Recently published in @jiasociety we evaluated metabolic syndrome among adults living with and without HIV in Zambia and Zimbabwe. More studies are needed to understand cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in Africa doi.org/10.1002/jia2.2…

Few studies have evaluated the association between #HIV viral replication and cardiovascular and metabolic disease in Africa. @ChihotaBV and team are contributing important data from #Zambia, #Zimbabwe. Congratulations, all!

Wide variation in trends in the number of articles published by four gold #OpenAccess publishers, 2013-2021. I wonder to what extent trends reflect acceptance rates and quality of #PeerReview. @MDPIOpenAccess @Hindawi @FrontiersIn @PLOS

Hypertension can be easily detected, yet fewer than half of adults are diagnosed and treated: a fact motivating our latest NCD private sector dialogue on medicines and health technologies! ✅ Newsflash sign up! confirmsubscription.com/h/d/08C3E79B95… 😀 Read more: createsend.com/t/d-9BCEB2ECE3…

@MandiririArdele Can't wait to see all the amazing work you are going to do in this space!! #beatNCDs

A follow up step to this will be ensuring life saving chronic meds are made affordable for the ordinary person. There is futility in these screening initiatives without treating 😞😞

Glad to see this happening in primary care settings in Zimbabwe!!, great steps to controlling this growing NCDs problem.

@kel_c_guy @AcademicChatter @Momademia I received this comment 2 weeks ago. "Poor english written and the manuscript should be reviewed by a native English speaker".

Have you all ever gotten a comment from a reviewer to have a "native" speaker look over your manuscript? Care to share? I see random tweets about this, but I'd love to hear more. @AcademicChatter @Momademia

Most scientists from the Global South are not able to afford Open Access (OA). An OA article can equal 3 or 4 of our monthly salaries or the full yearly amount of one of our grants. This discriminatory situation creates a double-standard in science dissemination.

Very disheartening to receive such comments from reviewers in 2022- "Few paragraphs are difficult to understand due to poor english. The manuscript should be reviewed by a native English speaker" As a non-native English speaker in #globalhealth ......

Non-communicable diseases account for 7 in 10 deaths worldwide. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are among the top 4. People living with HIV have increased CVD risk. We are interested in understanding the burden and risk factors for NCDs in 🇿🇼 and 🇿🇲. #Epidemiology #NCDs

Great presentation by @chihota_belinda, PhD student at @unibern on HIV infection, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 19%, with little difference between HIV-pos and HIV-neg people.
