S Lloyd M Sampa

Background: Anaemia is a worldwide major problem known to affect people throughout the world. It has an adverse effect on both the social and economic development. The worldwide prevalence of anaemia is 9% in developed nations. The global estimate indicates that 293.1 million of children under five years, approximately 43%, are anaemic worldwide and 28.5% of these children are found in sub Saharan Africa. In Zambia specifically Kasempa, no documented studies on prevalence have been done. Despite iron supplementation given to pregnant women and the availability of blood transfusion. The burden of the disease remains high as determined by high mortality and morbidity. This study aims at determining the prevalence of anaemia and the known associated risk factors among under-five children at Mukinge Mission Hospital in Kasempa District. Knowledge of prevalence and the known associated risk factors of anaemia will
enhance early detection and timely management.
Methods: This was a retrospective study review of under-five children that were diagnosed and managed of Anaemia at Mukinge Missions Hospital, over the period of period of 2015, 2017 and 2018. Data of the variables of interest was extracted and analyzed using SPSS software version 23.
Results: A sample population of 52 children was included in this study. The majority of the children were females 28 (53.8%) and 24 (46.2%) were males. It was found that moderate and severe anaemia among anaemic children was 17.3% and 82.7% respectively. Additionally, majority of the anaemic children (75%) had normocytic anaemia. The [earson chi square test revealed no statistical relationship between the variables; Malaria (p=0.58), age (P=0.82), gender (P=0.91).
Conclusion: According to our study, 39 (75%) had normal mean corpuscular volume which could suggest chronic diseases and sickle cell anaemia. 11 (21.2%) had a low mean corpuscular volume indicating microcytic anaemia which could suggest diseases such as iron deficiency and thalassemia among many other
causes. However, we were unable to determine the specific cause of anaemia.

Golchin Binandeh

In the field of educational psychology, many activities have been conducted with clinical trials, and its results have helped to solve many people's psychological problems at community level. To this end, we wanted to address one of the most unique student dilemmas, general health, in this project. Our goal was to find a solution to reduce this problem, and the results of school in high school showed that the amount of factor of the diseases can be controlled by a public health approach (and the data were more than 95% accurate). Studies show that if the student community is in good health, both physically and mentally, it can reduce mental illness in the test session and allow people to put their knowledge on the test questions. Public health is not guaranteed unless both human and mental health are provided. The project aims to improve the health of a complex in a high school, which can be used to control the Overall health of the community.

Targeting Amyloid β in the Management of Alzheimerâ??s Disease

Ephrem Ashenafi

Alzheimer`s Disease (AD) is a ruthlessly progressive neurodegenerative disease that has been growing steadily. Amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide buildup in the brain
is thought to play a crucial role in the instigation and/or advancement of Alzheimer’s disease. Revisions to the amyloid cascade hypothesis now distinguish the
delicate balance in which Aβ exists and the role played by the enzymes in the production and breakdown of Aβ in maintaining healthy Aβ levels. Several targets
have been identified and a long list of compounds has been developed to treat and/or slow the progression of the disease. However, none has reached the clinical
arena. In this review, we tried to discuss some potential targets for maintaining healthy levels of amyloid-beta.
