Campylobacter is associated with environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) and malnutrition in children. infection could be a linchpin between livestock fecal exposure health outcomes low-resource smallholder settings. We followed birth cohort of 106 infants rural households eastern Ethiopia up to 13 months age. measured anthropometry, surveyed sociodemographic determinants, collected stool urine samples. A short survey was conducted during monthly visits, infant samples were collected, spp....

Livestock farming provides a possible mechanism by which smallholder farmers can meet their household need for animal source foods (ASF), may reduce the risk of stunting. However, direct/indirect contacts with domestic animals increase colonization Campylobacter spp., has been associated Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED) and A cross-sectional study involving 102 randomly selected children between 12 16 months age was conducted in rural eastern Ethiopia to establish prevalence rates...
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 (

Agriculture, and particularly livestock animal source foods, has been closely linked to improvements in human nutrition. Production, income, women’s empowerment improve household food security child nutritional outcomes interacting ways. Khat production Eastern Ethiopia is changing the economic livelihood landscape for communities that have traditionally relied upon small-scale mixed agriculture production. How this shifting of women these are affecting not investigated. Using...
Screening of " drug-like" molecule from the molecular database produced through high throughput techniques and their large repositories requires robust classification. In our work, a set heuristically chosen nine descriptors including four Lipinski's rule, were used as classification parameter for screening "drug-like" molecules. The robustness was compared with fundamental Lipinski. Back propagation neural network based classifier applied on 60000 molecules of, "non Classification result...
Non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica infections cause a high disease burden in the United States with an estimated 1.2 million illnesses annually. The state of Florida consistently has relatively incidence compared to other states States. Nevertheless, studies regarding epidemiology nontyphoidal salmonellosis and its spatial temporal patterns were rarely reported. We examined 62,947 cases reported FL Health Charts between 2009 2018. Dominant serotypes circulating also explored using whole...
Undernutrition is an underlying cause of mortality in children under five (CU5) years age. Animal-source foods have been shown to decrease malnutrition CU5. Livestock are important reservoirs for Campylobacter bacteria, which recognised as risk factors child malnutrition. Increasing livestock production may be beneficial improving nutrition but these benefits negated by increased exposure and research needed evaluate the complex pathways infection applicable low-income middle-income...

Methods We followed birth cohort 106 infants community rural households eastern Ethiopia up to 13 months age. measured anthropometry, surveyed socio-demographic determinants, collected stool urine samples.

Abstract In eastern Ethiopia, production of khat has increased in recent years, with significant implications for women and sale. Women have long been engaged agricultural the region, yet shift from food crop to khat/cash on degree manner women’s engagement agriculture any related changes nutrition are largely unstudied. Using longitudinal data collected December 2020 June 2022 Haramaya woreda, East Hararghe Zone, this study aimed explore relationship between child nutritional outcomes, test...
Malnutrition is one of the most long-suffering problems facing women and children across world—it endemic to many low- low-middle income countries a leading comorbidity in CU5 mortality. food security are gendered issues; not only boys girls differently affected by these issues, but societal norms differing roles men often drivers different outcomes. The United Nations seeks address both malnutrition gender inequality reaching its Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Researchers have shown...
Identification of promoter region is an important part gene annotation. promoters in eukaryotes as modulate various metabolic functions and cellular stress responses. In this work, a novel approach utilizing intensity values tilling microarray data for model eukaryotic plant Arabidopsis thaliana, was used to specify from non-promoter region. A feed-forward back propagation neural network supported by genetic algorithm employed predict the class with window size 41. dataset comprising 2992...
The state of Florida reports a high burden non-typhoidal Salmonella enterica with approximately two times higher than the national incidence. We retrospectively analyzed population structure and molecular epidemiology 1,709 clinical isolates from 2017 2018. found 115 different serotypes. Rarefaction suggested that serotype richness did not differ between children under 2 years age older adults and, there are ~22 well-characterized dominant There were distinct differences in serotypes USA as...
To improve patient outcomes after trauma, the need to decrypt post-traumatic immune response has been identified. One prerequisite drive advancement in understanding that domain is implementation of surgical biobanks. This paper focuses on patients with one two diagnoses: arthritis and osteomyelitis. In creating biobanks, currently, many obstacles must be overcome. Roadblocks exist around scoping data collected, semantic integration these data. this paper, generic component model Semantic...
Abstract Nontyphoidal salmonellosis is the leading reported foodborne illness in Florida. Although diversity of Salmonella serotypes circulating Florida has been identified, geographical characteristics major are poorly described. Here we examined geospatial patterns 803 whole-genome sequenced isolates within seven (Enteritidis, Newport, Javiana, Sandiego, Braenderup, Typhimurium and I 4,[5],12:i:-) with metadata obtained from Department Health during 2017–2018. Geographically, distribution...
(1) Background: To examine miR-429-meditated DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box polypeptide 53 (DDX53) function in endometrial cancer (EC). (2) Methods: DDX53 and miR-429 levels were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction western blotting assays, cell invasion migration Transwell wound healing proliferation colony-forming/proliferation assays. A murine xenograft model was also generated to functions vivo. (3) Results: overexpression (OE) promoted key phenotypes...

Women's dietary diversity is often used as proxy for nutritional status it has important implications household food security. Karamoja's agriculture mainly based on livestock production, with many ethnic groups in the region that have different beliefs and practices, largest of those being Karamojong Pokot.
