The aim of this study was to investigate the epidemiology oral yeast colonization and infection amongst cancer patients.Patients with solid tumor, head-neck or hematological malignancy were recruited into study. Demographic data on age, gender, type cancer, preceding treatment antibiotics, anti-fungal agents, chemotherapy, radiation surgery presence dentures recorded admission. Oral examination microbial swabs obtained culture, identification antifungal susceptibility performed.Oral...
Resource allocation in health is universally challenging, but especially so resource-constrained contexts the Global South. Pursuing a strategy of evidence-based decision-making and using tools such as Health Technology Assessment (HTA), can help address issues relating to both affordability equity when allocating resources. Three BRICS South countries, China, India Africa have committed strengthening HTA capacity developing their domestic systems, with goal getting evidence translated into...
Conducting bioinformatic analyses involves biologists in expressing requests over a range of highly heterogeneous information sources and software tools. Such activities are laborious, require detailed knowledge the data structures call interfaces different sources. The TAMBIS (Transparent Access to Multiple Bioinformatics Information Sources) project seeks make diversity structures, locations bioinformatics transparent users. In TAMBIS, queries expressed terms an ontology implemented using...
An increasing investment in health technology assessment (HTA) low-income and middle-income countries has generated greater interest from policy-makers about the value return on (ROI) of HTA. Few studies have, however, quantified benefits HTA terms its to system. This evaluation aims quantify impact ROI achieved by agency India (HTAIn). A framework developed University Glasgow was used review three ‘hta’s commissioned HTAIn between 2018 2020, taking into account opportunity cost investing...
Objective To determine whether ethnic group differences in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) changed over a 5-year period people on medication for type 2 diabetes. Design Open cohort 2004–9. Setting Electronic records of 100 the 101 general practices two inner London boroughs. Participants People aged 35 to 74 years Main outcome measures Mean HbA1c and proportion with controlled ≤7.5%. Results In this 24,111 people, 22% were White, 58% South Asian 17% Black African/Caribbean. From 2004 2009 mean...
The resources for critical care are limited in many settings, exacerbating the significant morbidity and mortality associated with illness. Budget constraints can lead to choices between investing advanced (e.g. mechanical ventilators intensive units) or more basic such as Essential Emergency Critical Care (EECC; e.g. vital signs monitoring, oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids).We investigated cost effectiveness of providing EECC Tanzania comparison 'no care' 'district hospital-level using...
In 1994, the African National Congress (ANC) won South Africa's first ever democratic election. It inherited a health service that was indelibly marked with inequities of apartheid era, highly privatized and distorted toward hospital needs urban Whites. The ANC's manifesto promised major improvements, but this study finds only two significant equity improvements: (1) primary care had funding increased by 83 percent better staffed; (2) workers became significantly more race-representative...
New RTS,S malaria vaccines may soon be licensed, yet its cost-effectiveness is unknown. Before the widespread introduction of vaccines, studies are needed to help inform governments in resource-poor settings about how best prioritize between new vaccine and existing interventions. A Markov model simulated progression a hypothetical Malawian birth cohort. Parameters were based on published data. Three strategies compared: no intervention, vaccination at one year, long-lasting,...
Abstract Objective By means of a controlled trial, to investigate the efficacy, tolerability and feasibility multi‐component sleep therapy intervention versus basic hygiene education in PD patients with disturbances their live‐in carers. Methods Patient‐carer dyads were randomised either two interventions. Quantitative measures sleep, psychiatric overall functioning administered at baseline weeks after Results Sleep improved significantly both groups. Between group comparisons carers...

Objectives To assess whether in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c>7.5%) improvement HbA1c varies by ethnic and social group. Design Prospective 2-year cohort of treated general practice. Setting participants All patients 100 the 101 practices two London boroughs. The sample consisted an ethnically diverse group uncontrolled aged 37–71 years 2007 recording 2008–2009. Outcome measure Change from baseline achievement control 2008 2009 were estimated for each ethnic,...
The economic determinants of health have been widely recognised as crucial factors affecting health; however, to date, no comprehensive review has undertaken summarise these and the ways in which they can influence health. We conceptualise economy a complex system made up underlying approaches, regulation from institutions, markets, finance, labour, public-private balance well production distributional effects, collectively impact on through effect moderators. This protocol details methods...
Abstract Inequalities in infant mortality rates (IMRs) are rising some low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) decreasing others, but the explanation for these divergent trends is unclear. We investigate whether government expenditures redistribution associated with reductions inequalities IMRs. estimated country-level fixed-effects panel regressions 48 LMICs (142 country observations). Slope Relative Indices of Inequality IMRs (SII RII) were calculated from Demographic Health Surveys...
A central pillar in the response to 2014 Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic Sierra Leone was role of Holding Units (EHUs). These units isolated patients meeting a suspect case definition, tested them for EVD, initiated appropriate early treatment and discharged negative onward inpatient care or home. Positive were referred Treatment Centres. We aimed estimate risk nosocomial transmission within these EHUs.We followed up cohort 543 with EVD test from five EHUs Western Area, Leone, examined...
