In 2017, the South African National Department of Health (NDoH) Cervical Cancer Prevention and Control Policy was revised. Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing on self-collected samples may offer improved screening uptake. The objectives of the study were to compare the positivity of high-risk (hr)...
Compared to standard neuro-diagnostic techniques, retinal biomarkers provide a probable low-cost and non-invasive alternative for early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk screening. We have previously quantified the periarteriole and perivenule capillary fre
None of the participants in any cluster were classified as having a positive fall risk based on walking speed or TUG values. However, among those with a positive fall risk based on their CB&M total score, Clusters 2 and 3 had more cases than Cluster 1, and residual analysis indicated that...
512 A-scans per b-scan, 12-µm spacing between b-scans, and 5 frames averaged per each b-scan location of the central fovea and of paired major arterioles and venules with their surrounding capillaries inferior to the fovea of 57 eyes of 37 CU low-risk (mean age: 66 years) and...

Prophylactic high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy can decrease the risk of extubation failure. It is frequently used in the postextubation phase alone or in combination with noninvasive ventilation. However, its physiological effects in this setting have not been thoroughly investigated. The...
The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled the integration of several types of active sensors into a single network, allowing users to be warned of impending risk through smart technologies2. One category of sensors, gas sensors (a sub-class of chemical sensors), has ...
Despite the uncertainties presented in this study, climate models have been and will continue to be an important tool for assessing risk in the face of extreme events.Similar content being viewed by others Assessing current and future trends of climate extremes across Brazil based on reanalyses and...
DCF in the aquatic ecosystem (Sathishkumar et al.2020) and thus should be properly monitored and treated as the prevalence of such higher pharmaceutical levels can cause serious ecological risk for aquatic life including algae, fish, etc. in the receiving freshwater bodies (Singh and Suthar2021)...
and unavailable histology was determined by multiple imputation to adjust for verification bias. Cross-sectional test performance was calculated for single and combination test strategies with and without intermediate risk categories using different cut-offs. Minimum acceptability for sensitivity and specificity...
