RELYING ON WIDAL TEST ALONE COULD LEAD TO OVER DIAGNOSIS OF TYPHOID FEVER: FINDINGS FROM A RECORDS REVIEW OF FEBRILE PATIENTS AT DAMPHU HOSPITAL, BHUTAN, 2011-2012

Introduction: The Widal test is widely used in hospitals in Bhutan for diagnosis of typhoid fever.The right test with high sensitivity and specificity supplements clinical judgement and contributes to correct diagnosis of disease.This study focuses on the contribution of the Widal test in the diagnosis of typhoid fever.Methods: Data was collected f

Recent innovations Security in ROI camera systems have opened up the avenue for exploring energy optimization techniques like adaptive subsampling.Generally speaking, image frame capture and read-out demand high power consumption.ROI camera systems make it possible to exploit the inverse relation between energy consumption and spatiotemporal pixel

In the future liquid biofuels will need to be renewable, sustainable, as well as technically and economically viable.This paper provides an overview of the challenges that the biochemical production of cellulosic ethanol process still faces.The main emphasis of the paper is on challenges that emerge from the scale of liquid biofuel production.These

A programme of archaeological trial trenching and excavation was undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd between Maryport (Alavna) Roman Fort and Netherhall Road on the north-eastern outskirts of Maryport from 2010 to 2016.The work confirmed the presence of Hayward HCP 3000 Series Parts a large sub-square ditched enclosure with two phases of construction

Non-human primate (NHP) spinal cord injury experiments exhibit high intersubject variability in biomechanical parameters even when a consistent impact protocol is applied to each subject.Optimizing impact parameters to reduce this variability through experiments is logistically challenging in NHP studies.Finite element models provide a complimentar
