Background: Malaria is a fatal, but preventable and curable parasitic disease that widespread in Africa. Insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) are one of the most effective preventive methods. The aim this study was to analyze economic social determinants women’s demand for ITN Cameroon.

BACKGROUND Malaria in pregnancy can have devastating consequences for mother and baby. Coverage with the WHO prevention strategy for sub-Saharan Africa of intermittent-preventive-treatment (IPTp) with two doses of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and insecticide-treated-nets (ITNs) in pregnancy is low. We analysed household survey data to evaluate the effectiveness of antenatal clinics (ANC) to ...

INTRODUCTION Idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia (ITN) is a common pain disease in elderly people. Many methods have been used to alleviate the pain of patients, but few studies in the literature have compared the effect of nerve combing and percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the clinical outcome of idiopathic trigeminal...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES In Ethiopia, nearly 10 million insecticide-treated bednets (ITNs) were distributed between 2004 and 2005; which touched 56 million in 2012. The study was aimed to determine the impact of these bednets on malaria prevalence, in Yaso district of Benishangul-Gumuz region, western Ethiopia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted during the peak malaria transmission ...

INTRODUCTION The objectives of the study were to evaluate the health system effectiveness of ANC for the delivery of a dose of IPTp and an ITN to women attending ANC during eligible gestation, and to identify the predictors of systems effectiveness. METHODS A cross sectional study was undertaken in 10 health facilities including structured non-participant observations of the ANC process for 7...

BACKGROUND In malaria-endemic countries, malaria prevention and treatment are critical for child health. In the context of intervention scale-up and rapid changes in endemicity, projections of intervention impact and optimized program scale-up strategies need to take into account the consequent dynamics of transmission and immunity. METHODS The new Spectrum-Malaria program planning tool was u...

BACKGROUND Malaria remains a major public health problem in Ethiopia. Consequently, Ethiopia designed the 2011-2015, Malaria Prevention and Control Strategic Plan to fight the vector. It was discovered that most of the studies conducted on the use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) were not in line with the strategic plan of the country. This study aimed to assess ITN ownership and utilization,...

The need for improved access to clinical trial data is widely recognized to ensure complete information is in the public domain, to honor the commitment of research subjects, and to empower and engage analytic talent across the worldwide biomedical community. Open access to patient-level data from clinical trials enables data transparency, fosters data sharing, and catalyzes research innovation...
