Introduction: The effect of stigma on health and inequity is increasingly recognized. While many medical conditions trigger stigmatization, the negative effects HIV are particularly well documented. undermines access, uptake, adherence to both prevention treatment. People living with face in all aspects their daily lives; however, system detrimental. A key component for facility stigma-reduction interventions participatory training staff, often through several days in-person training. Though...
A growing body of evidence highlights the importance competent mentoring in academic research. We describe development, implementation, and evaluation four regional 2-day intensive workshops to train mid- senior-level investigators conducting public health, clinical, basic science research across multiple institutions low- middle-income countries (LMICs) on tools techniques effective mentoring. Sponsored by Fogarty International Center, included didactic presentations, interactive...
Following the Fogarty International Center-supported "Mentoring Mentors" workshops in South America, Africa, and Asia, approaches guidelines for mentorship at institutions within these low- middle-income country (LMIC) contexts, appropriate respective regional resources culture, were implemented. Through presentation of case studies from three geographic regions, this article illustrates institutional infrastructure before workshop identified gaps used to implement strategies build capacity...
In India, women in rural areas have high rates of depression. They poor access to mental healthcare resources and, hence, health symptoms remain largely unaddressed. Existing mobile telephone applications (apps) do not engage end-users, lack local language options, may be socioculturally relevant and use audiovisual formats. We thus developed a app, Multiuser Interactive Health Response Application (MITHRA), screen provide brief behavioural intervention for mild moderate depression among...
Thin films deposited by ion beam sputtering typically have a high compressive stress. This paper demonstrates that this stress can be reduced cosputtering two materials. film mixtures of zirconia (ZrO2) and silica (SiO2) were prepared with range compositions using sputtering. The refractive index was found to vary almost linearly composition. large observed in significantly the addition silica.
A growing number of low- and middle-income country (LMIC) institutions have developed implemented formal programs to support mentorship. Although the individual-level benefits mentorship are well established, such activities can also sustainably build institutional capacity, bridge inequities in health care, catalyze scientific advancement. To date, however, evaluation these remains limited, representing an important gap our understanding about impact mentoring. Without rigorous ongoing...
Inflammation is a key component of immune response to infections and pathogenesis metabolic cardiovascular diseases. Inflammatory biomarkers, including alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), are considered prognostic tools for predicting risk, monitoring therapy, adjusting nutritional biomarkers accurate interpretation. Serum primary source biomarkers; urine saliva increasingly being explored utilized as rapidly accessible, noninvasive biofluids requiring minimal sample processing posing fewer...
HIV stigma has long been recognized as a significant barrier in the worldwide fight against HIV. Across cultures, shown to cause psychological distress and act engagement care. Health professionals can serve crucial source of stigma, with drivers that include fears transmission misconceptions pre-existing negative attitudes towards marginalized groups. To increase their impact, reduction interventions need be scalable sustainable well adaptable different cultural contexts. The DriSti...
