| 1 | Expanding telemedicine to reduce the burden on the healthcare systems and poverty in Africa for a post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic reformation显示文摘The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)global public health emergency,has exposed the fragility of health systems.Access to healthcare became a scarce commodity as healthcare providers and resource-poor populations became victims of the novel corona virus.Therefore,this study focuses on Africa’s readiness to integrate telemedicine into the weak health systems and its adoption may help alleviate poor healthcare and poverty after COVID-19.We conducted a narrative review through different search strategies in Scopus on January 20,2021,to identify available literature reporting implementation of various telemedicine modes in Africa from January 1,2011 to December 31,2020.We summarized 54 studies according to geographies,field,and implementation methods.The results show a willingness to adopt telemedicine in the resource-poor settings and hard-to-reach populations,which will bring relief to the inadequate healthcare systems and alleviate poverty of those who feel the burden of healthcare cost the most.With adequate government financing,telemedicine promises to enhance the treating of communicable and non-communicable diseases as well as support health infrastructure.It can also alleviate poverty among vulnerable groups and hard-to-reach communities in Africa with adequate government financing.However,given the lack of funding in Africa,the challenges in implementing telemedicine require global and national strategies before it can yield promising results.This is especially true in regards to alleviating the multidimensionality of poverty in post-COVID-19 Africa. | Tosin Yinka Akintunde Oluseye David Akintunde Taha Hussein Musa Muhideen Sayibu Angwi Enow Tassang Linda M.Reed Shaojun Chen | 2021 | Global Health Journal2021,5,3: | 2 |

| 7 | Comparative evaluation of a rapid diagnostic test,an antibody ELISA,and a pLDH ELISA in detecting asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia in blood donors in Buea,Cameroon显示文摘Background:In malaria endemic areas,infected blood donors serve as a source of infection to blood recipients,which may adversely affect their prognosis.This necessitates the proper screening of blood to be used for transfusion in these areas.The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of malaria parasitaemia in blood donors in Buea,Cameroon,and to evaluate the performance of a rapid diagnostic test(RDT),a malaria antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and a Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase(pLDH)ELISA in the detection of asymptomatic malaria parasitaemia in the target population.Methods:In a prospective study conducted between September 2015 and June 2016,1240 potential blood donors were enrolled.The donors were screened for malaria parasites using Giemsa microscopy(GM)and a RDT.A sub-sample of 184 samples,comprising 88 positive and 96 negative samples,were selected for the evaluation of the pLDH ELISA and the antibody ELISA.The chi-square test and correlation analysis were performed as part of the statistical analyses.The statistical significance cut-off was set at P<0.05.Results:The prevalence of malaria parasitaemia in this study was found to be 8.1%(95%CI:6.6-9.7).The prevalence was not observed to be dependent on the age or sex of the participants.The RDT had a sensitivity(88.0%),specificity(99.1%),and negative predictive value(99.0%)higher than the ELISAs.The performance of the pLDH ELISA,which demonstrated the highest positive predictive value(91.6%),was generally comparable to the RDT.The sensitivity was lowest with the antibody ELISA(69.9%),which also demonstrated the highest false positive and false negative rates.The detection threshold for the pLDH(three parasites/μl)was lower compared to the RDT(50-60 parasites/μl).Non-significant positive correlations were observed between the parasite density and the pLDH titers and malaria antibody titers.Conclusions:Overall,the RDT and the pLDH ELISA demonstrated a perfectly correlated agreement with GM,meanwhile the antibody ELISA demonstrated a substantially correlated agreement with GM.The pLDH is therefore recommended for mass screening of blood(to detect malaria parasitaemia)for transfusions in the study area.However,where this is not feasible,an RDT will suffice. | Tebit Emmanuel Kwenti Longdoh Anna Njunda Beltine Tsamul Shey Dickson Nsagha Nguedia Jules-Clement Assob Kukwah Anthony Tufon Dilonga Henry Meriki Enow George Orock | 2017 | Infectious Diseases of Poverty2017,6,1: | 0 |
