Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a serious and chronic mental health disorder that poses significant challenges for patients, families, and society, particularly due to issues with treatment adherence impacting prognosis.
- A study involving 320 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia in Morocco identified that a majority (about 74%) were non-adherent to their medication, with factors like youth, lack of education, living alone, and severe symptoms contributing to this non-adherence.
- Findings also highlighted that non-adherent patients had more severe symptoms, poor insight into their condition, and experienced significant side effects from treatment, emphasizing the need for tailored management strategies to improve adherence and outcomes.

This study analyzed the relationship between intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) (IPTp-SP), the rate of multiple resistant parasites and of submicroscopic gametocyte carriage among pregnant women at the beginning of IPTp implementation in Gabon (2005) and six years after (2011). The detection of pfdhfr and pfdhps gene mutations was performed by PCR-RFLP in Plasmodium (P.) falciparum positive samples collected from pregnant women in 2005 and 2011.
