Underdiagnosis and undertreatment of patients with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are widely discussed in the literature. Not much is known about possible overdiagnosis consequently overtreatment inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Aim. This study investigates how often ICS prescribed without a proper indication big diagnostic problem caused by inappropriate prescription use ICS.All referred to primary care centre during 6 months who used clear were included. Their GPs questioned...
Twenty-two of 24 cases Mycobacterium ulcerans infection in Ibadan are reviewed. The patients included Africans, Caucasians, and Indians. There were no differences between races the manifestations disease. average age was higher than that other reports literature. fact most originally wrongly diagnosed reemphasizes need to search for M. "tropical" ulcer fail respond adequate therapy. Early recognition surgery mainstay treatment. Comexazole seems more effective clofazimine treatment these ulcers.
The antimalarial activity of pyrimethamine in combination either with dapsone or sulphormethoxine, was compared that alone. In this double-blind controlled study, 280 children, living an area stable P. falciparum malaria, were observed during one year. With alone there incomplete suppression parasitaemia crude parasite rates ranging from 2 to 25%. first dose the drug combinations produced a rapid clearance parasitaemia, and weekly administration sustained virtually complete throughout drugs...
Currently, the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) is administered under a 1+1 (1 primary dose) pediatric schedule in United Kingdom (UK). Higher-valency PCVs, 15-valent PCV (PCV15), or 20-valent (PCV20) might be considered to expand serotype coverage. We evaluated cost-effectiveness of PCV20 PCV15 using either 2+1 (2 doses) for immunization UK. Using dynamic transmission model, we simulated future disease incidence and costs PCV13 1+1, 2+1, schedules from UK National Health...
Objective: The current Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines from 2006 recommend a one-time test for low-risk individuals annual testing those at high risk. These may not be aggressive enough, even low risk infection, due to the earlier initiation HAART movement towards test-and-treat environment. We evaluated optimal frequencies various groups in comparison CDC recommendations. Methods: build deterministic mathematical model optimizing tradeoff between societal cost...
Abstract The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) has been part of routine immunisation in a 2 + 1 schedule (two primary infant doses and one booster during the second year life) UK since 2010. Recently, UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination Immunisation recommended changing to while conceding that this will increase disease burden; however, uncertainty remains how much burden – including invasive (IPD) non-invasive increase. We built dynamic transmission model investigate question....
A comparison was made of the immunity conferred by injected formalin-killed poliomyelitis vaccine and orally administered attenuated in Nigerian infants under tropical conditions where interfering enteroviruses have caused poor conversion rates with vaccine. Two hundred thirty completed immunization schedules. The levels antibodies to polioviruses were assessed before at periodic intervals during trial. Seventy-four per cent, 72% 85% children lacked poliovirus types 1, 2 3 respectively 6...
Renal function in children infected with Schistosoma haematobium and uninfected controls has been studied the I131 hippuran renogram. The results suggest that renographic abnormalities which persist after a water-load are more common who have heavy egg-output their urine, abnormal pyelograms. Specific chemotherapy restored renogram to normal within 3 weeks several cases. It is suggested useful for assessment followup of patients vesical schistosomiasis, further work should be done clearly...
This study is one of a series designed to determine the optimum dose antitoxin in tetanus. Each was allotted at random patients after diagnosis. With sequential analysis, trial stopped 270 had been treated. It concluded that lower least as effective higher.
