BACKGROUND The 2014 International Pressure Ulcer Prevention (PUP) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) provides the most current evidence based strategies to prevent Pressure Ulcer (PU). The evidence upon which these guidelines have been developed has predominantly been generated from research conducted in developed countries. Some of these guidelines may not be feasible in developing countries d...

Password-Authenticated Key Exchange (PAKE) studies how to establish secure communication between two remote parties solely based on their shared password, without requiring a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Despite extensive research in the past decade, this problem remains unsolved. Patent has been one of the biggest brakes in deploying PAKE solutions in practice. Besides, even for the patent...

Abstract Human insulin-like growth factor I (hIGF-I) is a kind of growth factor with clinical significance in medicine. The major objective of this study is over- production of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I( rhIGF-I) through a developed process by recruiting effective factors in order to achieve the most recombinant protein. Up to now E. coli expression system has been widely us...

Improving the quality of facility based neonatal care is central to Background: tackling the burden of neonatal mortality in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). Quality neonatal care is highly dependent on nursing care but a major challenge facing health systems in LMICs is human resource shortage. In Kenya, task-shifting among professional care cadres is being discussed as one potential st...

It’s an oft-repeated phrase: Two heads are better than one. Likewise, the AAFP has found that when developing clinical practice guidelines, 2 organizations are often better than one. In fact, of the last 9 AAFP clinical practice guidelines, 8 involved other organizations. What does this trend toward collaboration mean? “We’re leaders,” states AAFP Scientifi c Activities Division Director Herber...

Purpose The JISC Usage Statistics Review Project aims to formulate a fundamental scheme for recording usage data and to propose a standard for its aggregation to provide meaningful and comparable item-level usage statistics for electronic documents like e.g. research papers and scientific resources. Approach A core element of the project has been a stakeholder workshop. This workshop was held i...
