Tuberculosis deaths: are we measuring accurately?
Death among tuberculosis patients is one of the major reasons for non-attainment of 85% treatment success target set by World Health Organization. In this short paper, we evaluated whether the overall mortality rate in pulmonary tuberculosis is being affected by other comorbid conditions. All new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients (N =336), who started their treatment at the chest c...
متن کاملTuberculosis: where are we going?
losis (TB) as, ‘the captain of all these men of death’. In the late 20th century the World Health Organization (WHO) pronounced it a ‘global emergency’. Whether described by poetry or prose, TB has been the leading global infectious cause of morbidity and mortality for more than 500 years.

As a major obstacle, readily available data are often misaligned with actual information needs. They are subject to measurement errors relating to observation, aggregation, attribution, and various sources of heterogeneity. More precise...
متن کاملAre We Really Measuring the ρ-Value?
The “normal” analysis of p̄p and pp elastic scattering uses a ‘spinless’ Coulomb amplitude, i.e., a Rutherford amplitude (2 √ πα/t) multiplied by a Coulomb form factor G2(t), an ansatz that pretends that the nucleon does not have any magnetic scattering. In this note, we investigate the role of the anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon, κ ≈ 1.79. Given the method of analysis currently used by...
متن کاملWhat Are We Measuring When We Evaluate Journals?
This article undertakes two studies to examine issues related to journal rankings. Study 1 examines the consistency between journal rankings reported in past studies. It finds that while there is consistency when comparing these studies, this consistency does not always occur outside the top-ranked journals. Study 2 explores whether individuals believe that the weighting of four underlying eval...
