  • Acceptability of alcohol-based hand rub during neonatal care in rural Ugandan households

    Open AccessHeidi H Thorsdalen, Ingunn Marie Stadskleiv Engebretsen et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2026

OBJECTIVE: Nested in the BabyGel trial, this study investigated the acceptability of the BabyGel intervention among mothers and household membe…

    Open AccessKate Lightly, Shuchita Mundle et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

  • Immediate postnatal care following childbirth in Ugandan health facilities

    Open AccessT Dey, Sam Ononge et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    INTRODUCTION: Progress in reducing maternal and neonatal mortality, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, is insufficient to achieve the Sustainable Developmental Goals by 2030. The first 24 hours following childbirth (immediate postnatal period), where the majority of morbidity and mortality occurs, is critical for mothers and babies. In Uganda,<50% of women reported receiving such care. This paper describes the coverage, changes over time and det…

  • The BabySaver

    Open AccessJames Ditai, Aisling Barry et al.ARTICLEChildren2021

    The initial bedside care of premature babies with an intact cord has been shown to reduce mortality; there is evidence that resuscitation of term babies with an intact cord may also improve outcomes. This process has been facilitated by the development of bedside resuscitation surfaces. These new devices are unaffordable, however, in most of sub-Saharan Africa, where 42% of the world's 2.4 million annual newborn deaths occur. This paper describes…

  • Jacob Böhme and His World

    Bo Andersson, Lucinda Martin et al.BOOKJacob Böhme and His World2019

    Jacob Böhme (1575–1624) is famous as a shoemaker and spiritual author. His works and thought are frequently studied as a product of his mystical illumination. Jacob Böhme and His World adopts a different perspective. It seeks to demystify Böhme by focusing on aspects of his immediate cultural and social context and the intellectual currents of his time, including Böhme’s writing as literature, the social conditions in Görlitz, Böhme’s corresponde…

    New essays revealing the enduring significance of the story made famous in the 1587 Faustbuch and providing insights into the forces that gave the sixteenth century its distinct character. The Reformation and Renaissance, though segregated into distinct disciplines today, interacted and clashed intimately in Faust, the great figure that attained European prominence in the anonymous 1587 Historia von D. Johann Fausten. The original Faust behind Go…

Like his great contemporary Michel de Montaigne, Weigel anticipated the advent of a tolerant culture of individual knowledge and conscience.
