First, knowledge of health care utilization is essential for planning and management.
Increased thermal stratification especially on surface waters and utilization of essential nutrients by phytoplankton makes the Bay of Bengal oligotrophic during summer when there is no external input.
Other fundamental functions of mitochondria include the metabolism and utilization of essential branched chain amino acids (e.g., valine, leucince, isoleucine/norleucine) for protein synthesis that are perhaps crucial for architectural maintenance of cellular integrity and function.
In spring 2009, students in six New Orleans public high schools were surveyed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of School Based Health Centers (SBHCs) in increasing access to and utilization of essential health services, promoting healthy lifestyles, and facilitating good decision-making skills in a complex urban environment.
Results indicate that adolescents with access to SBHCs report higher rates of utilization of essential health services, particularly vital mental health services, but they are also less likely to engage in behaviors that put their health at risk, including drug use, risky sexual activity, violence, smoking, unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise.
Relative changes in the expression of the phenotypes, however, varied from 2-fold decrease (for aerobic growth in the dark) to 10-fold increase (for benzoate utilization) indicating essential differences in the number of bacterial cells implementing the phenotypes in each growth condition.
Improving healthcare utilization is essential as health systems around the world grapple with the escalating demands for acute hospital resources.
Therefore, expansion of health facilities and promotion of their utilization are essential in areas where home delivery is a common practice and enabling environments are scarce.
However, less is known about effective facility- and community-level interventions for overcoming these barriers and increasing utilization of essential maternal health services (Ensor and Cooper 2004).
[ 5] Utilization of essential services for maternal and newborn survival such as skilled delivery attendance and emergency obstetric care is not always possible even among women living within 5 km of health facilities.
