In the context of health communication, this paper suggests that health communication ought to be as clear as possible and easily interpretable. This can be achieved by broadcasting public service announcements through radio, television, and billboard platforms in local dialects and official languages. Furthermore, clear and effective messaging would empower people with the necessary tools to prevent infectious diseases and take control of their well-being. Moreover, this paper also explores the mental health burden that people have during the pandemic and the role that foreign aid can play in alleviating human suffering. In Africa, very little is known or researched when it comes to mental health which becomes a great issue of concern during the COVID-19 pandemic. As people experience different forms of anxiety and depression resulting from fear, uncertainty, and loneliness, there are very limited resources for seeking help. When compared to the global rate, the number of Africans who receive care for their mental health is extremely low due to cultural norms and the limited number of mental health facilities and professionals. Nonetheless, the ability to achieve desirable health outcomes can significantly be boosted by foreign aid. Foreign aid has proven to be a tool for alleviating human suffering during pandemics. Most developing countries rely on foreign aid in the wake of a pandemic either through monetary (bilateral/multilateral) assistance or relief items. In addition to providing emergency relief measures in highly informal sectors, foreign aid can be used as a tool to channel liquidity to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), households, and informal workers. This paper takes a systems approach in highlighting the ways in which some of the aforementioned factors can be efficiently leveraged to curb the rate of disease spread, which in turn alleviates the burden of human suffering.","PeriodicalId":12868,"journal":{"name":"Health science journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89668814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethiopia is one of the sub-Saharan countries highly under five mortality due to diarrhea. Ethiopia has made remarkable progress in reducing child mortality over the last two decades. However, the under-5 mortality and morbidity rate related to diarrhea still magnificently a burden. Objective: This study aimed to assess the burden of diarrheal for under five children in terms of death and Disability-Adjusted Life Years lost (DALY) between 2000 and 2016. Patients and methods: The research used data from Global Health Estimate 2016; that originally collected the information through vital registration, verbal autopsy, surveys, reports, published scientific articles, Global Burden of Disease study (GBD 2016) and modeling. The magnitude of Diarrheal disease death was estimated 14,894 under five children in 2016. Death from diarrheal disease has also contributed to 38.4% (14894/38777) of deaths from infectious and parasitic diseases and 7.96% (14894/187,065) of the total death reported by the same year. Meanwhile, YLD, YLL and DALYs for under five children were 61,709 and 1408.4 thousand respectively in 2016. Themagnitudeof deaths due to diarrheal disease was declined by 76.7% from the2000’s record of 49,021 deaths within 16 years. In 2016, Mortality due to Diarrheal disease was highest among males. Of the 14,894 diarrheal disease related mortalities, more than 1405 deaths were among males. Conclusion: Even if the burden of diarrhea for under five mortality is sharply declining in Ethiopia; but, it still remained one of the public health problems and second leading cause of morbidity. Therefore, strengthening hand washing practice and accessing prevention program is important to eliminate death within the target period.","PeriodicalId":12868,"journal":{"name":"Health science journal","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79046927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Data driven weights are assigned to different levels of different dimensions and continuous scores (Y)corresponding to a health state are obtained as weighted sum. Y-scores are further transformed by linear transformations to P-scores ∈ [1,100] following Normal distribution. Illustration of the proposed method of scoring health states and its properties are given with a hypothetical data Results: The method helps in assessment of health profile, progress/deterioration with time, classifying and ranking of a group of patients, meaningful comparisons and application of statistical techniques in parametric set up along with computation of treatment effectiveness, reliability avoiding unidimensionality assumption. The method may work best for sample of patients suffering from same disease Conclusions: The approach makes no assumption about distributions of dimension/ level scores. The proposed simple measures will help the researchers and practitioners to make meaningful analysis and draw meaningful conclusions. The proposed scoring method is applicable for EQ-5D-5L, EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-Y.

Cytomegalovirus is a typical herpes virus. Also distinguished as HCMV or human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). Once tainted, the human body holds the virus for life. CMV settles from person to person over body liquids, like blood, saliva, urine, semen and breast milk. “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention organization” (CDC) predicted that around 50% of grown-ups in the United States have incurred the virus by forty years old. It afflicts men and women fairly, at any life and notwithstanding of ethnicity. Fever, wetness, tiredness, restlessness, sore throat, enlarged glands, muscle strain, low desire and loss of weight are the obvious indications. But recurring and fundamental CMV have more dangerous symptoms and critical conditions like as jaundice, fever, pneumonia, cold, spots under the surface body, Purple color surface stains, a blemish, or all, developed liver, kidney, large spleen, low birth weight, breakdowns etc. Notwithstanding these debilitating maladies, no prescription to prevent them improvement or treatment is open till now. That’s why we proposed to express a multi-epitope vaccine upon CMV by employing an Immuno bioinformatics road. For this desire, we practised the Human CMV spike protein to ascertain the dominant. After study of the specification of these epitopes we selected only six epitopes to create the desire vaccine against the human Cytomegalovirus. All features of a perfect vaccine was present of our designed vaccine such as non-toxin, non-allergenic and highly soluble etc. Moreover, our created vaccine showed the excellent score in all physiochemical and in lifetimein the host cell.","PeriodicalId":12868,"journal":{"name":"Health science journal","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89398675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: Six different alginate impression materials and four different disinfectants were included in the study. A total of 168 impressions were taken and divided into 24 groups. Fifty-six impressions taken with extended pour-type alginates were kept in sealed plastic bags for four days and then poured. One hundred and twelve impressions were poured immediately after the disinfection process. A 3-D laser scanner was used for dimensional measurements on the vestibule surface area, while the mesial–distal width of the right upper molar was measured with screen caliper software. Results: This study showed that the contraction of models varied significantly depending on the alginate material and disinfectant. Evaluation of the upper first molar showed that molar contraction varied between 1.2 and 3.2% in dimension. According to molar data, the best accuracy was obtained from Blueprint-Zeta, while the worst was obtained from the Hydrogum Ext Pour–NaOCl alginate– disinfectant combination. Two-way ANOVA of data from the vestibule surface area showed significant results for all pairwise comparisons of alginate and disinfectant materials and their interactions. According to the results of the two-way ANOVA, the best accuracy was obtained from Hydrogum and Blueprint alginates with Unident disinfectant. The worst accuracy was obtained from Hydrogum Ext Pour alginate with Zeta disinfectant. Conclusions: The dimensions of stone models produced from disinfectant-treated alginate impression materials demonstrate various degrees of contraction.","PeriodicalId":12868,"journal":{"name":"Health science journal","volume":"281 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74956830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
