AbstractIn Cusco, Peru, and South America in general, there is a dearth of travelers' diarrhea (TD) data concerning the clinical features associated with enteropathogen-specific infections destination-specific risk behaviors. Understanding these factors would allow travel medicine providers to tailor interventions patients' profiles destination. To characterize TD etiology, evaluate region-specific factors, examine relationships between preventive recommendations risk-taking behaviors among...
Background Globally, an estimated 2.7 million babies die in the neonatal period annually, and of these, about 0.7 from intrapartum-related events. In Tanzania 51,000 newborn deaths 43,000 stillbirths occur every year. Approximately two-thirds these could be potentially prevented with improvements intrapartum care. Routine measurement fetal that health facilities can help to evaluate efforts improve quality care save lives. However, few examples exist indicators on perinatal mortality...
Obesity and diabetes are common diagnoses in the primary care population, especially urban settings. Physicians providing preventive culinary nutrition education to patients may be able uniquely address these medical issues; however, among residency programs is insufficient.We describe a pilot of novel interactive approach focused on medicine residents who were trained provide skills community members three separate workshops.

# Background Globally, an estimated 2.7 million neonates died in 2015 during the neonatal period, including approximately 0.7 intrapartum deaths. In Tanzania, 46,000 2016. Nearly two-thirds of these deaths could have been prevented through improvements quality care at time delivery. Scaling up use Doppler for fetal assessment may support such improvements. We describe and assess inputs processes used to integrate into workflow maternal triage upon admission Tanzanian labor delivery wards....
