Diabetes in sub-Saharan Africa
The Lancet, 2010In Sub-Saharan Africa, prevalence and burden of type 2 diabetes are rising quickly. Rapid uncontrolled urbanisation and major changes in lifestyle could be driving this epidemic.

Spondyloarthropathies in sub-Saharan Africa
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2000HLA-B27 is virtually absent in most of the sub-Saharan Africa populations, and ankylosing spondylitis is rare; only a few patients have been reported from central and southern Africa. HLA-B27 was present in only one of 17 patients (6%). The disease shows clinical features that are similar to those observed in white HLA-B27-negative patients with ...

Dispersal in Sub-Saharan Baboons
Folia Primatologica, 1992In most mammalian species, males tend to leave their natal group and disperse farther than females, while females tend to be philopatric. Primates generally follow this rule, although long-term studies of a variety of species are revealing an increasing number of exceptions.

Amyloidosis in sub-Saharan Africa
Médecine et Santé Tropicales, 2012Amyloidosis is a protein folding disorder in which normally soluble proteins are deposited extracellularly as insoluble fibrils. When stained with Congo red dye, it produces apple-green birefringence under polarized light. The main amyloid proteins are AL, AA, ATTR and Aβ(2)-M. The incidence of amyloidosis in sub-Saharan Africa ranges from 0.28 to 0.57%

Spondyloarthritis in Sub-Saharan Africa
Current Rheumatology Reports, 2014Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is generally uncommon in sub-Saharan Africa, in part because of the rarity of HLA-B27 in this region. However, the relationship between HLA-B27 and SpA, particularly ankylosing spondylitis (AS), is complex. Despite the HLA-B 27:05 risk allele occurring in some West African populations, associated AS is not seen.

Malaria as a threat to health has remained undaunted in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It has been mathematically modelled, vertically attacked and continuously appraised and yet it continues unabated. Malaria is an acute and chronic disease caused by intracellular protozoa of the genus Plasmodium which are transmitted by the bite of female Anopheles ...
