Even though there is low coverage of maternal health services such as antenatal care and skilled birth attendant delivery as well as poor sanitary practice during delivery in Ethiopia, the proportion of births protected by the tetanus vaccine is low. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the determinants of births protected against neonatal tetanus in Ethiopia.

To assess the determinants of births protected against neonatal tetanus in Ethiopia.

The study was based on secondary data analysis of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data. A weighted sample of 7590 women who gave birth within five years preceding the survey was used for analysis. We conducted a multilevel analysis, due to the hierarchical nature of the data. Variables with p-value <0.05 in the multivariable analysis were declared to be significantly associated with having births protected against neonatal tetanus.

In this study, mothers with primary education [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.23; 95%CI 1.04, 1.44] and secondarnus could increase the immunization against tetanus among reproductive-age women. In addition, it is also better to give attention to those reproductive age group women from remote areas and also better to distribute maternal services fairly and equally between regions.
In this study, both individual level and community level factors were associated with having protected birth against neonatal tetanus. Therefore, strengthening maternal health services such as ANC visits and interventions related to increasing media campaigns regarding tetanus could increase the immunization against tetanus among reproductive-age women. In addition, it is also better to give attention to those reproductive age group women from remote areas and also better to distribute maternal services fairly and equally between regions.[This corrects the article DOI 10.1371/journal.pone.0231197.].β-hexosaminidase is an enzyme responsible for the degradation of gangliosides, glycans, and other glycoconjugates containing β-linked hexosamines that enter the lysosome. GM2 gangliosidoses, such as Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff, are lysosomal storage disorders characterized by β-hexosaminidase deficiency and subsequent lysosomal accumulation of its substrate metabolites. These two diseases result in neurodegeneration and early mortality in children. A significant difference between these two disorders is the accumulation in Sandhoff disease of soluble oligosaccharide metabolites that derive from N- and O-linked glycans. In this paper we describe our results from a longitudinal biochemical study of a feline model of Sandhoff disease and an ovine model of Tay-Sachs disease to investigate the accumulation of GM2/GA2 gangliosides, a secondary biomarker for phospholipidosis, bis-(monoacylglycero)-phosphate, and soluble glycan metabolites in both tissue and fluid samples from both animal models. While both Sandhoff cats at the biochemical level. This report may help in the development and testing of new therapies to treat these disorders.Riboswitches, generally located in the 5'-leader of bacterial mRNAs, direct expression via a small molecule-dependent structural switch that informs the transcriptional or translational machinery. While the structure and function of riboswitch effector-binding (aptamer) domains have been intensely studied, only recently have the requirements for efficient linkage between small molecule binding and the structural switch in the cellular and co-transcriptional context begun to be actively explored. U0126 To address this aspect of riboswitch function, we have performed a structure-guided mutagenic analysis of the B. subtilis pbuE adenine-responsive riboswitch, one of the simplest riboswitches that employs a strand displacement switching mechanism to regulate transcription. Using a cell-based fluorescent protein reporter assay to assess ligand-dependent regulatory activity in E. coli, these studies revealed previously unrecognized features of the riboswitch. Within the aptamer domain, local and long-range conformational dynamics influenced by sequences within helices have a significant effect upon efficient regulatory switching. Sequence features of the expression platform including the pre-aptamer leader sequence, a toehold helix and an RNA polymerase pause site all serve to promote strong ligand-dependent regulation. By optimizing these features, we were able to improve the performance of the B. subtilis pbuE riboswitch in E. coli from 5.6-fold induction of reporter gene expression by the wild type riboswitch to over 120-fold in the top performing designed variant. Together, these data point to sequence and structural features distributed throughout the riboswitch required to strike a balance between rates of ligand binding, transcription and secondary structural switching via a strand exchange mechanism and yield new insights into the design of artificial riboswitches.
Argus is an open source electronic solution to facilitate the reporting and management of public health surveillance data. Its components include an Android-phone application, used by healthcare facilities to report results via SMS; and a central server located at the Ministry of Health, displaying aggregated results on a web platform for intermediate and central levels. This study describes the results of the use of Argus in two regions of Togo.

Argus was used in 148 healthcare facilities from May 2016 to July 2018, expanding to 185 healthcare facilities from July 2018. Data from week 21 of 2016 to week 12 of 2019 was extracted from the Argus database and analysed. An assessment mission took place in August 2016 to collect users' satisfaction, to estimate the concordance of the received data with the collected data, and to estimate the time required to report data with Argus.

Overall completeness of data reporting was 76%, with 80% of reports from a given week being received before Tuesday 9PM. Concordance of data received from Argus and standard paper forms was 99.7%. Median time needed to send a report using Argus was 4 minutes. Overall completeness of data review at district, regional, and central levels were 89%, 68%, and 35% respectively. Implementation cost of Argus was 23 760 USD for 148 facilities.

The use of Argus in Togo enabled healthcare facilities to send weekly reports and alerts through SMS in a user-friendly, reliable and timely manner. Reengagement of surveillance officers at all levels, especially at the central level, enabled a dramatic increase in completeness and timeliness of data report and data review.
