Objectives: The purpose of this study was to systematically summarise the empirical evidence on the prevalence of HIV among long-distance truck drivers (LDTDs) from all parts of the world.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted.
Data Sources: We searched PubMed, ProQuest Central, PubMed Central, Cumulated Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Global Index Medicus to identify relevant information published from 1989 to 16 May 2023.
The unpredictable nature of epileptic seizures makes it challenging to detect and effectively treat this disorder. The seizures are random, and most epileptic patients experience dangerous physical symptoms during an attack that renders the patient uneasy when conducting their daily tasks. This paper focuses on the generalised type of epilepsy, namely "Grand mal epilepsy Tonic-Clonic (GTC) seizure.

High-speed optical networks are highly affected by chromatic dispersion (CD) that causes pulse broadening and intersymbol interference (ISI) at the light detector. This paper presents a comparative analysis of chromatic dispersion compensation on 10 Gbps single mode fibre (SMF) and 40 Gbps OTDM operating at C-band using Gaussian apodized linear chirped fibre Bragg grating, Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier (EDFA) and uniform fibre Bragg grating (UFBG) hybrid approach in OptiSystem 18.
