PNS210 "EXTRA! EXTRA!": CURRENT EXPERIENCES OF COMMUNICATING HEALTH INFORMATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Non communicating extra dural meningeal cyst in dorsal spine

Spinal extradural meningeal cyst has been rarely reported, whose etiologies are assumed to be the communication of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between intradural subarachnoid space and cyst due to the congenital defect in dura mater. Although the CSF communication due to this defect can be found in most case, few cases in which there is a lack of the communication have also been reported. We repo...

Information technology for health in developing countries.

Poverty has deepened the crisis in health-care delivery in developing countries, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, which is a region facing a disease burden that is unmatched in the world. Whether access to proven and powerful information and communication technologies (ICTs) can improve health indicators is an ongoing debate. However, this brief review shows that in the last decade there has be...

Integer Factoring with Extra Information

In this paper we present an heuristic algorithm and its implementation in C++ program for integer factoring with high-order bits known based on lattice reduction techniques. Our approach is inspired in algorithms for predicting pseudorandom numbers.

Incorporating Extra Information in Nonparametric Smoothing

Nonparametric estimation of conditional mean functions has been studied extensively in the literature. This paper addresses the question of how to use extra informations to improve the estimation. Particularly, we consider the situation that the conditional mean function E(Z | X ) is of interest and there is an auxiliary variable available which is correlated with both X and Z. A two-stage kern...
