Successful changes in the Niger context were found to be highly relevant in neighbouring Mali and helped to accelerate improved adherence with postpartum best practices in the 41 Mali maternities.
Knowing that ART could be life-saving, and fearing accelerated death through non-adherence or medication ineffectiveness, participants took such clinical advice to heart.
Strict adherence to the accelerated Done-by-One schedule was essential for the diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine series, which required 4 immunizations with a minimum 6-month interval.
The second reason was that standard techniques for adjusting time-to-event outcomes for non-adherence rely on fitting an accelerated failure time model.
The process of maturation of the secretory machinery in neonatal pancreatic islets involves cell-to-cell contact, expression of gap and adherence junctional proteins, and can be accelerated by prolactin [ 26].
The immobilized RGD peptide promoted cell adherence to the matrix, prevented cell apoptosis and accelerated cardiac tissue regeneration.
High rates of health worker adherence are required if the benefits of the new protocol are to be realised and the consequences of poor adherence, such as misdiagnosis, over- or under-treatment and the accelerated development of drug resistance, averted.
It compromises treatment adherence and accelerates disease progression.
Thus TLR2 appears to improve bacterial clearance by reducing adherence and accelerating pathogen uptake.
Although the widespread use of highly active ART successfully decreases HIV/AIDS-related mortality and morbidity [ 14, 15], suboptimal ART adherence may accelerate the emergence of drug resistant viruses [ 16] and compromise ART efficacy in treated individuals and transmission recipients.
