BMC Health Services Research (2021) 21:159 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-021-06163-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Understanding health-seeking and adherence to treatment by patients with esophageal cancer at the Uganda cancer Institute: a qualitative study Nakimuli Esther1, Ssentongo Julius2 and Mwaka Amos Deogratius3* Abstract Background: In the low- and middle-income countries, most patients with esophageal cancer present with advanced stage disease and experience poor survival. There is inadequate understanding of the factors that influence decisions to and actual health-seeking, and adherence to treatment regimens among esophageal cancer patients in Uganda, yet this knowledge is critical in informing interventions to promote prompt health-seeking, diagnosis at early stage and access to appropriate cancer therapy to improve survival. We explored health-seeking experiences and adherence to treatment among esophageal cancer patients attending the Uganda Cancer Institute. Methods: We conducted an interview based qualitative study at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI). Participants included patients with established histology diagnosis of esophageal cancer and healthcare professionals involved in the care of these patients. We used purposive sampling approach to select study participants. In-depth and key informant interviews were used in data collection. Data collection was conducted till point of data saturation was reached. Thematic content analysis approach was used in data analyses and interpretations. Themes and subthemes

    Investigation of Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading to Urinary Tract Infections Among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Sub-Saharan Africa

    INVESTIGATION OF Common Bacterial Pathogens Leading TO Urinary TRACT INFECTIONS Among Patients WITH Diabetes Mellitus IN Sub-SaharAN Africa. Jackline NakkunguA A Department OF MicrOBIOLOGY, Faculty OF Health Sciences, University OF Kisubi, Kisubi, Uganda AbstrACT Background:A The RISK OF DIABETIC PATIENTS ACQUIRING UTIS IS HIGHER THAN THAT OF THEIR non-diabetic counterparts. This IS DUE TO THE DAMAGE ON THE URINARY BLADDER NERVES CAUSED BY HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEvels. This NERVE DAMAGE REDUCES THE ABILITY OF THE URINARY BLADDER TO SENSE THE PRESENCE OF URINE IN it. As A Result, URINE STAYS FOR A LONG TIME IN THE bladder, INCREASING THE GROWTH OF THE BACTERIA IN urine. UTI’S MAY LEAD TO EMPHYSEMATOUS Pyelonephritis, CYSTITIS IN females, RENAL AND PERIRENAL abscess, PAPILLARY NECRosis, XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS Pyelonephritis, AND FUNGAL infections. TherE IS LIMITED KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE BACTERIA AffECTING DIABETIC PATIENTS IN Uganda. Methodology: IN A CRoss-sectional STUDY, 76 DIABETIC PATIENTS AT Our Lady OF Consolata Kisubi Hospital HAD THEIR URINE SAMPLES COLLECTED AND ANALYZED FOR THE PRESENCE OF URo-bacterial PATHOGENS IN THE MICROBIOLOGY LABORATORY AT THE University OF Kisubi. Patients WERE INSTRUCTED ON HOW TO COLLECT MIDSTREAM urine, WHICH WERE CULTURED ON BLOOD AGAR AND MacConkEY AGAR plates. The BACTERIA WERE IDENTIfiED ACCORDING TO COLONY size, shape, AND hemolysis. SeVERAL BIOCHEMICAL TESTS WERE USED TO CONfiRM THE PRESENCE OF THE DIffERENT BACTERIA STRAINS FROM THE INDIVIDUAL SUBCULTURED COLONIES Results Escherichia COLI WAS THE MOST PREDOMINANT BACTERIUM ASSOCIATED WITH UTIS IN DIABETES MELLITUS WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF 42.3 %. This WAS FOLLOWED BY Klebsiella SPECIES WITH 21.1%, Staphylococcus AUREUS WITH 14.1%, StrEPTOCOCCUS SPECIES AT 11.76%, PrOTEUS SPECIES AT 5.8%, EnterOCOCCUS FAECALIS AT 3.5%, AND SerrATIA MARCESCENS WITH 1.17%.

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.
