The phrase "Networks of Care" seems familiar but remains poorly defined. A health system that exemplifies effective Networks Care (NOC) purposefully and effectively interconnects service delivery touch points within a catchment area to fill critical gaps create continuity in patient care. To more fully elaborate the concept Care, we conducted multi-method scoping study included literature review, stakeholder interviews, descriptive case studies from five low- middle-income countries. Our...
Dual HIV and syphilis testing might help to prevent mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of through increased case detection treatment. We aimed model assess the cost-effectiveness dual during antenatal care in four countries with varying prevalence.In this modelling study, we developed Markov models pregnant women estimate costs infant health outcomes maternal at first visit individual tests (base case) a rapid diagnostic test (scenario one). additionally evaluated retesting late delivery...
Fifty-six sites, representing 53 wetlands, were surveyed in the southern Carnarvon Basin 1994 and 1995 with aim of documenting waterbird aquatic invertebrate fauna region.Most sites both winter summer, although some contained water only one occasion.Altogether 57 species recorded, 29 292 waterbirds 25 on Lake MacLeod October 1994.River pools shown to be relatively important for waterbirds, while many freshwater claypans little used.At least 492 collected.The was characterized by low...
Abstract Macroinvertebrate assemblages downstream from the Canning Dam, on River, Western Australia, were sampled to assess impact of long‐term impoundment and role a major tributary in community recovery. Kick samples associated physical measurements taken riffle zones three reaches March July 1989. The lower reach was located immediately confluence with Stinton Creek, first below dam, middle upper positioned between dam. Reduced concentrations dissolved oxygen March, compared attributed...
Summary 1. Numerous methods have been developed to sample the biota occurring in different ecosystems. However, comparability of data derived from sampling is generally unknown and a major concern when integrating studies. 2. Examination assemblage‐level attributes such as taxa richness biotic index scores inappropriate for evaluating degree which produce comparable descriptions entire assemblages, because these measures provide no information regarding taxonomic composition. Multivariate...
To understand how environmental change will modify community assembly and the distribution of organisms it is valuable to mechanisms that drive occurrence across landscape. Salinisation agricultural land in southwest Western Australia, as a result clearing, widespread change, which threatens numerous taxa, but provides an opportunity elucidate such mechanisms. Although salinisation affects terrestrial fauna flora, greatest impacts are seen wetlands waterways. Many aquatic insect taxa...
Alterations in transmission of vector-borne zoonoses are often linked to environmental change. However, ecological processes that determine variability potential for generally not well understood. Ross River virus (RRV, Togoviridae: Alphavirus) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis Australia with significant human disease burden. The inland southwest (Wheatbelt) Western (WA) substantially affected by an anthropogenic salinization agricultural land (dryland salinity). Aedes camptorhynchus Thomson...

In Nigeria, two maternal and neonatal health Networks of Care (NOC) focus on extending the reach quality routine emergency services tailored to different contexts. This paper uses four domains NOC framework—Agreements Enabling Environment, Operational Standards, Quality, Efficiency Responsibility, Learning Adaptation—to describe NOC, highlighting how each developed address specific local needs. Northern were established in collaboration among Clinton Health Access Initiative government...
Abstract Introduction HIV retesting during late pregnancy and breastfeeding can help detect new maternal infections prevent mother‐to‐child transmission (MTCT), but the optimal timing cost‐effectiveness of remain uncertain. Methods We constructed deterministic models to assess health economic impact on a hypothetical population pregnant women, following initial testing in pregnancy, MTCT four countries: South Africa Kenya (high/intermediate prevalence), Colombia Ukraine (low prevalence)....
Reducing maternal and neonatal mortality is a critical health priority within Zambia globally. Although evidence-based clinical interventions can prevent majority of these deaths, scalable sustainable delivery across low-resource settings remains uneven, particularly rural marginalized communities. The Zambian Ministry Health the Clinton Access Initiative implemented an integrated sexual, reproductive, maternal, newborn (SRMNH) program in Northern Province aimed at dramatically reducing over...
Abstract Benthic macroinvertebrates were quantitatively sampled from thirty sites along two river systems in southwestern Australia, and patterns community structure related to physical chemical parameters. Classification ordination showed a major separation between upland lowland sites, irrespective of system. The change benthic reflected the rapid transition geomorphology, stream hydraulics, water chemistry as forested streams exit Darling Escarpment give rise open rivers, disturbed by...
Introduction Nigeria contributes more obstetric, postpartum and neonatal deaths stillbirths globally than any other country. The Clinton Health Access Initiative in partnership with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of state Governments Kano, Katsina, Kaduna implemented an integrated Maternal Neonatal program from July 2014. Up to 90% women deliver at home Northern Nigeria, where maternal mortality ratio rates (MMR NMR) are high severe challenges improving survival exist. Methods Community-based...
The Kimberley region of Western Australia possesses a poorly studied freshwater fish fauna with high endemism in an aquatic landscape subject to monsoonal floods and dry season isolation. In the first population genetic study this region, authors tested effects geographic barriers on structure at multiple spatial scales east populations western rainbowfish, Melanotaenia australis , most widespread abundant species region. Based allozyme comparisons, hierarchical analysis F ST revealed...
Studies that consider both biotic and abiotic determinants of organisms are rare, but critical to delineate underlying community richness (number taxa) abundance larvae per water body).

Similar mosquitoes, contrary general perceptions, nonculicid aquatic fauna (aquatic fauna) had a common occurrence or...
