Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of a capacity-strengthening package to promote the use of heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) and tranexamic acid (TXA) in preventing and treating postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in basic obstetric clinics in Uganda during crisis situations.
- - A total of 2,299 women participated over a year, showing that while the use of prophylactic uterotonics was high, the introduction of HSC contributed to changes in the overall treatment practices, with a notable increase in TXA usage.
- - The results highlight that enhancing healthcare provider capabilities can lead to improved management of PPH, suggesting critical implications for global health strategies in humanitarian settings.
Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the impact of a capacity-strengthening package on the use of medications for preventing and treating postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) in South Sudan's basic maternity facilities.
- The implementation involved a series of phases introducing therapeutic protocols, including training and resources, resulting in improved use of uterotonics and a notable increase in PPH diagnoses.
- Findings indicate a transition in medication usage patterns, with oxytocin usage decreasing as heat-stable carbetocin and tranexamic acid were introduced, highlighting the need for effective PPH management strategies in crisis-affected areas.

December 2024
Objective: To estimate the national and provincial number of excess deaths due to diabetes across Cuba in 2019.
Study Design: Cross-sectional design with secondary data.
Methods: We used DISMODII, a computerized generic disease model, to assess disease burden by modelling the relationships between incidence, prevalence, and disease-specific mortality.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on enhancing contraceptive counseling in Pakistan and Nigeria to improve decision-making, autonomy, and meet contraceptive needs through a well-designed package of interventions.
- Researchers will execute a multi-phase intervention plan, which includes understanding client-provider interactions and testing the effectiveness of various counseling methods through a randomized controlled trial with nearly 8,000 participants.
- Ethical approval has been obtained from relevant committees, and the study aims to share its findings at various levels to contribute to global contraceptive usage strategies.
Objective: To identify and summarise the evidence on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA detection and persistence in body fluids associated with sexual activity (saliva, semen, vaginal secretion, urine and faeces/rectal secretion).
Eligibility: All studies that reported detection of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva, semen, vaginal secretion, urine and faeces/rectal swabs.
