Law Versus What People Want
Research on strokes using genetics and neurobiobanking has highlighted some ethical, legal and social implications. Blood donation, brain donation, blood storage, re-use and sample sharing, data sharing, return of individual results, disclosure of incidental findings, pattern and causes of preference for informed consent, governance and regulation, and biorights are some of the legal problems presented. This study, therefore, explores this aspect…
Geo-behavioural predictors of diagnosed hypertension in Igbo Ora Area, Oyo State, Nigeria
Diagnosed hypertension stands out as a prominent global cause of mortality, prompting recent efforts to understand not only treatment options but also determinants across diverse age and occupational groups. However, the literature on the impact of environmental factors on diagnosed hypertension is limited, especially in rural areas with restricted access to health infrastructure. Geographical determinants research has often focused on spatial va…
Course and characteristics of depression over a 12-month period among Ghanaians living with HIV
Individuals with HIV are predisposed to depression but there is limited data on its dynamics and correlates. We aimed to assess course and characteristics of depression among Ghanaian HIV patients over a 12-month period. We interrogated a longitudinal study dataset of patients at a tertiary hospital and assessed depression at month 0 and 12 using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Association between clinical, sociodemographic factors an…
Human Rights Implications of Stroke Biobanking and Genomics Research in Sub-Saharan Africa
Stroke is a major cause of death in Sub-Saharan Africa ( ssa ) and genetic factors appear to play a part in its pathogenesis. This led to the development of stroke biobanking and genomics research in ssa . Existing stroke studies have focused on causes, incidence rates, fatalities and effects. However, scant attention has been paid to the legal issues about stroke biobanking and genomics research in the sub-region. Therefore, this article examine…
Racial Differences in Mechanical Thrombectomy Utilization for Ischemic Stroke in the United States
We found a significant disparity in MT utilization for AA compared with NHW and Hispanics. More work is needed to understand the drivers of this racial disparity in stroke treatment
Unraveling the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Neurobiobanking and Stroke Genomic Research in Africa
The ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of emerging neurobiobanks and data resources are unclear in an African scientific landscape with unique cultural, linguistic, and belief systems. The overarching goal of the African Neurobiobank for Precision Stroke Medicine--ELSI Project is to identify, examine, and develop novel approaches to address ELSI issues of biobanking and stroke genomic research in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To accomplis…

Developing consensus measures for global programs
BACKGROUND: The imperative to improve global health has prompted transnational research partnerships to investigate common health issues on a larger scale. The Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases (GACD) is an alliance of national research funding agencies. To enhance research funded by GACD members, this study aimed to standardise data collection methods across the 15 GACD hypertension research teams and evaluate the uptake of these standardised…
Pretesting Qualitative Data Collection Procedures to Facilitate Methodological Adherence and Team Building in Nigeria
Qualitative methods are becoming widely used and increasingly accepted in biomedical research involving teams formed by experts from developing and developed practice environments. Resources are rare in offering guidance on how to surmount challenges of team integration and resolution of complicated logistical issues in a global setting. In this article we present a critical reflection of lessons learned and necessary steps taken to achieve metho…
