This study explores the current availability of and demand for decentralization of services for four high-priority conditions: insulin-dependent diabetes, heart failure, sickle cell disease, and chronic pain. Ministry of Health NCD Programme Managers from across Africa (N = 47) were invited to participate in an online survey. Respondents were asked to report the status of clinical care across the health system. A care package including diagnostics and treatment was described for each condition. Respondents were asked whether the described services are currently available at primary, secondary and tertiary levels, and whether making the service generally available at that level is expected to be a priority in the coming 5 years. Thirty-seven (79%) countries responded. Countries reported widespread gaps in service availability at all levels. We found that just under half (49%) o...

In particular, there is uncertainty on how to interpret anthropometry among low birth weight (LBW) infants who may be growing normally. This research aimed to determine growth of infants from birth to two months (around age of vaccination) and the mortality risk of underweight LBW infants compared to normal birth weight (NBW) infants at two and six months age. Methods: A secondary analysis of a birth cohort of 1103 infants in Burkina Faso was conducted. Anthropometry was performed monthly from 0 to 12 months. We assessed associations with mortality using Cox proportional hazards models and assessed discriminatory values using area under receiver operating characteristics curves. Results: Eighty-six (7.8%) children died by age one year, 26/86 (30%) and 51/86 (59%) within two and six months, respectively. At age two months, weight gain since birth did n...

Given widespread use of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for identifying SAM in older children and weightfor-age (WAZ) for growth monitoring, there is increasing debate about the optimal anthropometric criteria to best identify infants u6m at-risk of mortality. Objective To determine the discriminatory value for mortality during the first 12 months of life of anthropometry taken at birth and at age two months (approximate age of routine vaccination). Design Data were analyzed from a birth cohort recruited between April and December of 2004 at four health facilities within Bansalogho District in Burkina Faso. Infants were followed up for 12 months. Mortality risks were estimated using hazards ratios (HR). Discriminatory value was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves. Results Of 1,103 infants, 227 (21%) were low birthweight (LBW). During 12 months, 86 (7.8%) infants died; 38 (44%) among the LBW group. At birth, MUAC<9.0cm, weight<2.5kg, length<44.2cm and incalculable WLZ were associated with mortality. Sixty (70%) deaths occurred after the age of two months; 26 (43%) among LBW infants. At age two months, any MUAC <11.5cm, weight <3.8kg (WAZ<-3) and length <52.4cm (LAZ<-3) were associated with risk of mortality. WLZ was not associated with mortality at any threshold.

A cross-sectional study carried out between January 1st and December 31st, 2003, recorded and registered 1013 new born children (from full-term pregnancies) from the north-central part of Burkina Faso. The adjusted odds for ratios of low birth-weight were estimated for each obstetric and pregnancy characteristic through a multiple level logic regression analysis. After adjustment for socioeconomic variables, the following were noted as significant factors which seriously increased the risk of low birth-weight: first time pregnancy (OR = 2.8), severe vomiting (OR = 3.4), heavy housework (OR = 1.6), and agricultural labour (OR = 3.3). The existence of high risk was also present in case of women giving birth at home without any medical assistance (OR = 2.1). The number of prenatal visits does not indicate or confer any direct link to prevention...

The efficient management of temporal data is crucial for many traditional and emerging database applications. A major perfor-mance bottleneck for database systems is the memory hierarchy.

In this paper, an approach which exploits the use of the Java programming language to accommodate different hardware and window systems is investigated and a prototype is implemented. Our approach is based on replicated tool architecture in which each participant runs a copy of the application and the activity of each user is multicast to all the participants in the conference. The problems associated with this approach such as view synchronization and replicated object management are among the issues addressed in our research. In addition, we are developing standard functions and mechanisms that allow conference participants to seamlessly use the audio and video features available on most PC's and workstations. Our research on multimedia stream synchronization and adaptation, the incorporation of reliable multicasting and the development of distributed control algorithms are expected to result in increased conference quality, performance and robustness.

A necessary and sufficient condition to solve the so-called fundamental problem of residual generation is obtained. The proposed approach resorts to extensions of the notions of (C, A)-invariant and unobservability subspaces, and it yields a constructive

Méthodes.-Cent cinquante-cinq enfants de PPN (< 2500 g) nés à terme et 280 enfants de PN ont été recrutés de manière rétrospective dans un district rural du Burkina. Des données relatives à l'évolution pondérale, à la mortalité, aux antécédents de la mère et aux caractéristiques socioéconomiques des ménages ont été récoltées. Résultats.-L'écart de poids entre les PPN et les PN s'est réduit graduellement à partir du troisième mois pour devenir non significatif à huit mois (p = 0,213). Le PPN était un des principaux facteurs prédictifs d'un bon gain pondéral à sept mois (b = 64,072 ; p = 0,013) de même que l'indice de masse corporelle (IMC) élevé de la mère et un nombre de consultations prénatales plus important. L'analphabétisme maternel et une grande parité étaient des facteurs préjudiciables à un bon gain de poids. Le risque de décès des PPN, avant un an, était très élevé par rapport aux PN (RR = 4,53 ; p = 0,005). Les PPN avaient un meilleur gain pondéral à partir de trois mois que les PN. Ils avaient néanmoins un risque accru de mortalité avant l'âge d'un an. Conclusion.-Nos résultats suggèrent l'intérêt d'identifier précocement les PPN n'ayant pas un potentiel spontané de croissance, de promouvoir un statut nutritionnel adéquat chez les femmes, ainsi que leur instruction.
