Unit 7: Thesis:: Safe injection sites reduce harm in the community caused by drug addiction.
Point 1: Addicts often engage in unsafe behaviors such as needle sharing, and are at serious risk of infection
Point 2: Safe injection sites are a harm reduction tool, providing clean needles and a safe environment for addicts, and offer opportunities for detox and counseling

Therefore, Hexsel's study will not be included in this analysis for failure to meet the study protocol. Another human study involved a case study of a single patient. This Brazilian study represented a case study and does not meet the protocol for inclusion in this analysis either (Rittes, 2001).

Introduction Gallbladder disease, especially cholelithiasis (gallstones) affects over 20 million Americans every year. The condition often goes undiagnosed because cholelithiasis rarely presents symptoms. Abdominal discomfort, nausea, jaundice and biliary colic are some symptoms of the condition.

However, laboratory values such as CBC, serum amylase, liver-function testing and lipase can help differentiate the type of gallbladder disease/or identify related issues. Surgery
