A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW OF HIGH RISK GROUPS WITH A FOCUS ON SOUTH AFRICA

Eight studies looked at the practice of health workers. Of these, four were in Africa (Burkina Faso, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania), two were multicentre (both including Africa), one was from Egypt, and one from Pakistan. In Pakistan, a cross-sectiona[r]

Screening for early detection of lung cancer has been performed in high-risk individuals with smoking history. However, researches on the distribution, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of these high-risk individuals in an actual cohort are lacking. Thus, the objective of this study was to ret[r]

In Africa, a high proportion of children are at risk for developmental delay. Early interventions are known to improve outcomes, but they are not routinely available. The Rwandan Ministry of Health with Partners In Health/Inshuti Mu Buzima created the Pediatric Development Clinic (PDC) model for pro[r]

It may be misleading, though, to argue that the share of se[r]

Parental concerns about their children’s development can be used as an indicator of developmental risk. We undertook a systematic review of the prevalence of parents’ concerns as an indicator of developmental risk, measured by the Parents’ Evaluation of Developmental Status (PEDS) and associated ris[r]

Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) metastasis to the facial skeleton is exceedingly rare. A case of FTC metastasizing to the mandible is presented and a systematic review of the literature describing thyroid metastasis to the facial skeleton is performed.

Case reports, retrospective analyses, and observational studies have linked the use of cisplatin to increased risk of second cancers, especially life-threatening secondary leukemia. We therefore performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of second cancers associated with re[r]

Yeasts and molds are major causes of spoilage of fruit juices and beverages. Yeasts predominate in the spoilage ß ora of fruit products because of their high acid tolerance and the ability of many of them to grow anaerobically.[r]

ELISA and culling
The ELISA test for paratuberculosis is generally consid- ered to be highly specific, but of low sensitivity [14]. ELI- SA ’ s simplicity, speed, low cost, and potential for automation makes it an ideal tool for laboratory diagnostic work [16]. The problems with ELIS[r]

The aim of this paper was to determine the nature of the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and caries in children and adolescents, by conducting a systematic review of the published literature.

Oral cancer is a growing problem worldwide, with high incidence rates in South Asian countries. With increasing numbers of South Asian immigrants in developed countries, a possible rise in oral cancer cases is expected given the high prevalence in their source countries and the continued oral cancer[r]

Diamond
In the nineteenth century, diamond was among the most valuable of mineral commodities per unit weight or size. Diamonds were mostly found in alluvial depos- its in India and Brazil. In 1866, a South African Boer farmer’s son, Erasmus Jacobs, found a transparent[r]
