Utilising the Maslach Burnout Inventory to address Mental Health challenges among Health Academics in a Developing African University
In this paper, the authors used the Maslach Burnout Inventory to investigate critical issues of occupational burnout and mental health among health professional academics in a developing university in Africa. The research systematically examined the factors that contribute to these challenges and analysed their significant implications for both individual well-being and academic effectiveness. The applicability of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (M…
Relationship between High Blood Pressure and Microalbuminuria in Children Aged 6–9 Years in a South African Population
Though the association between high blood pressure and microalbuminuria is well established in adults, there is a paucity of information on microalbuminuria in children. This study investigated the relationship between high blood pressure and microalbuminuria in 6-9-year-old children. A cross-sectional study, which included 306 primary school children of age 6-9 years old from urban areas (n = 154) and rural areas (n = 152) of the Eastern Cape Pr…
Association of Hypertension and Obesity with Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Diseases in Children Aged 6–9 Years Old in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are known to begin early in life, but limited data on the relationship of obesity and hypertension with other known CVD risk factors, such as endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic low-grade inflammation is available on children. In this cross-sectional study involving 6-9 years old school children aged from the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa the relationship between obesity/hyperte…
Investigation of Hypogycemic and Hypolipidemic Effects of an Aqueous Extract of Lupinus Albus Legume Seed in Streptozotocin-Induced Type I Diabetic Rats
Background: Lupinus albus (LA) seed is a legume food used traditionally for the treatment of diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of an aqueous extract of LA on lipid and glucose levels in normal and STZ induced Type 1 diabetic rats. Methods: Aqueous extract of LA was prepared and used for animal treatments. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60mg/kg body weight). Effects of LA …
A Comparative Study on the Aphrodisiac Activity of Food Plants Mondia Whitei, Chenopodium Album, Cucurbita Pepo and Sclerocarya Birrea Extracts in Male Wistar Rats
Background: Any substance that increases erectile function, sexual performance and enjoyment is considered an aphrodisiac. The was to compare the effects of food plants Mondia whitei, Chenopodium album, Cucurbita pepo and Sclerocarya birrea extracts 200mg/kg body weight on sexual behavior, sperm parameters and testosterone levels in adult male rats. These are food plants also aphrodisiacs in South Africa, Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa. Mater…
Investigation of the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of Heteromorpha arborescens (Apiaceae)
Heteromorpha arborescens belongs to the family Apiaceae. It is commonly known as the parsley tree. One of its uses in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa is for the treatment of abdominal pains. The therapeutic effects of the methanolic and aqueous root extracts of H. arborescens were investigated at two dose levels respectively on experimental models of pain and inflammation in rodents. The antinociceptive activity was evaluated using the …
