1Immuno-haematologic and virologic responses and predictors of virologic failure in HIV-1 infected adults on first-line antiretroviral therapy in Cameroon显示文摘Background:Contemporary data on the immunologic,haematologic and virologic responses and predictors of virologic failure after initiation of free antiretroviral treatment in Cameroon are needed to evaluate the current treatment-monitoring algorithm and to complement efforts to scale-up and improve on the management of HIV infections.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study conducted between October 2010 and June 2012.A total of 951 participants aged 18-74 years were recruited from selected approved HIV treatment centres of the Northwest and Southwest regions.This comprised 247 males and 704 females.Demographic,self-reported risk behaviours and socioeconomic data were obtained using a structured questionnaire.Full blood and CD4+T-cell counts were done using standard automated techniques.Determination of viral load(VL)was done using Abbott RealTime HIV-1 m2000™system.Data was analysed using SPSS version 17.The statistical significance level was P<0.05.Results:The median duration of antiretroviral therapy(ART)was 24 months.The population mean CD4+T-cell count was 255.3 cells/μL[95%CI,236.8-273.9].Overall,45.9%,43.8%and 10.2%of the participants had CD4+T-cell counts of<200 cells/μL,200-499 cells/μL and>500 cells/μL respectively.Anaemia was present in 26.2%of the participants with 62.3%,25.7%and 12%described as mild,moderate and severe anaemia respectively.Virologic failure occurred in 23.2%of the participants with 12.3%having VL>10,000 RNA copies/mL.Meanwhile 76.8%of patients attained adequate viral suppression with 40.8%having undetectable viral load.The age group 18-29 years(p=0.024),co-infection with tuberculosis(p=0.014),anaemia(p=0.028)and distance from the treatment centre(p=0.011)independently predicted virologic failure.Conclusion:The majority of the participants achieved adequate viral suppression after≥6 months of ART.Despite these favourable immuno-haematologic and virologic outcomes,the National AIDS Control Program should step-up efforts to improve on antiretroviral drug distribution,as well as proper assessment and management of anaemia,foster early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis and enhance treatment adherence counselling especially in younger patients.Henry D Meriki Kukwah A Tufon Mbunkah H Afegenwi Bernard A Nyindem Pascal N Atanga Damian N Anong Fidelis Cho-Ngwa Theresa Nkuo-Akenji 2014Infectious Diseases of Poverty2014,3,1:3

3Valuation of Rice Postharvest Losses in Sub-Saharan Africa and Its Mitigation Strategies显示文摘Data on rice harvest and postharvest loss in Sub-Sahara Africa(SSA)is scanty making it difficult for stakeholders to appreciate the loss and set priority areas for loss reduction along the value chain.To address this problem,a protocol was developed and validated for postharvest loss(PHL)quantification in SSA.Quantitative losses at each segment were determined by field measurements.Interactive effect of origin of rice(domestic versus imported)and type of processing(white versus parboiled milled)on rice price in 33 markets in Africa was used to estimate qualitative loss for both white and parboiled milled rice.Total PHL for rice in SSA in 2018 is estimated at about US$10.24 billion,representing 47.63%of the expected total production.The highest loss recorded was quantitative loss before and during harvesting,followed by qualitative loss along the entire value chain,quantitative loss during milling,parboiling,threshing in that order,with the lowest being quantitative loss during drying.Priority areas to be targeted for PHL reduction in SSA and some loss mitigation tools and technologies piloted or suitable for SSA are proposed.Sali Atanga NDINDENG Alphonse CANDIA Delphine Lamare MAPIEMFU Vohangisoa RAKOTOMALALA Nahemiah DANBABA Kurahisha KULWA Paul HOUSSOU Sow MOHAMMED Ousman M.JARJU Salimata S.COULIBALY Elvis A.BAIDOO Jean MOREIRA Koichi FUTAKUCHI 2021Rice science2021,28,3:1

11Spatial analysis of synergies and trade-offs between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa显示文摘Challenges faced by African countries in achieving the goals of sustainable development are similar and trans-boundary. Previous analysis of Africa’s progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has largely beennon-spatial, reducing the ability to find spatial relationships between countries and SDGs to help cooperationand proffer country-specific interventions. This study adopted techniques of exploratory and inferential spatialstatistics to assess the successes of African countries from 2016 to 2020 in achieving the goals of sustainable de-velopment. Also, the study sought to understand how the spatial synergies and trade-offs between SDGs vary percountry and time. The results revealed that spatial hotspots of countries with high SDGs scores were mostly con-fined to northern African countries with significant coldspots within central and eastern Africa and few patchesin western and southern Africa for 2016. In 2020, the number of countries forming hotspots reduced, with Cen-tral African countries as significant cold spots. Five main spatial relationships: positive linear, negative linear,concave, convex and undefined complex, were found among countries and the SDGs. However, these spatialrelationships were fluid as they changed over time and with different levels of influence from 2016 to 2020.The study concludes that generic solutions and policies by development agencies, governments, developmentfinance instiutions and other impact investors will not be enough in achieving the SDGs because of the spatialheterogeneity of the continent. Tailored and country-specific policies based on results of spatial statistics matter.Adams Osman Emmanuel Abeashi Mensah Collins Adjei Mensah Yaw Asamoah Suleman Dauda Kofi Adu-Boahen Charles Atanga Adongo 2022Geography and Sustainability2022,3,3:1

17Assessment of Institutional and Legal Framework for Sustainable Land Use Management Practices in Ashi River Watershed,China显示文摘Nonpoint source(NPS)pollutants resulting from land degradation(LD)have been a key influential factor on the deterioration of water quality.Consequently,sustainable land use management(SLM)practices have been employed to reduce the impacts of LD globally.However,the adoption of SLM practices is often not effective to protect water resources despite its capability of improving water quality.Empirically,evidence shows that activities of land users directly influence SLM practices and NPS pollution of water resources in watersheds,but invariably this has not been clearly understood.Understanding how SLM practices adoption could prevent NPS pollution of water resources in watershed is a necessity.Therefore,the primary aim of the investigation is to comprehend the status of SLM practices with the legal framework supporting the adoption of such practices in the Ashi River watershed.A survey instrument involving structured questionnaire was implemented to collect data.A randomly based lottery method was applied to sample information from 150 land users in two control units’communities.Descriptive and inferential statistics was used to analyze the data.This research revealed that there is low adoption of SLM practices of the study site.The low adoption is due to weak capacity building and enforcement of regulations in the watershed.Occupation and age of the residents are the strongest predictors of SLM adoption rate.Residents connected with farming are more sensitive to the adoption status of SLM.It is our recommendation that policy makers should ensure capacity building,and enforcement of regulations can specifically compel farmers to adopt SLM technologies.This approach would complement other strategies to solve the NPS pollution issue of Ashi River.Vitus Tankpa Li Wang Raphael Ane Atanga Xiaomeng Guo Alfred Awotwi 2021Journal of Harbin Institute of Technology(New Series)2021,28,6:0
18Cardiac adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors in oncology patients:A systematic review and meta-analysis显示文摘BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)are novel therapeutic agents used for various types of cancer.ICIs have revolutionized cancer treatment and improved clinical outcomes among cancer patients.However,immune-related adverse effects of ICI therapy are common.Cardiovascular immune-related adverse events(irAEs)are rare but potentially life-threatening complications.AIM To estimate the incidence of cardiovascular irAEs among patients undergoing ICI therapy for various malignancies.METHODS We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis by searching PubMed,Cochrane CENTRAL,Web of Science,and SCOPUS databases for relevant interventional trials reporting cardiovascular irAEs.We performed a single-arm meta-analysis using OpenMeta[Analyst]software of the following outcomes:Myocarditis,pericardial effusion,heart failure,cardiomyopathy,atrial fibrillation,myocardial infarction,and cardiac arrest.We assessed the heterogeneity using the I2 test and managed to solve it with Cochrane’s leave-one-out method.The risk of bias was performed with the Cochrane’s risk of bias tool.RESULTS A total of 26 studies were included.The incidence of irAEs follows:Myocarditis:0.5%[95%confidence interval(CI):0.1%-0.9%];Pericardial effusion:0.5%(95%CI:0.1%-1.0%);Heart failure:0.3%(95%CI:0.0%-0.5%);Cardiomyopathy:0.3%(95%CI:-0.1%-0.6%);atrial fibrillation:4.6%(95%CI:1.0%-14.1%);Myocardial infarction:0.4%(95%CI:0.0%-0.7%);and Cardiac arrest:0.4%(95%CI:0.1%-0.8%).CONCLUSION The most common cardiovascular irAEs were atrial fibrillation,myocarditis,and pericardial effusion.Although rare,data from post market surveillance will provide estimates of the long-term prevalence and prognosis in patients with ICIassociated cardiovascular complications.Nso Nso Daniel Antwi-Amoabeng Bryce D Beutler Mark B Ulanja Jasmine Ghuman Ahmed Hanfy Joyce Nimo-Boampong Sirri Atanga Rajkumar Doshi Sostanie Enoru Nageshwara Gullapalli 2020World Journal of Cardiology2020,12,11:0
