Estimating Causal Effects of Malaria Infection on Anaemia Among Children Under Five Years in Uganda: Evidence From a Cross‐Sectional Malaria Indicator Survey

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Malaria and anemia remain major public health challenges contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality among children under 5 years in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Although conventional regression analyses have reported a significant association between malaria infection and anemia, these approaches often inadequately ...

The FemTech revolution: Unlocking the potential of new technology for optimizing pregnancy outcomes in low‐ and middle‐income countries and remote areas

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 174, Issue 2, Page 530-553, August 2026.
Abstract Maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity rates uncover major global health disparities. Despite ongoing efforts, the rates of maternal and neonatal complications remain substantially higher in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) compared to high‐income countries (HICs). These high rates are the result of several unmet needs in LMICs,

Nocturnal Sleep Breathing Patterns in Healthy Adolescents Residing at Very High Altitudes in Bolivia

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Data on sleep and respiratory patterns among adolescents residing at very high altitude (> 3500 m) remain scarce, and altitude‐related physiological differences may influence these parameters. Studying adolescents at different very high altitudes is crucial, as subtle environmental variations could affect sleep‐related oxygenation and ...

Acute and chronic application of novel incremental breath‐hold technique increases endurance exercise performance in healthy men and male military personnel

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract We evaluated acute (Study A) and chronic (Study B) effects of a novel breath‐hold technique (BHT) protocol on performance in military personnel. In Study A, 11 healthy male participants completed either rest or a 40‐min BHT before 15 min steady‐state (SS) cycling at 80% V̇O2max and a 5‐min time trial (TT). BHT acutely increased V̇O2 (200.3%, p
