A Systems Approach to Malaria Control: Institutional Perspective

India’s approach to eliminating Plasmodium falciparum malaria: A modeling perspective

Approximately one-third of the world’s population that is at risk to malaria lives in India. Plasmodium falciparum, a deadly form of malaria, accounts for about 50% percent of the cases there. Since 1940s India has used a number of programmes to combat the disease with variable success.

A new Approach to the Multi-Objective Control of Linear Singular Perturbation Systems

Perspective: a systems approach to diabetes research

We review here the status of human type 2 diabetes studies from a genetic, epidemiological, and clinical (intervention) perspective. Most studies limit analyses to one or a few omic technologies providing data of components of physiological processes. Since all chronic diseases are multifactorial and arise from complex interactions between genetic makeup and environment, type 2 diabetes mellitu...

A systems approach to an institutional laboratory ventilation management plan

Laboratory ventilation is a fundamental strategy to control exposures to volatile chemicals. However, laboratory ventilation systems are energy-intensive and developing innovative methods for incorporating sustainable energy considerations into laboratory ventilation design and operation is an important concern for successful 21st century laboratory institutions. This paper describes our use of...

Physicians' Perspective on a Multidisciplinary Approach to Dysphagia Management

Introduction: Professionals need a multidisciplinary approach to manage oropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD). Each team member should be aware of the signs and symptoms of OPD and collaborate with other team members to reach an optimum outcome. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of Iranian physicians regarding dysphagia and speech and language therapy roles in the management...
