Estimating the collapse of Afghanistan’s economy using nightlights data

Plos.org 
En

by Till Raphael Saenger, Ethan B. Kapstein, Ronnie Sircar

The Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021 is associated with a rapid collapse of the Afghan economy. However, assessing the scale of this collapse is proving difficult as official data are scarce. To complement qualitative measures obtained through rapid surveys of the population, we employ monthly nightlights data as a proxy measure for changes in economic activity. By combining a synthetic control approach with nightlights data from neighboring countries... Читать дальше...

Factors associated with the uptake and utilisation of diabetic retinopathy screening services in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review

Introduction

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of chronic Diabetes that can lead to visual impairment if left untreated. While concerted efforts have been made to develop screening modalities to facilitate the early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in sub-Saharan Africa, little is known about the factors impacting the optimal use of these screening services. This paper aims to identify and highlight factors... Читать дальше...

by Yaru Wei, Zhengjun Peng

To explore the quality, reliability, and practical effect of the Simodont virtual simulation training system in preclinical teaching of access and coronal cavity preparation for dental undergraduate students. Twenty dental undergraduate students from Guanghua School of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University, were recruited and randomly divided into two groups after theory training. The groups were allocated using the random number method and assessed for access and... Читать дальше...

Rapid assessment of noma: Reporting on forgotten and neglected disease in Ethiopia

Plos.org 
En

by Wendemagegn Enbiale

Background

Noma is a rapidly progressing, invasive, and debilitating orofacial disease that primarily affects the most vulnerable and marginalised populations worldwide. The highest- risk group includes pre-school children, exposed to other risk factors, such as malnutrition and poverty-related diseases. Since 2010, Ethiopia has reported an increasing number of noma cases, primarily identified through medical missions. Data on the disease burden and epidemiology are... Читать дальше...
