Abstract:

Despite numerous Government efforts to tackle the problem of child under-nutrition in Malawi, the levels of child under-nutrition remain high with stunting estimated at 47% and underweight at 12.7% . This thesis investigates whether the levels and patterns of stunting and underweight in Malawi have changed between the years 2000 and 2010 and if so how. It studies how feeding patterns and child immunisation affects child’s nutritional status in Malawi and analyses the different pathways through which household and community level socio-economic factors affect a child’s nutritional status in Mal

Abstract:

Childhood malnutrition is a real-life and a chronic problem and one of the global major public health challenges, especially in developing countries like Ghana. Several attempts from governmental and non-governmental organizations to address the problem have fallen below expectation. It is recognised that the existing studies and nutrition intervention strategies are inadequate and hence not working to expectation. This thesis examines childhood malnutrition in Ghana using appropriate and advanced statistical methods to help improve the understanding of childhood nutrition and to better inform

Abstract:

Background: Appropriate child feeding prevents nutrient deficiencies, diseases, and deaths in children. However, only 13.3% of children aged 6-23 months in Ghana receive the minimum acceptable diet. Thus, undernutrition remains high in rural northern Ghana, especially among under-fives. This is showing no improvement despite economic development and implementation of globally recommended nutrition & feeding interventions. There is limited context specific evidence about child feeding in rural northern Ghana. Aim: To examine how culture might impact upon the feeding of children under five y

This thesis describes the development of a novel game-like method, the AnimalSeek method, which can be used, along with motion tracking technology, to measure localisation ability of a child under five years of age. For the game-like task to be successful, a high number of responses (in particular correct head turn responses) was required. Previous studies, although not all looking at localisation ability, have used many different techniques to obtain the maximum number of responses from a child. The children were engaged inside a custom-built environment inside an anechoic chamber. Three larg

Abstract:

Pneumonia is one of the major public health problems threats to child survival in large parts of the world. The burden of this disease in terms of morbidity and mortality remains unacceptably high with almost one million children dying every year as a result of pneumonia episode. Over 90% of these pneumonia-associated deaths in young children occur in developing countries and are mainly secondary to bacterial infections. The availability of effective vaccines against bacterial pneumonia, coupled with adequate and efficacious antibiotic treatments, should be sufficient to reduce this burden.

Abstract:

Pain is a very common problem experienced by the general population and children in particular. It goes beyond personal suffering and affects all dimensions of the quality of life and general functioning of both adults and children, be it the physiological, psychological or financial aspects. Children may suffer from pain that may either be chronic or acute, depending on the diagnosis. Assessment of pain in children is equally important as that of adults, except that they lack the verbal fluency and cognitive development to communicate their pain. Children’s experience of pain is similar to

Child malnutrition is a public health issue that concerns the entire world. Children under five and infants who are suffering from undernutrition are highly susceptible to adverse health effects such as disease, growth failure and/or micronutrient deficiencies; consequently, impeding their ability to develop and fulfil their lives to their full potential. In Ethiopia, this issue has been attributed to a set of social determinants of health which facilitates the way we address the issue.

In Zambia, under-five mortality reached a peak of 197 in 1996 and is currently estimated at 60 (Hug, Sharrow, Zhong et al. 2018).

Abstract:

The recent expansion of general practitioner (GP) out of hours cooperatives indicates that many British GPs see this as the solution to managing out of hours work, particularly the 'problem' of 'inappropriate' demand. This thesis investigates the highly contentious subject of 'inappropriateness' of demand for out of hours GP services for children under five, and develops a methodology that allows for a reconceptualisation of the issues involved based on the beliefs, assumptions and practices of all those concerned, rather than locating the 'problem' within the province of parents alone, or wit

Abstract:

According to WHO, diarrhea disease is the second leading cause of death worldwide for children under five. Around 525 000 children under five are killed every year by diarrhea. Most deaths from diarrhea occur among children less than 2 years of age living in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. With a comprehensive strategy that ensures all children in need receive critical prevention and treatment measures it is possible to save the lives of millions of children at risk of death from diarrhea. The aim of this study was to identify what kind of treatment has been given to under-five children wit

The necessity of such information for all cannot be over-emphasised as this category of the population under study is among the most neglected when

Abstract:

Viruses are common causes of both endemic and epidemic gastroenteritis, infecting millions of people per year, with norovirus, rotavirus and adenovirus-F as the main causative agents, and sapovirus and astrovirus as contributing viruses. These viruses are highly infectious and most severe in the very young, old, or individuals who are immunocompromised. The viral infection usually causes self-limited gastroenteritis, although chronic infection has been observed in highly immunocompromised patients. African and South-East Asian regions are disproportionally affected by diarrhoeal disease. These
