This often results in the formation of a pressure ulcer. A pressure ulcer is defined as any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure resulting in underlying tissue damage. Complications related to pressure ulcers cause an estimated 60,000 deaths and cost over $1.3 billion annually.1 However, most pressure ulcers are treatable and Invacare even preventable. Therapeutic Support Surfaces are a proven way to help prevent and treat pressure ulcers. ® Therapeutic Support Surfaces Causes of Pressure Ulcers Pressure ulcers can be caused by four factors, either individually or in • Shear: Occurs when adjacent surfaces slide across one another, combination: typically when a patient slides down in bed or chair.

National notifiable diseases surveillance system (NNDSS) data in developing countries are usually incomplete, yet the total number of fatal cases reported is commonly used in national priority-setting. Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is largely underrecognized by policy-makers due to the underreporting of fatal cases via the NNDSS. Methods. Collaborating with the Epidemiology Division (ED), Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), we conducted a retrospec- tive study to determine the incidence and mortality of melioidosis cases already identified by clinical microbiology laboratories nationwide. A case of melioidosis was defined as a patient with any clinical specimen culture positive for B. -
