BMC Medicine | Abstract | The role of nutrition in integrated programs to control neglected tropical diseases
biomedcentral.com — “There are strong and direct relationships between undernutrition and the disease caused by infectious organisms, including the diverse pathogens labeled as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Undernutrition increases the risk of infection, the severity of disease and the risk that children will die, while the physical damage, loss of appetite, and host responses during chronic infection can contribute substantially to undernutrition. These relationships are often synergistic. This opinion articl” View full resource at biomedcentral.com

BMC Public Health | Abstract | "Sometimes they used to whisper in our ears": health care workers' perceptions of the effects of abortion legalization in Nepal
biomedcentral.com — “Unsafe abortion has been a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Nepal. Since legalization in 2002, more than 1,200 providers have been trained and 487 sites have been certified for the provision of safe abortion services. Little is known about health care workers' views on abortion legalization, such as their perceptions of women seeking abortion and the implications of legalization for abortion-related health care.” View full resource at biomedcentral.com

BMC Infectious Diseases | Abstract | Seroprevalence of avian influenza A (H5N1) virus among poultry workers in Jiangsu Province, China: an observational study
biomedcentral.com — “Since 2003 to 06 Jan 2012, the number of laboratory confirmed human cases of infection with avian influenza in China was 41 and 27 were fatal. However, the official estimate of the H5N1 case-fatality rate has been described by some as an over estimation since there may be numerous undetected asymptomatic/mild cases of H5N1 infection. This study was conducted to better understand the real infection rate and evaluate the potential risk factors for the zoonotic spread of H5N1 viruses to humans.” View full resource at biomedcentral.com

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making | Abstract | Evaluating the impact of patients' online access to doctors' visit notes: designing and executing the OpenNotes project
biomedcentral.com — “Providers and policymakers are pursuing strategies to increase patient engagement in health care. Increasingly, online sections of medical records are viewable by patients though seldom are clinicians' visit notes included. We designed a one-year multi-site trial of online patient accessible office visit notes, OpenNotes. We hypothesized that patients and primary care physicians (PCPs) would want it to continue and that OpenNotes would not lead to significant disruptions to doctors' practices.” View full resource at biomedcentral.com
