Despite the development of point-of-care diagnostic tests for syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, and trichomoniasis, none comply with all WHO criteria. This analysis overviews landscape analyses of point-of-care diagnostic technologies for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Trichomonas vagi...nalis and syphilis, available and in the pipeline. The target audience for the target product profiles is broad and includes clinicians, researchers working on diagnostics, laboratory experts, including, microbiologists and virologists, public health experts, epidemiologists, developers, and representatives for manufactures, including biotech engineers, policy-and decision-makers as well as representatives from regulatory bodies and agencies, donor agencies and international organizations.

his document, a first of its kind, clearly sets out the standards for rehabilitation and provides guidance on building or strengthening the capacity of EMTs in this area.The importance of early rehabilitation for functional outcomes is well documented. Rehabilitation needs can pe...rsist far beyond the departure of EMTs; therefore, close, supportive collaboration must be established with local services. Emergency response presents an opportunity to rebuild devastated health systems and build local rehabilitation capacity. This document emphasizes the importance of aligning practices to the local context and maximizing opportunities for training and mentorship. The minimum standards and recommendations described will result in faster access of patients to rehabilitation services and equipment and a better transition between EMTs and local health facilities.

Report on the PCB Bureau on UNAIDS' funding situation based on the recommendations of the informal multistakeholder task team
Цель: проведение анализа психоэмоциональных расстройств у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом, не по-лучающих никакого лечения по поводу этих нарушений. Материал и м...етоды. Для работы отобрана когорта пациентов с достоверным диагнозом рассеянного склероза, согласно критериям Ч. Позера, в составе 163 че-ловек. Использовался четырехмерный симптоматический опросник для оценки дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации (4DSq) и самоопросник для оценки симптомов фибромиалгии с оценкой количественных показателей (WPI, SS, FS). Результаты. Показаны различия средних значений уровня дистресса, депрессии, тревоги и соматизации у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом разного пола, возраста, с разным типом течения и длительностью заболевания. Заключение. Нервно-психический статус пациентов зависит от типа течения заболевания, уровень дистресса — от возраста и пола, уровень соматизации — от возраста данной категории больных. В комплексном лечении данной категории больных необходимо использовать помимо патогенетиче-ской терапии симптоматическое лечение, не только оказывающее нейротрофический и вазоактивный эффект, но и влияющее на психоэмоциональный фон пациентов.

Many low-resource settings have a shortage of physicians and health workers. (1) In order to provide patient-centred continuous care more effectively, primary care systems can include team-based care strategies in their clinic workflows and protocols. Team-based care uses multidisciplinary teams (wh...ich may involve new staff, or the shifting of tasks among existing staff). Teams can include patients themselves, primary care physicians, and other allied health professionals, such as nurses, pharmacists, counsellors, social workers, nutritionists, community health workers, or others. Teams reduce the burden on physicians by utilizing the skills of trained health workers. Strong evidence shows that team-based care is effective in improving hypertension control among patients in a cost-effective way. (2) Some amount of task shifting/team-based care is already taking place in many settings; this module provides further guidance on how to maximize this approach for greater impact.
