In Mumbai, a significant challenge persists in managing HIV at advanced stages. The World Health Organization (WHO) has a specific plan, known as the advanced disease management (ADM) package. This plan is designed to lower the number of people suffering and dying from advanced HIV disease (AHD). AH
A new tool has been created to study how plants and diseases interact. This tool, named DYNAMO-A, looks at how plants grow and how diseases spread within them. It is built on previous models that focused on specific crops like rice and wheat, as well as a more general model meant for education and f
The idea of using digital tools to help people manage their heart health is gaining traction. This is because traditional in-person programs, while effective, often require a lot of staff and resources. These programs aim to boost what is known as cardiac self-efficacy. That is, a person's confidenc
The COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill, affecting everyone's daily life. For those with Parkinson's disease, this period was especially challenging. People with Parkinson's need regular hospital visits to monitor and adjust their medication. The pandemic made these visits difficult,
The Sichuan-Tibet Highway, specifically the Lulang-Tongmai stretch, is a hotspot for soil erosion studies. This is due to its tricky geography and ever-changing weather. From 2000 to 2023, there has been a drop in soil erosion intensity. However, the erosion is not even. It gets worse as you move fr
The risk of dengue fever has been growing in Nepal's mid hills. This is due to rising temperatures, which create ideal conditions for mosquitoes to thrive. To understand this better, researchers looked at satellite data and temperature trends from 2001 to 2020. They focused on two types of mosquitoe
The inner ear has a small but mighty part called the cochlea. It is key to how we hear. This part picks up sound waves and turns them into signals the brain can understand. Hair cells in the cochlea play a big role in this process. They pick up and boost these sound waves. For people with severe hea
