Exploring factors influencing childhood immunization status in East Africa using multilevel ordinal logistic regression analysis by Aster Addisu Dires, Demeke Lakew Workie, Abay Kassa Teklie

“…Additionally, mothers who had antenatal and postnatal services were 1.07 and 1.08 times more likely, respectively, to fully or partially immunize their children compared to those who did not.ConclusionThe fitted generalized odds model indicated that several factors significantly associated with childhood immunization status included maternal age, number of antenatal and postnatal care visits, tetanus injections received by mothers, vitamin A intake, presence of health documentation, place of delivery, birth order, mother’s occupation, sex of the household head, distance to health facilities, maternal education, community maternal education, community wealth index, and community media exposure. Therefore, it is recommended that interventions focus on enhancing household wealth, educating mothers, and improving health systems.…”

The spatial association network and driving factors of land use carbon emission efficiency in China: An investigation in the National Major Strategic Regions by LIU Min, CHEN Yinrong, WANG Jue, CHEN Kun, CHEN Yi

“…The structure of the individual networks was characterized by a significantly larger number of net spillover cities than net detractor and cooperator cities, reflecting a “core-periphery” structural characteristic. (3) There was heterogeneity in the influence of different driving factors on the spatial linkage strength of land use carbon emission efficiency in the National Major Strategic Regions. Among them, economic development, resource endowment, government regulation, and policy guidance emerges as a dominant role, and the interactive combination of driving factors showed a dual-factor enhancement effect. …”

Exploring Core Genes Associated with Sepsis and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Using Single-Cell Sequencing Technology by Shen Y, Leng L, Hu Y

“…The frequency of occurrence is on the rise, but there is a lack of certain indicators for the timely detection and recognition of illnesses.Methods: By virtue of scRNA-seq, this research has analyzed single-cell transcriptome data from samples taken from groups with septic death and systemic inflammatory response syndrome so as to identify the unique markers and patterns in immune response.Results: By revealing the status of twelve cell clusters of four major cell types in blood samples through UMAP cell clustering and the differences of major cell populations between the dead and SIRS patients, the results have elucidated the components of different cells and their marker genes in two disease states, and the response mechanism beneficial to disease diagnosis in blood samples.Conclusion: By establishing a theoretical framework centered on cellular and molecular regulation, the study has introduced a novel approach for diagnosing and treating sepsis death group and SIRS patients early, as well as differentiating and preventing these conditions.Keywords: sepsis, SIRS, single cell sequencing, biomarkers, single cell transcriptome…”
