TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the factors affecting the academic performance of international students in project management courses and find that the factors: level of details given in lectures, speed of lectures, academic internet sources, English language skills, group or individual assessment, the qualitative/quantitative content of assessment are important drivers of academic performance.

TL;DR: Impact on cumulative HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and HIV-associated-tuberculosis deaths, over 20 years, of harm-reduction programmes to reduce needle-sharing and injection-frequency amongst injecting drug users and multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB) control in a population with an explosive HIV epidemic in IDUs and high MDRTB prevalence is determined.

TL;DR: Control of multidrug resistant tuberculosis control should be an urgent priority in a population that is witnessing an explosive HIV epidemic among injecting drug users (IDUs), where the prevalence of MDRTB is already high.

TL;DR: Evaluating the potential operational and financial benefits, which could be achieved through increased integration of community services in the delivery of treatment and care to Parkinson’s disease patients in the UK without compromising care quality, found the simulation model was useful in predicting the effects of increased use ofcommunity services on the performance of PD care delivery.

TL;DR: High population coverage with HAART (75% or higher), allied with high MDRTB cure rates, reduces cumulative deaths by 60%, with limited impact below this level, while high coverage withHAART is required to substantially reduce the number of deaths from tuberculosis.
