AMS across the surgical pathway in LMICs

Failures in communication and information transfer across the surgical care pathway: interview study.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Effective communication is imperative to safe surgical practice. Previous studies have typically focused upon the operating theatre. This study aimed to explore the communication and information transfer failures across the entire surgical care pathway. METHODS Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 members of the multidiscipl...

Cancer drugs in LMICs: cheap but unaffordable

Cervical cancer prevention training in South East Asian LMICs

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a confederation of 10 sovereign states occupying approximately 1.7 million square miles of Southeast Asia with an estimated population of just under 630 million. Southeast Asia continues to have one of the world's highest rates of cervical cancer-related death. Organised training in cervical cancer screening is essential but lacking in low t...

A Comparative Study of AMS Circuit Simulation in VHDL-AMS and SystemC-AMS

Mixed-Signal extensions to VHDL and SystemC languages have been developed in order to provide a unifying environment for the modeling and verification of AMS designs at different levels of abstraction. In this paper, we model the behavior of a set of benchmark designs in VHDL-AMS and SystemC-AMS and compare the simulation run-time with the low level HSPICE simulation run-time. The various exper...

Aldosterone signaling pathway across the nuclear envelope.

We describe the route by which aldosterone-triggered macromolecules enter and exit the cell nucleus of Xenopus laevis oocyte. Oocytes were microinjected with 50 fmol aldosterone and then enucleated 2-30 min after injection. After isolation, nuclear envelope electrical resistance (NEER) was measured in the intact cell nuclei by using the nuclear hourglass technique. We observed three NEER stages...
