Pellagra in South Africa from 1897 to 2019
Objective: Pellagra is a nutritional deficiency disease associated with niacin (vitamin B 3 ) deficiency. The history of pellagra is well documented for Europe and the USA, but less is known about the prevalence in sub-Saharan African countries. This study documents the history of pellagra in South Africa, as diagnosed based on dermatological symptoms. Design: Scoping review of information from scientific databases, library archives, other archiv…
Inflammatory activity and academic performance in university students
This study aimed to assess inflammatory levels in first year university students and to determine whether associations exist between pro-inflammatory biomarker levels and academic performance. Inflammatory activity was assessed by urinary neopterin-to-creatinine ratios in 180 students attending a large South African university (females = 69.4%; mean age = 20.16 years, SD = 2.76 years) and by plasma interleukin-6, neopterin and neopterin-to-creati…
A Comparison of Quality of Life in Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Decreased quality of life of end-stage renal disease is further compromised by renal function replacement treatments such as haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD). Poor quality of life negatively affects treatment outcome. This study compared quality of life between HD and PD patients. Quality of life in 15 HD and 15 PD patients at a South African renal unit was compared using the SF-36 short form. There was no significant difference be…
