Around 20% of births in Somaliland take place at health facilities staffed by trained healthcare professionals; 80% take place at home assisted by Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) with no formal training. There has been no research into women's choice of place of birth. In this study, we explore multipara women's needs and preferences when choos...

Assessing the gap between rich and poor is important to monitor inequalities in health. Identifying the contribution to that gap can help policymakers to develop interventions towards decreasing that difference. To quantify the wealth inequalities in health preventive measures (bed net use, vaccination, and contraceptive use) to determine the demog...
It is well-established that botulinum toxin (BT) injections improve quality of life in patients with postparalytic hemifacial spasm. Nevertheless, injection-related pain and contracture-related pain have not yet been studied. The primary objective of our study was to evaluate injection-related pain in patients with facial palsy sequelae, and to com...

BackgroundDengue dynamics result from the complex interactions between the virus, the host and the vector, all being under the influence of the environment. Several studies explored the link between weather and dengue dynamics and some investigated the impact of climate change on these dynamics. Most attempted to predict incidence rate at a country...

While the Deffuant-Weisbuch model, one of the paradigmatic models of opinion dynamics, represents homophily through pairwise interactions, many real world interactions are not pairwise but happen in groups. Here, the authors take a numerical approach and extend the Deffuant model to hypergraphs of different topology, and show how introducing higher...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has proved effective for the identification of many arthropods. A total of 432 termite specimens were collected in Mali, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, Senegal, Switzerland and France. Morphologically, 22 species were identified, including Ancistrotermes cavithorax, Amitermes evunci...

Solid tumor cells have an altered metabolism that can protect them from cytotoxic lymphocytes. The anti-diabetic drug metformin modifies tumor cell metabolism and several clinical trials are testing its effectiveness for the treatment of solid cancers. The use of metformin in hematologic cancers has received much less attention, although allogeneic...
