A cross-sectional survey was conducted in six commercial poultry farms to assess their immune status against Newcastle disease in Ethiopia. In addition, follow up study was carried out in 210-day old chickens belonging to Rose, Lohmann brown and Sasso breeds to compare their response to HB1 and La Sota vaccines. Blood samples were collected from 75-day-old chickens (25 chickens from each breed) to assess the level of maternally derived antibody titer before vaccine was given. Blood samples were collected fortnightly after the first and booster vaccinations. Haemagglutination inhibition assay was used to assess the level of antibody in serum samples collected. Only two of the six farms investigated maintained good flock immunity (≥85% level of protection) with low percentage geometric coefficient of variation (4.9%-14.4%). The maternally derived antibody titre was significantly higher in Sasso breeds (134.4±1.14) followed by Ross (92.2±1.14) and Lohmann brown (68.6±1.35). The level of anti-Newcastle disease virus antibody after the first vaccination was 24.6±1.2 in Lohmann brown, 29.3±2 in Sasso and 34.5±1.1 in Ross breeds. The antibody titer was 30.9±1.3 in Lohmann brown, 29.4±1.2 in Sasso and 33.1±1.2 in Ross breeds after booster vaccination. In conclusion the maternally derived antibody level was sufficient to protect chickens from infection during early age but the flock immunity and post vaccination antibody level was low suggesting the investigation of alternative vaccination schedules for better prevention and control of Newcastle disease than the current one (day 0, day 7 and day 21).","PeriodicalId":93522,"journal":{"name":"Archives of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43656469","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}

Objective: This study examines determinants of breastfeeding behaviors in rural Indonesia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 2086 women 14-55 years of age, living in seven regions of Indonesia. Results: Participating mothers had an average age of 28 years old and had 1.9 children on average. Girls (64% vs. 58.2%) were more likely to be breastfed in the first hour of birth than boys (OR=1.268; 95% CI 1.062-1.515). Boys breastfed for an average of 6.4 months, compared to 9.2 months for girls. Nearly half (48.9%, 500/1023) of boys received foods other than breastmilk within the first three days of life, compared to 40.0% (425/1063) of girls. The belief that boys need better nutrition than girls (OR=0.706; 95% CI 0.572-0.872) was associated with lack of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 3 days of life. Conclusions: Our findings indicate differential exclusive breastfeeding behaviors for male and female children. Health communication strategies promoting optimal breastfeeding behaviors, attitudes and beliefs related to gender and breastfeeding are needed. Addressing cultural practices that contribute to non-exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life is essential for stainable behavior change.","PeriodicalId":93522,"journal":{"name":"Archives of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42724438","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: This is a retrospective analysis of 2250 individuals continuously employed from 2014 through 2016. Results: In 2014, ages ranged from 22 to 85 (M = 48.7, SD = 11.2), with 71.5% women. Program participation was 20.8% in 2014, 12% in 2015, and 27.5% in 2016, 37.2% overall. Participation was inversely related to age and greater in women (41.4% vs. 25.7%). Employees in the best and worst health at baseline went on to earn the fewest number of wellness participation points. The percent of employees filing one or more pharmacy claim was 79.9% in 2014, 82.4% in 2015, and 83.1% in 2016. Those filing a pharmacy claim were significantly older and more likely women. Number of claims and total cost of claims increased with increasing baseline medical costs. Change in the number of claims and the total cost of claims is positive, increasingly so with poorer baseline medical costs. Age, sex, and wellness program points earned are not significant in the models. Conclusion: Wellness program participation decreases with age, is higher in women, and is greatest among those with moderate baseline medical costs.

Exposure to high levels of arsenic may cause adverse health effects because it provides a favourable environment for harmful microorganisms to grow. Buruli ulcer (Bu), a skin disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans MU infection is common in the Bomfa sub-district Ashanti region, Ghana. This study investigated the possible link between Buruli ulcer incidence and drinking water arsenic in the Bomfa subdistrict of Ghana. Drinking water sources in the study area were sampled and analyzed for arsenic. Surface map of arsenic concentration overlaid with locality map of BU incidents show localities with high incidents falling into regions of relatively high arsenic concentration. The exposure response relationship model showed a positive relationship between BU and drinking water arsenic. (i.e. R2=0.54, p=0.1). Statistical analysis of the data reveal that a high proportion of settlements with high BU prevalence utilize arsenic contaminated water sources. It was therefore concluded that arsenic likely contributes to MU infections in the study area.","PeriodicalId":93522,"journal":{"name":"Archives of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44176989","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}

Tests were conducted two and six weeks after a stroke. Depression was diagnosed by Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV diagnostic criteria), the severity of depression quantified by Hamilton’s Depression Scale (HDRS), the functional status was assessed by the Barthel Index (BI), quality of life was assessed by the Short Form 36 questionnaires (SF-36), cognitive status is evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination (MINI), and neurological status of the record Stroke scales of the National Institute of Health, USA (NIH). Although the potential for functional recovery in depressive patients is not less, more severe neurological deficit, and so significantly more severe functional disability, was registered in the group of patients with post-stroke depression, initially, as well as after completion rehabilitation treatment. The mean scores on all quality of life domains were higher in patients without post-stroke depression. These differences were statistically highly significant except for the domain of bodily pain. Patients with post-stroke depression have significantly more severe cognitive impairment in relative to non-depressant patients.","PeriodicalId":93522,"journal":{"name":"Archives of epidemiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42334795","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}

The optimal type of exercise, dose, and timing of physical activity needed to improve the inflammatory profile following a breast cancer diagnosis is unknown. Studies have used a range of physical activity types including aerobic, resistance training, yoga, and Tai Chi.
