NOT ALL ARE LOST: INTERRUPTED LABORATORY MONITORING, EARLY DEATH, AND LOSS TO FOLLOW-UP (LTFU) IN A LARGE SOUTH AFRICAN TREATMENT PROGRAM.

Not all are lost: interrupted laboratory monitoring, early death, and loss to follow-up (LTFU) in a large South African treatment program.

Many HIV treatment programs in resource-limited settings are plagued by high rates of loss to follow-up (LTFU).Most studies have not distinguished between those who briefly interrupt, but return to care, and those more chronically lost to follow-up.We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 11,397 adults initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART) in

Investigation on the Properties of 3D Warp Interlock Fabrics Based on Moroccan Sisal Yarns as Reinforcement for Composite Materials

Despite the variability of Moroccan natural resources, few Moroccan natural fibers are exploited as natural textile composites.This study aims to investigate the characteristics of 3D warp interlock fabrics based on Moroccan sisal yarns.Before weaving, the characteristics of sisal yarns have been analyzed following standards.Based on these natural
