Rubella in Sub-Saharan Africa and sensorineural hearing loss: a case control study

BMC Public Health, 2017
Background Rubella infection can affect several organs and cause birth defects that are responsible for congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Congenital hearing loss is the most common symptom of this syndrome, occurring in approximately 60% of CRS cases ...

Vaccine Myths: Setting the Record Straight [PDF]

, 2018
Despite their standing as one of the most remarkable public health achievements, vaccines have been surrounded by dangerous myths since the development of the smallpox vaccine in the 18th century.

Insights from animal models: Dissecting the independent roles of oxygen and nutrients in the fetal origins of cardiovascular disease

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This review utilized animal models of complicated human pregnancies that result in reduced fetal nutrient or oxygen delivery, or combined nutrient and oxygen delivery, to elucidate their independent and/or synergistic contributions to the development of high‐risk cardiac phenotypes.

Public Health Achievements in Rwanda: A 21st Century Transformation

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
This narrative review examines Rwanda's post‐2000 public health transformation using the WHO health system building blocks. It shows how strategic governance, universal health coverage via mutuelle de santé, community health workers, and digital health tools have driven substantial gains in maternal/child health, infectious disease control, and ...

Immunoglobulin G Levels in Yemeni Preterm Newborns: Infant Factors Predominate

Reproductive, Female and Child Health, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background IgG levels in preterm infants play a crucial role in response to infection and inflammation. Infectious disease burden in the low‐income countries, such as Yemen, exacerbates the problem. The preterm infant's IgG sources are either maternal or fetal immune system.

Structure and sequence evolution in the pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) pangenome

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2723-2741, June 2026.
Summary Eukaryotic genomes harbor many forms of variation, including nucleotide diversity and structural polymorphisms, which experience natural selection and contribute to genome evolution and biodiversity. Harnessing this variation for agriculture hinges on our ability to detect, quantify, catalog, and deploy genetic diversity. Here, we explore seven

An antiviral jacalin‐like lectin gene contributes to nonhost resistance and host determination of potexviruses among Brassicaceae

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3283-3298, June 2026.
Summary Plant resistance influences the host range of pathogens; however, the mechanism driving this influence remains poorly understood. Brassicaceae species are not natural hosts of potexviruses, for reasons that have not yet been determined. This study investigated the molecular basis of nonhost resistance (NHR) to potexviruses in the Brassicaceae ...

Ligand‐induced ubiquitination regulates endocytosis and homeostasis of the ERECTA receptor kinase for stomatal development

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3167-3181, June 2026.
Summary Stomatal patterning on the plant epidermis is regulated by the ERECTA family of leucine‐rich repeat receptor kinases (LRR‐RKs). While ubiquitination has emerged as a key regulatory mechanism for the endocytosis of receptor kinases, the precise molecular connections among ERECTA ubiquitination, endocytosis, and its biological functions remain ...

The abundance of pollen coat small signaling proteins shows limited convergence between independent selfing transitions in Arabidopsis and Capsella

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 3460-3474, June 2026.
Summary In plants, a key example of convergence is the repeated evolution of floral traits associated with the transition from outcrossing to self‐fertilization, often resulting in the ‘selfing syndrome’ (e.g. reduced flower size and loss of scent). However, potentially overlooked changes concern the pollen coat, which plays a role in different aspects
