Abstract:

Studies done between 1997 and 2003 are reviewed to give an overall picture of antimalarial drug resistance in the Eastern Mediterranean Region of the World Health Organization [WHO]. The situation in 8 countries where resistance has been reported is detailed. It has been difficult to abandon chloroquine as first-line treatment even though resistance to it is widespread. Resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine has also been detected. The spread of resistance could be slowed down by the adoption of effective national policies and control programmes.

Abstract:

A significant difference in the number of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) cases and mortality has been noted among different World Health Organization (WHO) regions and countries. We compared the vaccination schedules for 2 countries from WHO Europe Region (Italy and Spain) and 2 countries from WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean (Iran and Egypt). Both Iran and Egypt included the Sabin vaccine as part of the obligatory vaccination programs; meanwhile, Italy and Spain used the Salk vaccine. Recently, Iran and Egypt added a single dose of the Salk vaccine to the 6-7 doses of Sabi

Abstract:

Tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous health conditions on the globe. As it affects the human body, tuberculosis is an infectious illness. According to the World Health Organization, roughly 1.7 million individuals get TB throughout the course of their lifetimes. Pakistan ranks fifth among high-burden nations and is responsible for 61% of the TB burden within the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. Various methods and procedures exist for the early identification of TB. However, all methods and techniques have their limits. The bulk of currently known approaches for detecting TB rely on mode

Abstract Elder abuse is an increasingly prevalent public health problem that requires a global political and evidence-based response. To make global evidence on elder abuse easier to locate and analyze, we constructed a mega-map – an interactive map that systematically identifies and overviews existing systematic reviews – on elder abuse prevalence, consequences, risk and protective factors, and interventions. Following Campbell Collaboration methodological guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive database and grey literature search of the global elder abuse literature (n=2,776) to identify sy

Individuals with certain primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) may be unable to clear poliovirus infection after exposure to oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). Over time, vaccine-related strains can revert to immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived poliovirus (iVDPVs) that can cause paralysis in the patient and potentially spread in communities with low immunity. We reviewed the efforts for detection and management of PID patients with iVDPV infections and the epidemiology through an analysis of 184 cases reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) during 1962–2024 and a review of polio

A number of economically developed countries have achieved some success in controlling bovine brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus. Results for control of brucellosis in small ruminants caused by Brucella melitensis are more modest. In some developing countr

Abstract:

Mothers and newborns have a natural physiological requirement to be together immediately after birth. A newborn has a keen sense of smell and will instinctively seek out the mother’s nipple and begin breastfeeding if placed skin-to-skin with her. This practice is known as Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). It was first suggested in 1978 and has been recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a means to ensure successful breastfeeding. It is well documented that KMC is associated with positive breastfeeding outcomes, particularly in cases where breastfeeding is exclusive and, on average, co
