An estimated 800 000 children (<15 years) globally living with HIV remain undiagnosed. To reach these timely testing services during infancy, we implemented a community-based differentiated care model using mobile point-of-care (POC) technology for early infant diagnosis (EID) of HIV, and assessed its effects on EID positivity, antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation 3-month retention in care. Between 1 June 2019 31 May 2020 at six health facilities Lusaka, Zambia, enrolled mother-infant...
Longitudinal growth curves, based on repeated measurements from the same group of infants, exist for preterm infant weight and length but not BMI. Our existing BMI (weight divided by squared) curves are cross-sectional birth data obtained a different infants at each gestational age (GA).We calculated over time 68 693 between 24 36 weeks GA. Stratifying sex, GA birth, quintiles BMI, we created longitudinal median using R validated resulting empirical fit, proper classification, normality z...
Lesotho is a small, landlocked country in southern Africa with population of approximately 2 million persons, two thirds whom live rural areas (1). has the second highest prevalence HIV infection world (2). In 2017, 25.6% persons aged 15-59 years living were HIV-positive (3). Strategies implemented recent to control include efforts reduce mother-to-child transmission and improve coverage antiretroviral therapy, as well increasing testing for HIV. Among 15-24 years, among females 2017 (11.1%)...
Students’ abilities and interests vary dramatically in the college mathematics classroom. How do we teach all of these students effectively? In this paper, present Point Reward System (PRS), a new method assessment that addresses problem. We designed PRS with three main goals mind: to increase retention rates; keep actively engaged learning process; enhance students’ experience. At same time, wanted implementation practical while not diminishing its potential facilitate process. compared...
