 An open-label randomised controlled trial comparing novel combination and currently used antibiotic regimens for the empiric treatment of neonatal sepsis with a run-in confirmatory pharmacokinetic phase: NeoSep1
REFNo: HS5639ES

In Part 2, a secondary objective is to provide a ranking of clinically relevant antibiotic regimens based on other efficacy and safety secondary outcomes, as well as on health economic measures and the potential selection of resistance. The trial data will provide data to inform the balance between efficacy, safety, costs (and cost-effectiveness and equity, using health economic analysis) and propensity for resistance selection (based on microbiology tests) that will influence facility-level and national decision-making about adoption of studied regimens, and potential future inclusion in WHO guidelines.,In Part 2, the primary objective is to provide a ranking of eight different clinically relevant antibiotic regimens for first-line empiric and second-line (after lack of response/deterioration) treatment in terms of 28-day mortality as the primary outcome measure. It will flexibly compare these multiple different relevant treatment regimens to enable the trial to be run in sites worldwide with very different background rates of different pathogens, of resistance and patterns of routine clinical care by randomising each participant to locally relevant antibiotic regimens agreed prior to site initiation. The trial will ensure generalisability by focusing inclusion based on clinical symptoms associated with high mortality risk in the NeoOBS study, which have been developed into a novel neonatal sepsis severity score – the NeoSep Severity Score.,

 A pilot Study for introducing a Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) device (Baby Checker), supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI), in peri-urban UgandaVersion 1.3 August
REFNo: SS3581ES

Objective and Research Questions
The objective of this research is to assess the technical performance and health outcomes resulting from the introduction of the BabyChecker device in peri-urban Uganda. Specifically, the study aims to evaluate its impact on enhancing timely ANC, including routine care and referrals, thereby potentially reducing maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. This evaluation will inform developers and implementers on the effective and responsible deployment of the BabyChecker Point-of-Care Ultrasound Scan (POCUS).

2.1 Research Questions per Component
A. Technical Performance
Health Worker performance research questions:
1. What is the initial scanning performance of health workers by cadre on their first day of using BabyChecker?
2. What is the average scanning performance over the study period for health workers by cadre (e.g., certificate, diploma, degree nurses, midwives, clinical officers)?
3. Is there a correlation between the average scanning performance of health workers and their cadre or years of experience?
4. How much time do health workers require to navigate the BabyChecker application and complete a scan on their first day?
5. What is the average time required by health workers to navigate the BabyChecker application and complete a scan over the study period?
6. How well is the BabyChecker equipment maintained throughout the study period?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) research questions:
1. What is the specificity and sensitivity of BabyChecker's AI in estimating gestational age during the first and second trimesters?
2. What is the specificity and sensitivity of BabyChecker's AI in identifying non-cephalic fetal presentation and low placental localization or placenta previa during the third trimester (36+ weeks)?
B. Health Effectiveness
The hypothesis posits that the introduction of BabyChecker will increase ANC attendance during the first trimester and improve access to imaging services, leading to early detection of risk factors and subsequent referrals. The study focuses on observing changes in ANC attendance, risk factor identification, and referral initiation as direct outcomes of the POCUS intervention.
Health Effectiveness of BabyChecker (AI + Remote Read Results) research questions:
1. Does the introduction of the BabyChecker and other VHE community interventions contribute to an increase in pregnant women first attending ANC during the first trimester?
2. Does the introduction of the BabyChecker and mobilization contribute to an increase in pregnant women that come for the 8th ANC visits?
3. Does the introduction of BabyChecker contribute to an increased overall number of ANC visits?
4. Does the introduction of BabyChecker increase the detection rate of pregnancy risk factors such as multiple pregnancies, placenta previa, breech presentation, or non-longitudinal fetal positions?
5. Does the introduction of BabyChecker increase referrals for multiple pregnancies, placenta previa, breech presentation, or non-longitudinal fetal positions?
6. Do women follow through on referrals, and do these referrals lead to improved health outcomes among women in the private sector?

 International classification, cancer and care: Accounting for the diagnostic potential of low- and middle-income countries
REFNo: SS3561ES

NOTES: The overall project is guided by three research questions, given here with their related objectives. Specific objectives for research activities in Uganda are also described. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE 1: What are the “on-the-ground realities” of brain tumour diagnosis and care in Sub-Saharan Africa and how does diagnostic practice in brain tumours differ across the region? OBJECTIVE 1: To develop three detailed empirical case studies of diagnostic work and brain tumour care in Uganda, Nigeria and South Africa that are embedded in understandings of care23, national policy, socio-technical infrastructures, and international classification. OBJECTIVE 2: To compare empirical case studies to develop rich understandings of how practitioners in Sub-Saharan Africa use, refuse, or adapt WHO classifications, or mobilise to establish their own terms of reference. OBJECTIVE 3: To generate critical perspectives on diagnostic value, where diagnosis might not be assumed an essential condition of good care. RESEARCH QUESTION 2: How are the diagnostic contexts of LMICs considered by experts writing international cancer classifications? OBJECTIVE 4: To examine how international cancer classifiers understand diagnostic approaches and infrastructures in LMICs. OBJECTIVE 5: To examine the individual values and institutional principles that guide how classifiers consider these approaches in their decision-making about cancer classification. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE 3: How are local medical practitioners, cancer advocates, and international organisations mobilising in a regional network to improve brain tumour outcomes across Sub-Saharan Africa? OBJECTIVE 6: To explore how local medical practitioners, advocates, and international organisations in Sub-Saharan Africa are collaborating in a new professional network, Society for Neuro-Oncology Sub-Saharan Africa (SNOSSA), to improve brain tumour diagnosis and care across Sub-Saharan Africa. OBJECTIVE 7: To examine how members understand unity and diversity among Sub-Saharan African countries, and establish common aspirations and strategies concerning diagnosis and classification. OBJECTIVE 8: To explore how members understand their work on a disease which is considered rare, yet its true incidence unknown, and which is de-prioritised in national and international funding. The specific research objective for research conducted in Uganda is to develop a thorough ethnographic understanding of how brain tumour diagnosis happens in practice; how diagnostic work relates to local sociotechnical infrastructure, national policy, and international classification; and how diagnosis relates to care and treatment decision-making.

 Empowering Local Communities to Oversee Waste Management Services
REFNo: SS3614ES

The open burning of household waste is a major public health challenge throughout the Global South, since it creates a direct route of exposure to concentrated air pollution. One reason why people turn to open burning is that the collection of household waste is unreliable. In the context of our study (Nansana Municipality / Wakiso District), municipal and district governments write contracts with private companies to collect waste from specific neighborhoods, but have trouble overseeing those contracts to ensure that pickup schedules are appropriate and that services are reliable. This prevents residents from using services and creates barriers to meeting national goals of reducing the informal disposal of plastic wastes. We will conduct a randomized experiment where the treatment will involve granting authority for the oversight and monitoring of waste services to zones (LC1s), which are the lowest level jurisdiction in Uganda. Specifically, we will provide training to chairpersons in treated zones about (1) new authority for oversight of contractors, including the ability to recommend dismissal of existing contractors who do not meet their obligations; and (2) new responsibilities for recommending contractors in the case of openings. The control zones will continue to have their waste collection contracts centrally managed by municipal or district authorities. Decentralizing authority for waste management may improve the fit of contracts to local conditions. However, the devolution of oversight authority may also raise risks of inefficiency and decreased professionalism in management. We will build upon a previous project with the Nansana Municipal Government and utilize a vetted data collection protocol for measuring informal waste disposal (Buntaine et al. 2024). We will conduct transects through both treatment and control neighborhoods to document the amount of household waste that is disposed informally. The key outcome targeted in the experiment is a decrease in the informal disposal of household waste. We will specifically evaluate whether decentralizing oversight authority decreases the amount of solid waste that is burned in sample zones. Our project aligns with national priorities to decrease the informal disposal of plastic waste.

 Social nutrition in guenons in Uganda
REFNo: NS895ES

I will investigate the effects of conspecific sociality on nutritional intake and nutrient balance in two forest guenon species in Uganda. Though we will investigate the nutrition of both sexes, we will start by examining adult female guenon social nutrition. Female guenons may face a tradeoff between (1) competition with conspecifics, potentially in the context of shallow dominance hierarchies, and with other monkey species and (2) their own nutritional goals. I will examine conspecific social behavior and nutrition at Kanyawara site, Kibale National Park, where I will continue my redtail nutrition work (Bryer 2020) examining nutrient intake and balance of female redtails in the context of conspecific and heterospecific feeding competition. I will also examine diet, then nutrition, and social behavior of females in one L’Hoest’s monkey group.
