Human resource requirements for quality-assured electronic data capture of the tuberculosis case register
Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | BMC Research Notes
Conclusions: This study quantifies differences between two countries for data entry time for the tuberculosis case register and frequencies of data entry errors and suggests that higher data entry speed is partially offset by requiring revisiting more records for corrections.

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:00:01 +0100 | Guardian Unlimited Science
Survey shows the use of anti-personnel mines in 2011 was the highest for seven yearsA crossparty group of MPs and peers will be launched on Thursday to combat the growing scourge of landmines, which kill and maim thousands of innocent people every year.The group, chaired by Pauline Latham, the Conservative MP for Mid Derbyshire, is being set up in the wake of a survey showing that the use of anti-personnel mines in 2011 was the highest for seven years."This danger must far outweigh their military effectiveness," Latham said. "Through this new all-party parliamentary group on landmines and unexploded weapons of conflict, we will be holding a number of investigations into their current use, the efforts of agencies to clear existing mines, and the ways we can provide them with every support."...

Paleoenvironmental history of the West Baray, Angkor (Cambodia) [Environmental Sciences]
Tue, 24 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Angkor (Cambodia) was the seat of the Khmer Empire from the 9th to 15th century AD. The site is noted for its monumental architecture and complex hydro-engineering systems, comprised of canals, moats, embankments, and large reservoirs, known as barays. We infer a 1,000-y, 14C-dated paleoenvironmental record from study of an approximately 2-m sediment core taken in the largest Khmer reservoir, the West Baray. The baray was utilized and managed from the time of construction in the early 11th century, through the 13th century. During that time, the West Baray received relatively high rates of detrital input. In the 14th century, linear sedimentation rates diminished by an order of magnitude, yielding a condensed section that correlates temporally with episodes of regional monsoon failure duri...

Typhoid Fever among Hospitalized Febrile Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:00:00 +0100 | Journal of Tropical Pediatrics
Typhoid fever was confirmed by positive blood culture in 5 (3.7%) of 134 febrile children hospitalized in Cambodia. Typhoid was suspected in an additional 25 (18.7 %) blood culture-negative children based on: a positive immunoglobulin M lateral flow assay (IgMFA) (16); a positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Salmonella typhi (2); or clinical assessment (7). The specificity of the IgMFA and PCR assays requires further study. (Source: Journal of Tropical Pediatrics)

Prevalence and risk factors for third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations during vaginal delivery: a multi-country study.
Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:22:00 +0100 | BJOG : An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Conclusions  Misdiagnosis of third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations in developing countries may be common. Correct recognition and diagnosis may lead to timely treatment and fewer sequelae. Risk factors of third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations in developing countries were similar to those previously reported from developed countries.
