Abstract:

Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) success has led people to live longer with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) and thus be exposed to increasing risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Hypertension (HTN), the biggest contributor to CVD burden, is a growing concern among PLWH. The current report describes the prevalence and predictors of HTN among PLWH in care in Cameroon. Methods This cross-sectional study included all PLWH aged 20 years and above who received care between 2016 and 2019 at one of the three Central Africa International Epidemiology Databases to Evaluate AIDS (CA-IeDEA) sites in Cameroon (Ba

Abstract:

&nbsp; Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is an important neglected zoonosis in Cameroon, where many communities depend on their livestock for livelihood and the incidence of human TB and TB-HIV/AIDS co-infection are high and increasing annually. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of bovine TB in cattle in the highlands of Cameroon. The magnitude and trend of detecting TB lesions in slaughtered cattle (1994 to 2010) and tuberculin skin tests (TST) in 2853 cattle (84 herds) of 39 livestock rearing communities were analysed. Of 129 165 slaughtered cattle inspected, 599 (0.46%; 95% CI

Abstract:

Background: The African continent accounts for over 70% of people infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The HIV sero-prevalence rate in Africa is estimated at 4.3%. In developed countries, such as France, pneumocystis is indicative of AIDS in 30% of patients; however, in Africa, pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is the most-documented opportunistic infection (OI) and the leading cause of death in HIV-infected patients. In 2016, Cameroon had 32,000 new cases of OI and 29,000 deaths as a result of these infections. However, there is little existing data on the epidemiological profile of OI

Abstract:

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the anopheles mosquito that kills at least one million people in Sub-Saharan Africa every year, leading to human suffering and enormous economic loses. This paper examines the complex web of cultural, poor socio-economic conditions and environmental factors for the prevalence of malaria in Bali Nyonga. The study outlines and assesses the multiple notions of malaria causation with dirty environment (80.76%) and the mosquito (76.92%) as the leading causes. Other causes are poor hygiene (46.15%), impure sources of portable water (23.08%), malnutrition (1

Abstract:

Abstract Highly active antiretroviral therapy has revolutionized the battle against human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). From its current global rollout, HIV/AIDS morbidity and mortality has been greatly reduced, yet there exists substantial interest in the development of new therapies to further mitigate the HIV/AIDS health burden and to inhibit any fallout from the development of antiretroviral drug resistance. One potential intervention is the human pegivirus (HPgV). HPgV is not known to cause disease, and most remarkably it is shown to delay the prog

Thesis (MSc)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: While research and population surveys in HIV/AIDS are well established in developed countries, Sub-Saharan Africa is still experiencing scarce HIV/AIDS information. Hence it depends on results obtained from models. Due to this dependence, it is important to understand the strengths and limitations of these models very well. In this study, a simple mathematical model is formulated and then extended to incorporate various features such as stages of HIV development, time delay in AIDS death occurrence, and risk groups. Th

Abstract:

The first two official AIDS cases were diagnosed in South Africa in 1982. During the same period of the 1980s, the black/African population was experiencing an accelerated fertility decline, following a period of accelerated mortality decline. Demographers invoked the demographic transition theory to explain the observed mortality and fertility decline. According to the demographic transition theory, mortality and fertility rates would continue declining to low, post transitional levels with increasing modernization. The relatively higher prevalence of HIV/AIDS estimated among black/African So

Abstract:

This chapter highlights the current state of HIV/AIDS care that fits Lewis Thomas’s 1971 definition of a “halfway technology.” It explains halfway technology as an intermediate stage between “nontechnology” and as a supportive medical care that does little to affect the course of disease, while “high” or “transformative technology” depends on advances in basic sciences. It also clarifies that transformative technology included immunization, chemotherapy, and antibiotics, while halfway technologies included dialysis, organ transplants, and mechanical ventilation. The chapter focuses on AIDS, which is as much a concern in the twenty-first century as it was forty years ago. It elaborates how the AIDS epidemic is ravaging African countries, such as South Africa and Nigeria; spreading in parts of Asia, such as Thailand and the Philippines; in Eastern Europe in countries like Russia and Ukraine; and in Caribbean and Central American countries.

Abstract:

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced by about 30% in developed countries the incidence of some cardiovascular complications observed in the pre-ART period (dilated cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, and cardiac involvement by AIDS-associated malignancies). However, the incidence of some cardiovascular complications (endocarditis and pulmonary hypertension) was not significantly changed after the introduction of ART. In developing countries, where the availability of ART is scanty and the pathogenetic impact of nutritional factors is significant, an increase was observed of about 35% in the prevalence of cardiomyopathy and pericardial effusion, with a related high mortality rate for congestive heart failure. The increased incidence of ART-associated lipodystrophy in developed countries (range 18–83%) has changed the landscape of cardiovascular complications in HIV disease, with an apparently increased incidence of coronary artery disease in patients receiving protease inhibitor-based ART because of a process of accelerated atherosclerosis. This new clinical landscape led to a greater awareness by cardiologists in taking decisions regarding the use of antiretrovirals for a careful stratification of the cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract:

Despite the advances of medicine, many illnesses continue to evade cure. Chronic, progressive, incurable illness is a major cause of disability, distress, suffering, and, ultimately, death. This is true for many causes of cancer, AIDS, and other disorders of vital organs. Such progressive, chronic diseases are most common in late adulthood and old age, but they occur at all ages. Disease-modifying treatments and the relief of suffering through symptom management, care planning, and family support are central to care, and these four domains are core goals of palliative care. This chapter offers an overview of how epidemiological studies may be used to clarify the population/s of people who may benefit from palliative care, to assist the planning for how services may meet the needs of people towards the end of life. Symptoms associated with a series of common, progressive, chronic illnesses will be discussed, thereby further facilitating planning for individual patients and for services.

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the various definitions applied to pain including chronic, nociceptive, neuropathic, and breakthrough. It gives a broad overview of the epidemiology of pain including its prevalence of greater than 50% in those patients with advanced disease and its under-treatment. The second part of the chapter explains how best to characterize the pain complaint. It acknowledges the importance of a thorough history, including pain characteristics such as severity and associated features. Several pain measurement scales, which can be used both in clinical practice and research, are presented. Clinical examination and imaging are also discussed as aids to diagnosis and management of pain. It concludes with how to assess pain in the context of a palliative plan of care, stressing the need to consider the many challenges that patients face with advancing disease and how the management of pain is affected by other symptoms patients may have.
