Enhancing Doctoral Supervision Practices in Africa: Reflection on the CARTA Approach - Manderson, Lenore; Göran Bondjers; Chimaraoke Izugbara; Cole, Donald C; Omar Egesah; Alex Ezeh; Sharon Fonn (Journal of Higher Education in Africa / Revue de l'enseignement supérieur en Afrique, 2017)
High quality research supervision is crucial for PhD training, yet it continues to pose challenges globally with important contextual factors impacting the quality of supervision. This article reports on responses to these challenges by a multi-institutional sub-Saharan Africa initiative (CARTA) at institutional, faculty and PhD fellow levels. The article describes the pedagogical approaches and structural mechanisms used to enhance supervision among supervisors of CARTA fellows. These include residential training for supervisors, and supervision contracts between primary supervisors and PhD fellows. The authors reflect on the processes and experiences of improving PhD supervision, and suggest research questions that CARTA and other training programmes could pursue in relation to PhD supervision in Africa and other lower- and middle-income countries. La supervision de recherches de haute qualité est cruciale pour la formation en doctorat, mais elle demeure un problème au niveau mondial, avec des facteurs contextuels importants qui impactent la qualité de la supervision. Cet article rend compte de réponses à ces défis par une initiative multi-institutionnelle pour l’Afrique subsaharienne (CARTA) aux niveaux institutionnel, professoral et des doctorants. Il décrit les approches pédagogiques et les mécanismes structurels que nous avons utilisés pour améliorer la supervision de boursiers à travers le programme CARTA. Ceux-ci incluent la formation résidentielle des superviseurs et les contrats de supervision entre superviseurs principaux et doctorants. Les auteurs réfléchissent au processus et aux expériences d’amélioration de la supervision de doctorants et suggérons des questions de recherche que CARTA et d’autres programmes de formation pourraient approfondir dans la supervision de doctorants en Afrique et dans d’autres pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire.

{Estimating treatment coverage for people with substance use disorders: an analysis of data from the World Mental Health Surveys} - Degenhardt, L.; Glantz, M.; Evans-Lacko, S.; Sadikova, E.; Sampson, N.; Thornicroft, G.; Aguilar-Gaxiola, S.; Al-Hamzawi, A.; Alonso, J.; Helena Andrade, L.; Bruffaerts, R.; Bunting, B.; et al. (World Psychiatry, 2017)
© 2017 World Psychiatric Association Substance use is a major cause of disability globally. This has been recognized in the recent United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in which treatment coverage for substance use disorders is identified as one of the indicators. There have been no estimates of this treatment coverage cross-nationally, making it difficult to know what is the baseline for that SDG target. Here we report data from the World Health Organization (WHO)'s World Mental Health Surveys (WMHS), based on representative community household surveys in 26 countries. We assessed the 12-month prevalence of substance use disorders (alcohol or drug abuse/dependence); the proportion of people with these disorders who were aware that they needed treatment and who wished to receive care; the proportion of those seeking care who received it; and the proportion of such treatment that met minimal standards for treatment quality (“minimally adequate treatment”). Among the 70,880 participants, 2.6{%} met 12-month criteria for substance use disorders; the prevalence was higher in upper-middle income (3.3{%}) than in high-income (2.6{%}) and low/lower-middle income (2.0{%}) countries. Overall, 39.1{%} of those with 12-month substance use disorders recognized a treatment need; this recognition was more common in high-income (43.1{%}) than in upper-middle (35.6{%}) and low/lower-middle income (31.5{%}) countries. Among those who recognized treatment need, 61.3{%} made at least one visit to a service provider, and 29.5{%} of the latter received minimally adequate treatment exposure (35.3{%} in high, 20.3{%} in upper-middle, and 8.6{%} in low/lower-middle income countries). Overall, only 7.1{%} of those with past-year substance use disorders received minimally adequate treatment: 10.3{%} in high income, 4.3{%} in upper-middle income and 1.0{%} in low/lower-middle income countries. These data suggest that only a small minority of people with substance use disorders receive even minimally adequate treatment. At least three barriers are involved: awareness/perceived treatment need, accessing treatment once a need is recognized, and compliance (on the part of both provider and client) to obtain adequate treatment. Various factors are likely to be involved in each of these three barriers, all of which need to be addressed to improve treatment coverage of substance use disorders. These data provide a baseline for the global monitoring of progress of treatment coverage for these disorders as an indicator within the SDGs.

Background: Gastroschisis is an anterior abdominal wall defect occurring in up to 4 babies per 10,000 live births. Though the anomaly is rarely associated with other disorders, it poses serious pathophysiological challenges that negatively affect outcome. Review of the management of gastroschisis at Moi Teaching & Referral Hospital (MTRH) from 2013-2016 was done to determine the outcome. Materials and Methods: A four year (2013-2016) retrospective review of gastroschisis management at MTRH was undertaken. Theatre records were used to track all files of babies admitted and operated on. The primary outcome of data analysis was survival. Secondary outcomes analyzed were age at admission, maternal age, birth order, associated anomalies and complications. Results: Records that were available for analysis were 107. Males were 58 (54%). Male to female ratio was 1.1:1. Mean age at admission was 1.35 ± 0.06 days. Weight ranged from 1250-3800 gm with a mean of 2330 gms. Majority were first born. Mean maternal age was 21.25 ± 3.62 years. Complex gastroschisis occurred in 12 (11%). Overall survival was 43%. However, of those who reached the stage of definitive treatment of containment (either primary closure or staged silo placement), had 48% survival rate. Survival rate was highest in the group who weighed 2500 gms and above. Poor outcomes were noted in the premature and low birth weight neonates, and those with complications. Sepsis was the leading cause of mortality. Length of hospital stay was an average of 24 days for the survivors. Conclusions & Recommendations: Prematurity, low birth weight, and complications negatively influenced survival. Improving obstetric care, establishment of paediatric surgical centres and neonatal support services are key to turning around the survival of neonates with this severe surgical anomaly.

Copyright © Cambridge University Press 2017. Background Traumatic events are common globally; however, comprehensive population-based cross-national data on the epidemiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the paradigmatic trauma-related mental disorder, are lacking. Methods Data were analyzed from 26 population surveys in the World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys. A total of 71 083 respondents ages 18+ participated. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview assessed exposure to traumatic events as well as 30-day, 12-month, and lifetime PTSD. Respondents were also assessed for treatment in the 12 months preceding the survey. Age of onset distributions were examined by country income level. Associations of PTSD were examined with country income, world region, and respondent demographics. Results The cross-national lifetime prevalence of PTSD was 3.9{%} in the total sample and 5.6{%} among the trauma exposed. Half of respondents with PTSD reported persistent symptoms. Treatment seeking in high-income countries (53.5{%}) was roughly double that in low-lower middle income (22.8{%}) and upper-middle income (28.7{%}) countries. Social disadvantage, including younger age, female sex, being unmarried, being less educated, having lower household income, and being unemployed, was associated with increased risk of lifetime PTSD among the trauma exposed. Conclusions PTSD is prevalent cross-nationally, with half of all global cases being persistent. Only half of those with severe PTSD report receiving any treatment and only a minority receive specialty mental health care. Striking disparities in PTSD treatment exist by country income level. Increasing access to effective treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries, remains critical for reducing the population burden of PTSD.

Prevalence of Fasciolosis in Cattle, Sheep, and Goats Slaughtered in Slaughter Slabs in Trans-Nzoia West, Kenya. and Knowledge of Livestock Handlers - Musotsi, Protus Y; Otieno, Christina A; Njoroge, Simon M (Journal of Biology, Agriculture and Healthcare, 2017)
Background: Fasciolosis is known globally to be an important helminthic disease of ruminants caused by liver fluke species of the genus Fasciola, and it is one of the most neglected tropical zoonotic diseases that can lead to human infection. It has the widest geographic spread of any emerging zoonotic disease, and it occurs in many countries of the world. Objectives: The study aimed at determining the prevalence of fasciolosis in ruminants slaughtered in Trans-Nzoia West. Specific objectives were to establish the trend of fasciolosis in ruminants, ascertain the relationship between fasciolosis prevalence and rainfall patterns and assess the knowledge of meat sellers and farmers about fasciolosis. Methodology: A 5-year secondary data retrospective study was carried out in Trans-Nzoia West, Trans-Nzoia County. The study population consisted of ruminants slaughtered, meat sellers and livestock farmers.Results: A total of 104,221 cattle, sheep and goats were slaughtered in the five-year period in which 6,098 (5.85%) were infested with fasciolosis with a prevalence of 6.52%, 6.08% and 4.1 0% in cattle, sheep, and goats respectively. Most meat sellers (72.2%) were able to identify fasciolosis in infested livers, 88.9% reported liver flukes infestation resulted in the loss of income while 58.3% were not aware of nutrition depletion associated with fasciolosis. Of the farmers interviewed, 52.9% grazed in swampy areas, 66.7% dewormed after 3 months, 78.4% had heard about fasciolosis and 80.0% did not know the cause of fasciolosis. The majority (95.0%) were not aware of the snail species spreading liver flukes while 77.5% did not know that fasciolosis was a zoonotic disease.Conclusion: Fasciolosis was prevalent in the area and caused great economic loss to the meat sellers. Most farmers were not aware of its cause and zoonotic nature. Recommendations: Fasciolosis control should be approached from a multidisciplinary angle and farmers should be educated on it and its zoonotic nature.
