The University of Cape Town research focus on combating poverty-related heart disease in Africa

Posted on Leave a comment

According to studies, one of the leading causes of death in Africa and many developing countries is cardiovascular disease (CVD). Resources in low-and-middle-income-countries are limited, therefore, it is imperative that interventions are guided by the cost-effectiveness of screening and early treatment opportunities.

The University of Cape Town (UCT) is leading comprehensive research programmes on CVD, at its Departments of Surgery and Medicine within the Faculty of Health Sciences and at Groote Schuur Hospital. These programmes focus on combating diseases related to poverty, such as rheumatic heart disease, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

The NICD confirms mango fly maggot infestation in North West province

Posted on Leave a comment

The National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) has confirmed an outbreak of maggot (tumbu fly) infestation in people in the North West province and increased sporadic cases in Gauteng.

“Our laboratory has confirmed that the maggots are those of the tumbu fly (also known as the mango’ or ‘putsi’ fly). The increase in the number of cases is most likely related to the recent marked increase in seasonal rainfall, leading to the expansion of the fly’s normal range, namely the warmer northern and eastern parts of the country,” said the NICD.

According to the NICD, infection occurs when the adult female tumbu fly deposits eggs usually on urine or faeces-contaminated sand, soil or clothing. The maggots hatch and on contact with skin, penetrate and cause enlarging boil-like skin lesions, each with a small opening at the apex through which the larva breathes.

Listeria: Follow SA’s medical sleuths as they chase a killer in a race against time

Posted on Leave a comment

A mechanical hum fills the small room where James Bond is working to track down a killer. His name is printed in black letters on the side of his body.

But this James Bond isn’t the world’s most famous secret agent. It’s one of three gene-sequencing machines at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in Johannesburg.

Working along its Matrix-inspired counterparts, Neo and Niobe, Bond is the size of an average desktop printer. But the state-of-the-art devices can determine the genetic make-up of animal and plant cells in about three days.

Another project costing a whooping R127-million on a condom no one wanted?

Posted on Leave a comment

Every year, South Africa distributes tens of millions of female condoms, making the country home to one of the largest female condom programmes in the world, research published in the 2017 South African Health Review (SAHR) shows.

The tenders for these condoms are big business. The government paid billions to suppliers of male and female condoms, as well as lubricants, for three years as part of the most recent tender.

The health department should be commended for ramping up the number of female condoms it has bought and distributed over the past decade, surpassing its own target of 25-million annually in 2015/2016, the research reveals.
