During the pandemic, the old waiting room phrase the doctor will see you now has taken on a new meaning. So has the waiting room. Our kitchen table or living room couch is where many people do work lately, and that includes visits to the doctor. New research from Syracuse University s Falk College indicates this method of health care will continue even after COVID numbers are (hopefully) reduced. I was surprised by the results, said the study s lead author Bhavneet Walia, assistant professor of public health at Syracuse University. I initially thought that, because of the challenges of telehealth, physicians would not be in favor of continuing post-pandemic. It turns out they do. But make no mistake, there are challenges. Among them is the technology itself. Internet co
Deworming During Pregnancy can Lower Neonatal Mortality by Hannah Joy on May 4, 2021 at 7:05 PM
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) is a huge burden, especially during pregnancy. However, a new study suggests expectant mothers to go for deworming to reduce neonatal mortality and low birthweight.
More than 25% of the world s population (greater than 1.5 billion people) face the burden of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections, a species of intestinal parasite whose eggs develop in the soil before finding a new host. The main cause of this high infection rate is lack of access to adequate sanitation facilities (toilets) and the consequent contamination of the environment with human feces. While universal access to adequate sanitation is one of the sustainable development goals, parasite burdens are still causing harm. Fortunately, deworming medicines are highly effective and safe.
