Research

1. Development and Clinical Evaluation of Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT).

A broad program in the development and use of QCT to study specific clinic problems. It included the development of a computerized analysis system to generate statistical data on various parameters associated with QCT and bone mineral. Worked under the direction of Harry K. Genant, University of California, San Francisco, Department of Radiology. (1982-1984).

2. Respiratory Illnesses in the Philippines A study of the various parameters affecting the health of Filipinos living on the island of Mactan, particularly those impacting on respiratory disease, was performed in January 1988. The study included a door-to-door survey and examination of 463 families and a case-selected survey of hospital admissions. In addition to gathering subjective and objective information about respiratory illnesses, measurements of childhood age, weight and arm circumference were performed. (1988).
3. Comprehensive Primary Health Care in Nepal - A Case Study Returning to the district I worked in eight years before, I evaluated one example of an integrated primary health care (PHC) project in Nepal, the United Mission to Nepal's Community Development and Health Project. A door-to-door survey was performed to compare services before and after the implementation of PHC. Villagers, health workers, and program administrators were asked about their attitudes and priorities regarding primary health care.

(1990-Medical School Thesis).

4. Primary Health Care and Nutrition in Rural Kenya Participatory Rural Appraisal, an approach to developing community-based resource management plans, was used to assess primary health care and childhood nutrition for a rural community in Machakos, Kenya. An international team of medical students and physicians from the USA, the Philippines, Germany, Lithuania, USSR, and Kenya participated in the assessment. A drop in nutritional status in the second year of life demonstrated the potential effect of weaning on malnutrition (1990).
5. Effects of Living in Refugee Camps on Cambodian Children Conducted a descriptive study of the physical, social and psychological effects on children living in Site-2, one of the Displaced Person camps along the Thai-Cambodia border. Research was based primarily on interviews with people and staff living and working in the camp. (1991)
6. Bartonella (Rochalimaea) quintana Infection in the Homeless Community Collaborated with David H. Spach on examining the potential clinical importance of Bartonella quintana (Bq) infection. A case report and review of the literature postulates Bq as another important cause of culture-negative endocarditis. In addition, a case-control study at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle showed that Bq was an important occult source of fever in debilitated patients, and that homelessness was a significant risk factor for Bq-induced fevers. (1993-4).
7. Natural History and Related-Conditions of HIV Infection in South Africa Developed a comprehensive clinical observational database for Johannesburg General Hospital HIV Clinic including over 2000 complete medical records of HIV-infected patients from 1985-1997. Worked with Drs. David Spencer and Malcolm Steinberg to describe effects of Vitamins on HIV disease progression as well as incidences of opportunistic infections. A description and analysis of clinic utilization was also performed. Data presented at 5th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections and 12th World AIDS Conference. (1994-2000)
8. Medical Knowledge-Acquisition, Storage, Retrieval and Transfer Working as Co-Director of the Allied Disciplines Project and a Visiting Scholar at Wolfson College, Cambridge University (UK), developed heuristic model for communication within health care systems. Combining experience in medical informatics, general medicine, linguistics, operational communications, anthropology, history and engineering, the model uses an optical metaphor to identify critical processes for effective communication of medical knowledge. In addition, a unique methodology for mapping of standardized concepts to medical reference with authenticated distribution over the Internet was developed along with the Cambridge Centre for Clinical Informatics.
9. Medical Terminology and Health Information Systems in Resource-poor Settings Most of my current research involves the implementation of multi-lingual, multi-national health information systems in resource-poor settings through design, implementation and evaluation/research of the open source Millennium Global Village-Network (MGV-Net), and the common, multilingual data dictionary which lies at its center.

7 Community Development

1. Community Development Worker - Water Development/Health Project:

United Mission to Nepal/Project Nepal, Kathmandu, Nepal 9/79-12/79 Worked with Nepali staff on water development project in which 13,000 meters of PVC pipe was laid along the mountain ridges of Ikudol Panchayat. Also worked with a health assistant in a remote rural health clinic.

2. Coordinator - Project 88, Community Development Project: Harvard Medical School and Mactan Island, the Philippines 3/87-1/88 Helped organize a one month community service project on Mactan island in the Philippines.

Participants were Harvard medical students, who were responsible for project design, fundraising and evaluation. The project centered around the study of respiratory diseases and the construction of health clinics. Designed and constructed a village latrine and started mini-project to fund ongoing latrine construction throughout the island.

3. Program Leader-Public Health and Diplomacy Project: Harvard School of Public Health and Machakos, Kenya 3/90-8/90 Developed and coordinated project in which medical students and physicians from East, West and South (represented by the USA, Philippines, Germany, Lithuania, Russia, and Kenya),

worked together on a public health project in Kenya. Primary responsibilities included recruiting participants, fundraising, and project design. Project was part of a larger program designed to provide the participants with a unique experience of international cooperation for health.

Emphasis was placed on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) in the area of nutrition.
