The World Health Organization has set ambitious targets for the global elimination of tuberculosis. However, these will not be achieved at current rate progress.We performed a cluster-randomized, controlled trial in Ca Mau Province, Vietnam, to evaluate effectiveness active community-wide screening, as compared with standard passive case detection alone, reducing prevalence Persons 15 years age or older who resided 60 intervention clusters (subcommunes) were screened pulmonary tuberculosis,...
Apprenticeship, the process of developing from novice to proficiency under guidance a skilled expert, varies across cultures and among different communities, but for many communities practice, apprenticeship offers an ideal ethnographic point entry. For certain kinds anthropological fieldwork, such as studies bodily arts, may offer essential research method. In this article, three anthropologists discuss their experiences using in fieldwork consider practical theoretical issues site inquiry....
Meltdown tells the story of financial crash that destroyed West's investment banks, brought global economy to its knees, and undermined three decades neoliberal orthodoxy. Covering credit crunch aftershocks from economic front line, BBC journalist Paul Mason explores roots US UK's hubris, documenting real-world causes consequences Ford factory, Wall Street, City London. In response immense challenge now facing existing system, he outlines a new era hyper-regulated capitalism could emerge wreckage.
Ovulation was successfully induced with luteinising hormone releasing in 28 women hypothalamic amenorrhoea who had failed to respond treatment clomiphene. Luteinising administered a pulsatile manner miniaturised automatic infusion systems. The rate of ovarian follicular maturation, as monitored by serial pelvic ultrasonography, similar that observed spontaneous cycles. Endocrine assessment measurement gonadotrophin, oestradiol, and progesterone concentrations showed be within the normal...
Two isolates of bacterial endosymbionts, GP01 and GM02, were established in cell free medium from haemolymph the tsetse, Glossina pallidipes G. morsitans. These microorganisms appear similar to rickettsia-like organisms reported previously various tsetse species. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis, however, placed them within gamma subdivision Proteobacteria, phylogenetically distinct most members Rickettsiaceae which align with alpha subdivision. Distinct multiple endogenous plasmids are...
Introduction Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) plays a substantial role in the prevention drug-susceptible (TB). However, clinical trials to evaluate efficacy preventive therapy for presumed multidrug-resistant (MDR) LTBI are lacking. This trial aims antibiotic levofloxacin preventing development active TB among latently infected contacts index patients with MDR-TB. Methods and analysis A double-blind placebo-controlled parallel group randomised controlled will be conducted...
Abstract Background Biobanks provide an important foundation for genomic and personalised medicine. In order to enhance their scientific power scope, they are increasingly becoming part of national or international networks. Public trust is essential in fostering public engagement, encouraging donation to, facilitating funding biobanks. Globalisation networking biobanking may challenge this trust. Methods We report the results Australian study examining attitudes globalisation The used...
Euro-American performance arts are exceptional among the world's cultures in that music and dance separable constitute independent disciplines. In late-nineteenth early-twentieth centuries, a distinct consciousness emerged demonstrated an awareness of varying protean relationships can share. While some artists were keen to develop their particular medium its fullest potential, others group expressive mediums together into new wholes. These explorations accompanied by rapid but uneven...
Often relegated to the methods section of genetic research articles, term “degeneracy” is regularly misunderstood and its theoretical significance widely understated. Degeneracy describes ability different structures be conditionally interchangeable in their contribution system functions. Frequently mislabeled redundancy, degeneracy refers structural variation whereas redundancy duplication. Sources include, but are not limited to, (1) duplicate that differentiate yet remain isofunctional,...
Summary 1. Mongooses of 2 species (Ichneumia albicauda and Mungos mungo), exposed to EMC virus either by the oral route or parenteral inoculation, have proved be extremely susceptible a severe myocarditis. 2. The role which these animals may play in maintaining nature, predation on other mammals becoming intestinal carriers, is discussed relation experimental data. 3. An endoparasite commonly found mongooses, Porocephalus armillatus, was contain when recovered from infected animals. 4....
Biomedical innovations are unlikely to provide effective and ethical tuberculosis (TB) control measures without complementary social science research. However, a strong interest in interdisciplinary work is often undermined by differences language concepts specific each disciplinary approach. Accordingly, biological scientists need learn how communicate with other. This article will outline key relating TB from medical anthropology health sociology. Distilling these an introductory framework...
Evidence from studies of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA extracted Neanderthal fossils humans points to fascinating hypotheses concerning the types interbreeding that occurred between these two species. Humans Neanderthals share a small percentage DNA. However, do not possess same mitochondrial In mammals, is exclusively maternally inherited. Taking into account an understanding interspecific hybridity, available data leads hypothesis only male were able mate with female humans. If Haldan's...
