The sensor consists of a two-element antenna array, operating at microwave or millimeter wave frequencies, remotely interrogated by a reader. The elements are stuck on the two sides of a crack to be monitored, no matter how large the crack is.

We conducted a systematic review of treatment regimens for active TB, to assess the effect of duration and intermittency of rifampin use on TB treatment outcomes.

Shorter and safer regimens are needed.

We conducted a systematic review of published evidence of treatment of patients with a history of previous treatment or documented isoniazid mono-resistance.
