A pilot project to develop and implement a mobile smartphone application (App) that tracks and maps assistive technology (AT) availability in southern Africa was launched in Botswana in 2016.The App was developed Corers and tested through an iterative process.The concept of the App (AT-Info-Map) was well received by most stakeholders within the pil
Objectives: Despite the well-established association between self-rated health and mortality, research findings have been inconsistent regarding how men and women differ on this link.Using a national sample in the United States, this study compared American male and female older adults for the predictive role of baseline self-rated health on the sh
BACKGROUND:Primaquine is the only licensed antimalarial for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax infections.Many countries, however, do not administer primaquine due to fear of hemolysis in those with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency.In other settings, primaquine is given without G6PD testing, putting patients at risk of hemolysi

In mountainous, cold temperate and polar sites, the presence of snow cover can affect relative seismic velocity changes (dV/V) derived from ambient noise correlation, but this relation is relatively poorly documented and ambiguous.In this study, we analyzed raw seismic recordings from a Wash Pump Motor snowy flat field site located above Davos (Swi
