Despite the acknowledged injustice and widespread existence of parachute research studies conducted in low- or middle-income countries by researchers from institutions high-income countries, there is currently no pragmatic guidance for how academic journals should evaluate manuscript submissions challenge this practice. We assembled a multidisciplinary group editors with expertise international health to develop consensus statement. reviewed relevant existing literature held three workshops...
Compensation for research participants can be provided reasons including reimbursement of costs; compensation time lost, discomfort or inconvenience; expression appreciation participation. This involves numerous ethical complexities, at times entailing competing risks. In the context transnational research, often incorporating contexts economic inequality, power differentials and post-colonialism, these issues extend into wider questions conduct.We describe experiences conducting a...
Chronic lung diseases contribute to the growing non-communicable disease (NCD) burden and are increasing, particularly in many low middle-income countries (LMIC) sub-Saharan African. Early engagement with health systems chronic management is critical maintain quality of life prevent further damage. Our study sought understand seeking behaviour relation TB a rural district Malawi.
Haemorrhage is one of the leading global causes maternal mortality. The Rüsch balloon has been used in treatment postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) after failure medical management. It often effective tamponading uterine bleeding, thus providing an alternative to hysterectomy. We describe a series 22 cases which we control massive obstetric by means. In our study, 13 out patients (59.1%) required no further interventions tamponade. Seven (31.8%) hysterectomy bleeding. include review current...
Background: Air pollution is a major environmental risk factor for cardiorespiratory disease. Exposures to household air from cooking and other activities, are particularly high in Southern Africa. Following an extended period of participant observation village Malawi, we aimed assess individuals' exposures fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) carbon monoxide (CO) investigate the different sources exposure, including methods. Methods: Adult residents Malawi wore personal PM 2.5 CO monitors 24-48...
Respiratory infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many low middle-income countries but non-communicable disease rates are rising fast. Prevalence studies have been primarily symptom-focused, with tools developed the Global North such as United States Kingdom. Systematic study sub-Saharan African populations is necessary to accurately reflect risk factors present these populations. We for studies, part International Multidisciplinary Programme Address Lung Health TB...
Air pollution adversely affects human health, and the climate crisis intensifies global imperative for action. Low-/middle-income countries (LMIC) suffer particularly high attributable disease burdens. In rural low-resource settings, these are linked to cooking using biomass. Proposed biomedical solutions air typically involve ‘improved technologies’, often introduced by high-income country research teams. This ethnography, set in a Malawian village, aimed understand within its social...

Obesity is a growing epidemic in the western world. We carried out comparative analysis of incidence obstetric morbidity three BMI categories ranges 30-40 to identify which category was associated with greatest risk. This identification could help target limited maternity care resources group women who would benefit most. There exists scale continuum risk maternal obesity: greater BMI, However, pregnant mild or moderate obesity are still at significant having pre-existing co-morbidities...

<ns3:p>Background The COVID-19 epidemic in Malawi involved almost 90,000 recorded cases and 2,638 deaths. In response to early concerns about vulnerable older people rural areas, we developed ‘Kuteteza’: a mitigation project. Clinicians, public health professionals, researchers collaborated with government district-level staff two Southern districts. Interventions included supported ‘shielding’ of – minimising social mixing whilst having their daily needs supported. Additional strategies...
Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common and deadliest gynecological malignant tumors. Most individuals receive a diagnosis at an advanced stage since they do not exhibit typical symptoms in early stages. Therefore, to increase overall survival, detection measures are needed. To predict malignancy preoperatively patients with ovarian masses, unique diagnostic nomogram was developed. It important assess this nomogram's ability masses compare its results those commonly used...
