Summary : While many high-income countries observe a relative decline in the population impact of heart disease and deal with the problem of an older patient population who readily survive earlier non-fatal encounters with the condition, Africa contends with a typically younger population with frequently advanced and often fatal heart disease. While high-income countries exclusively deal with non-communicable forms of heart disease, Africa contends with both communicable and non-communicable forms of heart disease. Designed to provide anyone with an interest in heart disease in Africa with an immediate sense of how the area is progressing from a clinical to research perspective in responding to this evolving epidemic Presents salient research uncovering the evolving burden of communicable and non-communicable forms of heart disease, Includes content on maternal heart disease, infant and childhood heart disease, risk and prevention, heart failure and other common forms of heart disease in rural and urban communities in Africa.

Summary : "In the Heart of Africa" by Sir Samuel W. Baker is a detailed account of his expedition to discover the sources of the Nile River, undertaken in 1861. Baker, accompanied by his wife, embarked on this challenging journey with the hope of meeting the East African expedition led by Captains Speke and Grant. The narrative begins with their departure from Cairo and their arduous crossing of the Nubian Desert, where they faced extreme heat and the threat of the simoom. Baker describes the desolate landscapes and the geological features they encountered, such as volcanic bombs and the barren plains of sand and pebbles. Upon reaching the Atbara River, they witnessed the dramatic change of the riverbed from a dry expanse to a flowing torrent, marking the onset of the rainy season in Abyssinia. This event provided Baker with insights into the Nile's sources, as the Atbara's waters contributed significantly to the Nile's flow. The journey continued through the fertile lands of the Taka country, where Baker observed the agricultural practices of the local tribes and the change of Egyptian rule on the region. The narrative also highlights the cultural aspects of the Arab tribes, including their customs, attire, and social structures. Baker's interactions with the local sheiks, particularly the venerable Sheik Achmet Abou Sinn, offer a glimpse into the hospitality and traditions of the desert people. Throughout the expedition, Baker's determination and resilience are evident as he navigates the challenges of the African wilderness, driven by his quest to uncover the mysteries of the Nile.

Summary : The Nubian desert--The bitter well--Change of plans--An irascible dragoman--Pools of the Atbara--One secret of the Nile--At Cassala. In March, 1861, I commenced an expedition to discover the sources of the Nile, with the hope of meeting the East African expedition of Captains Speke and Grant, that had been sent by the English Government from the South via Zanzibar, for the same object. I had not the presumption to publish my intention, as the sources of the Nile had hitherto defied all explorers, but I had inwardly determined to accomplish this difficult task or to die in the attempt.
