THE ROLE OF SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN THE RISK AND PREVENTION OF GROUP A STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTION, ACUTE RHEUMATIC FEVER AND RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

The role of social determinants of health in the risk and prevention of group A streptococcal infection, acute rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease: A systematic review.

BackgroundRheumatic heart disease (RHD) poses a major disease burden among disadvantaged populations globally.It results from acute rheumatic fever (ARF), a complication of Group A Streptococcal (GAS) infection.These conditions are acknowledged as diseases of poverty, however the role of specific social and environmental factors in GAS infection an

High Contrast Far-Field Radiative Thermal Diode

Abstract We propose a theoretical concept of a far-field radiative thermal rectification device that uses a phase change material to achieve a high degree of asymmetry in radiative heat transfer.The proposed device has a multilayer structure on one side and a blackbody on other side.The multilayer structure consists of transparent thin film of KBr
