The impact of novel tests for tuberculosis depends on the diagnostic cascade.
At least 3 million people with active tuberculosis (TB) are missed by national systems every year. Reaching these individuals is a critical priority [1]. Novel molecular diagnostics, notably Xpert MTB/RIF (Cepheid Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) [2, 3], are important tools in this effort. Over 6 million Xpert cartridges have been procured worldwide since late 2010 [4] but two recent randomised trials...
متن کاملModeling the impact of novel diagnostic tests on pediatric and extrapulmonary tuberculosis
BACKGROUND Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) and most pediatric TB cannot be diagnosed using sputum-based assays. The epidemiological impact of different strategies to diagnose EPTB and pediatric TB is unclear. METHODS We developed a dynamic epidemic model of TB in a hypothetical population with epidemiological characteristics similar to India. We evaluated the impact of four alternative dia...
متن کاملبررسی تأثیر الگوی جغرافیایی بر بهبودی بیماران مبتلا به سل ریوی بر اساس مدل زمان شکست شتاب‌دار پارامتری
Background and Objectives: Tuberculosis is the most common cause of death among single-factor infectious diseases and is the tenth cause of death among all diseases in the world. The disease is spread mainly from an infected person through close contact with other people living in one place. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the spatial correlation structure and ...

Background: Patients with hematologic malignancies are at risk of advanced tuberculosis. The prevalence of tuberculosis between these patients is 2.1- 2.6 percent. The cellular immune deficiency caused by hematologic malignancies and or its treatment increases the risk of tuberculosis in these patients. Multiple Myeloma is malignant proliferations of plasma cells that involves different classes...
متن کاملModeling, Control and Simulation of Cascade Control Servo System for one Axis Gimbal Mechanism
The gimbal stabilization mechanism is used to provide the stability to an object mounted on the gimbal by isolating it from the base angular motion and vibration. The purpose of this paper is to present a model of control servo system for one axis gimbal mechanism using a cascade PID controller. The gimbal torque relationships are derived by taking into consideration the base angular motion. Th...
