“…What we didWe carried out surveys in the Middle East, South Africa, and Türkiye between June and September 2022.We surveyed 1788 people living with kidney disease and anemia, and 217 of their doctors.We asked about symptoms experienced by people living with kidney disease and anemia, and which treatments they received for their anemia.What we foundPeople living with kidney disease and anemia experienced many different symptoms.Lack of energy was the most common.People living with kidney disease and anemia mentioned symptoms more frequently than their doctors.Almost 40% of people living with kidney disease did not receive any treatment for their anemia.The most common treatment was iron combined with drugs that increase production of red blood cells (erythropoietin-stimulating agents).What does this mean?To improve communication and care, doctors should be made aware of how much the symptoms of anemia affect the lives of people living with kidney disease.Disclaimer: This plain language summary represents the opinions of the authors. …”

Authority and Moral Conflicts in the Films of Adébáyọ Fálétí: Àfọ̀njá, Gáà, Ṣawo Ṣẹ̀gbẹ̀rì and the Yorùbá Cosmopolis by Olayinka Agbetuyi

“…In Àfọ̀njá and Gáà that context is provided by the empire phase of Yorùbá civilization in which Yorùbá civilization was the dominant point of reference; in Ṣawo Ṣẹgbẹ ̀ rì ̀ the drama is situated in the context of postcolonial Nigerian city, in a nation that boasts large ethnic nationalities of which the Yorùbá are only one and in which Yorùbá culture is mediated by the postcolonial state with its symbol of the English language as the means of communication and its cultural spin offs. Fálétí demonstrates the mastery of dramaturgy in Àfọ̀njá and Gáà by juxtaposing the dynamics of running a state originally built on a confederation of city state structure very much like the Greek city state structure, at the latter’s comparative stage of political evolution, with a new imperial structure and the conflicts generated by the flux of the two systems; whereas in Ṣawo Ṣẹ̀gbẹ̀rì moral conflict is generated by interpersonal amatorial clashes as well as models of expertise. …”
