Background HIV testing and retention in care treatment are key strategies towards an AIDS free generation. Immediate treament of HIV patients with the lowest CD4 T cell counts is critical given their high rates of pre-antiretroviral therapy mortality. We evaluated the impact of adding an additional nurse-counsellor on HIV outcomes among patients enrolled in care in 7 urban public clinics in Kam...

Secondary toxcity of difethialone to Barn owl (Tyto alba) has been investigated. Difethialone was fed to owls for successive periods of 1 (phase 1), 3 (phase 2) and 6 (phase 3) days viarodenticide dosed rats. The owls survived after the treament of rodenticide on phase 1 and phase 2 experiments but they died during phase 3 experiment. The results suggest that the difethialone could cause more s...

Fluconazole has several advantages over the other antifungal drugs including the option of oral therapy. The side-effect profile is minimal. Studies have shown it to be efficacious for the treament ...

In this study, 38CrMoAl steel was treated with calcium under the pressure of 2 MPa, and four groups high aluminum steels highest content 0.01% were obtained. Spinel inclusions MgO content, CaO original spinel morphology found by testing analyzing towards composition in Ca steel. Combined thermodynamic calculation, a Ca–Al reaction model proposed, solid/liquid phase denaturation mechanism explor...

A 51-yr-old man presented exertional dyspnea as a consequence of iliocaval fistula combined with paradoxical pulmonary embolism and high-output heart failure. Endovascular stent-graft repair was performed to cover iliocaval fistula and restore the heart function. After the procedure, dyspnea was improved and procedure related complication was not seen. A 6-month follow-up computed tomography sh...

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an uncommon form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in younger patients, accounting for less than 15% of cases. It is exceedingly rare in infants, with a median age at diagnosis of 12 years. Various treatment strategies have been studied in pediatric ALCL, however the long-term event free survival is approximately 70% regardless of treatment approach. We present th...
