HEALTH GAINS AND FINANCIAL PROTECTION FROM PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINATION AND PNEUMONIA TREATMENT IN ETHIOPIA: RESULTS FROM AN EXTENDED COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS.

Health Gains and Financial Protection from Pneumococcal Vaccination and Pneumonia Treatment in Ethiopia: Results from an Extended Cost-Effectiveness Analysis.

BACKGROUND:Pneumonia and pneumococcal disease cause a large disease burden in resource-constrained settings.We pursue an extended cost-effectiveness analysis (ECEA) of two fully publicly financed interventions in Ethiopia: pneumococcal vaccination for newborns and pneumonia treatment for under-five children in Ethiopia.METHODS:We apply ECEA methods

A Comparison of RNA-Seq Results from Paired Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded and Fresh-Frozen Glioblastoma Tissue Samples.

The molecular classification of glioblastoma (GBM) based on gene expression might better explain outcome and response to treatment than clinical factors.Whole transcriptome sequencing using next-generation sequencing platforms is rapidly becoming accepted as a tool for measuring gene expression for both research and clinical use.Fresh frozen (FF) t
