Does Peanut Consumption in Infancy Prevent Peanut Allergy?
A new NIAID-funded study suggests that early consumption of peanut may prevent peanut allergy in children at high risk of developing the allergy. Under careful medical supervision, infants were assigned to either avoid or include peanut products in their diets until 5 years of age.
The researchers found an 81 percent reduction of peanut allergy in children who consumed peanut compared to those who avoided peanut. The study is the first to show that early introduction of peanut is beneficial, but the researchers caution that parents of children at risk for developing food allergy should discuss dietary questions with an allergist or pediatrician.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Health: Challenges and Opportunities The COVID-19 pandemic is having profound impacts on public health, extending far beyond tuberculosis (TB) to encompass a wide range of infectious diseases. Recent research by the US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (USCDC) sheds light on some of these effects in detail. During the pandemic, the redirection of all health resources and staff from TB control programs to COVID-19 response teams significantly impacted the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of TB cases. This diversion of resources not only affected TB but also disrupted efforts to combat other infectious diseases. Early detection of various infectious diseases became challenging due to overwhelmed healthcare systems and prioritization of COVID-19 cases. Furthermore, routine vaccinations for children were delayed during the pandemic, leading to a decline in vaccination rates. This delay not only affected TB but also compromised

Research Methodology for Graduate Students The elements of a proposal The research proposal is an overall plan, scheme, structure and strategy designed to obtain answers to the research questions. It consists of a series of tasks which form a logical path that leads the observer to his/her conclusions. It is a plan that should be undertaken to fulfill the research objectives and test hypotheses. It answers what a researcher proposing to do, how is he/she plan to proceed and how the proposed strategy is selected. Views are different about the best arrangements of a research’s ingredients and vary markedly from discipline to discipline. The order usually reflects what seems to be the order in which proposal writes think through and develop their ideas. Therefore, it must be a convincing and descriptive document, that makes the ideas and approach crystal clear.
