Published: February 2022

Background To evaluate the association between home-based neonatal care interventions and the incidence of maternal health conditions as well as to estimate the longitudinal trend of the incidence of maternal health conditions over 13 years in 39 villages of the field program area of the of home-based neonatal care from rural Gadchiroli, India. Methods This was a before-after comparative analysis of a program implemented in thirty-nine villages in Gadchiroli, India. The home-based newborn care interventions were incrementally introduced during the field trial (1995 – 1998) and continued as a service program until 2008. Over thirteen years (1995–2008), pregnant women were recruited and followed up from the seventh month of pregnancy to 28 days postpartum by trained female community health workers who made antenatal, natal and post-natal home visits, provided health education to mothers for behavior change, managed normal and sick neonates as well as encouraged seeking medical care when necessary. They recorded maternal symptoms and signs, which a physician supervisor verified. Based on these symptoms and signs, a computer algorithm diagnosed 20 different maternal health conditions. The incidence of these conditions in the first year (1995-96) was compared with the intervention’s last two years (2006 - 2008). Result The mean coverage of home-based newborn care, assessed on eight indicators, increased from 48.5% in 1995 – 96 to 87.1% in 2006 – 08. The proportion of women with any maternal health conditions during pregnancy reduced by 44.76% (P<0.001), during labor by 44.59% (P <0.001) and during the postpartum period by 77.82% (P<0.001). The mean number of maternal conditions per 100 women reduced by 69% (P<0.001). The need for emergency obstetric care was reduced by 78.83% (P<0.001). The proportion of women free of any maternal health condition increased from 32.9 % to 64.6 %. Conclusions Home-based neonatal care interventions were associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of maternal health conditions. Developing a dedicated package of home-based maternal care in combination with neonatal care may further improve maternal health.

Background Population based studies to understand the current healthcare seeking behavior of the population for pain in back and extremities are lacking from rural India. We studied: (i) healthcare seeking behavior for pain in back and extremities, (ii) types of care providers sought by the community, and the (iii) factors associated with treatment seeking. Methods Two villages were randomly selected from a cluster of 39 villages in the Gadchiroli district of India. Using predetermined criteria, all resident adults ≥ 20 years, were surveyed in January 2010 by the trained community health workers (CHW) by making household visits. Using a structured, pretested questionnaire, they inquired and recorded the history of pain in back and extremities and health care seeking for the same during the previous 12 months. Results Out of 2535 eligible adults in two villages, 2259 (89%) were interviewed. A significant proportion of the participants with back pain and pain in the extremities sought treatment (86.99%). The maximum number of individuals sought care from private providers (64.64%) followed by home remedies (61.64%), government facilities (17.03%), community health workers (CHW) of Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health (SEARCH) (12.87%), Bengali doctors (5.7%) and traditional healers (6.56%). Almost equal number of participants with any back pain (88.88%) and any extremity pain (88.95%) sought treatment. The care seeking was significantly more for female participants (odds ratio, OR=1.83, 95% confidence interval, CI=1.32–2.5), in case of severe pain (OR=2.0, 95% CI=1.29–3.12) and in the age group 51 to 60 years (OR=2.04, 95% CI=1.14–3.67). Conclusions A significant number of the individuals with back pain and pain in the extremities in rural Gadchiroli seek care, mainly from private practitioners and resort to application of home remedies whereas the care seeking from the public health facilities is considerably less. Hence there is need to provide care for pain in back and extremities in the public healthcare system.

Background Evidence suggests that substance use remains one of the negative consequences of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic among older adults. However, not much is known about the prevalence and associated factors of substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana. Methods Using data from a survey on coronavirus-related health literacy conducted in the Ashanti Region of Ghana among 474 older adults aged 50 years or above, we performed multivariable logistic regression analysis to assess demographic, socio-economic and health-related correlates of alcohol and tobacco use. Results We recorded a prevalence of 11.4% alcohol use and 6.8% of tobacco smoking, in addition to 16% prevalence of tobacco smoking and/or alcohol intake during the pandemic. After adjusting for the demographic and socio-economic factors, male participants had higher odds of substance use than their female counterparts. Older adults with tertiary education and those who rated their wealth status as poor had a lower odds of substance use than their counterparts. Conclusions Our findings have implications for designing programs and policies to limit substance use among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic and possible future disease outbreaks.

Published: February 2022

Background The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted essential health services globally. COVID-19 related disruptions threaten malaria control and elimination as untreated and inappropriately treated malaria cases can lead to excess mortality and impede the COVID-19 response. This study characterized malaria service provision during the pandemic in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in randomly selected health facilities in Buhera, Makoni, and Mutare districts in August 2020. Data on the provision of malaria services, the availability of infection prevention control measures and the display of COVID-19 related information, education, and communication (IEC) materials were collected using a standardized questionnaire. Descriptive analyses by facility type, managing authority, and district were used. Results A total of 100 health facilities were surveyed and most were publicly managed health centers and clinics. 5% of health facilities reported testing for COVID-19, 3% reported COVID-19 related health worker absences and 1% reported disruptions to any essential health services. About two-thirds (67%) of facilities displayed COVID-19 related IEC materials and 75% had infection prevention control measures available. Despite inequities in malaria readiness by managing authority, district, and type of facility, 70% of facilities were considered “ready” to provide malaria services. Conclusions Malaria services were fairly available with very few COVID-19 related disruptions to essential health services. Maintaining essential malaria services remains crucial in preventing excess malaria morbidity and mortality.

Published: February 2022

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted utilization of health care, especially in low-resource settings in Sub-Saharan Africa. Here, the current state of health care utilization in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe during the COVID-19 pandemic was assessed. Methods Cross-sectional surveys were administered to randomly selected households in three districts in Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe from August to September 2020. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, utilization and perceptions of health facilities, and COVID-19 risk perceptions and impact were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to heads of households. Factors associated with health care utilization in the 4 weeks prior to the survey were identified using logistic regression. Findings Among the 542 respondents enrolled in the study, most were married or co-habiting, were employed, had attended secondary school or higher, and headed households with more than 4 members. About half (53.3%) of households reported visiting a health facility in the previous 4 weeks. The most cited barriers of service at health facilities were the unavailability of medicines, cost of services and waiting time see a provider. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the likelihood of health care utilization in the previous 4 weeks was higher among households with a respondent who was 55 years or older, had attended secondary school or higher, and was unemployed; and among households with a child under 5 years or a pregnant woman and located in Makoni or Mutare rural districts. Conclusions These findings indicate the need to improve quality of care by increasing the availability of essential medicines, removing financial barriers to health services, and reducing waiting times. Key factors such as age and education level of the head of household and the presence of vulnerable populations such as children and pregnant women in households should be considered when targeting health awareness and education to improve health service utilization during the pandemic.

Shaft Design for Electric Go-kart
Authors: Mateja Krzysztof , Zenowicz Kamil 
Published: February 2022

This article presents the results of work related to the design, analysis, and manufacturing of the shaft for an electric go-kart. Works considered the stiffness of the shaft for various conditions affecting the vehicle while driving. In the previous stage of the project, the electric motor and gear transmission were selected. The main goal of this case study was to design the shaft for 10 kW electric go-kart. The rear driving axle of the go-kart is not equipped with a differential. The equal rotational speed of two rear wheels causes that occurs skidding and greater forces acting on the vehicle and driver when cornering. We were considering two types of the shaft – full and drilled. The first one provides greater stiffness, the second one is “softer”. The analysis allowed for the selection of a more appropriate shaft, and then for its manufacture and assembly in the vehicle.

Published: February 2022

Background: The analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) collected in breath samples has the potential to be a rapid, non-invasive test to aid in the clinical diagnosis and tracking of chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Objective: To assess the feasibility and utility of breath sample analysis done, both at point of collection in clinic and when sent away to be analyzed remotely, to diagnose, stratify and monitor disease course in a moderately large cohort of patients with PD. Methods: Breath samples were collected from 177 people with PD and 37 healthy matched control individuals followed over time. Standard clinical data (MDS-UPDRS & cognitive assessments) from the PD patients were collected at the same time as the breath sample was taken, these measures were then correlated with the breath test analysis of exhaled VOCs. Results: The breath test was able to distinguish patients with PD from healthy control participants and correlated with disease stage. The off-line system (remote analysis) gave good results with overall classification accuracies across a range of clinical measures of between 73.6% to 95.6%. The on-line (in clinic) system showed comparable results but with lower levels of correlation, varying between 33.5% to 82.4%. Chemical analysis identified 29 potential molecules that were different and which may relate to pathogenic pathways in PD. Conclusion: Breath analysis shows potential for PD diagnostics and monitoring. Both off-line and on-line sensor systems were easy to do and provided comparable results which will enable this technique to be easily adopted in clinic if larger studies confirm our findings.
