UNDERSTANDING BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS TO CLINIC ATTENDANCE AND MEDICATION ADHERENCE AMONG ADULTS WITH HYPERTENSIVE URGENCY IN TANZANIA

Understanding barriers and facilitators to clinic attendance and medication adherence among adults with hypertensive urgency in Tanzania

Hypertensive urgency is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events and premature deaths.Lack of medication adherence is associated with poor health outcomes among patients with hypertensive urgency in resource-limited settings.To inform the development of tailored interventions to improve health outcomes in this population, this study aimed at u

Monte Carlo simulations of the distributions of intra- and extra-vesicular ions and membrane associated charges in hybrid liposomes composed of negatively charged tetraether and zwitterionic diester phospholipids

Here, we model a negatively charged lipid vesicle, composed of a mixture of bipolar tetraether and diester (or diether) phospholipid molecules, by a spherical shell that has zero ion permeability.We take into consideration all the charge-charge interactions between intra-vesicular ions, extra-vesicular ions, and membrane lipid associated charges.Mo
