Feasibility of setting up solar powered oxygen supply in Rukungiri District, Uganda and in Butembo, DRC
REFNo: HS3587ES
Main Objective
This proposal seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of solar powered oxygen cylinder filling stations to supply medical oxygen to health facilities in Rukungiri District, Uganda and in Butembo, DRC.
Specific Aims
Describe the oxygen needs (survey of oxygen demand) and willingness-to-pay (market survey) at 14 medical facilities in Rukungiri District, Uganda, and 95 facilities in Butembo, DRC.
a. Specific: The aim is narrowly defined to include cylinder demand and price point.
b. Measurable: Survey data will measure cylinder need at each facility and price point (willingness to pay).
c. Achievable: The 14 sites in Uganda and 95 sites in DRC. We anticipate this survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, with on-site interview. Thus, the aim is achievable.
d. Relevant: These data are important for understanding the feasibility of supplying cylinders from a solar powered oxygen filling station.
e. Time-bound: Once approved, the study is anticipated to take 3 to 6 months to complete data collection. Data analysis and write-up of results is anticipated to take another 6 months.
2. Evaluate if solar powered cylinder filling is a feasible model to improve oxygen access.
a. Specific: The aim is narrowly defined to test the feasibility of the proposed cylinder filling stations.
b. Measurable: In order to be feasible, the costs and revenues need to be defined. These will be directly measured (recorded) based on the project activities (cylinder sales, equipment procurement).
c. Achievable: With partners (LeanMed), the cylinder filling stations can be implemented. Thereafter, the evaluation will be achievable.
d. Relevant: These data are important for understanding the real-world implementation of solar powered oxygen filling stations.
e. Time-bound: Once the study is approved and equipment is shipped and installed, we will evaluate project costs and revenues over a well-defined 12-month period.
Hypothesis
The working hypothesis is that solar powered oxygen filling stations are feasible and can generate revenue to maintain the ongoing provision of oxygen in areas where access is limited.

Etiological role of parasitic exposure and familial susceptibility in nodding syndrome- related epilepsies
REFNo: HS3940ES
The central aim of this study is to investigate if families with nodding syndrome (NS) share common electrophysiological and clinical features forming a distinct familial epilepsy syndrome and if this phenotype is conferred by parasite, Onchocerca volvulus (OV)-associated hu-Leiomodin-1 antibodies in genetically susceptible individuals. This project provides a unique opportunity to mechanistically understand how the onchocerca parasite exposure modifies the risk for epilepsy among susceptible individuals.
Aim1: Characterize the epilepsy sub-phenotypes that aggregate within the NS-affected families. We hypothesize that a common electroclinical feature forms a distinct NS-associated familial syndrome.
Aim 2: Determine if distinct genetic polymorphism in the human host is associated with the pathogenesis of NS-and related epilepsies. Whole-exome/genome sequencing will be performed to test whether a genetic variant of major effect size co-segregates with NS and related epilepsies.
Aim 3: Evaluate the relationship between exposure to OV-associated Hu-leiomodin-1 antibody and host susceptibility that jointly confers risk for NS-and related epilepsies. We will test the hypothesis that OV -associated Hu-Leiomodin-1 antibodies in genetically susceptible individuals cause NS- related epilepsies.
