Article Synopsis
- - This study explores the impact of Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disruptor known to affect male fertility, on the testicular mitochondria of male albino rats and tests the protective effects of seed oil (CMSO).
- - Six groups of rats were used, with varying doses of BPA and CMSO; the study measured mitochondrial enzyme activity, membrane potential, protein levels, and body weight post-exposure.
- - Results showed that BPA reduced key mitochondrial activities and rat body weight, but coadministration of CMSO helped restore these disrupted functions, suggesting CMSO could be a potential treatment for toxins like BPA.

Department of community and public Health, Faculty of Health Sciences Busitema University, Uganda.
Background: Given the global urgency to improve tuberculosis (TB) case detection, a renewed interest in active case finding (ACF) has risen. Missed TB cases pose a serious threat as they continue to fuel TB transmission in the community. We aimed to assess the feasibility of community based ACF for TB among people living in a pastoralist community in Uganda and determine its impact on case detection and treatment uptake.
