Health System Resilience and Afghan Refugee Health in Pakistan: An Exploratory Study of Challenges and Pathways to Inclusion

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pakistan has hosted Afghan refugees for more than four decades, in one of the world's most protracted displacements of people. Afghan refugees receive health services through United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and non‐governmental organisation (NGO) supported programmes alongside public sector facilities at every tier.

Attrition, physical integrity and insecticidal activity of long-lasting insecticidal nets in sub-Saharan Africa and modelling of their impact on vectorial capacity

Malaria Journal, 2020
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the primary malaria prevention and control intervention in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. While LLINs are expected to last at least 3 years under normal use conditions, they can lose effectiveness ...

Vaccinations in pregnancy: An update for a changing time

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Maternal immunization is one of the most effective public health interventions to reduce infectious morbidity and mortality in pregnant women, fetuses, and newborns. Despite robust evidence supporting vaccine safety and effectiveness in pregnancy, global uptake has declined following the COVID‐19 pandemic, contributing to resurgent outbreaks ...

The causes of holes and loss of physical integrity in long‐lasting insecticidal nets

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are expected to last for at least 3 years, but whilst this may be achieved from an insecticidal perspective, physical protection is frequently compromised much earlier because of the rapid accumulation of

Exposure–Recovery Approach for Hepatic Toxicity Analysis of Pyrethroid Lambda‐Cyhalothrin: Histopathological, Histochemical, and Biochemical Responses in Oreochromis niloticus

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lambda‐cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used in agriculture, but its potential to contaminate aquatic ecosystems and exert high toxicity on fish at low concentrations raises ecotoxicological concerns. While standard histopathological and biochemical assessments are common, the novel integration of pigment‐based ...

LLIN Evaluation in Uganda Project (LLINEUP): factors associated with ownership and use of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Uganda: a cross-sectional survey of 48 districts

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are a key malaria control intervention. To investigate factors associated with ownership and use of LLINs in Uganda, a cross-sectional community survey was conducted in March–June 2017, approximately 3 ...

Effects of Glyphosate and Glyphosate‐Based Herbicides on the Mammalian Gut Microbiome: A Critical Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate has long been considered to pose negligible direct risk to mammals on the grounds that its molecular target, 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (EPSPS), of the shikimate pathway, is absent from animal cells. This rationale is inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument, because the shikimate pathway is present in some ...

Effects of Educational Intervention on Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets Use in a Malarious Area, Southeast Iran [PDF]

Acta Medica Iranica, 2012
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have been advocated as an effective tool against malaria transmission. However, success of this community based intervention largely depends on the knowledge and practice regarding malaria and its prevention ...

Beyond a dual role: how Purpureocillium lilacinum reprograms citrus metabolism for integrated biocontrol and growth promotion

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Styrene and its natural analogues: accumulation and sustainable production methods

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Styrene, also known as vinyl benzene, is a colourless, highly volatile petrochemical that serves as a key monomer in the production of polystyrene and styrene‐butadiene rubber. Its industrial synthesis via the alkylation of benzene with ethylene relies on fossil fuels, requiring high temperatures and toxic catalysts that contribute to ...
