Decentralised Hepatitis C Management: A Simplified, Integrated Model of Care in a Primary Health Centre in Pakistan, August 2022–June 2023

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Pakistan has the world's highest hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence, yet access to HCV care remains limited. In collaboration with the Ministry of Health Sindh, Médecins Sans Frontières implemented a simplified, decentralised model for HCV screening and treatment at a government‐run primary health centre (PHC) in Baldia Town, Karachi, Pakistan.

A Novel q-PED Method: Precise Physical Properties of a Merger-origin Binary Cepheid OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recently, a double-lined binary classical Cepheid, OGLE-LMC-CEP-1347, was discovered with the orbital period ( P _orb  = 59 days), 5 times shorter than that of any binary Cepheid known before.

Highlights on eclipsing binary variables from Araucaria Project

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
The Araucaria Project, which main goal is to provide precise determination of the cosmic distance scale, has recently made a set of discoveries involving variable stars in binary systems. Among these discoveries we highlight three: 1% precise measurement

Comparison of Sofia 2 Respiratory Syncytial Virus Fluorescent Immunoassay to Real‐Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay in Children Under Two Years Old Hospitalized With Acute Respiratory Illness in Amman, Jordan: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in children, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Rapid diagnosis is important for management and infection control. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of Sofia 2 RSV fluorescent immunoassay (FIA) compared to reverse‐

Convection Theory and Related Problems in Stellar Structure, Evolution, and Pulsational Stability II. Turbulent Convection and Pulsational Stability of Stars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
Using our non-local and time-dependent theory of convection and a fixed set of convective parameters (C1,  C2/C1 ,   C3)= (0.70,   0.50,   3.0) calibrated against the Sun, the linear non-adiabatic oscillations for evolutionary models with masses 1–20 M ...

Invasive disease‐free and overall survival after (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy in postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor‐positive, HER2‐negative early breast cancer treated with upfront letrozole: Experiences from the phase IV PreFace trial

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 157, Issue 11, Page 2363-2373, 1 December 2025.
What's New? Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) can be highly effective for patients with early‐stage breast cancer. Patients with hormone receptor‐positive (HRpos), HER2‐negative (HER2neg) breast cancer, however, may benefit less from NACT. Here, the authors investigated survival outcomes with adjuvant chemotherapy or NACT in a population of ...

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia progression and regression among women living with HIV in Zambia

HIV Medicine, Volume 26, Issue 12, Page 1939-1949, December 2025.
Abstract Objectives Cervical screening and precancer treatment are less effective in women living with HIV (WLWH) than in women without HIV. We assessed high‐risk human papillomavirus (HR‐HPV) infection and cervical disease progression among screened WLWH in Zambia. Methods Participants underwent visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), HR‐HPV testing
