In a large population in Southwest Ethiopia (population 700,000), we carried out a complex set of interventions with the aim of reducing maternal mortality.This study evaluated the effects of several coordinated interventions to help improve effective coverage and reduce maternal deaths.Together with the Ministry of Health in Ethiopia, we designed
Gray matter morphology and pain-related disability in young adults with low back pain
Structural neuroplasticity in the brain may contribute to the persistence of low back pain (LBP) symptoms and the disability associated with them.It is not known if structural adaptations are evident early in the lifespan in young adults with LBP.This study compared gray matter in cortical sensorimotor regions in young adults with and without persi
Study on the Interaction Mechanism Between Urbanization and Ecological Resilience—The Case of Urban Agglomeration on the North Slope of Tianshan Mountain
Although it promotes national economic development, urbanization causes regional ecosystems to suffer from disturbances and impacts that cannot be completely avoided.Ecosystems urgently need to improve their resilience; however, existing studies lack an analysis of the interaction between urbanization and ecological resilience.In this study, the in
Femoral Mycotic Aneurysm Secondary to Community: Acquired Methicillin: Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Infection
We present the case of a thirteen-year-old, morbidly obese boy admitted with right hip septic arthritis and severe sepsis.Blood and joint neflintw-r6mpw aspirate cultures confirmed growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.Parenteral antibiotic therapy was administered according to culture sensitivity reports, and several joint re-explo
An Analysis Scheme for Investigation of Effects of Various Parameters on Signals in Acoustic-Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy of Mice Brain: a Simulation Study
Purpose:Photoacoustic spectral analysis is a novel tool for studying various parameters affecting signals in Photoacoustic microscopy.But only observing frequency 12n/1200 wella components of photoacoustic signals doesn’t make enough data for a desirable analysis.Thus a hybrid time-domain and frequency-domain analysis scheme has been proposed to
