This study explores the effectiveness of the traditional First Nations practice of storytelling as a tool in improving Community Health Nurse (CHN) continuing education, regarding tuberculosis (TB) programming in First Nations communities. The first part of this study involves a critical analysis of literature regarding the evolution of Canada’s First Nations policies and health care, and the use of storytelling as a learning tool in Western and First Nations contexts.

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common opportunistic infection in HIV-infected patients and the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a growing problem in resource-limited settings (RLS). TB diagnosis in most RLS still depends on smear microscopy for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) while adequate infrastructure for testing drug sensitivity is unavailable. However, molecular diagnostics that detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) DNA and its genetic markers of drug resistance were recently developed. In this thesis I describe the use of a molecular diagnostic, Genotype MTBDRplus, for c

The model takes into account two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), where one strain is drug-sensitive and the other is resistant to at least one of the first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. The impact of TB superinfection on the incidence and prevalence of TB in HIV-negative and HIVTB coinfected individuals is evaluated. Various control measures such as condom use,

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is one of the leading causes of death globally, especially in low and middle-income countries.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to a single infectious disease and remains a major threat to global public health. The increasing emergence of multi-drug resistance to current anti-TB drugs, exacerbated by the long treatment duration, highlights the need for new effective treatments or strategies to shorten the treatment duration, improve patient adherence and curb the alarming rates of resistance. A key challenge to current strategies employed in the development of anti-TB drugs is the complexity in TB disease pathology which presents as a wide spectrum of lesions in patie

Utilizou-se para este propósito indicadores epidemiológicos e de desempenho construídos a partir de dados das fichas de notificação de tuberculose (TB) armazenadas no sistema de informação o EPI-Tb, da Secretaria municipal de saúde deste município e os dados populacionais de estimativas do DATASUS, do período de estudo. Selecionaram-se para o estudo casos novos de TB notificados e residentes no município, por ano de diagnóstico, excluindo-se c

Abstract:
The Tuberculosis infection rate has been generally escalating due to poor health conditions in the Gweru district of Zimbabwe. The study therefore seeks to identify the risk factors that affect TB treatment in the Gweru district. A cross sectional study was carried out in which a questionnaire was employed for data collection on 113 respondents. A binary logistic regression model was employed for data analysis. A total of 98 TB patients were interviewed: [50 respondents (44.0%) had Multi-drug resistant Tuberculosis and 63 respondents (56.0%) had general Tuberculosis). Before being enrolled int

Thesis (MScMedSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an increasing global problem. Drug resistance is mostly caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the bacterial genome. This observed increase in global incidence of drug resistant tuberculosis (TB) has sparked the search for new anti-TB drugs and the repurposing of drugs that are currently used against other organisms or species of mycobacteria. One such repurposed drug, clofazimine (CFZ), is currently used for the treatment of leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium

Abstract:
Integration of health services involves managing services to enhance quality for patient needs that cut across multiple services, providers and settings. The rapid growth of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has increased tuberculosis (TB) cases, and TB/HIV integration offers a unified strategy for control. This study evaluated TB/HIV integration in Ghana. The three sites evaluated applied varying degrees of integration. A mixed methods approach comprised an uncontrolled before-and-after study involving 1330 TB cases, and qualitative interviews with 29 providers and patients. TB treatment suc

Abstract:
Using a multiple stage age of infection model, we derive an expression for the basic reproduction number, Ro. We apply this method to find Ro in analogous treatment models. We find, in the model without treatment, Ro depends only on the mean infective period, and not on the infective distribution. In treatment models, Ro depends on the mean infective and mean treatment period, as well as the distribution of the infective period, but not on the distribution of the treatment period. With an explicit formula for Ro and the final size relation, we provide a practical alternative to evaluating the

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading killer globally owing to an infectious disease. There is consequently an urgent need to develop novel TB drugs and shorter regimens to treat the causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an imperative which demands the identification of new drug targets in essential mycobacterial pathways. To that end, the work presented in this dissertation aimed to functionally characterize ribF, an essential gene in the mycobacterial riboflavin (RF; vitamin B2) biosynthetic pathway. Given the role of RF as a core component of the essential flavin cofactors, flavin mononuc

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It usually affects the lungs (pulmonary TB) but can also affect other parts of the body (extrapulmonary TB). According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) report in 2020, TB is one of the top ten leading causes of death worldwide and the main cause of death from infectious disease, ranked above HIV/AIDS. TB treatment is challenging and requires early diagnosis, effective chemotherapy regimens, and drug-resistance screening. Therefore, development of shorter and simpler drug regimens that are safe, suitable for
