Biomass fuel use and birth weight among term births in Nigeria
Despite the high burden of household air pollution from biomass fuel in sub-Saharan Africa, the association of prenatal biomass fuel exposure and birth weight as a continuous variable among term births has not been extensively studied. In this study, our primary aim is to estimate the association between biomass cooking fuel and birth weight among term births in Kaduna, northwestern Nigeria. For replication, we also evaluated this association in …
Africa’s contribution to the science of the Covid-19/Sars-CoV-2 pandemic
Scn2a encodes voltage-gated sodium channel Na V 1.2, which mediates neuronal firing. The current paradigm suggests that Na V 1.2 gain-of-function variants enhance neuronal excitability resulting in epilepsy, whereas Na V 1.2 deficiency impairs neuronal excitability contributing to autism. In this paradigm, however, why about a third of patients with Na V 1.2 deficiency still develop seizures remains a mystery. Here we challenge the conventional w…
Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes
Ebola, viewed through a lens of African epidemiology
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe, highly infectious and often rapidly fatal zoonotic disease that was first described almost 40 years ago, which, to date, has no specific treatment, and vaccine trials have not been conclusive.1 The unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa began suddenly in early 2014 with dire consequences to the already weak healthcare system of the affected countries.2 ,3 This outbreak has been the most devastating, rec…
