- - Overall, participants viewed diabetes coaching positively, noting its effectiveness in helping them manage their condition more effectively.
Knowledge, Perceptions, Challenges and opportunities in achieving sustainable coverage of mass drug administration towards the control and elimination of Schistosomiasis and Soil Transmitted Helminths in hard-to-reach communities of Ghana.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis
November 2024
Centre for Vector-borne Diseases Research, Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Ghana Medical School, University of Ghana, Korle-Bu, Accra, Ghana.
Article Synopsis
- In Ghana, schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are significant public health issues affecting children, despite intervention efforts by the Ghana Health Service and NGOs to control these diseases.
- The study explored the challenges faced in delivering mass drug administration (MDA) to hard-to-reach communities, gathering insights through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews.
- Key findings revealed that while there was a general willingness to participate in MDA, barriers such as a lack of community drug distributors, poor communication about MDA processes, and fears regarding medication side effects hindered the program's effectiveness.
Factors influencing delayed cancer health seeking in Meghalaya, Northeast India: A qualitative study.
Indian J Med Res
August 2024
Indian Institute of Public Health Shillong, Shillong, Meghalaya, India.
Background & objectives India accounts for about seven per cent of the global cancer burden with the highest cancer incidence reported from the North-Eastern Region (NER), including Meghalaya. Despite this, there is paucity of published studies on health seeking behaviour for cancer in the NER. To address this gap, this study used a qualitative approach to document patient, caregiver and provider perspectives to understand the factors influencing healthcare seeking for cancers in Meghalaya.

School of Health Sciences, College of Health Sciences, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda.
Background: Transgender individuals often face stigma, discrimination, and various forms of abuse, which negatively impact their mental and physical health. They face a significantly greater risk of HIV, with a higher prevalence than the general population. Despite these challenges, transgender people have limited access to healthcare due to violence, legal barriers, and societal stigma, further exacerbated in countries like Uganda, where transgender identities are criminalized.

Molecular visualization is a powerful way to represent the complex structure of molecules and their higher order assemblies, as well as the dynamics of their interactions. Although conventions for depicting static molecular structures and complexes are now well established and guide the viewer's attention to specific aspects of structure and function, little attention and design classification has been devoted to how molecular motion is depicted. As we continue to probe and discover how molecules move - including their internal flexibility, conformational changes and dynamic associations with binding partners and environments - we are faced with difficult design challenges that are relevant to molecular visualizations both for the scientific community and students of cell and molecular biology.
