The present study aims to analyze the association between availability of facilities at PHCs and their with healthcare-seeking from in rural India. data used were extracted HMIS (Health Management Information System) NFHS-4. Using ‘HMIS health infrastructure data’ we constructed ‘Facility Index’ district level by performing Exploratory Factor Analysis. Multilevel logistic regression concentrati...

INTRODUCTION Deletion or mutation of the gene encoding the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) protein matrilin-3 (MATN3) results in the early onset of osteoarthritis (OA), suggesting chondroprotective properties of MATN3. To understand the mechanisms underlying these properties, we determined the effects of MATN3 protein on the expression of several key anabolic and catabolic genes involved i...

Background: Urban Primary Health Centres (UPHC)are different from conventional rural PHCs in term of size, functions, focus on ambulatory care, limited staff and infrastructure. UPHC is also expected to deliver certain job-functions Subcentre through its outreach services. In view these considerations, it is, therefore, appropriate that a separate list standards developed. Methods: This was cro...

<b>Background:</b> A study review of literature in occupational burnout measures public health care sector (PHCS). In the view authors, a process that applies principles and techniques to create, communicate, deliver value order influence target audience behaviors benefit employees PHCS, as well intended society. Does not work exploit turnover rather aims PHCS are change activities ...

The occurrence of a representative range pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) in urban wastewaters was studied two Portuguese water-scarce regions (Lisbon great area, and Faro – Algarve), involving 55 sampling campaigns during 2.5 years. results show 16 PhCs (out the 24 analysed) were quantified all samples, with similar concentrations both wastewaters. To understand to what extent seasonality affec...

Due to strong absorption of the incident light, the media with high refractive index are considered restrictive for applications in photonic crystals (PhCs). The possibility to resolve this problem by optical saturation effectively minimizing the absorption of the PhC medium is discussed. Such approach might be promising for the significant broadening of the photonic band-gap.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the past attendance for cervical cancer screening with knowledge of risk factors, access to health-related information, health profiles and health competence beliefs among Japanese women. Methods: Women ages 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 were contacted cross-sectionally as part of a project for the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Wel...

Due to the release of active pharmaceutical compounds in wastewater and their persistence environment, dangerous consequences can develop aquatic terrestrial organisms. Chitosan/Ag/TiO2 3D printed scaffolds, at different Ag nanoparticle concentrations (10, 100, 1000 ppm) are investigated here as promising materials for photocatalytic degradation under UV–Vis irradiation wastewater. As target dr...

We read with interest of the authors’ experience from Nepal and that they rightly point out the urgent need to bridge the manpower gap in this country. This gap is disturbingly high, not only in Nepal but in most other low-income countries (LICs) and is the most common direct cause of the diagnostic and treatment gaps in the management of epilepsy. The authors are also right to call for the tra...
