Although primary care models for the care of common non-communicable diseases (NCD) have been developed in sub-Saharan Africa, few have described an integrated, decentralized approach at the community level. We report the results of a four-year, Ethiopian project to expand this model of NCD car...
The questionnaire consisted of open-ended questions in both Arabic and French languages. The questionnaires, as well as the collected samples, were anonymous and systematically stored in a coded clinical record form in order to guarantee participants’ personal data protection. Phenotypic data collection...
Air pollution can increase the risk of stroke and stroke mortality [95,96,97]. Air pollution is divided into gaseous pollution and particulate pollution according to the form, and the representatives of gaseous pollutants are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone [98]. The...
Its mature health system addressing the growing epidemic of NCDs has achieved a relatively healthy lifestyle and a lower NCD-related premature mortality in general population. China, on the other hand, is a middle-income country with a large population and limited healthcare resources. It is ...
Non- communicable diseases (NCDs) are the main cause of death, which lead to over 73% of death and 62% of DALYs globally. As an unhealthy diet is the leading behavioral risk factor of NCDs, in line with the national action plan for the prevention and control of NCD, this study explored...
The biological effects observed in the aforementioned PDNVs form the basis for their tissue protection and repair properties. However, some studies have only conducted a superficial assessment of the PDNVs' activity without delving into the specific underlying mechanisms. It remains unknown whether the...
Regarding irrigation, the International Commission for Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) set up a method for assessing the full financial costs, in the form of guidelines. This paper investigates the applicability of these guidelines in smallholder irrigation conditions in developing countries.The paper ...
(e.g., Mann-Whitney U), zero-inflated negative binomial regression, multiple logistic regression, multiple linear regression, and generalized linear modeling (GLM) will be used to assess the associations between HIV status and the clinical oral health outcome measures depending on the form of the...
Intraocular lens (IOL) calcification is a form of opacification in which the precipitation of calcium and phosphate from aqueous humor occurs within or at the surface of hydrophilic acrylic IOLs, leading to the formation of calcium phosphate crystals [1, 2]. The crystal formation within the IOL ...
The number of ligand-receptor pairs between every two cell types was shown in the form of heatmap. The weights/strength of ligand-receptor pairs between every two cell types was shown in the form of circos plot. Deconvolutions of bulk RNA-seq transcriptomics DWLS (Dampened weighted least ...
