Article Synopsis
- Alchornea cordifolia, also known as Christmas Bush, has traditional use in Africa for treating sickle cell anemia, but its active compounds needed further identification.
- Sequential fractionation and in vitro assays revealed that methanol extracts from its leaves can significantly reduce sickling in affected blood samples, with a purified compound showing even higher efficacy.
- Identified as quercitrin, this compound not only inhibits sickling but also normalizes changes in blood metabolomes, which could aid in developing new treatments for sickle cell anemia.
Background: Global HIV funding cutbacks have been accompanied by the adoption of user fees to address funding gaps in treatment programs. Our objective was to assess the impact of user fees on HIV care utilization and medication adherence in Nigeria.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients enrolled in care before (October 2012-September 2013) and after (October 2014-September 2015) the introduction of user fees in a Nigerian clinic.
