Disease relevance of Local Government

  • Between December 1999 and September 2000, an investigation on 326 inhabitants who voluntarily participated in screening for eye lesions and onchocerciasis in a rural farm settlement in Aniocha North local government area of Delta State, Nigeria was carried out [1].
 

High impact information on Local Government

  • SETTING--The study was conducted over the period 1988 to 1990 in the Western Metropolitan Health Region of New South Wales, Australia. PARTICIPANTS--A total sample of 3283 subjects stratified by local government area, age, and sex was obtained from the source population [2].
  • To determine the prevalence of epilepsy and its association with indices of malnutrition, infection and perinatal complications in children in Calicut District, Kerala, India, a door-to-door two-stage survey was conducted in two local government districts [3].
  • SUBJECTS: People living in the Newcastle and Lake Macquarie local government areas of New South Wales, Australia. INTERVENTION: At 10.27 a.m. on 28 December 1989 Newcastle was struck by an earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale [4].
  • To improve the nursing care quality in acute care hospitals in Taiwan after the 2003 SARS epidemic, the Taipei City Government Department of Health has allocated about US dollars 6 million for nurse aides' salaries and costs for recruitment, training, and administration of this program [5].
  • The objective of this paper is to design a training method for the prevention and control of diarrhoea diseases for Local Government (LGA) workers [6].
 

Biological context of Local Government

 

Associations of Local Government with chemical compounds

  • The Ohaozara Local Government Area (LGA) introduced a Five-Year Action Plan (FYAP) in 1989 [8].
  • Window on Washington ... HR 963: Local Government Waste Control Act [9].
  • Following international negotiations in 1991, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in early 1992 between the Republic of the Marshall Islands Government, the Rongelap Atoll Local Government, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Department of the Interior [10].
  • DESIGN: A community, randomised trial with three matched pairs of geographically distinct local government areas in Victoria. INTERVENTION: Printed information recommending folate intake to decrease the risk of NTDs was disseminated in 1997 to women of child-bearing age [11].
  • A Regent of the College who is involved in county government explains how he became involved in local politics and why participation at this level matters [12].
 

Gene context of Local Government

  • Town Hall, Whitehall, and the NHS: health implications of controlling local government [13].
  • Trace metals distribution in Synodontis membranaceus, sediments, Asystasia gangetica and Platostoma africanium from Ofuafor River around Delta Glass Factory in Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State Nigeria [14].
  • Linking 1991 population statistics to the 1998 local government geography of Great Britain [15].
  • The results of questionnaire surveys based on BAPP concepts suggest that local government is perceived as having the highest priority for protection of riparian lands and waterways (as individual Councils and Regional Organisations of Councils) [16].
  • To appraise the Ohaozara Five-Year Action Plan, 600 persons stratified by geographical location and sex were interviewed in three randomly selected autonomous communities in the Ohaozara Local Government Area to determine their knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) [8].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Local Government

  • Data for this report were obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 600 in-school adolescents in Nsukka local government area (LGA) of Enugu State, Nigeria. Ninety and 45 of the adolescents were randomly selected for determining plasma concentrations of vitamin A and C and intake of these vitamins respectively [17].
  • Eleven sampling points in the city were used to determine PAH composition by reverse-phase, high-resolution liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection, employing an acetonitrile-water gradient; nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide were determined by the Valencia city government [18].
