Article Synopsis
- - Influenza is a viral respiratory illness causing severe symptoms and significant annual mortality worldwide, with Ethiopia lacking comprehensive data on its impact despite establishing surveillance in 2008.
- - The study utilized influenza surveillance data from 2009-2015, collecting throat-swab samples from patients with influenza-like and severe respiratory illness to monitor and characterize viral strains.
- - Out of nearly 5,000 samples tested, about 20.6% were positive for influenza, with higher positivity rates in older children and young adults, peaking in November; the strains identified included seasonal influenza A(H3N2) and A(H1N1)pdm2009.
Background: Estimates of influenza-associated hospitalization are severely limited in low- and middle-income countries, especially in Africa.
Objectives: To estimate the national number of influenza-associated severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) hospitalization in Rwanda.
Methods: We multiplied the influenza virus detection rate from influenza surveillance conducted at 6 sentinel hospitals by the national number of respiratory hospitalization obtained from passive surveillance after adjusting for underreporting and reclassification of any respiratory hospitalizations as SARI during 2012-2014.
Objective: Actively searching for leprosy, other skin diseases and BCG vaccination scars amongst school children from Agua de Dios, the municipality having the highest prevalence of leprosy in Colombia.
Methods: A clinical examination of the children was carried out by nurses, interns, general practitioners and experts on leprosy. Skin smear tests and skin biopsies were performed when the clinical findings suggested leprosy.
It has been shown that practice in dyads, as compared to individual practice, can enhance motor learning and increase the efficiency of practice (as two participants can be trained at the same time; Shea, Wulf, & Whitacre, 1999). The dyad practice protocol used by Shea et al. included both observation and dialogue between partners.
