The prevalence, patterns and factors associated with work related musculoskeletal symptoms among surgical residents in Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya
Authors: Macharia K.M. , Sitati F.C. 
Published: April 2024

Background: In the medical sector, surgeons work in an environment that is not ergonomically ideal, and many suffer work-related musculoskeletal symptoms that may result in reduced quality of life, disability, and diminished career longevity. While data exists on musculoskeletal symptoms in practising surgeons, this is not the case for trainee surgeons.
Objective: To determine the prevalence, patterns and factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal symptoms among surgical residents working in Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was done to determine the prevalence, patterns and factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal symptoms among surgical residents working in Kenyatta National Hospital. An electronic questionnaire based on the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was sent to all participants via electronic messaging.
Results: Two hundred and seventeen responses were received. The overall prevalence of workrelated musculoskeletal symptoms was 93%. The most commonly affected anatomic region was the lower back (68%) followed by the neck (47%). Residents from the thematic units of urology, paediatric surgery and general surgery had a 100% prevalence rate of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Residents from plastic surgery and ophthalmology units had the lowest prevalence rates (83% and 84% respectively). Neck symptoms were associated with using loupes (OR, 2.9, p=0.02) and microscopes (OR, 2.2, p=0.05). Female gender was associated with wrist/hand symptoms (OR, 3.84, p=0.01). Increasing age was associated with symptoms in the neck (OR, 1.22 p=0.002) and lower back (OR, 1.15 p=0.03). No association was found between overall prevalence and thematic unit (p=0.13), year of study (p=0.903) or hours in theatre (p=0.97).
Conclusion and recommendations: Surgical residents experience a significantly high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Urology, paediatric surgery and general surgery residents had the highest overall prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms.

Published: April 2024

Background: Bone tumours are significant global health concern, with a rising number of new cases being diagnosed each year. The incidence of bone tumours has shown a significant increase in recent years, as evidenced by a 50% rise in new cases in 2020 alone. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. The diagnosis of primary bone tumours is based on clinical, radiological and histopathological findings.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the diagnostic correlation between plain radiographic and histopathological reports in diagnosing long bone tumours.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between 2018 and 2021. Participants who underwent a histological examination for long bone tumours and met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. Relevant information was obtained from patient records then sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the plain radiograph were calculated with histopathology serving as the gold standard.
Results: The study included 83 participants, the majority were aged 30 years old or younger. Forty six percent of the cases were malignant tumours while benign were 54%. Osteosarcoma was found to be the most common tumour type both by radiological and histological diagnosis and femur was the most commonly affected bone. Plain radiograph was found to have a sensitivity of 92.1%, specificity of 73.3% and accuracy of 82%.
Conclusion: This study found a strong diagnostic correlation between plain radiographic and histopathology reports in patients with long bone tumours. This suggests that plain radiography can serve as a useful screening tool for long bone tumours in resource-limited settings, allowing for early and accurate preliminary diagnoses.

Cosmetics are one of the major pollutants in the aquatic ecosystem due to the quantum of production to meet the astronomical demand of users that eventually becomes harmful to organisms. Changes in physic-chemical parameters such as potential of hydrogen (pH), Electrical conductivity (EC), Temperature (T oC) Dissolved oxygen (DO) were investigated at the beginning and after 96 hours of cosmetic exposure. This study also investigated the effects of four facial cosmetic products (Powder, foundation, concealer, and primer) histopathologically in fingerlings of Clarias gariepinus (gills) exposed to binary, trinary, and quaternary mixtures in o laboratory bioassays for 48 hours and 96 hours. The results of pH, T C, EC and DO ranged from 6.21 - 6.64, o 25.40 - 26.70 oC, 0.04 - 0.14 mS/cm, and 10.00 -12.00 mg/l respectively. The joint action toxicity evaluation of the binary, trinary, and quaternary mixtures of the cosmetics prepared based on an equitoxic ratio against the test organism was in concordance with the model of synergism. Results showed the prevalence of severe lamellar necrosis in the gills of C. gariepinus which was observed across all combinations except in the combinations of Powder + Primer as well as Powder + Foundation + Concealer + Primer. Moderate lamellar necrosis and hypertrophied epithelium were observed in fish exposed to a mixture of Powder + Foundation + Concealer. The results obtained in this study suggested that the presence of facial cosmetics in the aquatic ecosystem could be dangerous to fish and subsequently human health via biomagnification. Therefore, there is an urgent need for environmental regulators to enforce safety standards for the emission of these selected cosmetics wastes into the waterways to prevent damage to aquatic organisms and public health issues.

The study espoused qualitative and quantitative approaches under the case study design. Simple random and purposive designs were used to choose 76 samples while surveys and in-depth interviews were employed in data collection. Likert scale was used to measure respondents’ perceptions of the effectiveness of the system whereas five (5) point ordinal scales were used to rate the respondent's degree to which they agree or disagree with its effectiveness on pharmaceutical inventory management at MSD. The study revealed that the majority of the respondents 57.9% and 42.1% strongly agree and agree respectively that the system is effective in customer service delivery, while 48.7% and 31.6% of respondents strongly agree and agree respectively that the system helped in inventory tracking. Nevertheless, 36.8% and 46.1% of the respondents strongly agree and agree correspondingly that the system helps in cost reduction. Moreover, 48.7% and 35.5% of the respondents strongly agree and agree that the EPICOR-10 system enabled time-saving whereas 39.5% and 36.8% of the respondents also strongly agree and agree respectively that the system provides the accuracy of real-time information when managing pharmaceutical inventory issues. The study recommends that MSD should continue to utilize EPICOR-10 system effectively in inventory management practices while more considerations should be taken on improving the system in the areas of its flexibility when integrating with other activities of the organization. However, regular training programs to capacitate staff and other users on advanced features and functionalities of the system are essential for the continuous improvement of pharmaceutical inventory management in Tanzania and other health sectors in developing countries.

The milky mangrove Excoecaria agallocha is a latex-secreting mangrove that are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. While its poisonous latex is regarded as a potential source of phytochemicals for biomedical applications, the genomic resources of E. agallocha remains limited. Here, we present a chromosomal level genome of E. agallocha, assembled from the combination of PacBio long-read sequencing and Omni-C data. The resulting assembly size is 1,332.45 Mb and has high contiguity and completeness with a scaffold N50 of 58.9 Mb and a BUSCO score of 98.4%, with 86.08% of sequences anchored to 18 pseudomolecules. 73,740 protein-coding genes were also predicted. The milky mangrove genome provides a useful resource for further understanding the biosynthesis of phytochemical compounds in E. agallocha.

Published: April 2024

Цель работы – попытаться оценить своевременность и целесообразность введения в действие Программы долгосрочных пенсионных сбережений, которая стартовала в стране с 1 января 2024 года. В статье приведены статистические данные о результатах Программы софинансирования пенсионных накоплений 2008 года и данные о развитии рынка негосударственного пенсионного обеспечения. Сделан вывод о слабой готовности населения к включению в программу долгосрочных сбережений из-за низкой осведомленности и отсутствию свободных денежных средств.
For more than twenty years of pension reform in the Russian Federation, the country has not been able to form an understanding and willingness of our fellow citizens to be responsible for their retirement future. Only a small part of the population forms targeted pension savings in one way or another. The purpose of the work is to try to assess the timeliness and expediency of the introduction of a long–term pension Savings Program, which started in the country on January 1, 2024. The article presents statistical data on the results of the 2008 Pension Savings Co-financing Program and provides data on the development of the non-state pension provision market. It is concluded that the population is poorly prepared to be included in the long-term savings program due to low awareness and lack of available funds.
