The aortic valve was long considered a passive structure that opens and closes in response to changes in transvalvular pressure. Recent evidence suggests that the aortic valve performs highly sophisticated functions as a result of its unique microscopic structure. These functions allow it to adapt to its hemodynamic and mechanical environment. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in normal valve physiology is essential to elucidate the mechanisms behind valve disease.

Acute kidney injury causes great morbidity and mortality in both the community and hospital settings. Understanding the etiological factors and the pathophysiological principles resulting in acute kidney injury is essential in prompting appropriate therapies. Recently hyperuricemia has been recognized as a potentially modifiable risk factor for acute kidney injury, including that associated with cardiovascular surgery, radiocontrast administration, rhabdomyolysis, and associated with heat stress.

Every organization has a culture unique to itself, and this is true of divisions within large corporations. The important thing to understand about culture is that in most cases there in nothing absolutely right or wrong about cultures – they just are. It is only in a relative sense that you can say something is wrong in another culture (Lewis, P. James, 2008). Differences in national culture influence not only the surface behavior but there are also essential conditions for understanding the values adopted by business people.

Pandemic planning should consider the need for stockpiling of essential supplies. Discuss with key suppliers a plan for regular shipments in the event of shortages or disruptions in transportation systems. Shortages may occur because of disruptions in transportation systems or inability of suppliers to meet demands because of their own staff shortages. Canadian supplies travel long distances by truck, train and aircraft and are vulnerable to any disruption.

The main tasks for the third audit step are to collect data about communications practices, and to use that data to make assessments about organizational performance and capacity. It involves actually using the scale described above to gauge where the organization stands on all essential strategic communications practices. The figure on the next page illustrates in matrix form how this assessment might be structured. Note that this audit step could also involve looking at actual communications strategy content or materials and making assessments about their quality.

After the fall of Communist regime and the easing of travel restrictions, Albanians started moving abroad in large numbers to seek employment opportunities. The most common destinations for Albanian workers are Greece and Italy. It is estimated that out of a total population of 3.2 million people in Albania, one million have emigrated to Greece and Italy (Lianos and Glystos, 2004). An estimated $700 million of annual remittances flows into Albania had been essential in stabilizing the Albanian economy during the mid-1990s, particularly as a source of foreign exchange.
