Background The annual number of hospital admissions and in-hospital deaths due to severe acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in young children worldwide is unknown. We aimed to estimate the incidence of admissions and deaths for such infections in children younger than 5 years in 2010. Methods...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the timing and size of the cognitive deficit associated with poverty in the first 5 years of life and to examine the role of parental characteristics, pre- and postnatal growth, and stimulation in the home in Bangladeshi children. We hypothesized that the effect of p...

Since 2007, a spate of rodent outbreaks has led to severe food shortages in Asia, affecting highly vulnerable and food-insecure families. Little has been documented about wildlife-management issues associated with these outbreaks. The aims of the present study were to synthesise what we know about r...

Context Post-harvest losses by rodents have traditionally been calculated by estimates of consumption determined in the laboratory. Methods for assessing storage losses by rodents under smallholder conditions will help farmers and policy makers understand the impact rodents may have on food security...

Introduction Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 5%–10% of all pregnancies, contributing to 30%–50% of stillbirths. Unfortunately, growth restriction often is not detected antenatally. The last weeks of pregnancy are critical for preventing stillbirth among babies with FGR because there is a pron...

Preterm birth is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation or fewer than 259 days since the first day of a woman's last menstrual period.1 Globally, preterm birth is estimated to affect 10.6% (95% CI 9.0–12.0) of all pregnant women, equating to ...

To the Editor: Preterm birth (PTB), defined as livebirth before 37 completed weeks of gestation, is associated with a high degree of immaturity of various organs, and thus are at greater risk of a range of short-term and long-term comorbidities.[1] The estimated PTB prevalence in Bangladesh, already...

Background: Selenium (Se), an essential trace mineral, has been implicated in preterm birth (PTB). We aimed to determine the association of maternal Se concentrations during pregnancy with PTB risk and gestational duration in a large number of samples collected from diverse populations. Methods: Ges...

BACKGROUND Patient-centered research is foundational to informing the measurement of clinical benefit in interventional studies. Understanding caregivers' lived experience of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) resulting from spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL) and characterizing their perspectives on the...

Stunting is prevalent in South Asia and is rooted in poor growth in utero through 24 mo of age. We assessed nutritional status and growth as weight‐for‐length (WLZ) and length‐for‐age (LAZ) z‐scores at birth, 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 mo in singleton infants born to mothers receiving iron‐folic acid in a ...

In Asia, rodents are known to be one of the main constraints to agricultural production where losses of just 6% of the rice crop (35 million tons) are enough to feed 230 million people for one year. Rodent cycles and outbreaks in Asia can lead to severe crop losses and result in major food shortages...

The scientific development of anti-coagulant rodenticides led to a complete \ntransformation of rodent pest control services throughout the world. Suddenly it became \neconomically practical to eradicate localised rodent populations in agricultural or urban \nenvironments. The success of...
