Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Kenya kwa mwanariadha na mchchemuzi wa masuala ya wanawake, akieleza hatua zinazochukuliwa kutokomeza dhulma wa kijinsia. Pia tunakuletea muhtasari wa habari na jifunze lugha ya Kiswahili.Huku mapigano yakizidi kushika kasi katika eneo la Kordofan nchini Sudan, Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Binadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Volker Türk, ameonya hii leo kuhusu hatari ya mashambulizi mapya dhidi ya raia, baada ya kuripotiwa vifo zaidi ya watu 269 kutokana na mashambulizi ya angani, mabomu na mauaji ya kiholela tangu mwishoni mwa mwezi Oktoba. Ofisi yake imeeleza kupokea taarifa za ulipizaji kisasi, utekaji, ukatili wa kingono na ulazimishaji wa watoto kujiunga na makundi ya kivita, huku miji kama Kadugli, Dilling na El Obeid ikikabiliwa na njaa, kuzingirwa na kukwama kwa misaada ya kibinadamu.Malaria, ugonjwa ambao takriban asilimia 95 ya vifo vinavyoripotiwa duniani ni kutoka nchi za Afrika tena kwa watoto walio na umri wa chini ya miaka 5. Ulionekana kuweza kudhibitiwa lakini sasa Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya duniani WHO, Dkt. Tedros Ghebreyesus, anasema unaelekea kubaya kutokana na kuongezeka kwa usugu wa dawa, hali inayotishia kuyafuta mafanikio yaliyookoa maisha ya watu milioni moja mwaka 2024 kupitia chanjo na vyandarua vipya vyenye dawa ya kukabiliana na mbu waenezao Malaria.Na tuhitimishie nchini Msumbiji ambako Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Uhamiaji IOM Amy Pope amefanya ziara ya siku tatu na kujionea athari zilizoletwa na Mafuriko, vimbunga na kuzorota kwa usalama huko Kaskazini mwa nchi hiyo hali iliyosababisha zaidi ya 100,000 wameyakimbia makazi yao, na zaidi ya 600,000 wakihitaji msaada.Katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili leo ukumbi ni wake mlumbi wa lugha ya Kiswahili Joramu Nkumbi kutoka nchini Tanzania, anafafanua maana za maneno "MADHALI"Mwenyeji wako ni Sabrina Moshi, karibu!

In this first instalment of our two-part finale on gender justice, we explore the foundations needed to understand gender as a social system, one that shapes power, roles, resources and everyday experiences across different contexts.Together with our guests, we look at how gender is embedded within social, economic and institutional structures. The episode examines what gets lost when gender is treated as a separate category, and why complexity, context and lived experience matter for anyone working across health, development or rights.This conversation lays the groundwork for Part 2, where we look at how these insights translate into practiceIn this episode: Ishrat Jahan - Research Fellow at the Centre for Gender and Sexual and Reproductive Health at BRAC James P. Grant School of Public Health in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Ishrat's research focuses on the intersection of gender, health, and environmental issues.

In sub-Saharan Africa, mothers often carry their babies on their backs in colorful cotton wraps called lesu. Could treating these wraps with insecticide help prevent malaria? Dr. Ross Boyce discusses a groundbreaking study in Uganda showing that permethrin-treated wraps significantly reduce malaria in infants – and further, what this could mean for protecting the youngest and most vulnerable children from this often fatal disease.  

In this powerful episode of It Takes Balls, testicular cancer survivor Jon Reiner shares his rare experience battling the disease twice, 15 years apart. Jon explains how he first noticed symptoms, what his testicle felt like, and he walks through ultrasound, tumor markers, orchiectomy surgery, radiation therapy, and the shock of recurrence after more than a decade.Jon also explores life after losing both testicles — including testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), injections vs topical gel, hormone swings, mood changes, sex drive considerations, and insurance frustrations.He shares how he protected his daughters emotionally, how anxiety and scanxiety impact families, and the importance of community support. Jon talks about empathy, masculinity, vulnerability, and advice for newly diagnosed testicular cancer patients: take symptoms seriously, fight early, and let people help you.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

For centuries, malaria has been one of the deadliest diseases on the planet. Nearly half of the world remains at risk of malaria with more than half a million deaths each year, most of them in children. While some progress has been made in controlling malaria and developing a vaccine, this has stalled recently, with a growing number of deaths since 2019. At the heart of the challenge is the lack of non-invasive and rapid diagnostic technologies for malaria, which are urgently needed, especially in remote or low-resource areas with limited healthcare infrastructure. Happily, a new frontier in medical technology is offering hope, in the form of the Cytophone, a revolutionary device that can detect malaria through the skin without drawing a single drop of blood. This innovation, developed by a team led by Prof. Vladimir Zharov at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and licensed to Cytoastra for further commercialization, represents a leap forward not just in malaria diagnostics, but in how we might monitor disease altogether.

A new study in rural western Uganda finds that treating baby-carrying cloths, or lesu, with an insecticide with modest repellent effect significantly reduces malaria infections in young children. Transcript In many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, mothers carry their young children on their backs in colorful cotton wraps called lesu. Could treating these cloths with insecticide reduce malaria transmission? A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine explored this question in rural western Uganda, where malaria is transmitted year-round. Researchers enrolled 400 mothers with children aged six to 18 months. Using a blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial design, half received lesu treated with permethrin, a commonly-used insecticide. The other half received untreated cloths. All participants also received  insecticide-treated bed nets. Every two weeks for 24 weeks, the mothers and children visited local health centers to check for fever and undergo malaria testing. The results were striking: children carried in permethrin-treated lesu represented 66% fewer malaria cases – 0.73 cases per 100 people compared with 2.13 in the control group. The findings suggest that insecticide-treated lesu – much like treated bed nets – could offer an effective new tool particuarly against outdoor biting for a highly vulnerable population - children under 5 years of age - in sub-Saharan Africa.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the world's biggest killer among infectious diseases — and yet it's curable. While global efforts continue to eliminate TB, the UK's low incidence rate brings its own set of challenges: delayed diagnoses, persistent stigma, and low public awareness. This episode of Connecting Citizens to Science explores how these factors shape TB care and prevention in the UK, and what it will take to ensure no one is left behind in the global push to end TB.In this episode: Kate Bradfield - Community TB Nursing Team Leader, North Merseyside, University Hospitals of Liverpool GroupKate has been a TB specialist nurse since 2020 and now leads the North Merseyside service, driving quality improvement and community-based support for patients.

Dr. Kami Kim, Chief of Infectious Diseases at the Division of Infectious Diseases, USF Morsani College of Medicine, reviews one of the few truly emergent infectious diseases, Malaria. Dr. Kim begins by discussing the differential of fever in the returning traveller. Next focusing on Plasmodium, she discusses diagnostic techniques, including thick and thin smears and Malaria rapid diagnostic tests. Similarities and differences of the individual species of Plasmodium are next discussed, including Falciparum, Vivax, Ovale, and Malariae. Lastly, the complications of Malaria infection are covered, followed by a brief discussion regarding Dengue virus disease.

Despite great progress in eliminating malaria in the country, cases of malaria remain high in certain areas of Uganda. Understanding the epidemiology of cases and control is a vital component to a successful malaria mitigation project. Using a cloud-based electronic medical record we have created a pilot project to document and track malaria cases in a central Uganda health center. This type of technology can be utilized in other rural health centers to track malaria and other diseases.

Paolo Mazzarello"Malaria"Il Nobel negato: Storia di Battista GrassiNeri Pozza Editorewww.neripozza.itDall'autore di "Storia avventurosa della medicina", la ricostruzione di una grande scoperta e della congiura scientifica che negò a Battista Grassi il premio Nobel. Intrighi, colpi bassi, spionaggio di laboratorio: un thriller scientifico ricostruito su documenti inediti, a un secolo dai fatti.Nel 1902 il premio Nobel per la Medicina venne assegnato al medico britannico Ronald Ross «per il suo lavoro sulla malaria». Ma, sulla sola base dei suoi studi, nessuna profilassi contro la malattia sarebbe stata realizzabile. Il riconoscimento escludeva Battista Grassi, il medico lombardo che aveva identificato la zanzara del genere Anopheles responsabile del contagio, descrivendo lo sviluppo del parassita nell'insetto e la sua trasmissione all'uomo. Grazie alle proprie ricerche, lo studioso italiano fu il primo a organizzare una profilassi antimalarica scientificamente fondata. Per quale ragione Grassi venne escluso dal Nobel che avrebbe dovuto condividere con Ross? Basandosi sugli studi storici più recenti e sulla documentazione esistente, Malaria racconta l'incredibile congiura ordita contro Grassi, guidata dallo stesso Ross e dal grande microbiologo tedesco Robert Koch, della quale fecero inconsapevolmente parte alcuni colleghi italiani. Proprio nelle cruciali settimane in cui si sarebbe decisa l'assegnazione del premio, infatti, non lo appoggiarono o addirittura lo accusarono di plagio. Alla base dell'accanimento dei colleghi vi furono diverse ragioni, non ultimo il carattere irruento del medico, che gli creò nemici potenti. Come in un thriller scientifico, fra colpi bassi, spie di laboratorio e pericolosi esperimenti, questo libro descrive la vita singolare e straordinaria di Giovanni Battista Grassi a cento anni dalla scomparsa, un genio naturalista allo stato puro, premiato nel 1896 con la Darwin Medal della Royal Society di Londra, il massimo riconoscimento dell'epoca per chi si fosse distinto negli studi biologici. Ma al quale, per una congiura scientifica, venne negato il Nobel.Paolo Mazzarello è professore ordinario di Storia della Medicina all'Università di Pavia e direttore dei musei scientifici pavesi.

Dr. Geoff Dow, CEO of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals and former malaria drug developer at Walter Reed, joins the Tick Boot Camp Podcast to unpack the science and strategy behind treating babesiosis. Drawing parallels to malaria, Dow explains why tafenoquine (brand: Arakoda), FDA-approved for malaria prevention, is being studied for Babesia, how coinfections (Borrelia, Bartonella) complicate care, and why chronic illness needs a different clinical approach. He previews an upcoming Mount Sinai trial for chronic babesiosis focused on fatigue outcomes and discusses real-world diagnostics using FDA-approved blood donor screening plus PCRs from Galaxy Diagnostics and Mayo Clinic. The conversation also touches on prophylaxis concepts, immune dysregulation, and building a clearer path from anecdote to evidence for the tick-borne disease community. Guest Geoff Dow, BSc, MBA, PhD CEO & Board Member, 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Background: Biotechnology (Perth, Australia), PhD in malaria drug discovery, decade at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, MBA in the U.S. Leads clinical programs exploring tafenoquine for babesiosis. Key Topics & Takeaways Malaria ↔ Babesiosis Parallels: Both are red-blood-cell parasites; acute symptoms driven by red cell destruction. Similar drug targets justify testing some anti-malarials against Babesia. Why Tafenoquine (Arakoda): An 8-aminoquinoline that induces oxidative stress in RBCs; distinct mechanism from atovaquone + azithromycin combo (current standard for acute babesiosis), potentially useful for resistance management. Chronic vs. Acute Disease: Acute babesiosis in immunocompetent patients often responds to standard care; chronic illness remains under-defined and underserved. Coinfections Are Common: Many chronically ill patients present with Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia together; diagnostics and treatment need to acknowledge polymicrobial reality. Upcoming Clinical Trial (Mount Sinai): Population: Chronic babesiosis with disabling fatigue, plus Babesia symptoms (e.g., air hunger, anemia) and lab evidence in the last 12 months. Regimen: 4-day loading dose then 200 mg weekly of tafenoquine for 3 months. Outcomes: Patient-reported fatigue (quality-of-life) + monthly molecular testing (FDA blood donor test, Galaxy Diagnostics PCR, Mayo Clinic PCR) during treatment and 3 months post-therapy. Goals: Demonstrate symptom improvement, assess eradication signals, and validate accessible diagnostics against an FDA-accepted assay. Prophylaxis & Post-Exposure Ideas: Animal data suggest short-course tafenoquine can eradicate early Babesia; human prophylaxis trials face feasibility and regulatory hurdles. Diagnostics Gap: Need for standardized, sensitive tools to define chronic babesiosis and track response. This trial also serves as a real-world diagnostic comparison. Immune Dysregulation & IACI: Overlap among long COVID, ME/CFS, post-treatment Lyme—shared theme of immune dysregulation with possible persistent antigen stimulation. Safety Notes: G6PD deficiency is relevant to 8-aminoquinolines; established safety database exists for malaria prevention dosing—critical as studies expand to babesiosis. Notable Quotes “You've got to put some lines in the sand—run the trial, collect data, and move the field forward.” “The best we can do for chronic disease starts with defining it—and validating the diagnostics we use to track it.” “8-aminoquinolines offer a different mechanism than current babesiosis standards—key for resistance and combinations.” Resources Mentioned Arakoda (tafenoquine): FDA-approved for malaria prevention; under study for babesiosis. Diagnostics: FDA-approved Babesia blood donor screen; Galaxy Diagnostics PCR; Mayo Clinic PCR. Organizations & Events: ILADS, Global Lyme Alliance, tick-borne disease conferences. Research Partners: Mount Sinai (NYC), Tulane University (Bartonella/Borrelia collaboration). Who Should Listen Patients with chronic Lyme or chronic babesiosis symptoms (fatigue, air hunger, anemia) Clinicians seeking updates on Babesia treatment research and diagnostics Caregivers and advocates tracking IACI and immune dysregulation science Researchers exploring antimalarial repurposing for tick-borne diseases Call to Action Subscribe to Tick Boot Camp and share this episode with someone navigating chronic tick-borne illness.

   FRANKOPAN5.mp3 - Mosquito Empires, Slavery, and European Prosperity (17th–18th Centuries) Professor Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History The 17th–18th centuries saw "mosquito empires" where malaria limited European settlement, leading to West Africa being called the "white man's grave." The rise of transatlantic slavery was linked to disease resilience, as many West Africans carried genetic resistance to malaria, making them highly sought-after laborers in the Americas. New American crops like cassava boosted global calorie provision, freeing up labor. European prosperity, especially Britain's, was built on exploiting the Americas and Africa for resources and labor. Massive wealth extraction, such as Robert Clive's seizure of Bengal's treasury, cemented European power. Meanwhile, the decline of indigenous populations in the Americas resulted in substantial reforestation.

Der Bandname des deutsch-französischen Trios führt möglicherweise ein wenig in die Irre – haben dessen Songs doch wenig mit den malmend-mächtigen Zeitlupenriffs und -rhythmen von Doom Metal-Bands wie Candlemass, Cirith Ungol oder The Obsessed gemein. Stattdessen gehen Berliner Doom eher flott zu Werke, wenngleich sie die dreistelligen Beats-pro-Minute-Zahlen ihrer Anfänge als Grindcore-Duo zugunsten eines kantig-kalten Dark-Wave-Midtempo-Sounds ad acta gelegt haben. Damit erinnern sie nun eher an DAF, Malaria! oder Fehlfarben denn (frühe) Carcass oder Napalm Death. Geblieben sind die Vorlieben für Wortspiele und Kürze: Nachdem sie für die 2023er EP "Wer das hört ist doom" noch ganze 12 (!) Stücke auf sieben Zoll Vinyl unterbrachten, sind es auf ihrem neuen Album "Notre Doom" immerhin noch zehn, von denen das "längste" knapp die Zweieinhalb-Minuten-Marke knackt. Im Titel kommt – nach dem Berliner Sakralbau im Bandnamen – nun auch die wohl berühmteste Pariser Kathedrale zu ihrer Verballhornungsehre, während die 2024 zu den Gründungsmitgliedern Daniel Wiest und Boris Guschlbauer gestoßene französische Sängerin Claire Roy die Songtexte in ihrer Muttersprache sowie in charmant von deren Akzent gefärbtem Deutsch oder Englisch vorträgt. Das klangliche Endergebnis evoziert exzessive Berliner Nächte unter Schwarz- und Neonlicht, zwischen U-Bahn ("Mehringdamm") und Club ("Lost On The Dancefloor") beziehungsweise Euphorie und Hangover. Die Gelegenheit, mehr über das Trio zu erfahren und natürlich auch in "Notre Doom" reinzuhören, dessen Erscheinen am 28.10. mit einer Release-Show im Schokoladen gefeiert wird, bietet der heutige Besuch von Berliner Doom als unsere radioeins-Lokalmatadore.

Hey Poison Friends! I know I promised a lot for this one episode, including West Nile, Zika, EEE, and Malaria. The truth is, malaria is just a huge topic on its own and instead of keeping you all here for hours at one time, we are discussing malaria in all of its old and new world glory, so to speak. I will be adding an extra bonus on our Patreon later this week that will be free for all for those still interested in West Nile/Zika, so come check that out there. The parasite that causes malaria is actually older than us humans and since humans entered the scene, they have been our nemesis. Mosquitoes are known to be, historically, the deadliest animal simply because of how many people have died due to malaria that they have transmitted. We are discussing the history of humankind vs mosquito/malaria and how various people groups of different eras attempted to deal with the disease. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Greeks, the Romans, ancient China, and those living throughout the middle ages in Europe. Previous notions were that malaria came from "bad air" and, in fact, the name comes from the Italian for "bad air." The Miasma and Humors theories were still prevalent in medicine, of course, until the true means of infection were discovered in the late 1800s. Also, we cannot leave out its historic prevalence in Africa and its later history among the American colonies, the Native Americans (indigenous groups in North and South America), Oceania, and among and throughout the African slave trade. History has been a doozy, lets be honest, and mosquitoes (and malaria) have witnessed it all. They even had their effects on historical events like the Fall of Rome, the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, etc. We are delving into the science as well, discussing who discovered its causal agent and who found how it was transmitted via mosquito. Needless to say, the war with malaria has been awful through the centuries and in Sub-Saharan Africa, it still is. The disease is also still prevalent in Southeast Asia and in South America. So what have been the historic methods of treatment and how far have we come in this fight? Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Malaria kills more than half a million people a year, and an effective vaccine has been elusive. But a San Antonio malaria researcher and her team have discovered a vulnerability in the malaria parasite's method of avoiding the human immune system that may make all the difference.

Korsika ist eine der gebirgigsten Inseln im Mittelmeer: Zwei Drittel der Fläche liegen über 500 Meter, der höchste Gipfel, der Monte Cinto, kommt mit seinen 2.706 Metern fast an Deutschlands höchsten Berg, die Zugspitze, heran. Gleich mehrere Wanderwege durchziehen das hügelige Hinterland der „Île de Beauté“, der „Insel der Schönheit“, wie Korsika auf französisch gerne genannt wird. Die Routen führen über steile Berghänge, duftende Wiesen und durch verwunschene Wälder. Wer hier wandern will, sollte Höhen- und Hitzeerprobt sein, aber immerhin für Letzteres gibt es Abhilfe: Der nächste, eiskalte Wasserfall oder See ist garantiert nicht weit. In der Abgeschiedenheit der Berge haben sich Eigenheiten in Sprache, Musik und Lebensweise bewahrt. In den Bergen, so sagen die Einheimischen, ist die wahre korsische Seele zu finden. Lange Zeit spielte sich hier, und nicht an der heute beliebten Küste, das Leben ab: Denn am Wasser wütete die Malaria, es gab Attacken feindlicher Invasoren und kein Weideland für die Schafe und Ziege, die auf Korsika bis heute allgegenwärtig sind. Im Sommer zogen die Hirten mit ihren Tieren in die hohen Berge, um Hitze und Mücken zu entfliehen. Mancherorts wird die Wanderviehwirtschaft, die Transhumanz, noch heute praktiziert. Verena Carola Mayer ist den alten Hirtenwegen gefolgt: Sie war zu Fuß unterwegs auf dem „Sentier de la Transhumance“, der auf fünf Tagesetappen und knapp 80 Kilometern vom Landesinneren an die nordwestliche Küste führt. Anderer Wanderer traf sie unterwegs kaum – dafür Hüttenwirte, Sänger, Hirtinnen und Schafherden.

For decades, Africa's malaria strategy has focused almost exclusively on disease control through indoor mosquito management and personal protection — bed nets, indoor spraying, and individual-level interventions. But this approach alone isn't working. Progress against malaria in the African region has slowed significantly, with cases declining by just 5% since 2015 and mortality by 16%, according to the World Health Organization. Experts now argue it's time to shift from disease-centric, indoor mosquito management to more robust integrated mosquito management strategies. That means taking a tiered approach, starting with reducing mosquito breeding sites, treating water sources with larvicides, and then targeting adult mosquitoes. “The tendency will probably be to think about controlling mosquitoes when they are flying only. But they are actually more vulnerable when they are not flying, usually when they are in the water,” explained Silas Majambere, a medical entomologist and business manager of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East at Valent BioSciences. This approach, known as larval source management, has proven both cost-effective and sustainable. “The conversation is shifting away from just talking about a disease and saying, ‘How do we take those limited public health dollars and manage the mosquito so that we can manage multiple diseases for those dollars?'” said Jason Clark, managing director for global public health and forest health at Valent BioSciences. Some countries are already moving in this direction. In Benin, the government is framing mosquito control not just as a health issue but as an economic one. The government is focusing on tourism as one of the key pillars of growth for the country, and the presence of mosquito-borne diseases is a direct threat to that, explained Sinde Chekete, adviser to the president of Benin. “We believe that investing in mosquito control will ultimately bring resources, will bring revenue, because we'll be able to welcome more tourists … and reduce the overall cost of malaria,” he said. Chekete, Majambere, and Clark joined Devex Executive Editor Kate Warren to discuss the shift toward integrated mosquito management in a special Devex podcast episode sponsored by Valent BioSciences.
