Evaluation of three different laboratory methods to detect preformed human leukocyte antigen antibodies in a South African kidney transplant population
Authors: Kwofie Luyanda , Anderson Ronald , Steel Helen , Meyer WA Pieter 
Published: August 2021

Background: Anti-human leukocyte antigen antibodies (anti-HLA) play a crucial role in graft. Detection of anti-HLA, both pre- and post-transplant is a crucial investigation in clinical organ transplantation.
Objectives: Three methodologies for the detection of lymphocytotoxic antibodies were compared to establish which of these is best suited to optimise pre-transplant donor-recipient matching.
Methods: Serum samples from 15 renal transplant patients were tested for the presence of anti-HLA by i) cytotoxic-de- pendent cross-match (CDCXM), ii) flow cytometric cross-match (FCXM) and iii) Luminex-based donor specific antibody cross-match (DSAXM) method, Confirmatory tests for the presence of preformed HLA antibodies were tested using Lu- minex methodology.
Results: Two (13%) of the 15 patients had positive HLA Class I antibodies (Ab) using all 3 methods. An additional 2 HLA Class I Ab were identified with FCXM/CDCXM. DSAXM identified 1 HLA Class I positive, not indicated by CDCXM/ FCXM. High HLA Class II positivity (40%), identified by CDCXM, while DSAXM and FCXM identified two and one patients, respectively. CDCXM produced 4 false-positive results confirmed by lymphocyte single antigen (LSA) assay.
Conclusions: The DSAXM method appears to add value in pre-transplantation screening to identify pre-sensitised patients that may not reject the donor graft due to the absence of donor-specific antibodies.

Published: August 2021

Background: Injuries contribute to morbidity and mortality in children. This study was carried out to describe the pattern of childhood injuries and associated risk factors in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Methods: This case control study was conducted in six selected health facilities in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Data were col- lected using a structured questionnaire. Cases and controls were children below 18 years who had suffered injuries and those without injury associated condition respectively.
Results: A total of 492 cases and 492 controls were included in the study, falls (32%), burns (26%), Road Traffic Injuries (14%) and cuts (10%) were the major types of injuries identified. Younger parents/guardians {Adjusted odds ratio (AOR)= 1.4; 95% CI: 1.4 -3.6}, more than six people in the same house (AOR= 1.8; 95% CI: 1.3-2.6), more than three children in the house {AOR= 1.4; 95% CI (1.0-2.0)}, absence of parent/guardian at time of injury occurrence (AOR= 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1-2.3), middle socio-economic (AOR=1.6; 95%CI: 1.1-2.4) and low socio-economic status (AOR= 1.5; 95% CI: 1.0-2.1) were independent risk factors for childhood injury.
Conclusion: Falls, burns and road traffic injuries were the main injury types in this study. Inadequate supervision, over- crowding, lower socio-economic status and low maternal age were significant risk factors for childhood injuries.
Keywords: Childhood injuries; risk factors; Dar es Salaam; Tanzania.
A descriptive prospective study of sports medicine practices for athletes in Uganda
Authors: K Lubega Samuel , Makubuya Timothy , Muwonge Haruna , Lambert Mike 
Published: August 2021

Background: Many international sporting organizations have recommended practices to reduce the risk of injury. These practices include screening for injury, having appropriate emergency medical care, and protocols for managing injury before return-to-play. The extent of the uptake of these practices in a developing country such as Uganda, is unknown.
Methodology: Using a descriptive case study approach, this investigation focused on a sample of injured athletes (n = 75) in Uganda from four main sports associations (football, athletics, basketball and rugby). The data were collected through observations and interviews after the injury. Using a best medical practice framework the phases of emergency, intermediate, rehabilitative, and return-to-sports participation were described.
Result: Nine conditions/types of injury were included. The results revealed a lack of specific pre-season screening or re- turn-to-play readiness for all the injured athletes. Further, there was a lack of application of best practice principles for most of the injury types. For athletes who received medical care, the results show inconsistencies and inadequacies from the acute stage of the injury to return-to-sports participation.
Conclusion: This study identified barriers such as up-to-date knowledge among the sports resource providers; the gaps for appropriate and adequate specific facilities for managing injured athletes, and policies to mandate care of injured athletes. These barriers detract from applying best medical practices.
Keywords: Injuries; medical; Uganda; emergency; intermediate; rehabilitation; return-to-sports.
Effects of black tea consumption and caffeine intake on depression risk in black tea consumers
Authors: Asil Esma , Volkan Yılmaz Mustafa , Yardimci Hulya 
Published: August 2021

Background: The aim of this study was to compare black tea consumption and caffeine intake with depression status.
Subjects and Methods: This study was conducted on 491 adults (M:169, F:322). The average daily caffeine intake of individuals was calculated using the amounts of caffeinated beverages they consumed daily and the caffeine contents of these beverages. The participants’ depression status was determined using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). All of the research data were evaluated using STATA.
Results: According to BDI scores, 30.1% of participants had depression. Black tea was consumed by all of the partici- pants and also had the highest consumption level of 620.1±90.4mL and the mean caffeine intake of the participants was 629.5±418.8 mg. Multivariate regression analyses showed that consuming more than 1 cup was protective against depression up to 4 cups. Moreover, a 450-600 mg caffeine intake also reduces the risk of depression than lower or higher intake levels.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that black tea consumption up to 4 cups and caffeine intake between 450-600 mg can help protect against depression. Further studies are needed to better understand the protective effects of black tea and caffeine on depression.
Keywords: Caffeine; black tea; beck depression inventory; depression.
Utilization and uptake of the UpToDate clinical decision support tool at the Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MakCHS), Uganda
Authors: Annet Kinengyere Alison , Rosenberg Julie , Pickard Olivia , Kamya Moses 
Published: August 2021

Background: The use of point-of-care, evidence-based tools is becoming increasingly popular. They can provide easy-to- use, high-quality information which is regularly updated and has been shown to improve clinical outcomes. Integrating such tools into clinical practice is an important component of improving the quality of health care. However, because such tools are rarely used in resource-limited settings, there is limited research on uptake especially among medical students.
Objective: This paper explores the uptake of one such tool, Up-To-Date, when provided free of cost at a medical school in Africa.
Methods: In partnership with the Better Evidence at Ariadne Labs free access to UpToDate was granted through the MakCHS IP address. On-site librarians facilitated training sessions and spread awareness of the tool. Usage data was aggre- gated, based on log ins and content views, presented and analyzed using Excel tables and graphs.
Results: The data shows evidence of meaningful usage, with 43,043 log ins and 15,591 registrations between August 2019 and August 2020. The most common topics viewed were in obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, drug information, and infectious diseases. Access occurred mainly through the mobile phone app.
Conclusion: Findings show usage by various user categories, but with inconsistent uptake and low usage. Librarians can draw upon these results to encourage institutions to support uptake of point-of-care tools in clinical practice.
Keywords: UpToDate clinical decision support tool; Makerere University College of Health Sciences; Uganda.

Published: August 2021

Background: Reminders via mobile devices deployed as short message services (SMS) or calls have been identified to be a useful strategy in improving routine immunization uptake in several countries.
Objective: To identify the timeliness of appointments with reminders (calls or SMS), SMS health education and the routine care, and the vaccination completion rates in Ilorin, Nigeria.
Method: Mother-infant pairs presenting for the first vaccination appointment were randomized into four (three inter- ventions, one control) groups, each consisting of 140 participants. Intervention groups were reminders via calls (A), SMS reminders (B), immunization fact SMS messages (C) and controls on usual care (D). Reminders were made a day before the appointment while SMS immunization facts were sent at five weeks, nine weeks and eight months. Appropriate timing was defined as the scheduled visit ±3 days.
Results: The immunization completion rates after the nine months’ visit were 99.2%, 99.3%, 97% and 90.4% for Groups A, B, C and D respectively. Compared with controls, Group A had the highest odds [AOR 8.78 (6.10, 12.63)] of presenting at an appropriate time, followed by Group B [AOR 2.56 (1.96, 3.35)], then Group C [AOR 2.44 (1.87, 3.18)].
Conclusion: Reminders/SMS immunization facts improve vaccination completion rates.
Keywords: Call reminders; short message services (SMS) reminders; SMS immunization; vaccination timing; Nigeria.

Yeast is one of the organisms that grow and survive in diverse conditions. The influence of environmental factors on its growth and proliferation were evaluated. The yeast used for the study was isolated from honey using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar and pour plate methods. The effects of temperature, pH and ultraviolet radiation on the growth of Rhodotorula, Debaryomyces, Zygosaccharomyces and Candida species were determined using standard methods. The growths of all the yeast isolates were greatly affected at 80oC. Rhodotorulla species showed least growth at 50oC, but optimal growth was recorded at 30oC after 96 h of incubation. A similar trend was observed in Debaromyces species. Zygosaccharomyces species recorded high reduction in growth at 60oC after 96 h of incubation, though there were no significant differences in the growths of the isolates at 60oC and 80oC. Candida species recorded the least effect of temperature at 30oC and highest at 60oC and 80oC after 96 h of incubation. The results of the effect of pH on growth of the yeasts showed that Rhodotorula and Zygosaccharomyces had optimum growth at pH of 5 and 4 respectively. All the isolates showed increase in growth with increase in incubation time. Exposure of the isolates to UV-rays negatively affected the growths of the isolates. The growths of the yeasts decreased with increase in exposure time. This study showed that yeast can survive adverse temperature and pH and can as well survive UV-ray exposure.
