Although patients recently treated for TB are at high risk of developing TB again, evidence around effective active case finding (ACF) strategies in this population is scarce. We will conduct a hybrid type I effectiveness-implementation non-inferiority randomized trial to compare the effectiveness, ...
Central nervous system (CNS) tuberculosis (TB) is the worst form of TB and may present as (1) intracranial pathology, including tuberculous meningitis (TBM), tuberculoma/abscess, and rarely cerebritis or encephalopathy (described in children) and, (2) in

The cardiac phenotype seems to predominate in this family with the unfortunate recent death of a child with HLHS (V:1). This makes it essential that the family are counselled on the variability of this condition, as there may be a risk of complex heart defects in future offspring/generations...
The risk of stress and anxiety due to discussion about HIV, HIV testing, and disclosure of HIV status is minimized by conducting all discussions in a private space. Recruitment prior to HIV testing also reduced the burden on the participant. There is a risk of breach of confidentiality due ...
Diagnostic testing may also be useful to predict the risk of clubfoot recurrence in families. However, interpreting the significance of chromosome 17q23.1q23.2 CNVs is complicated by incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity, characteristics that are commonly described in CNVs associated with ...
In addition, health facilities may wish to consider the periodic assessment of coverage of TB screening and TPT within their ART cohorts based on how many patients have been covered by these services rather than coverage among visits. In particular, the possibility of counting the same patient as...
For example, the service innovation project Mwana, addressing maternal and child health issues in rural Zambia (UNICEF Zambia, 2012 [61]), broke with UNICEF’s previous top-down approach to service delivery and flipped the model to form an end-user-driven service system. The team developed a...
