Exploring Effects of Household Air Pollution on Pregnant Mothers and Their Offspring in Africa
In recent decades, air pollution has been the cause of major mortality and morbidity worldwide. WHO attributes about 4.2 million of these to ambient pollution and 3.2 million to household sources. Pregnant women are no exception to those mortalities. Therefore, this review aims to explore and critique existing evidence on the implications of household air pollution in homes among pregnant women. In this review, we adhered to the 2018 PRISMA Scopi…
Relationship between variations in population health disorders in a subarctic region and heliogeophysical factors and oxygen status of surface air under different levels of solar activity
BACKGROUND: It is generally recognized that human health depends on the changes of space weather. However, the cyclic interactions of specific groups of diseases with the main components of solar radiation and its derivatives remain unresolved. AIM: The work aimed to assess the stability of time series of health disorders in the northern population, as well as linear and phase synchronization with heliogeophysical factors and oxygen status depend…
Circannual variations in partial oxygen density depending on solar activity level and climatic zone
BACKGROUND: Some medical weather classifications identify reduced partial oxygen density in the air as a key parameter affecting human well-being. This parameter can be modulated not only by meteorological factors but also by the helio-geophysical environment. It should be noted that synoptic combinations with elevated oxygen content are not considered among the weather types, although several studies have shown that hyperoxia can have adverse ef…
The contribution of weather factors to seasonal variations in oxygen partial density in different climatic zones
Background: Currently, there is growing concern about changes in the oxygen content in the surface air layer. There are weather classifications where the determining meteotropic effect affecting human health is the value of oxygen partial density, but among these types of weather, hyperoxia situations are not considered, although in a number of studies attention has been drawn to the negative impact on human health of high oxygen content in inhal…
Influence of solar radiation components on partial oxygen density in the surface air layer in subarctic and subtropical regions
BACKGROUND: Solar radiation consists of electromagnetic radiation and the solar wind. It becomes nonlinear during solar flares, with increased wave radiation and the emission of large amounts of charged particles. Increased solar radiation intensity alters the Earth’s light and thermal balance and geomagnetic activity, affecting both weather and oxygen status.AIM: To assess the effect of solar radiation components on changes in partial oxygen den…
Recognition of language barriers in comprehending non-communicable disease management among rural elderly people in the Dimamo surveillance area
The study revealed significant misconceptions about diabetes and hypertension, as well as traditional practices like bloodletting, which were perceived to relieve hypertension symptoms. It also identified critical communication barriers, including limited time for health practitioners to explain diagnoses and treatments. The findings emphasize the need for interpreters and culturally sensitive communication strategies to improve health literacy a…
Qualitative Study on the Voices of Adolescents Living with Perinatally Acquired HIV in Selected Clinics in the Limpopo Province of South Africa
The disclosure of HIV status among adolescents living with perinatally acquired HIV (APHIV) has become one of the core challenges in the management of APHIV. Disclosure is a challenge that undermines positive advances and achievements in HIV management. There is limited literature on the voices of APHIV on disclosure of their status. This study aims to explore the current disclosure process and how it affects APHIV. A qualitative exploratory desi…
Reflections on Digital Maternal and Child Health Support for Mothers and Community Health Workers in Rural Areas of Limpopo Province, South Africa
Participants expressed the significant role of digital support apps in maternal and child health, which is impacted by various challenges. Addressing the lack of digital resources could improve access to health instructions for pregnant women and mothers
Overweight Prevalence among Rural Adolescents by Household Head Obesity and Socio-Economic Status in Limpopo, South Africa
Background: Childhood obesity has become the most important and growing public health problem in the world. They add to public health challenges by increasing the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases. However, in spite of its importance, there is limited literature that evaluates the prevalence of obesity among rural adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. We report the first study to present an insight into rural black overweight South African…
Exploring Occupational Health and Safety Standards Compliance in the South African Mining Industry, Limpopo Province, Using Principal Component Analysis
The health and safety of the miners in the South African mining industry are guided by the regulations and standards applied to promote a healthy work environment. The miners must comply with these regulations/standards to protect themselves from potential occupational health and safety risks, accidents, and fatalities. The status of compliance to safety regulations and standards in the mining industry of Limpopo Province has received little atte…
Implementing the Ideal Clinic Program at Selected Primary Healthcare Facilities in South Africa
This study revealed that the introduction and implementation of the IC can have potential benefits to the community and the primary healthcare system. However, it was not introduced and appropriately implemented, which resulted in professional nurses experiencing several challenges. The national department of health needs to strengthen the program's implementation through proper training, consultation, and continuous support of the nurses. Provis…
Provision of Care to the People with HIV
The battle against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic are still raging in South Africa (SA) despite all the preventive strategies implemented via the five-year strategic plan (2011-2015). The intensity of the AIDS pandemic in SA creates additional challenges for the health workers as they have to deal with an increasing number of people who suffer from this disease. Professional nurses ar…
Comprehensive Women Health Services at Beverage-Producing Industries of Limpopo (South Africa)
(1) Background: Women remain highly vulnerable to numerous risks at work, including labor rights violations, violence and harassment, myriad general and reproductive health risks. The availability of the comprehensive services remains the only hope for these women, yet very little is known about their perspective. (2) Aim: To determine the experiences of women regarding the availability of comprehensive women's health services in the industries o…
