Background: Intestinal parasitic infections continue to pose a major threat to human health globally, with a particularly high prevalence in developing countries. Soil-borne helminthiasis and schistosomiasis are notably widespread.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence and contributing factors of intestinal parasites infection among participants aged 7-14 years.

Improving the power production efficiency of microbial fuel cell by using biosynthesized polyanaline coated FeO as pencil graphite anode modifier.

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a modern, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective energy conversion technology that utilizes renewable organic waste as fuel, converting stored chemical energy into usable bioelectricity in the presence of a biocatalyst. Despite advancements in MFC technology, several challenges remain in optimizing power production efficiency, particularly regarding anode materials and modifications. In this study, low-cost biosynthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO NPs) were coated with a polyaniline (PANI) conducting matrix to synthesize hybrid FeO/PANI binary nanocomposites (NCs) as modified MFC anodes via an in-situ polymerization process.

Non-prescription antibiotic use and its predictors among children in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Globally antibiotics are among the most commonly used drugs. Non-prescription use of antibiotics is a major factor for the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance one of the top global public health and development threats. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess non-prescription antibiotic use and predictors among children in Low and middle-income countries.

Dietary fat intakes, food sources, and tracking across early childhood: results from the Melbourne InFANT Program.

Purpose: Despite the important role of dietary fat in early childhood, our understanding of fat intake trends during this period is limited, particularly among Australian children. This study aimed to describe total and saturated fat (SFA) intake trends, food sources, and tracking in young Australian children.

Methods: Data of children at ages 9 months (n = 393), 18 months (n = 284), 3.

Pharmacy services and psychiatric patient satisfaction among community-based health insurance users in Ethiopia.

Background: The development of community-based health insurance (CBHI) was driven by the need to provide economic protection for the poor against unexpected healthcare expenses. This can lead to increased patient satisfaction with their overall care. Maintaining high levels of client satisfaction with pharmacy services is crucial for effectively treating patients with psychiatric disorders.
