<title>Abstract</title> Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slowly evolving multifactorial disorder that affects joints, particularly the knee. Periodontitis an infection of tissues supporting teeth, leading to significant tooth loss. Recent studies suggest association between Knee OA (KOA) and periodontitis, with prevalence periodontitis increasing severity KOA. We aimed determine distribution KOA in subjects living Patients methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted outpatient clinic...

The World Health Organisation recommends that each country adopts its own cut-off value of low birth weight (LBW) for clinical use. aims this study were to establish a point LBW and determine incidence, predictors complications in sub-urban area’s hospital Cameroon. We conducted two phases: 6-year retrospective phase during which we collected demographic information from the records maternity Buea Regional Hospital (BRH) 3-month prospective data consenting pregnant women using structured...
Waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height (WHtR) are all independent predictors of cardio-metabolic risk therefore important in HIV/AIDS patients on antiretroviral therapy at increased visceral adiposity. This study aimed to assess the extent agreement between these parameters body mass index (BMI), as anthropometric classifying patients.A secondary analysis data from a cross-sectional involving 200 was done. Anthropometric were measured participants using...
Abstract Background In the midst of COVID-19 pandemic, to palliate lockdown and cover academic programs, faculty medicine pharmaceutical sciences (FMPS) university Dschang (UDs) in Cameroon has implemented e-learning using WhatsApp ®. Aim Describe opinion students lecturers after its implementation at FMPS UDs. Methods We designed a uniform teaching scheme ® during lockdown. Students members staff UDs were enrolled receiving clear information on study implementation. At end online-teaching...
To characterize insulin action in Africans with ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) during remission.At Saint-Louis Hospital, Paris, France, 15 African patients KPD an average 10.5-month insulin-free near-normoglycemic remission period (mean A1C 6.2%) were compared 17 control subjects matched for age, sex, BMI, and geographical origin. Insulin stimulation of glucose disposal, suppression endogenous production (EGP) nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs), was studied using a 200-min two-step (10 mU x...
Objectives: With the ongoing epidemiological transition in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), conditions that require invasive treatment (surgery, cancer, and anaesthesia, etc.) will become increasingly common. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidisciplinary diagnostic process aimed at identifying older people risk of negative outcomes. It important to know whether this approach integrates care management strategies for context where health services are scarce, staff members have...
High birth weight (HBW) increases the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity mortality. Its prevalence adverse outcomes may be reduced if factors are identified managed during pregnancy. The cut-off value for HBW remains debatable. objectives this study were to identify optimal determine prevalence, predictors in a suburban area Cameroon.A 6-year retrospective register analysis 3-month prospective phase.A secondary care level (regional) hospital city Buea (southwest region Cameroon).Women who...
The metabolic impact of participating in a diabetes camp is little known among children and adolescents living with type 1 sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to assess the changes glycemic control insulin doses group Cameroon during after attendance. During 5-day camp, we collected data on doses, HbA1c, weight blood glucose at least six times per day diabetes. compared evolution these parameters 3 12 months camp. Thirty-two campers completed study. mean age was 19 ± 2 years median duration [IQR:...
Abstract Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection despite being a vaccine preventable disease remains global public health problem. In Cameroon, the hepatitis was introduced in expanded program on immunisation 2005, but there has been limited evaluation of HBV surface antibody response post vaccination. Objective We investigated immune to infants who received DPT-Hep B-Hib vaccine, and we assessed HBsAg carriage non-responders. also factors associated with non-response or poor response....
Tropical diabetic hand syndrome describes a complex sepsis affecting patients with diabetes across the tropics and often results from trivial trauma. The clinical presentation of this is variable ranges localised swelling cellulitis, or without ulceration to progressive fulminant sepsis, gangrene entire limb which may be fatal. could lead permanent disability death as result delay in presentation, late diagnosis medical surgical intervention. This indexed case acts an eye opener for...
The aim of this study was to establish whether an independent relationship exists between CD4 count and hypertension if is modified or confounded by the body mass index (BMI). Methods . A secondary data analysis a cross-sectional on 200 HIV/AIDS patients at referral hospital in Cameroon conducted. Linear logistic regression models were used as appropriate explore association variables interest. Results There no linear log both systolic (<mml:math...
Cameroon adopted and started implementing in 2016, the ‘universal test treat’ (UTT) guidelines to fast-track progress towards 95-95-95 ambitious targets end HIV epidemic. Achieving third 95 (viral load suppression) is most desirable target care. We aimed evaluate effectiveness of this novel approach on access viral testing (VLT), suppression (VLS), rebound (VLR). A retrospective cohort study was conducted at The Nkongsamba Regional Hospital compare VLT outcomes between pre-UTT (2002 2015)...
