An epidemiological study of newly diagnosed sputum positive tuberculosis patients in Dhubri district, Assam, India and the factors influencing their compliance to treatment
This article was written by Forhad Akhtar Zaman, Samuel Sheikh, Kushal Chandra Das, Gaffar Sarwar Zaman and Ranabir Pal and was published in the Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine, 2014, Vol. 5(2), pages 415-20. It is a primary research article that focuses on describing a quantitative study that aims to contribute to the information base on the development, evolution and treatment of tuberculosis patients in Assam, India. The article presents the conceptual framework and the necessity of the study, the subjects and methods used, the results, while discussing them and providing a set of conclusions. The importance of this article relies on the novelty of information to the addressed field and the ease of expression, allowing readers in medical and non-medical fields to understand the information it presents.
Problem statement
Tuberculosis affects economically productive age groups, while causing global socio-economic problems.
Statement of purpose
The research study described by this article is intended to identify epidemiological factors determining tuberculosis, and the clinic-social factors that...
Interviews were scheduled at respondents' residence in order to ensure a relaxed discussion that would allow respondents to answer to questions in the interview as truthfully as possible.
The results of the study confirmed the fact that the majority of the study population represented by tuberculosis patients is indeed within the 15 -- 55 age group. This is the economically productive age group in India. Results of this research study are consistent with previous research. Therefore, the current study confirms previously identified situations.
The study has confirmed the research hypothesis of poverty and inequality influencing the development of tuberculosis in the studied population. Researchers have also identified a new condition: Muslim females are more prone to the disease because of poor economic conditions and gender neglect. This is another issue that ensures how socio-economic factors influence tuberculosis. Another hypothesis tested by this research study is represented by the use of biomass fuel influencing tuberculosis. The study reflects that this is an important factor of influence in this case, and this situation can be observed in the case of Muslim women, more exposed to indoor pollution in comparison with men, because of intensive cooking using biomass fuel.
Access to health care is another factor affecting tuberculosis that is confirmed by this research study. It seems that patients with better access to…
In addition to this, nurses play an important role in identifying and communicating opportunities and obstacles that affect patients' treatment. Another important role identified by this research study is for nurses to provide health education to communities, care providers, patients, and clients. But nurses' role is not limited to heath care. They also get involved in issues affecting treatment adherence in Burundi. They work in increasing adherence to the treatment, especially for patients suffering from other diseases, like HIV. Therefore, nurses in Burundi provide education to their patients in order for them to adhere to treatment, provide the health care process, and continue with the followup.
However, in order for nurses' activity to be successful, it is important that they are excellently trained. The research study has revealed the fact that nurses in Burundi are highly skilled professionals, as adherence to treatment in this region has increased. They also require addition improvements that could help them do a better job with their patients. Such improvements are represented by transportation facilities and developing medical centers closer to patients' homes. It is important to address this study for improvements that authorities can invest in so that health care systems improve their performance.

Building a Database for Use in Scheduling Process The scheduling of various activities can at the moment be with the help of computer programs that implement the methodology of the critical-path method (CPM) (Choo et al.,2008). The requirements for building a database for use in scheduling process are numerous. For instance, each scheduler must have a separate database for storing information persistently. The server administrator and the application scheduler have
Formative Assessments Popham -1 - Implementing one of Popham's four "steps" should be regular and a part of the everyday classroom management edict. For instance, as instructor's collect evidence, they must decide whether to proceed, review, or change instruction; students use evidence of understanding to help them reroute thinking processes ro adjust learning procedures; and, depending on the climate of the classroom, both teachers and students should adjust assessment by using
construction of created rubrics of checklists of goals have become increasingly popular as a way of rending the educational process more effective and efficient. Student-directed assessment involves students actively in the process of assessment and achieves the dual goal of student empowerment as well as ensures that real learning has taken place. "Constructing or drawing up rubrics jointly with students prior to them undertaking the related lesson or task
local college/university employs ESL instructors however there is a problem with the manner in which ESL instructors teach the students. They follow a very linear and singular method of instruction that generates lack of interest in students and decreases student's linguistic ability during class. The literature reviewed will focus on the subject: teaching English as a second language, foundation strategies for teachers in Puerto Rico. The first literature to
resource scheduling and evaluating various methods used to schedule resources in project management. Resource scheduling involves implementing and planning a way of scheduling one's resources. It involves ascertaining that the necessary resources for perpetrating the task are there; that the right resource/s are used; that timing or resource is correct and that there is optimum use of this resource; and that the aggregation of resources is appropriate. Resource scheduling is important
nurses can use to obtain and capture a patient's medical history. The importance of these processes is to ensure that there will not be inadequate patient assessments, as these may result in adverse outcomes during the patient care. Preparation of the environment, good communication skills and ordering of the questions are very important in the process of acquiring patient history. There is no specific population stated in the article,
