Cancer and other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are now widely recognized as a threat to global development. The latest United Nations high-level meeting on NCDs reaffirmed this observation also highlighted the slow progress in 2011 Political Declaration Prevention Control of Noncommunicable Diseases third Sustainable Development Goal. Lack situational analyses, priority setting, budgeting have been identified major obstacles achieving these goals. All common that they require information...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Measuring routine childhood vaccination is crucial to inform global vaccine policies and programme implementation, track progress towards targets set by the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) Immunization Agenda 2030. Robust estimates of coverage are needed identify past successes persistent vulnerabilities. Drawing from Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2020, Release 1, we did a systematic analysis global, regional, national trends using...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Universal access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities is an essential human right, recognised in the Sustainable Development Goals as crucial for preventing disease improving wellbeing. Comprehensive, high-resolution estimates are important inform progress towards achieving this goal. We aimed produce geospatial of facilities. <h3>Methods</h3> used a Bayesian geostatistical model data from 600 sources across more than 88 low-income...
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Previous Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) studies have reported national health estimates for Ethiopia. Substantial regional variations in socioeconomic status, population, demography, access to care within Ethiopia require comparable at the subnational level. The GBD 2019 analysis aimed measure progress disparities across nine regions two chartered cities. <h3>Methods</h3> We gathered 1057 distinct data sources all cities...
The immense potential of nanobiotechnology makes it an intensely researched field in modern medicine. Green nanomaterial synthesis techniques for medicinal applications are desired because their biocompatibility and lack toxic byproducts. We report the byproducts free phytosynthesis stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using bark extract traditional plant Acacia leucophloea (Fabaceae). Visual observation, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to...
Across low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), one in ten deaths children younger than 5 years is attributable to diarrhoea. The substantial between-country variation both diarrhoea incidence mortality interventions that protect children, prevent infection, treat disease. Identifying subnational regions with the highest burden mapping associated risk factors can aid reducing preventable childhood
Abstract The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of and 83,400 deaths children under 5 years old, 99% both occurred low- middle-income countries (LMICs) 1–4 . Globally comparable, annual, local estimates routine first-dose measles-containing (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP),...
Mobile phones of health care professionals could harbor microbes which cause nosocomial infections to the patient, family members, and community at large. Thus, aim this study was determine prevalence bacterial contamination mobile professionals, identify isolates, assess their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, define associated factors.A cross-sectional conducted from February March 2018 on 226 professionals' were selected by a simple random sampling technique. Data collected using...
The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial profile urinary tract infection (UTI) and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern among pregnant women attending at antenatal clinic in Dil Chora Referral Hospital, Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia.An institutional-based cross-sectional conducted from February 18, 2015 March 25, 2015. Clean-catch midstream urine specimens were collected 186 using sterile containers. Then, culture tests performed by standard disk diffusion method. Patient...
Organic molecule dithiocarbamate transition metal complexes are novel and very attractive pharmaceutical targets for the management control of antibiotic resistant bacteria. The direct reaction has synthesized new nickel (II), copper (II) potassium morpholine (K+C5H8NOS2−) ligands characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well NMR physicochemical techniques. Antibacterial bioefficacy ligand its been investigated in vitro on growth...
Abstract Objective To isolate bacteriocin- producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and to asses its preservative effects on food products. Methods Lactobacillus strain was isolated from chicken intestine using MRS broth (Hi-Media, India) at 37 °C for 48 h. The identified by 16s rRNA sequencing phylogenetic analysis. Bacteriocin produced, purified ammonium sulphate precipitation dialyzed. Antagonistic characteristics of bacteriocin were studied agar well diffusion method. stability in different...
Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis and characterization is an area of vast interest due to their broader application in the fields science technology medicine. Plants are attractive source for AgNP because its ability produce a wide range secondary metabolites with strong reducing potentials. Thus, present study describes AgNPs using aqueous rhizome extract
The aim of the study was to identify new sources substrate from agro-industrial waste for protease production using Bacillus sp., a local bacteria isolated an agro-waste dumping site. strain identified as sp. BT MASC 3 by 16S rRNA sequence followed phylogenic analysis. Response surface methodology-based Box–Behnken design (BBD) used optimize variables such pH, incubation time, coffee pulp (CPW) and corncob (CC) concentration. BBD showed reasonable adjustment quadratic model with experimental...
This study explored the prevalence of multi-drug resistance and virulence factors enterococcal isolates obtained from various clinical specimens (n = 1575) including urine, blood, pus, tissue, catheter, vaginal wash, semen, endotracheal secretions. Out 862 isolates, 388 (45%), 246 (29%), 120 (14%), 108 (13%) were identified as Enterococcus faecalis, faecium, durans, hirae, respectively, using standard morphological biochemical methods. The antibiotic profile all these was checked disc...
Ocimum basilicum is an important herbal medicinal plant that has not been previously investigated for its biological potential against multi-drug resistant (MDR) clinical pathogens. This study explored the efficiency of O. phytocompounds as potent inhibitors vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) via in vitro and silico analysis. An ethanolic extract showed antimicrobial activity 12 strains Enterococcus faecalis at varying concentrations. A total 19 phytochemicals were analysed ADMET...
