Introduction Severe and moderate acute malnutrition (SAM MAM) affect more than 50 million children worldwide yet 80% of these do not access care. The Combined Protocol for Acute Malnutrition Study (ComPAS) trial assessed the effectiveness a simplified, combined SAM/MAM protocol aged 6–59 months found non-inferior recovery compared to standard To further inform policy, this study post-discharge outcomes treated with novel in Kenya. Methods Six ‘combined’ clinics SAM MAM using an optimised...
Background An estimated 49.5 million children under five years of age are wasted. There is a lack robust studies on effective interventions to prevent wasting. The aim this study was identify and prioritise the main outstanding research questions in relation wasting prevention inform future agendas. Method A prioritisation exercise conducted following Child Health Nutrition Research Initiative method. Identified gaps were compiled from multiple sources, categorised into themes streamlined...
Helminth infections caused by schistosomes and soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) are among the most prevalent afflictions of humans who live in areas poverty developing world. The level morbidity mortality these helminthes requires urgent intervention. This study reports on epidemiological mapping intervention strategies for control schistosomiasis STH Nigeria. Epidemiological survey prevalence was conducted Nigeria between November 2013 May 2015 19 States Federation Federal Capital...
Acute malnutrition is currently divided into severe (SAM) and moderate (MAM) based on level of wasting. SAM MAM have separate treatment protocols products, managed by international agencies. For SAM, the dose allocated child's weight. A combined simplified protocol for MAM, with a standardised ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF), being trialled non-inferior recovery rates may be more cost-effective than current standard treating MAM. This economic evaluation ComPAS trial, cluster-randomised...
Abstract Systematic reviews have highlighted that repeated severe wasting after receiving treatment is likely to be common, but standardised measurement needed urgently. The Council of Research & Technical Advice for Acute Malnutrition (CORTASAM) released recommendations on standard relapse (wasting within 6 months exiting as per recommended discharge criteria), regression before reaching criteria) and reoccurrence exit from criteria). We provide a theoretical framework post‐treatment...

This paper describes a highly successful community water supply program that was part of cooperative effort between Brazil's Ministry Health and the Institute for Inter-American Affairs United States. The Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública (SESP) built hundreds small supplies across Brazil from 1942 to 1991 with an extremely low failure rate. When it evaluated in 1960, by team specialists International Cooperation Association (USAID's predecessor), they found rate less than 1%. sustainability...
Brazil is now considered a rising economic power, rich in natural resources and innovative uses of agricultural products produced its vast rural interior.One example, the use ethanol as major fuel source, has been hailed achievement both economically politically.Yet, this article makes plain, emergence very recent origins was not accomplished without restructuring health system.In installment Public Health Chronicles, we learn early efforts during World War II to provide care Brazil's...
Program decision-making to prevent and treat acute malnutrition in an emergency can be hampered by a lack of accessible relevant overviews directly available robust research evidence. There is often evidence from related settings such as low-income countries, but this dispersed across many databases, may inaccessible requires assessment its relevance the humanitarian setting. We describe process whereby multi-disciplinary, international group specialists worked together build effective...
Child wasting (low weight for height) affects approximately 49.5 million children under five years globally. The aim of the Health Research Initiative (CHNRI) prioritisation exercise, performed on behalf 'No Wasted Lives', was to identify and prioritise key outstanding research questions that would enable child be treated more effectively at greater scale. This quantitative dataset contains responses 313 participants a survey questionnaire approaches acute malnutrition treatment. Data...
