“…Building materials, construction quality, age and height of the structure, and symmetry have all been implicated as factors influencing vulnerability to damage during an earthquake (Camilleri, 1999;Spence and D'Ayala, 1999;Pai, Tien and Teng, 2007). Older, poorly constructed buildings made of lower quality materials are more prone to collapse and thus cause deaths and injuries (Spence and D'Ayala, 1999;Tsai et al, 2001;Liao et al, 2005). Mudbrick (adobe) structures are particularly dangerous (Tien et al, 2002;Liao et al, 2005;Pawar, Shelke and Kakrani, 2005;Pai, Tien and Teng, 2007).…”

Effects of seismic intensity and socioeconomic status on injury and displacement after the 2007 Peru earthquake

2010

Earthquakes are a major cause of displacement, particularly in developing countries. Models of injury and displacement can be applied to assist governments and aid organisations in effectively targeting preparedness and relief efforts. A stratified cluster survey was conducted in January 2008 to evaluate risk factors for injury and displacement following the 15 August 2007 earthquake in southern Peru. In statistical modelling, seismic intensity, distance to rupture, living conditions, and educational attainment collectively explained 54.9 per cent of the variability in displacement rates across clusters. Living conditions was a particularly significant predictor of injury and displacement, indicating a strong relationship between risk and socioeconomic status. Contrary to expectations, urban, periurban, and rural clusters did not exhibit significantly different injury and displacement rates. Proxies of socioeconomic status, particularly the living conditions index score, proved relevant in explaining displacement, likely due to unmeasured aspects of housing construction practices and building materials.

Operational Ethics for Disaster Research

Operational ethics for disaster research is suggested as an important area for further investigation. The main questions are suggested as: 1. Could carrying out disaster research interfere with disaster and risk management activities? 2. Could publishing disaster research interfere with disaster and risk management activities? 3. Should researchers take responsibility for the operational outcomes of their research? The example of technical rescue illustrates how these questions might be addressed in order to better understand operational ethics for disaster research. Experiences from field work on active volcanoes are presented as a research area where operational ethics have been applied, although improvements are needed. Researcher good governance is an approach which consolidates many of the issues discussed. Although disaster researchers might feel that no further governance steps are necessary, these questions should be openly debated.

“…Traditional Chinese medicine believes that damp heat and toxicity are the main pathogenic factors of DFU. CPCF can clear away dampness, heat, and toxins, promoting wound healing, and reduces the amputation rate [ 13 ]. Kangfuxin solution (KSF) can significantly promote the growth of granulation tissue, promote angiogenesis, accelerate the shedding of necrotic tissue, and repair ulcers when used externally.…”

Background The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical application of cortex phellodendri compound fluid (CPCF) in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Material/Methods From January 2012 to December 2015, a total of 720 cases of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) were randomly assigned into an experimental group (n=540) that was treated by CPCF and a control group (n=180) that was treated by a Kangfuxin solution (KFS). After 4 weeks of treatment, their ulcer area, serum growth factor, clinical total effective rate, and incidence of adverse events were assessed. Result There were 720 patients who completed the trial. The experimental group was superior to the control group in reducing ulcer area, increasing growth factor content, and total effective rate (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the adverse events rates between the 2 groups. Conclusion CPCF external treatment of diabetic foot ulcer can promote ulcer healing and increase the concentration of growth factors, and it is safe and reliable.
