Although assessing the nutritional status of pregnant women is becoming a common research agenda, evidence on food consumption scores, particularly among rural residents, limited. This study aimed to assess level score and associated factors in Haramaya district, eastern Ethiopia, 2021.
In our previous cross-sectional study, multiple species of Campylobacter were detected (88%) in stool samples from children (12 to 14 months age) rural eastern Ethiopia. This study assessed the temporal fecal carriage infants and identified putative reservoirs associated with these infections same region. The prevalence load determined using genus-specific real-time PCR. Stool 106 (
Background Managing severe acute malnutrition (SAM) involves an outpatient therapeutic program (OTP), targeting more than 80% of SAM children where the quality primary healthcare remains poor. Treatment success and recovery from remain poor could be affected by many factors, such evidence is limited in East Hararghe. This study assessed predictors time to eastern Ethiopia. Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted on 402 records under 5 years age enrolled OTP at 12 health posts retrieved...
Although evidence exists on the impact of microbiota pregnancy outcomes in many high-resource settings, there is a lack research low-resource settings like Ethiopia. This study aims to fill this gap by studying gut and vaginal changes throughout assess how these relate among cohort pregnant women eastern Vaginal stool samples will be collected using DNA/RNA Shield Collection kits three times starting at 12-22 weeks, 28-36 weeks birth (within 7 days). Postnatally, newborns' skin swabs (at...
ABSTRACT Objective Extreme climatic events, like droughts, are increasing in frequency and severity. Droughts disrupt community livelihoods resources with serious implications for human biology. This study investigated how chronic stress, measured by fingernail cortisol concentration (FCC), water insecurity status were predictive of C‐reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker inflammation, during historic drought among Daasanach seminomadic pastoralists. Methods Data collected at the height 2022...
