Abstract:

Introduction/background: Epidemics of infectious diseases (ID) are re-occurring now more often and spreads faster into many different parts of the world due to globalization. The increasing evidence of climate change and man-made events have shown impacts to increase the emergency and re-emerging of animal- borne IDs. Studies claims that background factors of these IDs are biological, environmental and human-lifestyle related changes. The pathogen Lassa fever virus (LASV) is a zoonotic organismthat circulates in rodent reservoirs, and the animal´s hosts are rodent species (rats) of the genus M

Abstract:

Background: High levels of HIV and maternal mortality go hand in hand in many regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, understanding the interaction between pregnancy and HIV is important, not only for the clinical management of pregnant women, but also for the measurement of maternal mortality, the standard definition of which excludes infectious causes of death not aggravated by pregnancy. Methods: In this thesis the excess mortality attributable to HIV in pregnant and postpartum women is calculated by comparing the risk of mortality in HIV-infected pregnant and postpartum women to their un

Abstract:

Pregnancy outcomes have improved tremendously in developed countries. Notwithstanding, it is still a huge challenge in developing countries, especially Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2015 in Nigeria, about 145 women died daily from pregnancy-related causes. Similarly, nearly 2,300 children under 5 years were lost in the same year. Nigeria consistently underperformed in some of the critical pregnancy indicators such as maternal and neonatal mortality, second worst only to India in the world. Studies on poor pregnancy outcomes are scarce in Nigeria. The purpose of this quantitative, retrospective cross-

Abstract:

Malaria is a mosquito transmitted tropical disease that accounts for more cases and deaths in Nigeria than in any other country worldwide. Globally malaria accounts for 300,000 deaths among young children and pregnant women annually. The promotion of the use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) to reduce pregnant women's contact with mosquitoes has been the focus of malaria prevention efforts in Nigeria. However, the use of ITNs during pregnancy has been inexplicably low in Nigeria. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted to examine barriers to the utilization of ITNs among pregnant w

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Malaria adversely affects pregnant women and their fetuses or neonates. Estimates of the malaria burden in pregnant women based on health facilities often do not present a true picture of the problem due to the low proportion of women delivering at these facilities in malaria-endemic regions. METHODS: Data for this study were obtained from the Healthy Beginning Initiative using community-based sampling. Self-identified pregnant women between the ages of 17-45 years were recruited from churches in Enugu State, Nigeria. Malaria parasitaemia was classified as high and low based on the

Abstract:

<p> Globally, the implementation of environmental change strategies, such as smoke-free policies, has been found to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) among women and children (Faber, Been, Reiss, Mackenbach, & Sheikh, 2016). However, implementation of such strategies in Nigeria must first be supported by data indicative of need and feasibility within the local community. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the self-efficacy construct was used as a theoretical framework to explore the self-efficacy and support for environmental change strategies among pregnant and non-pregnan

Background: The effect of Malaria attack on maternal and child health in Nigeria is high compared with other countries in sub Saharan Africa. This problem has been a persistent issue in Nigeria and many researchers have tried to proffer solutions. Insecticide treated nets (ITN) have been identified as providing approximately 80% protection against malaria attack. However, all the measures put in place to control malaria failed to meet up with the set target of the Roll Back Malaria Initiative, which aimed at reducing malaria deaths in Nigeria by half by 2010 in line with the Millennium Develop

Pre-eclampsia is a multi-organ system disorder that occurs after the 20th week of gestation in pregnancy and is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria with or with out oedema. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for the woman and her child. Based on surveillance data, pre-eclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality in Namibia. However, there is no depth study done in Namibia that looks at the extent of confirmed pre-eclampia and its contribution to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality.

Abstract:

In 2011, African Americans in Tarrant County, Texas experienced an infant mortality rate of 14.3 per 1,000 live births. The leading cause of infant mortality in Tarrant County is prematurity and maternal nutritional status. Both maternal under-nutrition and over-nutrition are known risk factors for premature birth. Improving maternal nutrition, by reducing rates of gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, and by increasing consumption of essential prenatal vitamins and nutrients, is a road to decreasing preterm birth in African Americans.

Obstructed labour contributes significantly to the morbidity and mortality among both mothers and babies in Ethiopia nationwide, and also in the West-Wollega region where this study was conducted. The researcher used a retrospective hospital based review of maternity files to quantify the problem of obstructed labour in the selected hospital. The findings revealed that maternal and perinatal mortality due to obstructed labour amounted to 1.4% and 7.5% respectively. Most of these complications could be prevented by proper antenatal care and careful attentive monitoring during delivery with prop
