Abstract
OBJECTIVE Globally 37.9 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, and with mortality rates declining, there is an increasing focus on comorbidities including musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review was to generate and summarize an overview of the existing scientific literature dealing with MSK complaints in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). METHODS This scoping review followed the five-stage methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library from inception to June 1, 2020. Two reviewers independently reviewed the articles for eligibility. A data extraction form was used to chart information such as author, year of publication, data source, sample size, country of origin, ethnicity, age, gender, antiretroviral therapy, MSK condition prevalence, and anatomical location. RESULTS The search identified 10 522 articles. Of these, 27 studies were included after full-text screening for data extraction. Studies were conducted in thirteen different countries with diverse data sources such as outpatient clinic files, hospital records, primary care clinic files, and AIDS Service Organization files. PLWHAs have a variety of MSK conditions. Most studies reported spinal pain such as lower back or neck pain, but pain in the extremities and osteoarthritis (OA) were also represented. However, the frequencies of pain at various anatomical sites were highly variable. CONCLUSION There is a lack of knowledge regarding MSK conditions in PLWHAs. Future studies designed to specifically study MSK complaints and disabilities are needed to gain a better picture of the impact of these conditions in PLWHAs and to inform prevention and treatment strategies globally in this often-underserved population.

Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2021; 72:102989. [PMID: 34849216 PMCID: PMC8608889 DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102989] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2021] [Revised: 10/18/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Work-related musculoskeletal disorder is a major and frequently underappreciated problem on people, countries, healthcare services, and society as a whole. Not only have detrimental health impacts, but it had considerable damage on healthcare services and costs. Objective The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal diseases among health care providers working in the operating room of University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital and Tibebe Ghion comprehensive specialized hospital, North West Ethiopia, 2021. Method Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 394 healthcare providers. Purposive sampling was used to select the study participants. Data were collected through a self-administer questionnaire using the standard Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and bivariate logistic regression were done to identify factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Variables with P-value≤ 0.05 with 95% confidence interval in a multivariate model were taken as statistically significant. Finally, AOR with 95% confidence interval at a P-value<0.05 was reported. Result The prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorder among study participants was 64.2% with 95% CI: (59.4, 69.0). In multivariate logistic regression analysis; working overtime [AOR:1.74; 95% CI (1.05, 2.86)], previous history of MSD [AOR:6.85; 95%CI:(1.91, 22.7)], being diploma holder [AOR:5.27; 95% CI (1.12, 24.68)], being 1st degree holder [AOR:2.65; 95% CI (1.11, 6.28)], absence of assistance during procedures [AOR:1.73; 95% CI (1.02, 2.85)], and working in night shifts [AOR:1.72; 95% CI (1.08, 2.74)] were significantly associated with work related musculoskeletal disease among health care providers working in operation room. Conclusion A high proportion of hospital care providers working in the operation room reported MSD at different body parts. Lower back pain was the most often complained. Working overtime, not having assistance during procedures, educational status (diploma and 1st degree holder), and working at night shifts were statistically significant associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clarity on what constitutes a palliative care need is essential to ensure that health systems and clinical services deliver an appropriate response within Universal Health Coverage. AIM To synthesise primary evidence from Africa for palliative care needs among patients and families with serious illness. DESIGN We conducted a mixed methods systematic review with sequential synthesis design. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42019136606) and included studies were quality assessed using Mixed Method Appraisal Tool. DATA SOURCES Six global literature databases and Three Africa-specific databases were searched up to October 2020 for terms related to palliative care, serious illnesses and Africa. Palliative care need was defined as multidimensional problems, symptoms, distress and concerns which can benefit from palliative care. RESULTS Of 7810 papers screened, 159 papers met eligibility criteria. Palliative care needs were mostly described amongst patients with HIV/AIDS (n = 99 studies) or cancer (n = 59), from East (n = 72) and Southern (n = 89) Africa. Context-specific palliative care needs included managing pregnancy and breastfeeding, preventing infection transmission (physical); health literacy needs, worry about medical bills (psychological); isolation and stigma, overwhelmed families needing a break, struggling to pay children's school fees and selling assets (social and practical needs); and rites associated with cultural and religious beliefs (spiritual). CONCLUSIONS Palliative care assessment and care must reflect the context-driven specific needs of patients and families in Africa, in line with the novel framework. Health literacy is a crucial need in this context that must be met to ensure that the benefits of palliative care can be achieved at the patient-level.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic pain is common in people living with HIV (PLWH). It causes significant disability and poor HIV outcomes. Despite this, little is understood about its etiology and management. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies suggest that chronic pain in PLWH is caused by inflammation that persists despite viral load suppression. This coupled with central sensitization and psychosocial factors leads to chronic pain that is difficult to manage. PLWH with chronic pain often feel that their pain is incompletely treated, and yet there are few evidence-based options for the management of chronic pain in PLWH. Recent studies suggest that an approach pairing pharmacotherapy and nonpharmacologic therapy may address the complex nature of chronic in PLWH. Chronic pain in PLWH is common yet poorly understood. Further research is needed in order to better understand the etiology of chronic pain and its optimal management.

Neuropathic pain in Mali: The current situation, comprehensive hypothesis, which therapeutic strategy for Africa? eNeurologicalSci 2021; 22:100312. [PMID: 33537467 PMCID: PMC7841313 DOI: 10.1016/j.ensci.2021.100312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2020] [Revised: 12/23/2020] [Accepted: 12/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION According to the taxonomy of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP 2011), neuropathic pain (NeuP) is defined as "pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system". NeuP is currently well-defined clinically, despite a high degree of etiological variation, and it has become a significant public health problem. This work aimed to study the situation regarding NeuP in current practice in Mali, as well as to analyze the therapeutic environment of the patients. METHODOLOGY This was a retrospective and cross-sectional study, carried out in two phases: (1) compilation of the files of patients according to the ICD-11, over a period of 24 months (2) a second prospective phase regarding the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) of general practitioners and neurologists in regard to NeuP. The focus of the first phase of the study was the files of the patients who had undergone a consultation at the Gabriel Touré UHC. The second phase of the study focused on the general practitioners (Community Health Centers (comHC) of Bamako) and neurologists (Malian or not). RESULTS Over the period of the study, 7840 patients were seen in consultation in the Department of Neurology, of whom 903 for NeuP, thus amounting to a NeuP frequency of 11.5%. Women accounted for 58.9% (532/903), with a sex ratio of 1.4. Using a comparative normal law, the difference in frequency was statistically significant between males and females (p < 10-7) and between two age groups (p 〈10-3). The 49-58 years of age group was represented the most. Diabetic NeuP (21%), lumbar radiculopathies (14%), HIV/AIDS NeuP (13%), and post-stroke NeuP (11%) were the most represented. The survey among the carers revealed: a need for training, a low level of compliance with the therapeutic guidelines, and the use of traditional medicine by the patients. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION This work confirms that NeuP is encountered frequently in current practice, and its optimal management will involve specific training of carers and improvement of access to the medications recommended in this indication. In light of this issue, we revisit the debate regarding the concept of essential medications and the relevance of taking into account effective medications for the treatment of NeuP.
