Following an early interim analysis, the investigators observed that the death/stroke rate after unprotected carotid angioplasty was 10.3% (6/58), as compared with 26.7%...

a new series of noncyclic ionophores containing two to four furan units (ia to iiib) i.e. 1,1-difurylethane (ia), 2,5-bis(methylfurfuryl)furan (iia) and 1,1’ ethyledenebis[5-(methylfurfuryl)furan] (iiia), 2,2-difurylpropane (ib), 2,5-bis (dimethylfurfuryl)furan(iib), 2,2’-isopropylidenebis[5-(dimethylfurfuryl)furan] (iiib) have been synthesized by the condensation of furan with acetaldehyde and...

the changing demands on the health sectors in low- and middle-income countries especially sub-saharan african countries continue to challenge efforts to address critical shortages of the health workforce. addressing these challenges have led to the evolution of “non-physician clinicians” (npcs), that assume some physician roles and thus mitigate the continuing shortage of doctors in these count...
