ENHANCED INTEGRATION OF TB SERVICES IN REPRODUCTIVE MATERNAL NEWBORN AND CHILD HEALTH (RMNCH) SETTINGS IN ESWATINI.

Enhanced Integration of TB Services in Reproductive Maternal Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH) Settings in Eswatini.

Tuberculosis (TB) primarily affects women during their reproductive years and contributes to maternal mortality and poor pregnancy outcomes.For pregnant women living with HIV (WLHIV), TB is the leading cause of non-obstetric maternal mortality, and pregnant WLHIV with TB are at increased risk of transmitting both TB and HIV to their infants.TB diag

SUMOylation of Jun fine-tunes the Drosophila gut immune response.

Post-translational modification by the small ubiquitin-like modifier, SUMO can modulate the activity of its conjugated proteins in a plethora of cellular contexts.The effect of SUMO conjugation of proteins during an immune response is poorly understood in Drosophila.We have previously identified that the transcription factor Jra, the Drosophila Jun

Effect of voluntary human mobility restrictions on vector-borne diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan: A descriptive epidemiological study using a national database (2016 to 2021).

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic not only encouraged people to practice good hygiene but also caused behavioral inhibitions and resulted reduction in both endemic and imported infectious diseases.However, the changing patterns of vector-borne diseases under human mobility restrictions remain unclear.Hence, we aimed to investigate th
