Implementation and Effectiveness of community-based resources to increase cervical cancer screening uptake among women living in sub-Saharan Africa: A protocol for systematic revie... by Danladi B Adamu, Nicole Robertson, David Weller, Christine Campbell

“…# Background Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) accounts for about 70% of the global burden of cervical cancer; this is due to several factors including lack of access to cervical cancer screening, low knowledge of cervical cancer and screening services, poor-functioning health systems, insufficient and poorly trained health workers, and the high burden of human immunodefiency virus (HIV) infection. …”

PRODUCTIVITY AND RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY AMONG BENEFICIARIES OF E - WALLET INPUT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM COMPONENT OF GROWTH ENHANCEMENT SUPPORT SCHEME (GESS) IN ADAMAWA STATE, NIGERIA by Dengle Yuniyus GIROH, Apagu Dawa MEDUGU, Dauna YAKUBU

“…Result of the socio-economic analysis revealed that respondents were small scale farmers who were young with mean family size of five people and with mean experience of 7 years. Production function analysis showed that the Cobb-Douglas functional form was selected as the lead equation and showed that the coefficient of multiple determination (R2) of 0.7781 implied that about 77.81% of the variations in total output of respondents were explained by production factors included in the model. …”

Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis genome resources and metabolite profiling at the strain level and their ability to alleviate anxiety-like behavior in a sleep-deprived mouse... by Yao-Kun Zhang, Liang Zhang, Xue Ni, Shu-Wen Zhang, Min-Zhi Jiang, Si-Lu Zhang, Guo-Xun Xiao, He Jiang, Ming-Xia Bi, Yu-Lin Wang, Chang Liu, Shuang-Jiang Liu

“…In vivo, WLBA3 reduced inflammation and oxidative stress by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and modulating gut microbiota (e.g., Lactobacillus and Alistipes), which in turn significantly improved weight gain and fatigue resistance, attenuated cognitive function, and anxiety-like behavior. These findings provide insights into the diversity of B. animalis subsp. lactis strain resources and highlight the potential of WLBA3 as a candidate for alleviating sub-health symptoms.…”
