For 10 years the World Health Organisation has had a single answer to the deadly threat of tuberculosis (TB)-provide treatment to smear positive patients and watch them take it. In contrast with confident statements about how global TB would be brought under control when directly observed therapy, short course (DOTS) was introduced, TB continues to rise worldwide. The introduction of selected m...

The absorption of photons through the direct generation of spatially separated excitons at dot-ligand interfaces is proposed as a promising strategy for tailoring the optical gap of small silicon quantum dots independent of their size. This removes a primary drawback for the use of very small dots in broad range of applications. For instance, the strategy can be applied to solar energy technolo...

BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is an important global health problem, and a control strategy known as DOTS-Plus has existed since 1999. However, evidence regarding the feasibility, effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness of DOTS-Plus is still limited. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We evaluated the feasibility, effectiveness, cost, and cost-effectiveness of a DOTS-Pl...

BACKGROUND Implementation of the World Health Organization's DOTS strategy (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course therapy) can result in significant reduction in tuberculosis incidence. We estimated potential costs and benefits of DOTS expansion in Haiti from the government, and societal perspectives. METHODS Using decision analysis incorporating multiple Markov processes (Markov modelling...

BACKGROUND The present study compared the effectiveness of Family-Based DOTS (FB-DOTS) versus Professional-Family Mix DOTS (PFM-DOTS) in smear positive tuberculosis (TB) patients. METHODS This semi-experimental study was performed in Tuberculosis and Lung Diseases Research Center of Tabriz in 2011-2012, among 57 TB patients recruited into either FB-DOTS or PFM-DOTS groups. At the baseline of ...
