UNICEF is also focused on scaling-up integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) which targets pneumonia and diarrhea, and in some instances also malnutrition.
However, recruitment for the first 24 patients was limited to the three CMS targets, pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure.
By not targeting pneumonia specifically for treatment in the second arm, we incur a dilution effect, thereby reducing our ability to achieve significant differences.
The diseases they target — hepatitis, pneumonia, meningitis, and diarrhea— are among the world's leading causes of mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries.
Real-time PCR was further utilized to quantitatively analyze the subpopulation of microbiota using group-specific primers targeting Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
When the impacts of programs targeting HIV, pneumonia, and maternal health are included, the economic opportunity is substantial -- especially for Americans and American companies.
A third real-time PCR assay was designed to assess contamination with Mycoplasma spp. The assays targeting C. pneumoniae detected DNA concentrations corresponding to 104 to 10−4 inclusion-forming units (IFU /reaction and were highly specific.
Polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) targeting Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia.
Briefly, the microarray contains 3425 oligos (70 mers) replicated four times targeting S. pneumoniae open reading frames (ORFs) and 10 amplicons and 500 oligos targeting ORFs of Arabidopsis thaliana as a negative control.
