Abstract Background The rapid spread of COVID-19 globally has prompted policymakers to evaluate the capacity health care infrastructure in their communities. Many hard-hit localities have witnessed a large influx severe cases that strained existing hospitals. As spreads India, it is essential country’s treat cases. Methods We combined data on public and private sector hospitals India produce state level estimates hospital beds, ICU mechanical ventilators. Based number from 2019 National...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is an emerging threat across the African continent where critical care capacity underdeveloped or unknown. In this paper, we describe national including number of ICU beds, ventilators, and physician non-physician anesthesia providers for 54 countries. Data was compiled from a variety resources World Bank databases, local international news media, government reports, healthcare workers, published scientific literature. Overall, data on physicians, hospital beds...
As of 13 January 2021, there have been 3 113 963 confirmed cases SARS-CoV-2 and 74 619 deaths across the African continent. Despite relatively lower numbers initially, many countries are now experiencing an exponential increase in case numbers. Estimates progression disease potential impact different interventions needed to inform policymaking decisions. Herein, we model possible trajectory 52 under intervention scenarios.We developed a compartmental transmission estimate COVID-19 burden for...
Pastoral livelihoods are evolving rapidly. The emergence of globalized markets and the integration production in developing countries have forced many pastoralists, along with rest world's consumers, to shift their economic strategies accommodate these markets. objective this paper is illustrate relationship between globalization apparent transformations pastoralist behaviour recent years. We specifically focus on links among climate, land use, herding rural northern Kenya. To do this, we...
<h3>Aims</h3> Infection remains the leading cause of neonatal mortality in developing countries. In Kenya, about 20% deaths are attributable to sepsis. We aim look at epidemiological pattern sepsis a county referral hospital Kenya. <h3>Method</h3> Retrospective data was collected for all admissions Newborn unit between 2011 2014 central calculated monthly rates cases, mortalities, and case fatality admissions. then plotted time series cases mortalities determine if there seasonal trend over...
Eco-immunological research is encumbered by a lack of basic in wild context and the availability few non-invasive tools to measure internal state animals. The recent development an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for measuring immunoglobulins faecal samples from Soay sheep prompted us optimize such immunoglobulin A (IgA: antibody associated with parasitic nematode fecundity) equids. We measured total IgA domestic donkeys, plains zebras, Grevy's zebras sharing same landscape central Kenya...
ABSTRACT Objectives As of August 24 th 2020, there have been 1,084,904 confirmed cases SARS-CoV-2 and 24,683 deaths across the African continent. Despite relatively lower numbers initially, many countries are now experiencing an exponential increase in case numbers. Estimates progression disease potential impact different interventions needed to inform policy making decisions. Herein, we model possible trajectory 52 under intervention scenarios. Design We developed a compartmental...
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are a leading cause of under-five mortality globally. In Kenya, the reported prevalence syncytial virus (RSV) in single-centre studies has varied widely. Our study sought to determine RSV infection children admitted with ARI fulfilling WHO criteria for bronchiolitis. This was prospective cross-sectional five hospitals across central and highland Kenya from April June 2015. Two hundred thirty-four participants were enrolled. The overall positive rate 8.1%,...
Objective: The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has rapidly emerged to become a global pandemic and is known cause high risk patients over the age of 70 those with co-morbidities, such as hypertension diabetes. Though children are at comparatively lower compared adults, Indian population large young demographic that likely be higher due exposure pollution, malnutrition poor access medical care. We aimed quantify potential impact COVID-19 on Indias child population. Methods: combined district...
Obwohl Problembasiertes Lernen inzwischen an Hochschulen praktiziert wird, spielt diese Methode in technisch ausgerichteten Studiengängen noch eine untergeordnete Rolle. Hochschulzugangsberechtigungen sind vielfältig geworden und heterogene Studentenschaft fordert von Lehrenden, unter Einsatz verschiedenster didaktischer Lehr- Lernformen, ein hohes Maß Flexibilität.Begründet auf Lehrerfahrungen zeigt sich, dass Studierende sehr unterschiedliches technisch-naturwissenschaftliches Vorwissen...
<h3>Background</h3> Acute respiratory infections (ARI) continue to be a leading cause of under-five mortality in the developing world. Distinguishing between bacterial and viral causes can challenging, although majority are likely viral, most treated as pneumonia. In Kenya, prevalence Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) previous, single-centre studies have varied greatly. <h3>Aims</h3> To determine RSV infection children admitted with ARI five hospitals analyse if there were any significant...
