Better drug regimens for mass drug administration (MDA) could accelerate the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF). This community study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of MDA with IDA (ivermectin, diethylcarbamazine and albendazole) or DA (diethylcarbamazine and ...albendazole) in India.

The indices will provide an evidence-based tool for the main actors in the health  sector  to  identify  gaps, to  intervene  accordingly  and  to  assess  the  impact  of  their interventions on the health  system.  The process  of constructing the indices  includes description and selection of variables, application  of normalization techniques and weighting  methods,  and  sensitivity analysis. 
A  literature  review, analysis  of  the scope  of the HeRAMS database, analysis of the  crisis situation, data limitation and expert consultations were the main aspects of the construction process of the indices.

Перспективным направлением может стать модификация микробиома кишечника. Основанием для разработок в этой области являются приведенные в обзоре данные исследований, подтверждающих значимость состава кишечной флоры в регуляции психических функций, в частности настроения и поведения, роль диеты в развитии депрессий. Обсуждена гипотеза о роли микробиома кишечника в развитии депрессивных расстройств. http://www.ssmj.ru/system/files/2016_02_168-174.pdf

While plastic waste presents an immediate threat to marine wildlife and ecosystems, this global challenge al...so has implications for major industries such as fishing and tourism, impacting the livelihoods of millions of people. The drivers and impacts of ocean plastic pollution also contribute to global challenges in food security, human health, and climate change.

In many ways, the future is now. Today’s actions and decisions will determine the future children inherit. 
Unfortunately, today's children live in a world fraught with crises, poverty and discrimination. Where far too many are deprived of... opportunities to meet their full potential. 
We can and must do better.
The future of childhood hangs in the balance.
This year’s State of the World’s Children Report examines the forces and trends shaping our world today and reflects on how they might shape the future.
The report explores three megatrends that will profoundly impact children’s lives between now and 2050: demographics shifts, the climate and environmental crises and frontier technologies.
It also presents three future scenarios – possible outcomes, not predictions – for how children could experience the world of 2050.
As we consider what we can do today, our responsibility is clear: now is the time to shape a better future for every child.

This was an independent evaluation conducted in 2015 by Amaltas, a Delhi based organization. The evaluation highlights the progress in five countries, namely Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mya...nmar, Nepal and Sri Lanka and provides specific recommendations for Organizational Learning and Development. This report will be useful for all those interested in WHO's work on Maternal Health Program in the Region.

Practical manual developed using open source products like Quantum GIS , RStudio, Google Earth Pro and Google Earth Engine.
This module can also can be used by other training facilitators, non-technical professionals and selflearners as well. However, it is strongly recommended that training participants and self-learners already have some basic knowledge of Computer Basic, Geoinformatics and disaster management.
