Health status: does it predict choice in further education?
School imposes great demands on young people, thus revealing differences in personal health resources. Adaptation to the norms of a society in which education is highly valued is related to satisfying health status. In a welfare state that offers equal educational opportunities for everyone, however, chronically ill adolescents can add to their resources for coping through schooling. Health related selection thus works differently for various indicators of health and in various kinds of societies. Social class differences in health in the future may be more dependent on personally experienced health problems than on medically diagnosed diseases.
This study demonstrated the antimicrobial effectiveness of an SA and SCMC dressing in inhibiting the growth of burn isolates residing in both the quasi/non-biofilm and biofilm phenotypic states. It also suggests the SA dressing could be more effective on Gram-positive isolates grown in the biofilm phenotypic state, compared with SCMC dressing.
