Health workers’ perspectives on self-monitoring of blood pressure by pregnant women
INTRODUCTION: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) are a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity globally but could be mitigated through accurate and timely blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) in pregnancy is an emerging approach for the management of HDPs but mainly studied from the perspectives of pregnant women, in high-income contexts, or tertiary care. This qualitative study explored healt…

We conducted a randomized clinical trial with 57 geriatric patients…

This matters to the future of global public health as the "Health Internet" has begun to emerge as the predominant source of health information for consumers and patients. Despite this increasing use and relian…
Feasibility of a clearing house for improved cooperation between telemedicine networks delivering humanitarian services
BACKGROUND: Telemedicine networks, which deliver humanitarian services, sometimes need to share expertise to find particular experts in other networks. It has been suggested that a mechanism for sharing expertise between networks (a 'clearing house') might be useful. OBJECTIVE: To propose a mechanism for implementing the clearing house concept for sharing expertise, and to confirm its feasibility in terms of acceptability to the relevant networks…
