Oral Agents Revised 2006:Use of oral agents for glycemic controlduring pregnancy complicated by GDMOver the past few years, oral agents have been reintroduced in themanagement of diabetes during pregnancy.30 There are several reviews ofsulfonylureas, biguanides, and glucosidase inhibitors used primarily inpregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes.9, 14, 32, 36, 39, 40 Oral agentswere once t
Case 10 Controlling Trachoma in Morocco Geographic area: morocco Health condition: in 992, a national survey found that just over 5 percent of morocco’s population had the blinding disease trachoma. nearly all the cases were concentrated in five poor, rural provinces in the southeast of the country where 25,000 people showed a serious decline in vision due to trachoma, 625,000 neede
