The potential effectiveness of community health and nutrition volunteers on mothers' infant and young children feeding knowledge and practice in remote areas, Hajjah, Yemen.

Background: The Infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices directly affect the health, development and nutritional status of children under two years of age. However, IYCF counseling is one of the Community Health and Nutrition Volunteers (CHNVs) activities provided, which may contribute to improving the IYCF knowledge and practice among mothers. Since establishment of the CHNVs program in Yemen, its outcome has never been evaluated.

Evaluation of White Blood Cell Count, Lymphocyte Percentage, Neutrophil Percentage, and Elevated Temperature as Predictors of Wound Infection in Burn Patients.

Introduction: Infection remains a chief cause of morbidity and mortality among burn patients. The burn wound surface is initially sterile after a thermal injury but eventually gets colonized by microorganisms. A burn wound is considered infected upon the presence of high concentrations of microorganisms in the wound and scab.

The role of community health and nutrition volunteers in improving the health and nutrition status of infant and young children in remote areas, Hajjah, Yemen.

Background: In Yemen, morbidity and malnutrition are major public health problems. The Community Health and Nutrition Volunteers (CHNVs) program was launched to tackle these problems through providing services to mothers and their children residing in remote villages. Since establishment of the CHNVs program in Yemen, its outcome has never been evaluated.

Streptococcus pneumoniae among the children of Aden, Yemen: a cross-sectional report of post-pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae cause a significant global health challenge. We aimed to determine nasopharyngeal carriage, serotypes distribution, and antimicrobial profile of pneumococci among the children of Aden.

Methodology: A total of 385 children, aged 2-17 years, were included.

New strategies for Helicobacter pylori isolation and sequencing analysis for virulence genes contributing to its pathogenicity.

Background: Helicobacter pylori is a fastidious pathogen that is required a complicated medium for growth. Invading epithelial cells of the stomach. H.

Prevalence of burnout syndrome and its related risk factors among physicians working in primary health care centers of the Ministry of Health, Al Ahsa region, Saudi Arabia, 2018-2019.

Unlabelled: Burnout syndrome (BS) is a relatively common occupational problem. It is a psychological and behavioral syndrome described by three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE); depersonalization (DP); and low personal accomplishment (PA).

Objectives: This study aims to calculate the prevalence of BS and its related risk factors among physicians of primary health care centers (PHCCs) of the Ministry of Health (MOH, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia.

High rate of uterine rupture in a conflict setting of Hajjah, Yemen.

A descriptive study was conducted to investigate the epidemiology and the outcome of uterine rupture at Hajjah Hospital, Yemen, during September 2014-August 2016. There were 110 cases of ruptured uterus and 3457 deliveries (31.8 per 1000 delivery).

Highly efficient biosensors by using well-ordered ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanotube arrays.

We have studied the fabrication of highly efficient glucose sensors using well-ordered heterogeneous ZnO/ZnS core/shell nanotube arrays (CSNAs). The modified electrodes exhibit a superior electrochemical response towards ferrocyanide/ferricyanide and in glucose sensing. Further, the fabricated glucose biosensor exhibited good performance over an acceptable linear range from 2.

Constructing Well-Ordered CdTe/TiO Core/Shell Nanowire Arrays for Solar Energy Conversion.

Well-ordered CdTe/TiO heteronanostructure arrays are fabricated via a convenient anodic aluminum oxide template-directed approach and applied to photoelectrochemistry and solar energy devices. Both the CdTe and TiO present a decent crystalline quality. In comparison to the photoanode with only TiO nanotube array, the CdTe/TiO heteronanostructure electrodes possess a dramatic performance improvement.

Highly-Ordered 3D Vertical Resistive Switching Memory Arrays with Ultralow Power Consumption and Ultrahigh Density.

Resistive switching random access memories (RRAM) have attracted great scientific and industrial attention for next generation data storage because of their advantages of nonvolatile properties, high density, low power consumption, fast writing/erasing speed, good endurance, and simple and small operation system. Here, by using a template-assisted technique, we demonstrate a three-dimensional highly ordered vertical RRAM device array with density as high as that of the nanopores of the template (10(8)-10(9) cm(-2)), which can also be fabricated in large area. The high crystallinity of the materials, the large contact area and the intimate semiconductor/electrode interface (3 nm interfacial layer) make the ultralow voltage operation (millivolt magnitude) and ultralow power consumption (picowatt) possible.

Facile Transferring of Wafer-Scale Ultrathin Alumina Membranes onto Substrates for Nanostructure Patterning.

Ordered nanostructure arrays have attracted intensive attention because of their various applications. However, it is still a great challenge to achieve ordered nanostructure patterning over a large area (such as wafer-scale) by a technique that allows high throughput, large pattern area and low equipment costs. Here, through a unique design of the fabrication and transferring processes, we achieve a facile transferring of wafer-scale ultrathin alumina membranes (UTAMs) onto substrates without any twisting, folding, cracking and contamination.

Single Blinded Left-to-Right Comparison Study of Excimer Laser Versus Pulsed Dye Laser for the Treatment of Nail Psoriasis.

Introduction: Nail psoriasis is relatively difficult to treat. Excimer laser has been approved for the treatment of psoriasis since 2000. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) in psoriasis therapy has shown good response rates, with extended remissions.

Assessment of Gingival Health Status among 5- and 12-Year-Old Children in Yemen: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Purpose. There are limited data about the gingival health status in Yemeni children. The aim, therefore, was to assess oral hygiene status and prevalence and severity of gingivitis among Yemeni preschool and school children.
