Background—misinformation and mistrust often undermines community vaccine uptake, yet information in rural communities, especially of developing countries, is scarce. This study aimed to identify major challenges associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical trials among healthcare workers staff Uganda. Methods—a rapid exploratory survey was conducted over 5 weeks 260 respondents (66% male) from centers across the country using an online questionnaire. Twenty-seven questions...
In this study, we initiated an effort to generate information about beef safety in Uganda. Our entry point was assess by atomic absorption spectrophotometry the levels of essential elements copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), non-essential lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd) 40 samples collected from within around Soroti (Uganda). The used evaluate consuming such against World Health Organization (WHO) limits. latter accomplished (i) estimating daily intake...
Cervical cancer (CC) is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women living in third-world countries. CC preventable, with possibility complete treatment if detected early. The objective study was to assess level knowledge, attitude, and practice on screening (CCS) female university students (FUS) Ishaka, western Uganda.The a descriptive cross-sectional FUS (n = 407) Uganda conducted after first nationwide lockdown Uganda. Information collected using questionnaire descriptively...
Crinum jagus (C. jagus; J. Thomps.) Dandy (Liliaceae) is a pantropical plant known for its medicinal values and pharmacological properties. The study assessed the protective effects changes in oxidative stress indices due to C. leaf extracts on toluene-induced liver kidney injuries rats. was conducted 8-week-old male Wistar rats (n = 80), weighing 243.3 ± 1.42 g. Group I, 1 ml/kg distilled water 7 days; II, 4.5 toluene once, III, 500 mg/kg methanolic extract IV, aqueous V, VI, VII, of...
Over time, the use of plant-derived agents in management various human health conditions has gained a lot attention. The study assessed hepatoprotective potential ethyl acetate fraction Tamarindus indica leaves (EFTI) during prenatal aluminum chloride exposure. Pregnant rats were divided into 5 groups (n = 4); Group I administered 2 ml kg−1 distilled water (negative control), II received only 200 mg (positive III and 400 EFTI, IV 800 V 300 Vit E (comparative control). On postnatal day 1,...
Purpose: The recent increase in aluminum exposure and its effect on the development of brain call for serious attention. study investigated behavioral immunohistochemical changes cerebral cortex Wistar rats following prenatal co-administration ethyl acetate leaf fraction Tamarindus indica (EATI) chloride (AlCl 3 ). Methods: Pregnant were divided into 5 groups (n=4). Group I (negative control), II–V experimental treated with 200 mg/kg AlCl s/c. III IV received an additional 400 800 EATI...
Stress among medical students is related to their academic lifespan; however, information on brain health from developing countries continues be scarce. The objective of this study was establish perceived stress levels, assess the ability cope with stress, and investigate its effects visual reaction time (VRT), audio (ART), tactile (TRT) in somatosensory cortex Uganda.This a cross-sectional conducted preclinical (n = 88) clinical 96) undergraduate at Kampala International University Western...
This study evaluated the effects of aqueous seed extract Parkia biglobosa on micro-anatomy testis and sperm profile adult Wistar rats. Twenty-one male rats weighing between 96 120 g were assigned into three groups A, B, C (n=7). Group A was control received normal saline, while animals in B treated with 300 500 mg/kg body weight (Bwt) P. biglobosa orally daily for 30 days. The sacrificed via cervical dislocation at end administration, testes extracted micro anatomical histochemical...
Aim and Objective: This cadaveric study was done to describe the variations in pattern of pulmonary fissures Western Kenyan population. Data were sourced from 68 lungs fixed formalin gross anatomy laboratory Department Human Anatomy, Uzima University. The studied results compared with previous studies. Results: In this 83.82% had a classical appearance “textbook” lung: three major that complete without any accessory fissure. Out 31 right examined, horizontal fissure absent 0% lungs,...
Background: Medicinal plants are of great importance to health individual and communities. About 80% the population in Uganda relies on traditional medicine because western-trained medical personnel limited especially villages. Most Ugandans use Hymenoxys odorato for medicinal purposes e.g. treat colds, fever, coughs, anti-helminthes, locally used as tea, anti-allergy also an anti-venom relieve snake bites. Method: A group 25 male wistar rats 150 g–210 g were kept 14 days while...
Objective The persistent sciatic artery associated with birth is a rare anomaly high rate of abnormal dilatation, blockage and stenosis prompting in extreme thrombosis, caudal embolisation, or aneurysm rupture. This case report on cadaveric specimen (50-year-old) African female cadaver the Human Anatomy Laboratory, Department Anatomy, Uzima University. Methods: During routine dissections by first year medical students peculiar structure was noted behind right thigh after exposure gluteal...
Ethambutol is one of the first line drugs for treating tuberculosis. Its toxic effects on optic nerve are majorly classified as reversible. However, worsening vision and permanent loss after ethambutol discontinuation also documented. To determine effect toxicity oligodendrocytes at different periods treatment. Twenty-five male adult wistar rats 110-130g average weight were housed in cages, exposed to 12-hour dark light cycles. After week acclimatization, five animals randomly selected...
Abstract Infiltrating intermuscular angiolipomas are rare. We report a cadaveric case of infiltrating angiolipoma in the muscles posterior axioappendicular region with literature context live individuals. The macroscopic assessment showed non-capsulated homogenous yellow mass was located between trapezius muscle above and rhomboid major below invaded dorsal scapular blood vessels from muscle. It weighed 47.03 g, 8.5 cm x 6.6 1.7 (length, width, thickness). Microscopic analysis shows mature...
Abstract The objective of the study was to assess; level knowledge, attitude and practice on cervical cancer screening (CCS) among female university students (FUS) in Ishaka, western Uganda. a descriptive cross-sectional FUS ( n = 407) Uganda conducted after first nationwide lockdown Information collected using questionnaire descriptively presented as frequency percentages. Majority our respondents were medical 283 (69.5%), below 25years 339 (83.3%), with Anglican Christian religious...
Objective: Intussusception is the invagination of a proximal portion gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent distal portion. This unusual form bowel obstruction occurs less frequently in adults.

Method: Student groups at University were assigned with ratio 8:1 meaning that eight students...
Background The thyroid gland is amongst the most anatomically variable structures in human body, with incidence of pyramidal lobe ranging from 57-65%. While these anatomical variations remain overlooked or misinterpreted by students during routine laboratory dissection, they are clinical relevance terms functional disorders and illnesses associated gland. Multiple patterns have been identified dissections reported literature. knowledge pattern differences vital for surgical practice patient...
Abstract Objective Challenges associated with current nutritional models to induce obesity in Drosophila melanogaster created a rationale for this study. The objective of the study was investigate biochemical changes high-fat diet (HFD), high sucrose (HSD), and protein-restricted (DR) healthy metabolic state. were fed four experimental diets: regular food (control), HFD, HSD, DR, weeks. Peristaltic waves measured on 3 rd instar larvae, while negative geotaxis, body mass, catalase activity;...
