Untreated, uncontrolled and below-target hypertension in southern Africa
INTRODUCTION: Hypertension programmes have expanded substantially in low-income and middle-income countries, yet treatment and control rates remain insufficient. Programme scale-up may lead to suboptimal health outcomes and resource allocation if diagnostic accuracy, monitoring and treatment protocol adherence are inadequate. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of untreated, uncontrolled and below-target hypertension in rural Lesotho, and…
Ethical hacking to identify potential vulnerabilities in federal pulse oximeter policy
Pulse oximeters are devices which measure the approximate level of oxygen in the blood. These devices have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but there is substantial research evidence that these devices do not perform as well for people with dark skin tones. The agency has issued recommendations that aim to mitigate the risk of skin tone bias, but with the market for pulse oximeters estimated at more than $2 b…
Mental health and substance use problems among adolescents in Lesotho
Adolescence is a developmental window in which mental health symptomatology and other health behaviors can set lifelong trajectories. Yet, adolescent development research in rural areas of low-resource communities is severely lacking. Conceptualized in the Adolescent Well-Being Framework, where diet and activity form a core domain of well-being, we examined two modifiable risk behaviors (sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and physical activity)…
Awareness, treatment, and control among adults living with arterial hypertension or diabetes mellitus in two rural districts in Lesotho
In Lesotho, the hypertension and diabetes care cascades are unknown. We measured awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and diabetes among adults ≥18 years and identified factors associated with each step of the cascade, based on data from a population-based, cross-sectional survey in 120 randomly sampled clusters in the districts of Butha-Buthe and Mokhotlong from 1 st November 2021 to 31 st August 2022. We used multivariable logistic…
Prevalence of Mental Health and Substance use Problems and Awareness of Need for Services in Lesotho
We conducted a household survey among 6061 adults in Lesotho to (1) assess the prevalence of moderate/severe mental health (MH) and substance use (SU) problems (2) describe the MH and SU service cascades, and (3) assess predictors of MH and SU problem awareness (i.e., awareness of having a MH/SU problem that requires treatment). Moderate/severe MH or SU problems was reported between 0.7% for anxiety in the past 2 weeks to 36.4% for alcohol use in…
Randomized Experiments to Reduce Overuse of Health Care
OBJECTIVE: Health care overuse is pervasive in countries with advanced health care delivery systems. We hypothesize that effective interventions to reduce low-value care that targets patients or clinicians are mediated by psychological and cognitive processes that change behaviors and that interventions targeting these processes are varied. Thus, we performed a scoping review of experimental studies of interventions, including the interventions' …
Prevalence of Third-party Tracking on Medical Journal Websites

Spending by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Before and After Confirmation of Benefit for Drugs Granted US Food and Drug Administration Accelerated Approval, 2012 to 2017
The findings of this cross-sectional study indicate that most of the drugs granted FDA accelerated approval for original indications from 2012 to 2017 lacked confirmatory trials evaluating clinical outcomes to support conversion to standard approval. Automatic coverage mandates produced substantial CMS spending for drugs with unproven clinical benefits
Assessment of patients’ satisfaction through dietary services in government and private hospitals in India
Consumer satisfaction is a keyfeaturein delineating the quality of offered services.Similarly, in hospitals, satisfaction of patientswith the dietary services is considered as one of theparameters of estimation of quality of hospitals’ food services. Food provided in the hospital must be nutritious and must qualify the clinical needs of patients along with fulfilling their dietary expectations. A satisfied patients responds to the clinical treatm…
Preference and grading by operating surgeons for maxillectomies in mucormycosis cases
Aim: The purpose of the present research was to assess the preference as well as grading of maxillectomies in the Mucormycosis cases by operating surgeons. Methodology: An observational study conducted among 43 cases of confirmed CAM which included 35 males and 8 females, with an average age of 56 years. The surgical approach adopted in our cases included endoscopic surgical debridement with Denker’s approach including mandatory pterygopalatine a…
Community-based care models for arterial hypertension management in non-pregnant adults in sub-Saharan Africa
The overall quality of available evidence on community-based aHT care is low. Published models of care are very heterogeneous and available evidence is insufficient to recommend or refute further scale up in sub-Sahara Africa. We propose that future projects and studies implementing and assessing community-based models for aHT care are designed and described according to six building blocks: providers, target groups, components, location, time of…

Why Śrīdhara Svāmī? The Makings of a Successful Sanskrit Commentary
Śrīdhara Svāmī’s commentary on the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, called Bhāvārtha-dīpikā and composed sometime between the mid-fourteenth to the mid-fifteenth centuries, has exerted extraordinary influence on later Bhāgavata commentaries, and indeed, on Vaiṣṇava traditions more generally. This article raises a straightforward question: “Why Śrīdhara?” Focusing on the Caitanya Vaiṣṇava tradition, particularly Jīva Gosvāmī, for whom Śrīdhara is foundational, w…

Crowdsourcing cyber security
Individuals increasingly rely upon the internet for basic economic interaction. Current cyber security mechanisms are unable to stop adversaries and hackers from gaining access to sensitive information stored on government, business, and public computers. Experts propose implementing attribution and audit frameworks in cyberspace to deter, prevent, and prosecute cyber criminals and attackers. However, this method faces significant policy and reso…
The Chaitanya Vaishnava Vedanta of Jiva Gosvami
The Chaitanya Vaishnava tradition is famous for its depth of devotion to Krishna, the blue-hued Deity. Chaitanya Vaishnavas are known for having refined the practice and aesthetics of devotion into a sophisticated science. This imposing devotional edifice was constructed upon a solid foundation of philosophical argument and understanding. In this book, Ravi Gupta sheds new light on the contribution of Chaitanya Vaishnavism to the realm of Indian …
