For 80 years, the tuberculin skin test has been the go-to method for diagnosing TB, but issues of efficiency, accuracy, and compliance persist. Increased use of interferon-γ release assays could revolutionize how health care workers are screened and improve infection control practices in health ...
With the intensification of the greenhouse effect, a series of natural phenomena, such as global warming, are gradually recognized; when the ambient temperature increases to the extent that it causes heat stress in plants, agricultural production will in
HIV-positive people can easily be screened for TB; if they are infected, they can be given prophylactic treatment to prevent development of the disease or curative drugs if they already have the disease. TB patients can be offered an HIV test; indeed, research shows that TB patients are ...
In this paper a computer system for cervical screening call and recall based on the Community Health Index (CHI) population data-base is described. It allows the unscreened population to be identified and located on an individual general practice basis. The results of the call programme on 9517...
TT3.1 is transferred from the cell membrane to the multivesicular body (MVB) after sensing a high temperature, and TT3.2 is introduced into the MVB and ubiquitinated, ultimately degrading TT3.2 in vacuoles, weakening its accumulation in chloroplasts, and helping to improve the heat tolerance of ri...
Titles and abstracts of resultant studies were screened in duplicate using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses diagram (eFigure in the Supplement) summarizes our search, and the PICO table summarizes the PICO (population, ...
(2) while we screened for duplicate TMF citations and noted the frequency of several high profile, verifiable TMF sources, we did not perform any secondary study auditing of referred TMF, in keeping with a pragmatic review approach; (3) the explicit citation of tool-related TMF was one of ...
To determine why our best-performing molecule exhibits the best stability among the 21 screened materials, we perform in-depth materials characterization, examining both the surface and the bulk. Figure 1a shows the overview of the study and objectives for finding the design guidelines of capping ...
Tuberculosis, or TB, is a dreaded contagious disease of the lungs and other organs. The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (or M. tuberculosis), infects roughly a third of the world's population and one-in-ten to one-in-twenty of the infected po
The use of corporate power to undermine public health policy processes is increasingly well understood; however, relatively little scholarship examines how advocates can leverage power to promote the successful adoption of public health policies. The obj
