Prevalence and Risk Factors of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Pregnancy in Ghana
Key findings: The study investigated the prevalence and risk factors of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in pregnancy. A prevalence of 81.0% was reported, based on full blood count or hemoglobin levels, indicating a high burden of IDA in the study setting. Identified risk factors included unemployment, age, diet and malaria prophylaxis.

Abstract Anemia affects 32 million pregnant women globally, contributing annually to more than 115 000 maternal deaths and 591 000 perinatal deaths worldwide. Low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) bear the highest burden of anemia in pregnancy, with nearly 50% of affected pregnant women. It is now 2025, which is WHO's target year for a 50% reduction

Integration and mining of malaria molecular, functional and pharmacological data: how far are we from a chemogenomic knowledge space? [PDF]
The organization and mining of malaria genomic and post-genomic data is highly motivated by the necessity to predict and characterize new biological targets and new drugs. Biological targets are sought in a biological space designed from the genomic data
