Uganda’s Ministry of Health has embarked on a comprehensive program aimed at reducing the burden of the sickle cell disease in the country. While presenting a statement before parliament on the burden of the disease in the country, Minister Dr.Jane Ruth Aceng said the program will involve testing of new born babies and all children below 2 years in the 14 districts with the highest sickle cell disease and trait of Kampala,Gulu, Lira, Jinja, Tororo, Luweero, Wakiso, Apac, Iganga, Mayuge, Buikwe, Oyam, Masaka and Masindi. “Sickle cell contributes 15% percent of the under mortality. Under mortality stands at 64/1000 live births, which the infant mortality rate stands at 43/1000 live births,” said Aceng. According to the Uganda Demographic and Health survey (UDHS), 2016, the sickle cell disease prevalence stands at 0.73 while the trait prevalence stands at 13.3% and it is estimated that 25,000 babies are born annually with the disease with 80 percent dying before their 5 th birthday.

Cholera toxin Protein Cholera toxin  (also known as  choleragen  and sometimes abbreviated to  CTX ,  Ctx  or  CT ) is protein complex  secreted by the  bacterium Vibrio cholerae . CTX is responsible for the massive, watery diarrhea characteristic of  cholera  infection. Cholera toxin mechanism History Cholera toxin was discovered in 1959 by Indian microbiologist  Sambhu Nath De Structure Cholera toxin B pentamer, Vibrio cholerae. The cholera  toxin  is an  oligomeric  complex made up of six protein subunits: a single copy of the A subunit (part A, enzymatic), and five copies of the B subunit (part B, receptor binding), denoted as AB 5 . Subunit B binds while subunit A activates the G protein which activates  adenylate cyclase . The three-dimensional structure of the toxin was determined using  X-ray crystallography  by Zhang  et al.  in 1995. The five B subunits—each weighing 11  kDa , form a five-membered ring. The A subunit which is 28 kDa, has two important segments. The A

Dental care - adult Tooth decay and gum disease are caused by plaque, a sticky combination of bacteria and food. Plaque begins to build up on teeth within a few minutes after eating. If teeth are not cleaned well each day, plaque will lead to tooth decay or gum disease. If you do not remove plaque, it turns into a hard deposit called tartar that becomes trapped at the base of the tooth. Plaque and tartar irritate and inflame the gums. Bacteria and the toxins they produce cause the gums to become: InfectedSwollenTender By taking good care of your teeth and gums, you can help prevent problems such as tooth decay and  gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) . You should also teach your children how to brush and floss from an early age to help them protect their teeth. Plaque and tartar lead to a number of problems: Cavities  are holes that damage the structure of teeth. Gingivitis  is swollen, inflamed, and bleeding gums, Periodontitis  is the destruction of the ligaments and bone

Why Is Prenatal Care Important? Prenatal care is health care that a woman gets while pregnant. Going early and regularly for prenatal care can help moms-to-be — and their babies — stay healthy. Regular care lets doctors find and deal with any problems as soon as possible. It's important to start prenatal care as early as possible — ideally, before a woman even becomes pregnant. How Can I Find Prenatal Care? Pregnant women usually are cared for by: obstetricians: doctors who specialize in pregnancy and childbirthobstetricians/gynecologists (OB/GYNs): doctors who specialize in pregnancy and childbirth, as well as women's health carefamily practitioners: doctors who provide a range of services for patients of all ages (sometimes, this includes obstetrical care) instead of specializing in one area certified nurse-midwife : an advanced practice nurse specializing in women's health care needs, including prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care for pregnancies w
