Abstract

Background In Liberia, an estimated 32% of children under 5 are stunted. Malnutrition and hunger worsened during the country’s civil war and were further exacerbated by the 2014–2016 outbreak of Ebola virus disease. Studies examining adherence to recommended infant and young child feeding practices frequently do so with an emphasis on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of mothers and caregivers. Often overlooked are the structural factors that enable or constrain their agency to practise evidence-based recommendations.Methods Between July and December 2017, we surveyed 100 Liberian mothers to assess the sociodemographic factors associated with the risk of severe acute malnutrition in children in Maryland County, Liberia. We also conducted 50 in-depth interviews at two government health facilities to qualitatively explore mothers’ experiences, as well as health workers’ understandings of the determinants of malnutrition in the region.

Abstract

Sexual maturation is associated with increasing levels of sex steroids. These steroidal events are the result of complex changes that occur at several functional levels including the hypothalamus, pituitary, gonad and adrenal gland. These changes, as outlined in Table 3, are often interrelated. While considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the hormonal events associated with sexual maturation, many important questions remain unanswered. Further intensive investigation will be required before we have a lucid understanding of the physiological basis of the sequence of hormonal events which occur during the pubertal process.

30. Corticotropin/lipotropin common precursor-like material in normal rat extrapituitary tissues.

Author

Saito, E and Odell, W D

Abstract

A Mr 26,000 corticotropin (ACTH)-like material is present in glacial acetic acid extracts of all normal rat extrapituitary tissues. In the present study, beta-melanotropin (beta-MSH) immunoactivity was detected in glacial acetic acid extracts of normal rat extrapituitary tissues. beta-MSH immunoactivity was also present in all extracts (mean +/- SEM, fmol/mg of protein): brain, 71.0 +/- 16.3; stomach, 11.5 +/- 1.6; kidney, 8.9 +/- 0.8; colon, 8.2 +/- 1.1; small intestine, 6.5 +/- 1.1; liver, 4.3 +/- 0.5; and heart, 3.2 +/- 0.5. Except in brain extracts, beta-MSH and ACTH immunoactivities of tissue extracts were strongly correlated to each other (r = 0.79; n = 42). When tissue extracts (except brain) were passed through a Sephadex G-75 (superfine) column, ACTH and beta-MSH immunoactivities were eluted in a single peak corresponding to Mr 26,000. In contrast, for brain extracts, the MrS of major peaks of ACTH and beta-MSH immunoactivities were 4,500 and 8,000, respectively; a smaller peak of Mr 26,000 ACTH/beta-MSH-like material was also eluted. Specific anti-ACTH immunocolumns, which did not bind purified synthetic beta-MSH, adsorbed both ACTH and beta-MSH immunoactivities of all tissue extracts except those of brain. One-third of the beta-MSH immunoactivity in brain extracts adsorbed to the anti-ACTH immunocolumn, but two-thirds of beta-MSH immunoactivity passed through the column. We conclude that ACTH and beta-MSH immunoactivities are present in all normal rat extrapituitary tissues and exist in most tissues on the same molecule. This Mr 26,000 molecule is closely related to the pituitary ACTH/beta-lipotropin common precursor.

Malnutrition and hunger worsened during the country’s civil war and were further exacerbated by the 2014–2016 outbreak of Ebola virus disease. Studies examining adherence to recommended infant and young child feeding practices frequently do so with an emphasis on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of mothers and caregivers. Often overlooked are the structural factors that enable or constrain their agency to practise evidence-based recommendations.MethodsBetween July and December 2017, we surveyed 100 Liberian mothers to assess the sociodemographic factors associated with the risk of severe acute malnutrition in children in Maryland County, Liberia. We also conducted 50 in-depth interviews at two government health facilities to qualitatively explore mothers’ experiences, as well as health workers’ understandings of the determinants of malnutrition in the region. We applied logistic regression to analyse quantitative data and inductive content analysis to thematically interpret qualitative data.ResultsMothers were less likely to have a child with severe acute malnutrition if they had an income greater than US$50 per month (adjusted OR (aOR)=0.14, pDiscussionThe lived experiences of Liberian mothers and health workers illustrate that child malnutrition is a direct consequence of abject poverty, food insecurity, illiteracy, the precarious nature of formal and informal work, and the lack of robust social protection. Behaviour change and health education interventions that do not seek to alleviate structural barriers to compliance are unlikely to be effective.
