Modernizing mageu fermentation through the use of defined Lactobacillaceae starter cultures with potential functional applications
Mageu is a non-alcoholic fermented cereal beverage widely consumed in Southern Africa. It is traditionally produced via spontaneous fermentation using various inocula, but is increasingly manufactured using defined starter cultures to improve product consistency, safety, and shelf life. As part of ongoing efforts to modernize traditional fermented foods while retaining their characteristic qualities, this study evaluated the use of selected Lacto…
Biomedical technologies in context
Novel point-of-care tools tailored to contextual needs are critical for improving sexually transmitted infection (STI) management. The genital inflammation test (GIFT) is a point-of-care test under development to detect genital inflammation. A potential use of GIFT is as a screening tool to identify asymptomatic women who may have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or bacterial vaginosis (BV), followed by confirmatory STI- testing if GIFT-pos…
The not talking is actually what kills you’– young South African women’s communication barriers about sexual health
Conversations about sex and sexual health are often stigmatised and shaped by socio-cultural influences. For young women, lack of adequate communication can influence access to information, knowledge and behaviour and therefore increase vulnerability to negative outcomes such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended pregnancy. This qualitative study investigated the barriers young women face when seeking dialogue about sex, their …
