Abstract Background Nigeria, like many other countries, has been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While efforts have devoted to curtailing disease, a major concern its potential effects on delivery and utilization of reproductive health care services in country. The objective study was investigate extent which pandemic related lockdowns had provision essential reproductive, maternal,...

Sewage sludge digestate is a valuable organic waste which can be used as fertilizer in soil bioremediation. not only good source of nutrients but also rich bacteria carrying alkB genes, are involved aliphatic hydrocarbons metabolism. Increase genes ratio polluted soils has been observed to improve bioremediation efficiency. In this study, for the first time, genetic potential indigenous microor...

Introduction: There is a lack of research on the impact transition pharmaceutical care service from Ministry Health (MOH) primary healthcare centers (PHCs) to community pharmacies (Wasfaty service) in Saudi Arabia. This study explored community’s perception toward service. Community needs and expectations Wasfaty were assessed, its experience, concerns, limitations evaluated.Methods: Qualitativ...

Broadband and anisotropic light emission from rare-earth doped tellurite thin films is demonstrated using Er3+-TeO2 photonic crystals (PhCs). By adjusting the PhC parameters, photoluminescent light can be efficiently coupled into vertical surface emission or lateral waveguide propagation modes. Because of the flexibility of light projection direction, Er3+-TeO2 is a potential broadband light so...

Comamonas testosteroni strain R5 expresses a higher level of phenol-oxygenating activity than any other bacterial strain so far characterized. The expression of the operon encoding multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (mPH), which is responsible for the phenol-oxygenating activity, is controlled by two transcriptional regulators, PhcS and PhcR, in strain R5. In this study, we identified a third tr...

OBJECTIVES To understand the logistics and supply management system of drugs at different levels within the district health care delivery system of Dharbanga in Bihar. METHOD This was a cross-sectional study in 3 Primary Health Centres (PHCs), 3 Additional Primary Health Centres (APHCs) and 6 Subcentres (SCs) during September-December 2008. The study subjects were Civil Surgeon, Pharmacists, ...

BACKGROUND Deficiencies in record keeping practices have been reported at primary care level in the public health sector in South Africa. These deficiencies have the potential to negatively impact patient health outcomes as the break in information may hinder continuity of care. This disruption in information management has particular relevance for patients with chronic diseases. OBJECTIVES T...

We point out that 2D photonic crystals (PhCs) can support surface bands that are pinned to Dirac points. These bands can be made very flat by optimizing the parameters of the system. Surface modes are found at the interface of two different cladding materials: one is a PhC with Dirac linear dispersion for the TE mode, and the other is a PhC that has a broad TE gap at the Dirac frequency.

The concept and design of L5 photonic band gap nanocavities in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhCs) slabs for enhancement of timulated Raman amplification and lasing in monolithic silicon is suggested for the first time. Specific high quality factor (Q) and small modal olume nanocavities are designed which supports the required pump–Stokes modal spacing in silicon, with ultra-low lasing...

E-catalogue procurement of medicine is a method electronic using particular website developed by the Government to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and transparency procurement. In Klaten Regency, e-catalogue in Public Health Center (PHC) experiences obstacles. The study aimed evaluate performance medicine, analyze root problem formulate strategies improve based on problems. This descriptive...
