14. The Impact of Finance and Funding on Technology Adoption in Africa

Abstract

Although Sudan is a predominately agricultural economy, crop productivity is extremely low and does not exceed 30% of the level attained in research farms. Even though most farmers acknowledge the great benefits of technologies provided by research and academic institutions, they argue that most of these technologies are very expensive to adopt, and there is no source of funds to adopt them even if they were not expensive in the first place. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to address the impact of finance and funding on the adoption of agricultural technologies in the Sudan. This paper attempts to demonstrate how limitations of finance and funding could explain the failure of Sudanese farmers to adopt the available technology and raise productivity. Finally, a number of findings emerge regarding the government policies and strategic planning that will effectively help and support small farmers. These findings may help policy makers take appropriate and immediate measures to improve agricultural productivity in the Sudan.

34. Skin pigmentation due to minocycline treatment of facial dermatoses.

Subjects

Abstract

Fifty-four patients taking minocycline for acne or rosacea were assessed for adverse effects. Their mean duration of treatment was 17 months, and their average cumulative dose was 47 g. No symptoms attributable to the therapy were reported. Biochemistry and haematology profiles were normal. There was no evidence of an adverse effect on thyroid function. Skin pigmentation was detected in eight patients (14·8%). Five patients had diffuse facial pigmentation, and three patients had localized pigmentation at the site of a scar or injury. Diffuse pigmentation occurred only in patients who had been on treatment for 3 years or more: 50% of such patients were affected. Age and solar damage may also have been factors in this type of pigmentation. Localized pigmentation occurred at sites of previous tissue damage, and was not directly related to the duration of therapy. Patients who receive long-term minocycline therapy should be regularly monitored for the development of pigmentation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

35. Effective intravenous cyclosporin therapy in a patient with severe Crohn's disease on parenteral nutrition.

Author

Allam, B F, Tillman, J E, Thomson, T J, Crossling, F T, and Gilbert, L M

Abstract

We report a patient with severe Crohn's disease and the short bowel syndrome on parenteral feeding who was not responding to conventional therapy and underwent treatment with cyclosporin (CyA) given initially intravenously and subsequently orally in each of two courses. Plasma drug concentrations were largely kept within the therapeutic range but wide variability was observed on oral therapy. Improvement both clinically and by objective assessment, was observed on intravenous CyA therapy, but was not sustained when the drug was given orally for several months. None of the side effects observed resisted treatment or was severe enough to warrant discontinuation of therapy. These findings suggest that there may be a place for intravenous CyA therapy in patients with severe Crohn's disease who do not respond to conventional therapy or to oral treatment with CyA.

39. Do Anticonvulsant Drugs Commonly Induce Osteomalacia?

Author

Fogelman, I., Gray, J. M. B., Gardner, M. D., Beastall, G. H., McIntosh, W. B., Allam, B. F., Boyce, B. F., Boyle, I. T., and Lawson, D. H.

Abstract

Twenty adult epileptic out-patients who had received anticonvulsant therapy for a mean duration of 15 years were assessed for clinical, biochemical, radioisotopic and bone biopsy evidence of osteomalacia. Occasional biochemical abnormalities were demonstrated but no individual subject was found to have osteomalacia. There is increasing evidence to cast doubt on the existence of a strong relationship between anticonvulsant drugs and osteomalacia. This evidence is reviewed and it is concluded that in the presence of adequate sunlight exposure anticonvulsant therapy alone is most unlikely to lead to osteomalacia in adults.

41. Ocular involvement in sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy.

Author

Karcioglu, Z A, Allam, B, and Insler, M S

Abstract

Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy is a distinct clinical entity, with ophthalmic involvement in 10% of patients. Orbital as well as eyelid lesions have been described as part of the extra-lymph node involvement of this disorder. We recently examined a young boy with sinus histiocytosis with a bulbar conjunctival mass and chronic dacryocystitis. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

42. The significance of the incidental finding of basal ganglia calcification on computed tomography.

Author

Harrington, M G, Macpherson, P, McIntosh, W B, Allam, B F, and Bone, I

Abstract

Basal ganglia calcification was found as an incidental finding in 42 out of 7000 patients who underwent computed tomography. The calcification showed on plain skull radiography when the maximum density on computed tomography exceeded 100 Hounsfield units. The 26 patients with basal ganglia calcification detected on computed tomography who were available for follow-up, were investigated with matched controls. No clinical features of basal ganglia calcification were noted. Twenty-four patients had no significant metabolic abnormality and two patients had parathyroid disorder identified.
