Abstract Background Point of care testing promises to reduce delays in diagnosing and initiating treatment for infectious diseases such as Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV).In South Africa, decentralized HIV testing with rapid tests offers important lessons for point of care testing programs.Yet, little is known about the strategies of providers
Water Formation and Inrush Risk of Overburden Strata for Extra-thick Coal Seam Mining
Based on Service Window Hardware the analysis of the hydrogeological data of the first mining area in Zhaoxian Coal Mine, by using the research methods of theoretical analysis, similar material test and numerical simulation, the separation layer of overburden strata and water in the mining process of extra-thick coal seam is predicted theoretically
Comparative efficacy and safety of the artemisinin derivatives compared to quinine for treating severe malaria in children and adults: A systematic update of literature and network meta-analysis.
BackgroundThe artemisinin derivatives are the preferred antimalaria drugs for treating severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria.However, their clinical effectiveness compared to each other is unknown.Our objective, therefore, was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the artemisinin derivatives and quinine for treating severe P.falciparum malaria in c
Cascading Dynamics of the Hydrologic Cycle in California Explored through Observations and Model Simulations
As drought occurs in a region it can have cascading effects through the water cycle.In this study, we explore the temporal co-evolution of various components of the hydrologic cycle in California from 2002 to 2018.We combine information from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites, the North American Land Data pedal plate Ass
