Introduction:
Tuberculosis still accounts for millions of cases of active disease and deaths worldwide. The disease mainly affects the developing countries. Modern Anti-tubercular treatment can cure virtually all patients provided correct combination treatment is taken in amount and duration. Treatment of TB has been shifted towards daily regimen with administration of daily fixed dose combination of first- line ATD as per appropriate weight bands.
Objectives:

To study efficacy of RNTCP recommended Anti TB FDCs in different weight ranges of weight Bands.

Materials and Methods: A Prospective cohort study was conducted involving a total of 830 patients presenting to Department of Respiratory Medicine, Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital, Sion, Mumbai with diagnosed tuberculosis and Registered for CAT I and CAT II ATT. Duration of study was 21 months. Follow up was done at the end of intensive phase (2 months) [at the end of maximum 3 months in extrapulmonary TB] and at the end of continuation phase (6 months for Cat I and 8 months for Cat II patients). Outcome of ATT was studied in different weight bands as per RNTCP. (Cure, Failure and treatment completed). Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0.
Result:
Among treatment categories, most patients (78.6%) were registered under Category I (new patients) as compared to retreatment cases (Category II and Category I Retreatment). Among PTB patients cure rate was 78.2%, while among EPTB patients treatment completion rate was 85.2%. Compliance of patients was better with FDCs due to reduced pill load, single dose administration, can be conveniently given to patients of all weights as per their weight bands.
Conclusion: Among PTB patients cure rate was 78.2%, while among EPTB patients treatment completion rate was 85.2%.

Published: September 2024

Background: Worldwide, stroke is the commonest cause of chronic adult disability. Hyperuricemia is said to predict first ever stroke. Uric acid has both prooxidant and antioxidant effects. So this study was taken up to find whether high uric acid levels are beneficial or associated with risk in acute stroke.
Aim: This study aims to determine the serum uric acid levels in acute stroke patients and assess its relationship with cerebrovascular risk factors.
Material &Methods: This was a cross sectional study done in stroke patients admitted to the General Medicine department of Government Medical College, Thrissur during the period of January 2017 to December 2017. 82 participants with acute stroke (ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage) were included in this study. Uric acid levels were estimated by uricase method.The serum uric acid levels and its relationship with cerebrovascular risk factors namely hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, history of ischemic heart disease, dyslipidemia, and valvular heart disease were determined. Correlation of urate levels with age, and lipid profile was also determined. Correlation between different parameters was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Significance for association between cerebrovascular risk factors and uric acid levels was tested using Chi Square test.
Results: 61% of participants belonged to the age group of 56-75yrs. Out of total 82 participants, 60 had ischemic stroke and 22 had hemorrhagic stroke. Mean uric acid levels were 6.13 + 0.46 mg/dl and 36 participants were hyperuricemic. Serum uric acid was found to be significantly higher in men (6.63 + 1.32) compared to women (5.57 + 1.43). There was a significant positive correlation between serum uric acid concentration and triglyceride levels in patients with acute stroke. No significant association was obtained between serum uric acid levels and cerebrovascular risk factors including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, history of ischemic heart disease, dyslipidemia, valvular heart disease, previous history of cerebrovascular accident and stroke type (p > 0.05) .
Conclusions: Increased serum uric acid levels can be considered as a risk factor for acute stroke due to its high levels and its accompanying increase in triglyceride levels.

Background: The epidemiology of cerebral palsy (CP) is poorly described in Ghana. These data are crucial for evidence-based intervention for children with CP in the country.Objectives: We aimed to describe the epidemiology of CP among children in Ghana.Method: We established the first institution-based register of children with CP in Ghana (Ghana CP Register–GCPR). Children with confirmed CP aged 18 years were registered following a detailed neurodevelopmental assessment. Socio-demographics, risk factors, predominant motor type and topography, gross motor function classification system (GMFCS), associated impairments, education and rehabilitation status were documented.Results: Between October 2018 and February 2020, 455 children were registered (mean [standard deviation {s.d.}] age at assessment: 5.9 [4.1] years). Preterm birth and low birthweight were reported in 52.0% and 21.1% children respectively. Most children (79.6%) had a pre- or perinatally acquired CP and the mean (s.d.) age of CP diagnosis was 22.2 (21.6) months. Overall, 55.9% of children had spastic tri- or quadriplegia, 60.5% had GMFCS level III–V and 70.3% had ≥ 1 associated impairment. However, 20.5% had never received rehabilitation services and 69.6% of school-aged children in the GCPR were not enrolled in schools.Conclusion: The study findings indicate a high burden of severe motor and associated impairment among children with CP in Ghana which highlights the need for tailored interventions to improve health and well-being of children with CP in the country.Contribution: The study highlights the need for interventions to improve functional outcome, health and well-being of children with CP in Ghana.
Lived experiences of adults’ non-compliance with psychiatric medication for depression
Authors: Du Plessis Jeanne , Temane Annie , Poggenpoel Marie 
Published: September 2024

Background: Non-compliance with psychiatric medication among patients diagnosed with depression ranges from 28% to 52% exacerbating illness and reducing treatment effectiveness. There is a paucity of research on medication non-compliance and its causes in South Africa and globally, and an urgent need to develop appropriate interventions.Aim: This study aimed to explore and describe the experiences of adults living with depression who are non-compliant with their psychiatric medication and formulate recommendations to facilitate their medication compliance.Setting: The study was conducted in a psychiatric ward at a public hospital in Gauteng, South Africa.Methods: The study employed a qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design. Ten adults’ lived experiences were explored using in-depth individual interviews, and Tech’s coding method was used to analyse data.Results: Two themes emerged from the data: adults living with major depression offered several reasons for non-compliance, and adults living with major depression experienced non-compliance, which created a setback to their recovery.Conclusion: Non-compliance with medication is a common challenge among adults receiving mental health care and treatment. Ensuring compliance to medication is crucial for improving the prognosis of psychiatric conditions. Therefore, it is essential for healthcare practitioners in the field of psychiatry to have a comprehensive understanding of medication compliance and to effectively address any challenges that may arise in this area.Contribution: This paper contributes to the research field and adds knowledge to clinical nursing practice by exploring adults’ experiences with non-compliance to psychiatric medications while living with depression in the South African context.
The spate of spousal homicide in Nigeria: Reconsidering the Christian divorce prohibition
Authors: Ademiluka Solomon O. 
Published: September 2024

In recent times, spousal homicide resulting from domestic violence has been on the increase in Nigeria, and one major factor responsible for this is the Christian doctrine that prohibits divorce. Hence, employing the historical-critical exegesis and descriptive approach, this article postulated a correlation between this doctrine and spousal homicide, and sought a possible reconsideration of divorce prohibition as a solution to the latter. The work found that in Nigeria, because of the conservative view of divorce, the churches dissuade women experiencing domestic violence from divorce, just as they treat divorcees with contempt and segregation. Hence, there exists a correlation between divorce prohibition and spousal homicide because the latter is usually an outcome of domestic abuse. Therefore, the article argued that a solution to spousal homicide in Nigeria could arise from a reconsideration of divorce prohibition through a critical examination of the biblical texts upon which the doctrine is anchored.Contribution: This article is a contribution to the discourse on the spate of spousal homicide in Nigeria arising from domestic violence. It postulates a correlation between the Christian divorce prohibition and spousal homicide, and therefore proposes a reconsideration of this doctrine as a solution to the latter.

В статье рассматривается проблема объективности в историче- ских исследованиях на примере грузинского историка Захария Чичинадзе, кото- рый издал монографию «История Осетии по грузинским источникам». Авторы пытаются показать З. Чичинадзе таким, каким он был в реальной действитель- ности – объективным, неангажированным исследователем взаимоотношений Осетии и Грузии. При этом осуждаются грузинские националисты, которые ис- кажают историческую и правовую действительность, особенно в современных грузино-осетинских отношениях.
The article examines the problem of objectivity in historical research on the example of the Georgian historian of the past, Zahariya Chichinadze, who published the monograph "The History of Ossetia according to Georgian sources." The authors try to show the historian of the past as he was in reality – an objective, unbiased researcher of the relations between Ossetia and Georgia. Grades are given to him. At the same time, many Georgian nationalists are condemned for distorting historical and legal reality, especially in modern Georgian-Ossetian relations..

Published: September 2024

The public secondary school students are exposed to challenges such as low parental support, poor parental background, lack of conducive school environment, teachers’ negative attitude; poor finance to meet up basic needs at school and these resulted in inability to successfully complete their studies. The simple random sampling technique was used to select three local governments in the Ibadan Metropolis. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the hypotheses that were stated in this study. There was a significant main effect of treatments on academic survival (F2, 30 = 5.725, p &lt; 0.05, η2 = 0.436), there was no significant main effect of academic self-efficacy in improving academic survival among participants (F2, 30 = 0.075, p &gt; 0.05, partial η2 = .001).
