Assessment of Nutritional and Nonnutritional Correlates of Anemia in Pregnancy: A Hospital‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study for Public Health Interventions in the Bono East Region of Ghana

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Anemia in pregnancy (AiP) remains a public health concern in Ghana. The Bono East Region is known for a variety of maternal morbidities, yet the association between inadequate intake of iron‐rich foods and AiP remains underexplored.

Corticosterone Under Experimental Manipulation of Nutrition and Parasite Burden in a Wild Rodent System

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 7, Page 749-758, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Using Stochastic Simulation‐Estimation and Automated Model Development to Assess Power and Accuracy for Covariate Identification

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT When study designs are evaluated using clinical trial simulations for their ability to identify covariate effects in population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) modeling, it is typically assumed that the true model will be known at the data analysis stage. In this study, this was compared with the more realistic assumption that the PopPK model needs to

Host-cell dependent epigenetic profiles associated with survival outcomes in T. gondii infection

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Toxoplasmosis is a widespread parasitic disease affecting roughly one-third of the global population. In immunocompromised individuals or during pregnancy, infection can result in severe complications. Following primary infection, Toxoplasma gondii forms
