Abstract:

Introduction: Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection, spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs, an infected person. It mainly affects the lungs; it's treated with the antibiotics. The aimed of his study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with Rifampicin (RIF)-resistant tuberculosis using GeneXpert technology.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2018 to November 2019 among Tuberculosis (TB)- infected Cameroonian patients in the Littoral Region using records from patients presenting with clinically suspected or documented TB. The patients were screened for TB using GeneXpert MDR/RIF ultra. Data were documented with an ad hoc survey form and analysed with SPSS version 22.

Results: 153 patients were included in the study. 64.1% were males; mean age was 37.9 ± 14.7 years and median age 37 years (range: 2–82). Most patients were new cases (76.4%). Relapses accounted for 8.5% and recurrences for 2.6%. Pulmonary TB was diagnosed among 98.7% patients using mostly sputum samples (85%). The prevalence of RIF resistance was 6.7% (95% CI: 3.4%–12.7%). This prevalence was significantly higher in samples of mucus and mucopurulent aspect (P-value=0.04). RIF-resistant M. tuberculosis strains were significantly more frequent among relapses than new cases (23.1% vs. 2.3% P-value<0.0001). A statistically significant association was found between GeneXpert-based quantification results and type and aspect of samples.

Conclusions: This study confirms the circulation of RIF-resistant M. tuberculosis strains in the Littoral region. There is a need for extensive studies in other parts of the country.

Abstract:

Moringa stenopetala Bak. Cuf. is a native plant of Ethiopia with important nutraceutical applications. However, little is known about its nutritional, ethno-pharmaceutical and therapeutic properties. Hence, the present study sought to assess the nutraceutical applications of M. stenopetala among traditional healers in southern Ethiopia.

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 selected administrative units in Gamo Gofa, Segen areas and south Omo zones of southern Ethiopia from May to June 2020. Data were gathered using a semi-structured interview, field observation and group discussion. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analysed using Excel 2019 and open code version 4.03, respectively. The results were presented using descriptive statistics, with the Fidelity Level (FL)% used to distinguish the preferential use of various plant parts.

A total of 120 individuals participated in the study and the majority of them, 89 (74.2%), were male and farmers by occupation. Eight four (70%) of them were residents of the Gamo Gofa Zone. The fidelity level revealed that the leaf and root were the most commonly used parts for nutraceutical purposes. Remarkably, M. stenopetala is used to treat human ailments such as leprosy and kidney and liver infections via various modes of utilisation and administration. As a result, the most common methods of utilising plant products are chewing or consuming crushed plant parts and the oral route is the much-preferred method of application. On the other hand, the larvae of Moringa moth Nurda blitealis are a defoliating insect during the rainy season and have been identified as a limiting factor for its production.

The nutraceutical aspects of M. stenopetala are extremely important to the rural community in southern Ethiopia. However, the defoliating moth larvae threaten its growth and biomass production, necessitating the need to manage and improve the plant’s productivity and sustainable use. Additionally, conducting experimental studies to validate the plant’s pharmacological potential correspond to a milestone in drug discovery.

Abstract:

How to create effective vaccines is a method that uses basic logic of the white blood cells use of MPO by creating a synthesis of this chemical for which to introduce a vaccine that has been exposed to the extremes of nature and physics to break down the organism in such conditions as cold, heat, pressure and depressurization while maintaining the entire organisms genetic structure as a whole for which the synthesized MPO will act as a final step to dissolve and present the organism and its particles to the immune system. Effectiveness of this method is universal and is capable of use for all infectious diseases to include HIV
