A narrative review of the pathophysiology of sepsis in sub-Saharan Africa
Sepsis remains a significant global health threat with a disproportionate burden in low-income countries including those in sub-Saharan Africa where case fatality rates are as high as 30% to 50%. Defined as a severe systemic response to infection, sepsis leads to widespread immune dysregulation and organ dysfunction, including adrenal insufficiency. Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) arises from dysregulation of the hyp…
Roadblocks and resilience
Distinct from quantifying the economic sequelae of tuberculosis (TB) in adults, data are scarce regarding lived experiences of youth and their caregivers seeking and sustaining TB treatment in low income communities. Children ages 4-17 diagnosed with TB and their caregivers were recruited from rural and semi-urban northern Tanzania. Using a grounded theory approach, a qualitative interview guide was developed, informed by exploratory research. Tw…
Decision Analytic Modeling for Global Clinical Trial Planning
Sepsis is a significant cause of mortality among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in sub-Saharan Africa. In the planning period prior to the start of a large multi-country clinical trial studying the efficacy of the immediate empiric addition of anti-tuberculosis therapy to standard-of-care antibiotics for sepsis in people living with HIV, we used decision analysis to assess the costs and potential health outcome impacts of t…
Implementing Innovative Approaches to Improve Health Care Delivery Systems for Integrating Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases Using Tuberculosis and Diabetes as a Model in Tanzania
Background: Many evidence-based health interventions, particularly in low-income settings, have failed to deliver the expected impact. We designed an Adaptive Diseases Control Expert Programme in Tanzania (ADEPT) to address systemic challenges in health care delivery and examined the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of the model using tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) as a prototype. Methods : This was an effectiveness-impl…
A Geospatial Bibliometric Review of the HIV/Aids Epidemic in the Russian Federation
Background: Increasing rates of HIV/AIDS in Eastern Europe and Central Asia contrast global trends, but the scope of HIV/AIDS research originating from RF and countries of the former Soviet Union (FSU) has not been quantified or comparatively examined. Methods: We searched six major scientific databases in Russian and English languages with medical subject heading terms “HIV” or “AIDS” and “Russia” or “Soviet Union” from 1991 to 2016. Each abstra…
Gridlock from diagnosis to treatment of multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Tanzania
Patient-centered strategies bridging communities and the health system are urgently required for optimum MDR-TB control in Tanzania
Gridlock from diagnosis to treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Tanzania
Underutilization of molecular diagnostics in high-risk groups was a function of a lack of front-line healthcare workforce empowerment and training, and a lack of equipment access, which likely contributed to the observed delay in MDR-TB diagnosis in Tanzania
