributable to the oil spill by disease, age, sex and subregion. DESIGN Health impact assessment by measuring years lived with disability (YLD) due to an oil spill. SETTING A whole population of a community affected by an anthropogenic envi...

BACKGROUND We used disability-adjusted life years (DALY) to estimate the cancer burden in Japan for the year 2000. METHODS We estimated years of life lost (YLL) by using mortality data and years lived with disability (YLD) by using incidence data. The DALY for cancer was calculated as the sum of YLL and YLD. RESULTS For all cancers combined, 2 733 884 years of DALY were estimated in men and...

Alcohol use/dependence are an important risk factor for cirrhosis of the liver. The article aims to describe and conduct a comparative analysis of Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY), Years of Life Lost (YLL) and Years Lived with Disability (YLD) of alcohol use disorders and non-viral cirrhosis in Brazil in 2008. DALY was calculated as the sum of YLL and YLD. For YLL estimates, the mean numbe...
