Implementation of an interactive mobile application to pilot a rapid assay to detect HIV drug resistance mutations in Kenya
Usability is an overlooked aspect of implementing lab-based assays, particularly novel assays in low-resource-settings. Esoteric instructions can lead to irreproducible test results and patient harm. To address these issues, we developed a software application based on “Aquarium”, a laboratory-operating system run on a computer tablet that provides step-by-step digital interactive instructions, protocol management, and sample tracking. Aquarium w…
Impact of a Cryptococcal meningitis diagnosis and treatment program at Lira Regional Referral Hospital in rural, Northern Uganda
In rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa, infrastructure and resources for treatment of cryptococcal meningitis (CM) are often lacking. We introduced a CM diagnosis and treatment program (CM-DTP) at Lira Regional Referral Hospital (LRRH) in rural Uganda to determine if implementing high-quality standard of care protocols would improve outcomes. Information extracted from hospital charts and clinical record forms at LRRH were used to compare diagnoses…
Saddam Hussein
The scene, a large smoke-filled room in Baghdad 40 years ago on July 22 1979. About a hundred unsuspecting Ba'athist party members sat listening to their newly installed president, Saddam Hussein, denouncing a conspiracy against him.

Muhyi Adbek Hussein, one of the senior Ba’athist leaders, proceeded to confess his r…
