Abstract

Public Health and malaria in Benin’s lake areas: why does intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) stagger?

Highlights

  • Even with improvement in current chemotherapy regimens, acute leukemia remains an alarming problem and the second leading cause of death in children

  • At Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Centers (TXCH), a multiparametric flow cytometry approach using six color panel and 33 basic antibodies is used for the diagnosis and follow-up of pediatric leukemias

  • The cases used for this study consisted of 11 patients previously diagnosed with pediatric B cell-acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL), nine with T cell-ALL, and ten with acute myeloid leukemias (AML) using the 33 antibody panel

Summary

Background

Pneumonias remain one of most significant causes of mortality and morbidity in young children worldwide. The prospects for preventing pneumonias have markedly improved, partly owing to a renewed focus from the global health community to encourage cleaner burning stoves and fuels. Several lines of evidence, considered in concert, suggests that the efficacy of these interventions may well be determined by household-level use and community-level coverage. Relatively few efforts have sought to characterize such an association. This project develops a mathematical model to analyze the theorized relationship between coverage and efficacy for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) as a cooking fuel and the prevention of pneumonias in young children
