Treatment success (i.e., patients with bacteriologically documented cure and those who completed treatment) was attained for 88% of new and 60% of retreatment TB patients. Among new, culture-positive pulmonary case-patients, 88% were either cured or completed treatment; this proportion declined to 81% for patients identified as smear-positive at diagnosis.
Publisher. A+E Networks. Folk singer Woody Guthrie writes one of his best-known songs, âThis Land is Your Land.â. Born in Okemah, Oklahoma, in 1912, Guthrie lived and wrote of the real West, a place of hard-working people and harsh environments rather than romantic cowboys and explorers.
Originally titled God Blessed America, Guthrie wrote this as a parody of Irving Berlin's  God Bless America .. When Guthrie started wrote the song in 1940, the last line in the chorus was God blessed America for me, which Guthrie eventually changed into This land was made for you and me.. It evolved into a protest anthem as generations of folk singers performed the song, but it is often misinterpreted as a patriotic song.
