Doha: The medical convoy for eye disease treatment and anti blindness deployed by Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) to Sudan is in progress, having so.
Background
In this study, we aimed to study the frequency of hypertension in Sudanese patients with gouty arthritis attending the largest three tertiary hospitals in Khartoum and correlate it with serum uric acid levels.
Methodology
An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, hospital-based study was conducted in rheumatology clinics in Khartoum state, Sudan, from August 2020 to January 2021 involving 100 participants. Data were collected, prepared, and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA).
Results
In this study, 100 participants were enrolled. The majority were males (79%), with 45% of the participants in the age group of 61-75 years. Overall, 89% of participants had symptoms of gouty arthritis, with the knee being the most common joint affected in 27% of participants. Most participants had a uric acid level above the target (6 mg/dL). The most frequently used uric acid lowering agent was found to be allopurinol in 85% of the patients. Furth

Summary
Young people in care face many challenges in terms of their physical and mental health (McSherry et al., 2015; 2016). They are disproportionately children of single mothers who themselves are likely to have been in care due to experiencing child maltreatment, suggesting a pattern of intergenerational transmission of maltreatment and trauma (McSherry et al., 2010; Stratford, Julian & Shelley, 2019).
Data from the Department of Education (2015) indicates that 25% of girls in care fall pregnant before the age of 18, and are three times more likely to get pregnant that non-care peers. They are also at increased risk of having their child removed (Broadhurst et al., 2015). The authors are unaware of any interventions to date that have attempted to break this intergenerational cycle.
