Feedback-guided Development for Patient Education Animation: HIV Transmission via Breastfeeding

Patient education and guided self-management plans.

Asthma can be controlled effectively with the use of the appropriate drugs. By varying the level of treatment, the associated risks and unpleasantness of the disease can be minimized. In the majority of situations, the range of possible changes is reasonably straightforward and there is no reason why patients should not be trained to take these steps themselves. Self-management plans are an eff...

HIV transmission through breastfeeding: a study in Malawi.

CONTEXT Understanding the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission through breastfeeding is essential for advising HIV-infected mothers and formulating public health policy recommendations. OBJECTIVE To measure the frequency, timing, and risk factors of HIV transmission through breast milk. DESIGN Prospective cohort study conducted between 1994 and 1997, with follow-up of inf...

HIV transmission through breastfeeding: still possible in developed countries.

We describe here the case of a 13-month-old boy who acquired HIV infection postnatally through breastfeeding in a developed country in 2012. His mother had regular pregnancy follow-up and was found to be seronegative for HIV on 2 consecutive screening tests (during pregnancy and just after delivery). However, 1 year later, diagnosis of HIV infection arose in both of them after a pediatric emerg...

Physically Guided Animation of Trees

This paper presents a new method to animate the interaction of a tree with wind both realistically and in real time. The main idea is to combine statistical observations with physical properties in two major parts of tree animation. First, the interaction of a single branch with the forces applied to it is approximated by a novel efficient two step nonlinear deformation method, allowing arbitra...
