Background: Recipients of health services value not only convenience but also respectful, kind, and helpful providers. To date, research to improve person-centred HIV treatment has focused on making services easier to access (eg, differentiated service delivery) rather than the interpersonal experience of care. We developed and evaluated a person-centred care (PCC) intervention targeting practices of health-care workers.

November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on tackling hypertension in Peru through a hybrid research design testing a community health worker (CHW)-led program, aiming to improve blood pressure control within the national primary care system in Puno.
- - A total of 1068 adults with hypertension will be recruited and randomly assigned to either usual care or a 12-month intervention, which includes home-based monitoring, medication support, and lifestyle counseling.
- - The trial will evaluate clinical effectiveness (like changes in blood pressure) and implementation outcomes (such as program acceptance and cost-effectiveness), providing valuable insights for future health strategies in Peru and similar low- to middle-income countries (LMICs).
-Linked β--acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) is an essential, dynamic monosaccharide post-translational modification (PTM) found on serine and threonine residues of thousands of nucleocytoplasmic proteins. The installation and removal of O-GlcNAc is controlled by a single pair of enzymes, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase (OGA), respectively. Since its discovery four decades ago, O-GlcNAc has been found on diverse classes of proteins, playing important functional roles in many cellular processes.

In sixteen US Southern States and Washington DC, the effects of health inequities engendered by Jim-Crow laws enacted from the late 1800s to the 1960s have not been evaluated for TB-related mortality. We, therefore, sought to compare TB mortality rates and annualized rate of change (AROC) between 1990 and 2019 in former Jim-Crow vs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: HIV clinical guidelines recommend hypertension detection and management to lower cardiovascular disease risk, but these have not been effectively implemented for people living with HIV (PWH). Addressing this implementation gap requires community-engaged implementation studies focused on addressing implementation barriers specific to the HIV care context.
Methods: This protocol describes a type 2 effectiveness-implementation hybrid study conducted in nine primary care clinics in Johannesburg.
