How prepared is Mozambique to treat COVID-19 patients? A new approach for estimating oxygen service availability, oxygen treatment capacity, and population access to oxygen-ready treatment facilities

International Journal for Equity in Health (2021)

Abstract Background This study aims to assess the COVID-19 response preparedness of the Mozambican health system by 1) determining the location of oxygen-ready public health facilities, 2) estimating the oxygen treatment capacity, and 3) determining the population coverage of oxygen-ready health facilities in Mozambique. Methods This analysis utilizes information on the availability of oxygen sources and delivery apparatuses to determine if a health facility is ready to deliver oxygen therapy to patients in need, and estimates how many patients can be treated with continuous oxygen flow for a 7-day period based on the available oxygen equipment at health facilities. Using GIS mapping software, the study team modeled varying travel times to oxygen-ready facilities to estimate the proportion of the population with access to care. Results 0.4% of all health facilities in Mozambique are prepared to deliver oxygen therapy to patients, for a cumulative total of 283.9 to 406.0 patients-weeks given the existing national capacity, under varying assumptions including ability to divert oxygen from a single source to multiple patients. 35% of the population in Mozambique has adequate access within one-hour driving time of an oxygen-ready health facility. This varies widely by region; 89.1% of the population of Maputo City was captured by the one-hour driving time network, as compared ot 4.4% of the population of Niassa province. Conclusions The Mozambican health system faces the dual challenges of under-resourced health facilities and low geographic accessibility to healthcare as it prepares to confront the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis also illustrates the disparity between provinces in preparedness to deliver oxygen therapy to patient, with Cabo Delgado and Nampula being particularly under-resourced.

Spatial analysis of tobacco outlet density on secondhand smoke exposure and asthma health among children in Baltimore City

Tobacco Control (2022)

Parisa Kaviany James P. Senter Joseph M. Collaco Anne E. Corrigan Emily Brigham

Rationale Tobacco outlets are concentrated in low-income neighbourhoods; higher tobacco outlet density is associated with increased smoking prevalence. Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure has significant detrimental effects on childhood asthma. We hypothesised there was an association between higher tobacco outlet density, indoor air pollution and worse childhood asthma. Methods Baseline data from a home intervention study of 139 children (8–17 years) with asthma in Baltimore City included residential air nicotine monitoring, paired with serum cotinine and asthma control assessment. Participant addresses and tobacco outlets were geocoded and mapped. Multivariable regression modelling was used to describe the relationships between tobacco outlet density, SHS exposure and asthma control. Results Within a 500 m radius of each participant home, there were on average six tobacco outlets. Each additional tobacco outlet in a 500 m radius was associated with a 12% increase in air nicotine (p<0.01) and an 8% increase in serum cotinine (p=0.01). For every 10-fold increase in air nicotine levels, there was a 0.25-point increase in Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaire (ATAQ) score (p=0.01), and for every 10-fold increase in serum cotinine levels, there was a 0.54-point increase in ATAQ score (p<0.05). Conclusions Increased tobacco outlet density is associated with higher levels of bedroom air nicotine and serum cotinine. Increasing levels of SHS exposure (air nicotine and serum cotinine) are associated with less controlled childhood asthma. In Baltimore City, the health of children with asthma is adversely impacted in neighbourhoods where tobacco outlets are concentrated. The implications of our findings can inform community-level interventions to address these health disparities.

Alternative Medicine for the Treatment of Psoriasis

Psoriasis Forum (2013)

Amir Zahir Parisa Kaviany Alison Ehrlich

The use of complementary and alternative medicine has an estimated prevalence of about 51% amongst patients with psoriasis. The relatively lower costs, perceived fewer side effects, and versatile use alone or in combination with standard psoriasis treatments have increased its appeal. Clinical trials and case reports have investigated the use of dietary supplements, herbs, gluten-free diet, acupuncture, psychotherapy, meditation, and hypnosis for the treatment of psoriasis. Fish oil, vitamin D, inositol, curcumin, indigo naturalis, Aloe vera, capsaicin, and Mahonia aquifolium have shown some efficacy in some of the clinical trials covered in this review. Gluten-free diets and the use of meditation and stress-reduction exercises also have shown to help improve the clinical symptoms of psoriasis. Knowledge of these treatments can help dermatologists educate their patients who are interested in alternative remedies for psoriasis.

Patterns and Predictors of Air Cleaner Adherence Among Adults with COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases Journal of the COPD Foundation (2022)

Wendy Lorizio Han Woo Meredith C. McCormack Chen Liu Nirupama Putcha

Rationale: Poor indoor air quality has been associated with worse chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) morbidity. In-home portable air cleaners reduce indoor pollutants and could improve respiratory health. Factors associated with air cleaner adherence among adults with COPD remains unknown.
