Person-centred interventions to improve patient-provider relationships for HIV services in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review.

Introduction: Person-centred care (PCC) has been recognized as a critical element in delivering quality and responsive health services. The patient-provider relationship, conceptualized at the core of PCC in multiple models, remains largely unexamined in HIV care. We conducted a systematic review to better understand the types of PCC interventions implemented to improve patient-provider interactions and how these interventions have improved HIV care continuum outcomes and person-reported outcomes (PROs) among people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries.

Hepatitis C Elimination in Rwanda: Progress, Feasibility, and Economic Evaluation.

Objectives: In 2018, Rwanda launched a national program to eliminate the hepatitis C virus (HCV). We aim to assess the impact of the program to date and identify strategies to achieve the World Health Organization's HCV elimination goals by 2030.

Methods: We developed a microsimulation model to simulate Rwanda's HCV epidemic from 2015 through 2050 and evaluated temporal trends in HCV infection, prevalence, mortality, and the total cost of care for scenarios that could achieve HCV elimination by 2030.

Single-center experience with early liver transplantation for acute alcohol-related hepatitis-Limitations of the SALT score and directions for future study.

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is the leading indication for liver transplantation worldwide. Since Mathurin et al. described their experience in providing early liver transplantation for patients with ALD in 2011, other centers have followed suit with generally favorable survival outcomes.

Hepatitis C Elimination in Moldova Is Feasible and Cost-Saving: A Modeling Study.

Background: Moldova, an upper-middle-income country in Eastern Europe, is facing a high burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Our objective was to assist the National Agency of Public Health of Moldova in planning to achieve the World Health Organization's HCV elimination goals by 2030.

Methods: This study adapted a previously developed microsimulation model to simulate the HCV epidemic in Moldova from 2004 to 2050.

Highly sensitive and ratiometric detection of nitrite in food based on upconversion-carbon dots nanosensor.

Nitrite (NO) is extensively found in the daily dietary environment. However, consuming too much NO can pose serious health risks. Thus, we designed a NO-activated ratiometric upconversion luminescence (UCL) nanosensor which could realize NO detection via the inner filter effect (IFE) between NO-sensitive carbon dots (CDs) and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs).
