{Associations between lifetime potentially traumatic events and chronic physical conditions in the South African Stress and Health Survey: A cross-sectional study} - Atwoli, L.; Platt, J.M.; Basu, A.; Williams, D.R.; Stein, D. J.; Koenen, K.C. (BMC Psychiatry, 2016)
© 2016 The Author(s).Background: This study examined the association between the type, and cumulative number of lifetime potentially traumatic events (PTEs), and chronic physical conditions, in a South African sample. PTE exposures have been associated with an increased risk for a wide range of chronic physical conditions, but it is unclear whether psychiatric disorders mediate this association. Given the established differences in trauma occurrence, and the epidemiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in South Africa relative to other countries, examining associations between PTEs and chronic physical conditions, particularly while accounting for psychiatric comorbidity is important. Methods: Data were drawn from the South African Stress and Health Study, a cross-sectional population-representative study of psychological and physical health of South African adults. Twenty-seven PTEs, based on the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview Version 3.0, DSM-IV PTSD module were grouped into seven PTE types (war events, physical violence, sexual violence, accidents, unexpected death of a loved one, network events, and witnessing PTEs). Five clusters of physical conditions (cardiovascular, arthritis, respiratory, chronic pain, and other health conditions) were examined. Logistic regressions assessed the odds of reporting a physical condition in relation to type and cumulative number of PTEs. Cochran-Armitage test for trend was used to examine dose-response effect of cumulative PTEs on physical conditions. Results: After adjusting for sociodemographic variables and psychiatric disorders, respondents with any PTE had increased odds of all assessed physical conditions, ranging between 1.48 (95 {%} CI: 1.06-2.07) for arthritis and 2.07 (95 {%} CI: 1.57-2.73) for respiratory conditions, compared to those without PTE exposure. Sexual violence, physical violence, unexpected death of a loved one, and network PTEs significantly increased the odds of all or nearly all the physical conditions assessed. There was a dose-response relationship between number of PTEs and increased odds of all physical conditions. Conclusions: Results from this study, the first in an African general population, are consistent with other population-based studies; PTEs confer a broad-spectrum risk for chronic physical conditions, independent of psychiatric disorders. These risks increase with each cumulative PTE exposure. Clinically, comprehensive evaluations for risk of mental and physical health morbidities should be considered among PTE survivors.

{A systematic compilation of children and youth’s reported reasons for street involvement is lacking. Without empirical data on these reasons, the policies developed or implemented to mitigate street involvement are not responsive to the needs of these children and youth.To systematically analyze the self-reported reasons why children and youth around the world become street-involved and to analyze the available data by level of human development, geographic region, and sex.Electronic searches of Scopus, PsychINFO, EMBASE, POPLINE, PubMed, ERIC, and the Social Sciences Citation Index were conducted from January 1, 1990, to the third week of July 2013. We searched the peer-reviewed literature for studies that reported quantitative reasons for street involvement. The following broad search strategy was used to search the databases: “street children” OR “street youth” OR “homeless youth” OR “homeless children” OR “runaway children” OR “runaway youth” or “homeless persons.”Studies were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: (1) participants were 24 years of age or younger, (2) participants met our definition of street-connected children and youth, and (3) the quantitative reasons for street involvement were reported. We reviewed 318 full texts and identified 49 eligible studies.Data were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. We fit logistic mixed-effects models to estimate the pooled prevalence of each reason and to estimate subgroup pooled prevalence by development level or geographic region. The meta-analysis was conducted from February to August 2015.We created the following categories based on the reported reasons in the literature: poverty, abuse, family conflict, delinquency, psychosocial health, and other.In total, there were 13 559 participants from 24 countries, of which 21 represented developing countries. The most commonly reported reason for street involvement was poverty, with a pooled-prevalence estimate of 39% (95% CI, 29%-51%). Forty-seven studies included in this review reported family conflict as the reason for street involvement, with a pooled prevalence of 32% (95% CI, 26%-39%). Abuse was equally reported in developing and developed countries as the reason for street involvement, with a pooled prevalence of 26% (95% CI, 18%-35%). Delinquency was the least frequently cited reason overall, with a pooled prevalence of 10% (95% CI, 5%-20%).The street-connected children and youth who provided reasons for their street involvement infrequently identified delinquent behaviors for their circumstances and highlighted the role of poverty as a driving factor. They require support and protection, and governments globally are called on to reduce the socioeconomic inequities that cause children and youth to turn to the streets in the first place, in all regions of the world.}

© 2016 Elsevier LtdThe burden of HIV/AIDS and other transmissible diseases is higher in prison and jail settings than in the non-incarcerated communities that surround them. In this comprehensive review, we discuss available literature on the topic of clinical management of people infected with HIV, hepatitis B and C viruses, and tuberculosis in incarcerated settings in addition to co-occurrence of one or more of these infections. Methods such as screening practices and provision of treatment during detainment periods are reviewed to identify the effect of community-based treatment when returning inmates into the general population. Where data are available, we describe differences in the provision of medical care in the prison and jail settings of low-income and middle-income countries compared with high-income countries. Structural barriers impede the optimal delivery of clinical care for prisoners, and substance use, mental illness, and infectious disease further complicate the delivery of care. For prison health care to reach the standards of community-based health care, political will and financial investment are required from governmental, medical, and humanitarian organisations worldwide. In this review, we highlight challenges, gaps in knowledge, and priorities for future research to improve health-care in institutions for prisoners.

AbstractStreet-connected youth in Kenya are a population potentially at risk of HIV transmission, yet little is known about their perceptions and experiences of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), despite their living in an HIV endemic region. We sought to elucidate the language and sociocultural factors rooted in street life that impact on street-connected young people’s knowledge of and perceptions about the prevention and transmission of STIs, and their diagnosis and treatment, using qualitative methods in western Kenya. We conducted a total of 25 in-depth interviews and 5 focus-group discussions with 65 participants aged 11–24 years in Eldoret, Kenya. Thematic analysis was conducted and data were coded according to themes and patterns emergent until saturation was reached. In general, street-connected young people knew of STIs and some of the common symptoms associated with these infections. However, there were many misconceptions regarding transmission and prevention. Gender inequities were prominent, as the majority of men described women as individuals who spread STIs due to unhygienic practices, urination and multiple partners. Due to misconceptions, gender inequity and lack of access to youth-friendly healthcare there is an urgent need for community-based organisations and healthcare facilities to introduce or augment their adolescent sexual and reproductive health programmes for vulnerable young people.

Background: An inventory of the medicinal plants used by herbalists to treat various ailments in Tindiret area of Nandi County, Kenya was conducted by a team comprising of medical researchers and botanists with a view to preserve indigenous ethnobotanical knowledge and potential research and development of new drugs. Materials and Methods: Data was collected from practicing herbalists through semi-structured interviews, group discussions and observations. The types of medical conditions treated, treatment methods as well as the plants used were recorded. Results and Conclusion: A total of 50 medicinal plants belonging to 28 families used for the treatment of 32 medical conditions were recorded. The disease conditions which were treated by the highest number of plants were abdominal/colic pains with 15 different plants recorded (13%), respiratory disorders 15(13%) and infertility14 (12%). The most widely used medicinal plants were Vernonia amygdalina 7(7%), Toddalia asiatica 6(6%), Aloe kedongensis 5(5%) and Zanthoxylum gilletii 5(5%); whereas the families with the highest number of plant usage were Fabaceae 8(14%), Lamiaceae 4(8%) and Solanaceae 4(8%) plants respectively. The study documents important ethno-medical knowledge on the plants used by herbalists in Tindiret sub-county.

Intracellular accumulation of Praziquantel in T lymphoblastoid cell lines, CEM (parental) and CEMvbl(P-gp-overexpressing) - Kigen, Gabriel; Edwards, Geoffrey (BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2016)
Background: Praziquantel (PZQ) is an antihelminthic drug whose P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate specificity has not been conclusively characterized. We investigated its specificity by comparing its in vitro intracellular accumulation in CEM (parental), and CEMvbl cells which over express P-gp, a drug efflux transporter. Saquinavir (SQV), a known substrate of efflux transporters was used as control.Methods: A reversed phase liquid chromatography method was developed to simultaneously quantify PZQ and SQV in cell culture media involving involved a liquid - liquid extraction followed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography using a Hypurity C18 column and ultraviolet detection set at a wavelength of 215 nm. The mobile phase consisted of ammonium formate, acetonitrile and methanol (57:38:5 v/v). Separation was facilitated via isocratic elution at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min, with clozapine (CLZ) as internal standard. This was validated over the concentration range of 1.6 to 25.6 μM for all analytes. Intracellular accumulation of SQV in CEMvbl was significantly lower compared to that in CEM cells (0.1 ± 0.031 versus 0.52 ± 0.046, p = 0.03 [p <0.05]).Results: Accumulation of PZQ in both cell lines cells were similar (0.05 ± 0.005 versus 0.04 ± 0.009, p = 0.4) suggesting that it is not a substrate of P-gp in CEM cells. In presence tariquidar, a known inhibitor of P-gp, the intracellular accumulation of SQV in CEMvbl cells increased (0.52 ± 0.068 versus 0.61 ± 0.102, p = 0.34 in CEM cells and 0.09 ± 0.015 versus 0.56 ± 0.089, p = 0.029 [p < 0.05] in CEMvbl cells). PZQ did not significantly affect the accumulation of SQV in either CEM (0.52 ± 0.068 versus 0.54 ± 0.061, p = 0.77), or in CEMvbl cells (0.09 ± 0.015 versus 0.1 ± 0.031, p = 0.89) cells compared to tariquidar, implying that PZQ is not an inhibitor of P-gp in CEMvbl cells.

Modeling relationship between organic carbon partition coefficient and pesticides solubility of pesticides used along the shore of lake Naivasha, Kenya - Njoroge, Simon Mburu; Munyao, Thomas Mutuku; Osano, Odipo (American Journal of Environmental Engineering, 2016)
Pesticides have many different properties that affect their behaviour in the environment. Pesticide’s solubility in water has a great impact on leaching potential and environmental fate. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between organic carbon based partition coefficient (koc) and pesticides solubility (S) of pesticides used along the shore of Lake Naivasha using regression analysis. The properties (S, and soil/water equilibrium partition coefficient (kd)) of pesticides selected from an inventory of pesticides used in farms around Lake Naivasha, were determined from the manufacturers’ materials safety data sheets. The organic carbon (foc) of the soil from the study area was then determined using the loss-on-ignition (LOI) method and used to calculate koc. The results showed that the soils around Lake Naivasha had a mean organic carbon (foc) content of 1.770% and a regression equation for koc and S for the area to be log koc = -0.368logS + 3.256. It was concluded that this relationship can be used to estimate the organic carbon based partition coefficient (koc) of a pesticide where S is available, and the results compared with values determined experimentally and from other models.

NO2 Gas Sensing Mechanism of ZnO Thin-Film Transducers: Physical Experiment and Theoretical Correlation Study - Athanasios Tamvakos, Kiprono Korir, Dimitrios Tamvakos, Davide Calestani, Giancarlo Cicero, Daniele Pullini (ACS Sensors, 2016)
In this work, ZnO thin films were investigated to sense NO2, a gas exhausted by the most common combustion systems polluting the environment. To this end, ZnO thin films were grown by RF sputtering on properly designed and patterned substrates to allow the measurement of the electrical response of the material when exposed to different concentrations of the gas. X-ray diffraction was carried out to correlate the material’s electrical response to the morphological and microstructural features of the sensing materials. Electrical conductivity measurements showed that the transducer fabricated in this work exhibits the optimal performance when heated at 200 °C, and the detection of 0.1 ppm concentration of NO2 was possible. Ab initio modeling allowed the understanding of the sensing mechanism driven by the competitive adsorption of NO2 and atmospheric oxygen mediated by heat. The combined theoretical and experimental study here reported provides insights into the sensing mechanism which will aid the optimization of ZnO transducer design for the quantitative measurement of NO2 exhausted by combustion systems which will be used, ultimately, for the optimized adjustment of combustion resulting into a reduced pollutants and greenhouse gases emission.
