ABSTRACT
China was certificated malaria-free by WHO in 2021 and has continued to maintain malaria elimination. However, there are still huge challenges in malaria control in the border regions between Yunnan Province, China and Myanmar due to lack of geographic barriers and frequent cross-border travel. Hereby, we review the direction contributions of the Global Fund Malaria Program implemented by Health Poverty Action (HPA), an international non-governmental organization (NGO), to malaria elimination in China, and analyze the challenges of malaria control caused by external environmental factors, such as COVID-19, in regions where the Global Fund Malaria Program is implemented. In addition, some suggestions are proposed for cross-border collaboration on malaria control.
ABSTRACT
Repeatitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can adjust cortical excitability and improve swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after stroke. High frequency stimulations with 90% to 130% resting motor threshold (rMT) in the early stage, as well as low frequency stimulations with 100% to 130% rMT for 1200 pulse in the recovery period, may be beneficial to the recovery of swallowing function, and bilateral stimulation may be more effective.
