Children under five experiencing anaemia present a notable public health issue. While the prevalence of anemia in Ghana is decreasing, the severity of anemia among Ghanaian children is unfortunately increasing. Among Ghanaian children aged 6 to 59 months, this study explores the factors underlying the severity of anemia.

Data from the 2019 Ghana Malaria Indicator Survey, encompassing a weighted sample of 1258 children experiencing anemia, served as the basis for the study. The characteristics of mothers, household children, and health systems served as predictor variables. Details regarding the SPSS version. At the multivariate level, three multinomial logistic models, employing carefully selected predictor variables, were constructed and executed. The 95% confidence level was maintained throughout all tests.

Anemia affected a significant 435% of the under-five population. Within the analyzed sample, 26% presented with severe anemia, 485% with moderate anemia, and 489% with mild anemia. The multinomial analysis highlighted a substantial correlation between maternal, household, child, and health system aspects and the level of anemia observed in anemic children. The study’s results suggest a reduced risk of anemia severity in children of Pentecostal/Charismatic mothers (AOR=0.18, Model I; AOR=0.15, Model III). Likewise, children who test negative for malaria exhibit a lower probability of severe anemia (AOR=0.28 in Model II; AOR=0.28 in Model III). A greater chance of severe anemia was discovered among anemic children whose mothers were not informed about NHIS malaria coverage (AOR = 241, Model II; AOR = 260, Model III). Among children, those from impoverished, less affluent, and middle-income households exhibited a heightened propensity for moderate anemia compared to their counterparts from wealthier families, concerning moderate anemia levels. Anaemic children, categorized as less than 12 months old (AOR=221-model II, AOR=229-model III) and those in the age range of one to two years (AOR=184-model II, AOR=183-model III), were found to be more predisposed to moderate anemia.

The study’s results reveal the critical need to understand the multifaceted relationships amongst contributing factors that influence anemia severity in children under five years old; this understanding is essential for the creation and implementation of effective programs and strategies.

Strategies and programs aimed at mitigating childhood anaemia must prioritize comprehending the intricate interdependencies of the numerous factors impacting anaemia severity in children under five, as demonstrated by the study’s findings.

Employing the Sensoready autoinjector pen, patients can independently administer subcutaneous ofatumumab injections at home. The research will focus on the preference for Sensoready versus comparative autoinjectors among patients and nurses with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Preliminary surveying in Germany preceded in-field interviews encompassing the United States, Germany, France, and Italy. Eighty multiple sclerosis patients and fifty multiple sclerosis nurses were selected to participate in the survey. In 45-minute interviews, patients (31 questions) and nurses (41 questions) were asked to complete a qualitative, open-ended, and quantitative, close-ended survey. From ‘not at all important’ (1) to ‘extremely important’ (10), ratings were determined using a Likert scale.

Self-injection with the pen, easily performed, and independent patient use, both rated 94 overall, were crucial aspects for both nurses and patients. In a statistically significant manner (p<0.005), Sensoready exhibited high scores across essential attributes for both patients and nurses. Across the board, Sensoready devices were deemed superior to comparator models in the vast majority of critical characteristics (84%, p<0.005), especially with regards to the ease of use of the pen, scoring an average of 94. A clear preference for Sensoready was demonstrated by 9 out of 10 nurses and 8 out of 10 patients, when selecting a treatment device based solely on the properties of the device.

MS patients and nurses, in the choice of treatment, preferred Sensoready (ofatumumab) over its comparator autoinjectors, with the straightforward administration procedure being the primary factor.

For both MS patients and their nurses, the simpler administration of Sensoready (ofatumumab) made it the preferred choice over comparator auto-injectors.

Several arthropod and filarioid nematode species, including Dirofilaria immitis, share a symbiotic relationship with the Gram-negative endosymbiont Wolbachia. In the body’s response to Leishmania infantum, this endosymbiont could contribute to a Th1 immune reaction.

In order to explore the intricate relationships between the Wolbachia of D. immitis and L. infantum within the naturally infected canine population, and to assess circulating cytokines, a selection of 187 dogs exhibiting no clinical symptoms was undertaken. A canine microfilariae (mfs) examination was conducted by Knott, followed by a SNAP test for female D. immitis antigens, and an analysis for anti-L antibodies. IFAT analysis yielded infantum antibodies, which were subsequently divided into four groups. Dogs from group 1 (G1) demonstrated positive results for D. immitis, and their response to L. infantum was positive. Conversely, dogs from group 2 (G2), while also positive for D. immitis, yielded either a positive or negative outcome for L. infantum. Dogs in group 3 (G3) showed no reactivity to D. immitis. Group 4 (G4) dogs, however, presented either a positive or negative reaction to L. infantum. qPCR methodology was employed to quantify Wolbachia and *Leishmania infantum* DNA extracted from the blood of canines. An ELISA test was utilized to evaluate pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production in a sample group of 65 dogs.

A survey of 93 dogs infected with D. immitis and possessing circulating microfilariae revealed 85% positivity for Wolbachia, with the highest Wolbachia DNA levels observed in G1 dogs and the lowest in dogs from G1 and G2 groups with reduced microfilariae loads. Among the dogs tested positive for L. infantum, a lower antibody titre was observed in 66% of group G1, while group G3, comprising 489%, demonstrated the highest antibody titre. Of the 37 dogs in group G1 that were Wolbachia-positive, 26 exhibited low antibody titers, quantified at 1160, for L. infantum. Within the cytokine profile of G1, TNF displayed the maximum average concentration, quantified at 2465 pg/ml, and IFN stood out as the most abundant cytokine, making up 643% of the observed cytokines. Canines in group G1 had the highest mean levels of IL-10 (18095 pg/ml) and IL-6 (1235 pg/ml). An overall lower percentage of dogs in all studied groups demonstrated IL-4 production, with the greatest average concentration (2794 pg/ml) observed in group G2.

The observed association of lower antibody titers against L. infantum in dogs co-infected with D. immitis and Wolbachia points towards a potential influence of the endosymbiont on the development of patent leishmaniosis. Nevertheless, the inherent variability of naturally infected canines in real-world settings necessitates the validation of findings through studies employing experimental models.

The study’s outcomes demonstrate a correlation between *D. immitis*, Wolbachia co-infection, and decreased antibody titers towards *L. infantum* in dogs, suggesting a plausible mechanism by which the endosymbiont might affect the course of canine leishmaniosis. Results arising from studies of naturally infected canines in field settings require validation using experimental models, owing to the inherent heterogeneity of the animal subjects.
