“…Transmission intensity is associated with the average age at which children experience serious incidents of malaria. Children suffer more from symptomatic malaria at a younger age in areas of high transmission [19]. Usually, the risk of malaria incidence is positively related to the age, meaning people have more chance of getting malaria incidence the older they are [41].…”

“…WHO is continuously putting its effort to control and eradicate malaria through the global malaria program that sets an aim to eradicate malaria from the world by 2030 with its long-term visionary initiative "Global technical strategy for malaria 2016-2030" [9]. Additionally, there are several organizations that have been funding to prevent and control malaria worldwide, such as the US Agency for International Development, World Bank, and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Malaria is the leading cause of death globally, especially in sub-Saharan African countries claiming over 400,000 deaths globally each year, underscoring the critical need for continued efforts to combat this preventable and treatable disease. The objective of this study is to provide statistical guidance on the optimal preventive and control measures against malaria. Data have been collected from reliable sources, such as World Health Organization, UNICEF, Our World in Data, and STATcompiler. Data were categorized according to the factors and sub-factors related to deaths caused by malaria. These factors and sub-factors were determined based on root cause analysis and data sources. Using JMP 16 Pro software, both linear and multiple linear regression were conducted to analyze the data. The analyses aimed to establish a linear relationship between the dependent variable (malaria deaths in the overall population) and independent variables, such as life expectancy, malaria prevalence in children, net usage, indoor residual spraying usage, literate population, and population with inadequate sanitation in each selected sample country. The statistical analysis revealed that using insecticide treated nets (ITNs) by children and individuals significantly decreased the death count, as 1,000 individuals sleeping under ITNs could reduce the death count by eight. Based on the statistical analysis, this study suggests more rigorous research on the usage of ITNs.

“…These mechanical properties of hydrogel electrolytes are of great importance, as they determine how well flexible and wearable supercapacitors can fit the wearer and how comfortable they are to wear. [243][244][245] This part of review covers recent advances in MXenenanocellulose composites for energy storage and generation applications. The composites are made into lithium-sulfur battery cathodes and supercapacitor electrodes, leveraging MXene's conductivity and high surface area.…”

MXenes have been highly attractive to researchers owing to their layered nanostructure, excellent electrical conductivity, and abundance of functional groups. Meanwhile, nanocellulose materials, known for their biodegradability, renewability, compatibility with living organisms, and cost‐effectiveness, have emerged as a popular choice for material selection researchers. Recent research has discovered that combining nanocellulose with MXenes can improve the mechanical properties of MXenes, resulting in composite materials with remarkable electrical and mechanical properties. This article provides an overview of the three main types of nanocellulose: cellulose nanofiber, cellulose nanocrystal, and bacterial cellulose. It also discusses various synthesis methods for MXenes, including MXene/nanocellulose‐based hydrogel and aerogel. Additionally, the article highlights the multiple uses of MXene/nanocellulose composites in different fields, including flexible sensing materials, electromagnetic shielding, energy storage structures, and wearable health monitoring. This review covers distinctive characteristics and unique MXene/nanocellulose composite behaviors, their recent advancements in MXene/nanocellulose synthesis, and applications. Moving forward, the potential for these materials to be used innovatively with anticipation of taking the MXene/nanocellulose‐based research further steps across the respective scientific community.

(1) Background: Stroke patients with hemiplegia have an increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT increases the risk of life-threatening pulmonary embolism and is associated with poor prognosis. The early wearing of compression stockings can help prevent DVT. This study aimed to assess the impact of compression stockings on body balance in stroke patients with unilateral lower extremity muscle weakness; (2) Methods: Hemiplegic stroke patients in the subacute phase who were able to walk with assistance were recruited. The patients were divided into two groups: one group received rehabilitation treatment with compression stockings, and the other received treatment without compression stockings. The rehabilitation treatment involved hospitalization for 4 weeks, the Trunk Control Test (TCT), the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The patients were evaluated before and 4 weeks after the start of treatment. The differences in BBS, TCT, and TIS before and after treatment between the two groups were compared; (3) Results: Altogether, 236 hemiplegic stroke patients were recruited. There was an improvement in body balance after treatment in both groups, and BBS, TCT, and TIS scores significantly increased in the group that received rehabilitation treatment with compression stockings; (4) Conclusions: In patients with hemiplegic stroke in the subacute period, rehabilitation while wearing compression stockings appears to improve body balance.
