Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a sensitive and specific method for diagnosing schistoso-
miasis. However, this method should be performed in a laboratory, usually located distant from the sample collection
site. Therefore, it is important to have fas...t sampling preservation methods, which allow simple transport prior to DNA
extraction and amplification. The aim of this study was to verify if blood samples applied to filter paper are suitable for
analysis of Schistosoma mansoni DNA by real-time PCR.

The current document is anupdate of the guidelines developed by the EUCAST subcommittee on detection of resistance mechanisms. The EUCAST Steering Committee has carried out the current update. The document has been developed mainly for routine use in clinical laboratories and doesnot cover technical... procedures for identification of resistance mechanisms at a molecular level by reference or expert laboratories. However, much of the content is also applicable tonational reference laboratories. Furthermore, it is important to note that the document does not cover screening for asymptomatic carriage (colonization) of multidrug-resistant microorganismsor direct detectionof resistancein clinical samples.

Healthy Settings, a key component of Malawi’s Health Sector Strategic Plan (HSSP) 2011–2016, is the World Health Organization’s (WHO) holistic community-led approach to achieving health improvement by addressing social determinants of health, an approach which is central to the current WHO fra...mework on integrated people-centred health services. Healthy Settings projects by their construct have many different components which vary from one group and community to another depending on their priorities: from housing, hospital improvements and waste management to “softer” interventions like leadership skills training and health promotion. It can be challenging to find relevant indicators to monitor and assess the impact of such a complex holistic project, this paper explores if social capital data can provide useful impact assessment indicators at the start of such a project.

Основна мета підготовки цієї монографії – ознайомити українське суспільство з рівнем поширення серед підлітків тютюнокуріння, вживання алкоголю, наркотичних ре...овин та вирізнити тенденції останніх кількох років. Соціологічні опитування є практично єдиним джерелом такої інформації, оскільки жодні статистичні показники не відображають поведінкових практик будьяких груп населення, не дають можливості виміру поширення шкідливих звичок, кількості та асортименту повсякденного вживання тютюну, алкоголю та інших психоактивних речовин.
