Defeating diabetes in the desert: A community-based mHealth diabetes screening intervention in Jodhpur Rajasthan.

Background: There is a paucity of demonstrated models for mHealth-based diabetes screening and coordinated care in India, especially in western Rajasthan, which is the part of Thar desert.

Materials And Methods: JSPH collaboratively developed and implemented an easy-to-use, noninvasive, mobile phone-based screening interview, to identify adults at high risk for diabetes. The high risk for diabetes was defined using multiple clinical and epidemiologic criteria, all based on the evidence for India and globally.

Deep Learning Detection of Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis at Chest Radiography Matched the Clinical Performance of Radiologists.

Background The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends chest radiography to facilitate tuberculosis (TB) screening. However, chest radiograph interpretation expertise remains limited in many regions. Purpose To develop a deep learning system (DLS) to detect active pulmonary TB on chest radiographs and compare its performance to that of radiologists.

Use of mobile telemedicine for cervical cancer screening.

Visual inspection of the cervix with application of 4% acetic acid (VIA) is an inexpensive alternative to cytology-based screening in areas where resources are limited, such as in many developing countries. We have examined the diagnostic agreement between off-site (remote) expert diagnosis using photographs of the cervix (photographic inspection with acetic acid, PIA) and in-person VIA. The images for remote evaluation were taken with a mobile phone and transmitted by MMS.

Partial purification and characterization of the proteins from the 40-S ribosomes of Artemia salina and wheat germ.

The proteins were extracted from purified 40-S ribosomes derived from wheat germ and Artemia salina and separated by carboxymethylcellulose ion-exchange chromatography. Approximately four proteins from Artemia and four proteins from wheat germ were separated in a state of high purity. All proteins were identified by co-electrophoresis using a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel system.
