Airwolf 3D launches first hot-end for Polycarbonate and Nylon printing
Airwolf 3D has just announced the launch of its first hot-end for 3D printers that allows customers to print in engineering-grade materials such as polycarbonate, Bridge Nylon and Nylon 645. The new JRx Hot-End is patent pending and not only allows users to print in the hotter temperature range of Nylon and PC, but also retains printing capabilities in the ABS and PLA ranges as well.
"Printing polycarbonate is the holy grail for prosumer 3D printers," stated Erick Wolf, president and founder of Airwolf 3D. "Personally, however, I think printing nylon is going to explode because it is incredibly strong and has almost unlimited applications. You can even dye different layers to get multi-colored products. Bridge nylon, for example, has been reformulated to meet the growing demand for the material. At 270 degrees Celsius (518 degrees Fahrenheit) we find the layer-to-layer adhesion is superb and the prints stick uniformly to our heated bed. When dealing with nylon at lower temperatures there tends to be trial and error to achieve ideal layer strength. That won't happen with our new JRx hot end."

This video of a quad-copter flying through a firework show is amazing
Let's face it, quad-copters are quickly becoming the hottest trend in tech, and the amazing shots they are affording us are more than spectacular. A new video has surfaces that shows a DJI Phantom quad-copter flying right into the middle of a fireworks show and gives us a view from above like never before.
One would expect that anyone flying a $1300 quad-copter would keep it far away from explosions as possible, but that does not seem to be the case here. The pilot even manages to fly right inside the sphere of sizzling fireballs without taking any damage at all. This gives me a whole new idea on what to do this 4th of July with the quad-copter I am currently building.

Staples to offer consumers on-demand and on-site 3D printing service
It looks like Staples is about to offer its US-based consumers the option to print products on-demand, and on-site using 3D printers. The retailer will offer action figures and personalized Starfleet officers to walk-in consumers.
Staples has added that it wants to get the attention of small businesses with its new 3D printing venture. Consumers on the other hand will have access to up to seven different printers and six differing types of materials in-store, including the Cube and Cube X models that Staples already offers. The larger goods will be handed over to 3D Systems, which is the company who printed a 3D-printed guitar.
The retailer will also be offering up trained graphic design consultants, where they'll help consumers model their vision to reality. At the moment, there is no ETA on when Staples will be rolling this out, but it shouldn't be too far away now.
SoundsCape is a new audio add-on board for the BeagleBone and BB Black
Many of you reading this will know my fondness for the popular BeagleBone Black development board, and how much I love new accessories for it. Today I caught wind of a new Kickstarter campaign that is looking to bring high-quality analogue and Bluetooth audio to the BeagleBone and BeagleBone Black development boards.

Selfie shooting mirror puts pics on Twitter automatically
I'm sure you know someone who floods their social networks with selfies. Perhaps you are the person your friends know that posts selfies constantly. We aren't judging here.
If you are the sort that likes taking selfies, you might appreciate this cool mirror that will snap the picture for you and automatically upload it to twitter. The mirror has a Mac mini stuffed inside. The LEDs you see in the image countdown to when the selfie is taken so you aren't caught with your eyes closed.
The Mac runs facial recognition software so it recognizes the user and automatically takes the image when you step in front. The mirror is called S.E.L.F.I.E., which stands for Self Enhancing Live Feed Image Engine. After the selfie is taken, it brands the images with a company logo and puts it on Twitter.

Reflowster turns your toaster oven into managed solder reflow oven
Discrete electronic components such as resistors, capacitors and even larger IC's are shrinking down smaller every year, and that makes it harder for the average home maker or hobbyist to create their own DIY circuit boards. The difficulty comes in melting the solder paste that is used to affix the components to the PCB's circuitry. Why something as simple as a hotplate can do this, certain pad configurations and joint specifications require the "Reflow" process to be done in stages of varying temperature. In the past toaster ovens have been used for this and manually controlled, but that process was time consuming.
Reflowster is a new product which has just went live on Kickstarter that aims at making the toaster oven reflow method much more accurate while automating the temperature ramping process. Reflowster is basically a smart-outlet that is controlled by an Arduino-compatible microcontroller that utilizes a thermocouple temperature probe to turn the power to the toaster oven on and off to regulate the temperature. This allows the user to create custom temperature ramp profiles based on the instructions provided by various solder paste manufacturers. $100 is all it takes to get your own Reflowster which will begin shipping at the end of the year.

Netfabb's .STL file cloud repair service is now Microsoft Model Repair
3D printing enthusiast world wide have at some point used Netfabb's cloud service to repair .STL files that were not solid meshes and not manifold. Over the last few years the service's popularity has grew can that has caused the service to slow down quite a bit. On Friday Netfabb announced that it has partnered up with Microsoft to host the cloud service on Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform.
The new service is called Microsoft Model Repair, and uses Netfabb technology at its core to provide a more powerful and efficient mesh repairer that can scale as its popularity continues to grow. Instead of each model being issued a separate download key like before, Microsoft Model Repair uses your Microsoft Account credentials to securely store your fixed files. This greatly cuts down on the time it takes to get the file back to you after repair too, and users will notice a increase in speed with most repairs taking just seconds.

The new Raspberry Pi is here and it's not what anyone expected
Its been more than two years since the first Raspberry Pi was shipped, and today the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced a new way to get your Pi on. The new Raspberry Pi Compute Module is based on the SO-DIMM form factor that is popular with DDR2 and DDR3 RAM in many modern laptops, but do not confuse that as being compatible with the SO-DIMM port on your laptop because it is not. The Raspberry Pi foundation says that this new form factor is designed to help makers embed their Raspberry Pi projects into final products.
The new Raspberry Pi compute module features a Broadcom BCM2835 chip with 512MB RAM with an on board 4GB eMMC Flash memory for booting the OS. The overall footprint of the device is 65mm x 30mm and its 200 pin edge connector allows the full i/o and other pins from the BCM 2835 chip to be utilized instead of just 19 I/O like the original Raspberry Pi.

Making a tile wall hanging
At a recent fundraiser, this was one of the projects that I taught. I think that it makes a nice and quick little gift for someone. Since Mother's Day is coming up, I thought it would be nice to tell the steps on how to make this.
First, I bought a sheet of bathroom tiles from Home Hardware and cut off all of the little rubber pieces that held it together. I didn't coat the tile with anything. I stamped the flowers in black stazon, then I masked them. I stamped the french script background in Classic Chocolate Chip ink, then sponged the sides. Next, I used my pastels to shade in the flowers. Note: for the white I did put a base using a versamarker so it would "pop" off the tile. Then, I sprayed it lightly with two coats of a clear acrylic spray (I use Krylon).
For the back, I used crystal effects to attach the ribbon. So it didn't look so choppy, I covered the back with Sahara Sand cardstock squares that were the same size as the tile. Now the tiles that I used were about $4 for a sheet and I was able to make about 9 of these from one sheet.

That is an awesome idea. I was reading thinking, is there a way to take black and white photos, burned around edges and put those on there with some journaling..then would you use that spray over that or a special one to preserve the photo?

These are a cute idea. What size are the tiles?
Thanks for sharing.

The tiles are 2"x2" and I got them at home depot. All of the tiles are bathroom floor tiles. They come attached to each other on a grid of rubber. If you use an Xacto knife, you can very easily get the rubber off.

Title: Manhattan Bridge View Jigsaw Puzzle
About: In today's new jigsaw puzzle we're going to New York for an interesting view of the Manhattan Bridge. The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan with Downtown Brooklyn. The bridge opened to traffic on December 31, 1909. It was designed by Leon Moisseiff. The Manhattan Bridge was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. The bridge has four vehicle lanes on the upper level, split between two roadways. The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway.

Fire Cider aka The One Thing You Have To Make This Season
Get ready to come alive, Sakaralite. It's Fire Cider season, and we've created a Sakara-fied concoction of the age old cider, only this time, infused with suer adaptogenic, beautifying, nourishingly healing powers.
As the days get chillier, and the afternoons gets drearier, our immune systems get attacked by more elements than just the weather. The increasing physical darkness around us creates inner tension and emotional turmoil. All of which in turn weaken our sensitive immune systems, leaving us sick and unable to show up for life and carpe that freaking diem.
This is the time of year where we tend to react to others more than we do act. Though the coming of winter is suppose to be the most merry time of the year, let's get real, it doesn't always feel that way. How do we get ahead of the darkness? By burning it away with fire. Support your digestive system, rev up your metabolism, and have energy you didn't know was possible in this kind of cold.
In this witchy looking jar, you'll find some of the everyday ingredients that come in your Sakara meal. You'll also find some additional goodies that we like to add to meals and tonics for that extra sexy punch every now and again.
Sakara-fied Fire Cider Recipe
5 cups of organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup horseradish, or burdock root, grated
1 head of garlic, grated
1 whole small onion, chopped
1/2 large knob of ginger, grated
1 tsp of cayenne pepper, or one fresh jalapeño pepper
1 tsp turmeric
the juice of 1 lemon
the peel of 1 orange
1/2 of a large beet, peeled + chopped
2 tsp schizandra berry
2 tsp ho shou wu
1 tbsp elderberries
a couple drops of trace minerals
1 tbsp of manuka honey (or more depending on your sweetness preference)
a sprinkle of rose hip petals
Make this beauty today, and allow it to sit out and ferment for 6-8 weeks (though, you can enjoy it now if you please). Once the fermentation process is complete, enjoy shots of it every day and every time you're feeling extra ill. Make this process your own, and whisper fall / winter intentions into the jar as you go. Seal it up, store it away, and bring it out when the time is right to shine your light (who doesn't love a good rhyme?) Here's to your health!

Danika & Vanda Lust – Toy and Toe
Released: January 7, 2014
Danika and Vanda Lust relax on a couch today, enjoying some magazines. But the fact that they are wearing sheer black pantyhose and blue denim shorts seems to be getting Danika very horny, because the Philippine beauty is soon worshipping Vanda's long legs and kissing her size 7.5 feet through the stretchy hose. This in turn sets off Vanda and she licks at Danika's size 6.5 toes through her tights too. Nipples get sucked also, but then when they take off their shorts and tops, the Hungarian blonde unveils her big surprise: a double dong in her pantyhose, one end already planted firmly in her twat and the other ready to be slid into Danika's box….

Personalized Skin Cream made from your Adult Stem Cells growth factors
As Seen on:
The Stern Center is proud to introduce Autokine-CM™ to patients in Seattle, Bellevue and across the Pacific Northwest.
Autokine-CM™ is the revolutionary main ingredient in the U Autologous Regenerative Product Suite made from your own Adult Stem Cells' growth factor.
These powerful cells found in body fat have the ability to repair and regenerate organs and tissues in the body, and have been harnessed for the first time into a personalized skin care experience.
A recent clinical trial showed a remarkable improvement in trial subjects' skin, including this patient who showed an 87% improvement in just 8 weeks.
Autokine-CM™ has the remarkable ability to help stimulate our skin's natural healing process and activate cellular renewal for rejuvenated, refreshed skin. Deep within the layers of skin, Autokine-CM™ helps stimulate fibroblasts to synthesize collagen and elastin production, improving skin's natural repairing capability. Youthfulness appears with every passing day of usage resulting in increased epidermal thickness, improved skin texture, and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Because each of us is unique, your Adult Stem Cells are equally unique.
Your treatment begins when Dr. Stern extracts a small amount of abdominal fat during a minimally invasive liposuction procedure. Then, your own stem cell growth factor is sent to Personal Cell Sciences where it is grown in their proprietary media culture. Then your cells secrete an individualized "fingerprint" of cytokines used to create Autokine-CM™ in personalized proportions.
As a result, U Autologous™ products are genetically unique to each of our clients.
By capturing all of your naturally secreted growth factors, your Autokine-CM™ works synergistically with your skins healing ability that is unique only to you and can not be reproduced by any other skin care product available today.
Considering Liposuction?
If you're considering a Liposuction procedure, be sure to ask Dr. Stern about these amazing new products during your consultation. The adipose tissue (the body fat Dr. Stern removes during a Liposuction procedure) is the largest resource of Adult Stem Cells in the human body.

What can you do if you are pregnant with no insurance
We haven't had insurance for our last two babies. We had home births which cost $1500 each so we would start paying our bill either right away or I'd take that total and divide it out over the rest of my pregnancy and I'd pay a set amount I determined so we'd have it paid off by the time baby arrived. Or we'd dip into whatever little savings we had.
It always pays to plan ahead but sometimes we can't. For hospital births sometimes going to financial aid can help you reduce your bill, get on payment plans or if you are in a lower income bracket get the bill eliminated all together.
There is also private insurance groups like Good Samaritan, Medishare and the like for Christians who do not have regular insurance. We've heard good things about them but have yet to come to the point of joining. It's on our list to do though...some day.

It's worth recalling that Pakistan 'A' have completed a successful tour of Sri Lanka and are presently touring Namibia and Zimbabwe.

A University of North Texas engineering student will be part of an exciting day at the Texas State Capitol in Austin. Robert Presley Smith, a senior who is studying mechanical and energy engineering, has been selected to take part in the Texas Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol.
Smith, grew up in Somerville, Texas, near College Station. He is currently part of UNT's Honors College and McNair Scholars Program. He credits the McNair program with giving him the ability to dig into deep research earlier than expected and in turn open up opportunities like Texas Undergraduate Research Day.
"My perspective was that research was for grad students," said Smith. "I didn't know undergraduate research was an option until I got into McNair. There is a good chance that my current work will be published and, without McNair, that wouldn't happen."
Smith is currently researching how to create electricity by using temperature difference. He uses the sun's rays to create heat on the top of a device. The warmth then goes down to the cool bottom surface of the device and the heat released creates power. He will present this work at the Texas National McNair Scholars Research Conference, which will be held Feb. 17-18 at UNT, and then again at the Texas Undergraduate Research Day in Austin March 28. He is only one of 75 students to participate in Texas Undergraduate Research Day event, which allows students to show off their work, tour the Capitol and observe their respective legislators.
"I'm not a traditional student," Smith said. "I'm older than many of my peers, but I knew I had to come back and finish my degree. The time I took off prepared me for the research I'm doing now."
Smith is a first generation college student who is set to graduate in May and then plans to pursue a master's degree here at UNT. He eventually wants to get a doctoral degree and aspires to work at a national research laboratory.

text: Project Description Forest City Enterprises understood the potential of The Edgeworth Building, a 1920s tobacco factory and warehouse on Richmond's historic Tobacco Row, to offer prime real estate for office and residential use with large windows, high ceilings and a breathtaking view of the James River and city skyline. Baskervill's final design beautifully juxtaposes an art deco theme with the building's historically industrial nature. A strategic combination of machine-like forms from the mid-1920s with present-day materials and construction makes The Edgeworth Building a truly unique addition to Tobacco Row. By listening carefully to the client and relying on in-depth knowledge of history, Baskervill created a masterpiece where businesses and individuals alike will thrive.

TB treatment initiation and adherence in a South African community influenced more by perceptions than by knowledge of tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health concern. Inadequate case finding and case holding has been cited as major barrier to the control of TB. The TB literature is written almost entirely from a biomedical perspective, while recent studies show that it is imperative to understand lay perception to determine why people seek treatment and may stop taking treatment. The Eastern Cape is known as a province with high TB incidence, prevalence and with one of the worst cure rates of South Africa. Its inhabitants can be considered lay experts when it comes to TB. Therefore, we investigated knowledge, perceptions of (access to) TB treatment and adherence to treatment among an Eastern Cape population.
An area-stratified sampling design was applied. A total of 1020 households were selected randomly in proportion to the total number of households in each neighbourhood.
TB knowledge can be considered fairly good among this community. Respondents' perceptions suggest that stigma may influence TB patients' decision in health seeking behavior and adherence to TB treatment. A full 95% of those interviewed believe people with TB tend to hide their TB status out of fear of what others may say. Regression analyses revealed that in this population young and old, men and women and the lower and higher educated share the same attitudes and perceptions. Our findings are therefore likely to reflect the actual situation of TB patients in this population.
The lay experts' perceptions suggests that stigma appears to effect case holding and case finding. Future interventions should be directed at improving attitudes and perceptions to potentially reduce stigma. This requires a patient-centered approach to empower TB patients and active involvement in the development and implementation of stigma reduction programs.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health concern. It is a major cause of illness and death worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries where it is fuelled by human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), by population increase where TB is most prevalent and by increased poverty
TB is the most common infection for the estimated 5.5 million South Africans living with HIV/AIDS (in a national population of some 48 million). The co-infection rate of HIV is estimated at 73 per cent in all TB cases. The estimated incidence of TB in South Africa is 692 per 100,000 people
Health seeking behaviour and non-adherence to therapy has been cited as major barrier to the control of TB
The TB literature is written almost entirely from a biomedical perspective. Recent studies show, however, that lay perceptions may explain why people seek and may stop taking treatment
Such research is still scarce. From the perspective of public health promotion, (cost-) effective treatment provision, individual wellbeing, and social welfare it is important to gain insight into the views of people regarding TB, especially among high risk populations such as the Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape is a South African province characterised by high levels of poverty and unemployment. TB is endemic in the Eastern Cape
Ethical approval
The Rhodes University Ethical Standards Committee approved this research project. All personal identifiers have been removed or disguised so the person(s) described are not identifiable and cannot be identified through the details of the story.
Sample design
An area-stratified sampling design was applied. Households were selected randomly in proportion to the total number of households in each neighbourhood. Within each of the 23 neighbourhoods, a random starting point was selected. Moving systematically through the neighbourhood, every tenth household was selected for inclusion. This method ensured that all households in all areas of Rhini stood an equal chance of being included in the survey. In each target household eligible respondents were identified. Eligibility criteria included adults over the age of 18 years with 6 months or more of residence in Rhini in the past year. One respondent per household was then selected using a Kish grid. The Kish grid provides a selection procedure by which eligible persons within the household stood an equal chance of being included in the survey
Administering questionnaires among households was carried out by Development Research Africa, a well-known organization experienced in undertaking national probability based samples in deep rural and urban areas. With few exceptions, all questions were closed-ended items for which a set of response options was supplied. The full list of options is given in the respective tables.
Results from a focus group discussion held in 2006 with people living in the community under study identified several beliefs, perceptions and attitudes toward TB, people with TB, adherence with TB treatment, health seeking behavior and TB treatment types
The focus group results also revealed specific perceptions and attitudes toward TB within this community. People think that irresponsible individuals who do not take their treatment are mainly to blame for spreading TB. Besides blaming those individuals, they accuse them of hiding their TB status for fear of what others might say. They also think that people who acquire TB through drinking and smoking are getting what they deserve and that TB patients are less respected within the community
Data analysis
Statistical analyses of attitudes and perceptions toward TB, adherence to TB treatment, health seeking behavior and TB treatment types consisted of frequency counts and percentages. Regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to test whether differences in age, gender and education level led to different knowledge scores and different attitudes and preferences toward TB, adherence to TB treatment, health seeking behavior and TB treatment types. We performed listwise deletion of missing cases in the regression analyses. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 16.0.
Respondent profile
An interview was obtained in 97.9% of the 1042 households targeted. Main reasons for not achieving an interview included non-availability of the respondent after four visits to the household, inability to give an interview for age or health reasons, and refusal due to disinterest or unwillingness.
In the 1020 households included in the final sample the majority (73%) of respondents were women. The median age of respondents was 38 years. Forty percent had completed some secondary education and 18% had matriculated. Approximately 7% had received post-matriculation education and training. Only 8% had no formal schooling.
These 1020 households counted 4245 persons. Just over a quarter (26%) were under 14 years of age. Some 43% were in the 15-59 years age group and 9.6% were over 60 years. The mean age was 30 years. The households included more women (56%) than men (44%)
The mean score on the TB knowledge test is 5.66 (with 8 being the highest score). 54% of the respondents believe TB to be an African disease and 60% believe that all TB patients will also develop HIV (Table

Knowledge of TB
Knowledge items
Correct score
TB is an African disease
Only people who live in poverty get infected with TB
Only people who are HIV positive get TB
Anyone can get infected with TB because the germs are in the air
TB can easily be cured these days if you take your treatment
If you have multi-drug resistant TB, it takes many months to be cured
There is no cure at present for extremely drug resistant TB
All people with TB develop HIV/AIDS
Lay experts' perceptions
To comprehend lay conceptualisations it is important to know the community's attitudes toward TB. Table
Table 2
Attitudes toward TB
Respondent believes people tend to hide when they have TB because they are afraid of what people say about them
Respondent believes it is mainly irresponsible people who do not take their treatment who are to blame for spreading TB
Respondent believes that people who get TB through drinking or smoking get what they deserve
Respondent believes that if you have TB people do not respect you
Table 3
Perceptions toward adherence
Adherence items
Most important thing that helps TB patients stay on treatment for 6 months
They stick to the rules of treatment
They want to show others that TB is like any other curable disease
They don't drink or smoke while on treatment
They want to be cured so they can get on with their lives
They have a sympathetic DOTS volunteer who helps them stay on treatment
They have support from family and friends
They have enough food to eat
They don't listen when people gossip about them
They are strong willed
First main reason TB patients stop taking their treatment before they are cured
They feel better and think they are cured
They are afraid people will talk badly about them when they go to the clinic to collect their pills
They do not want to be seen standing in the same queue as people collecting Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs)
They forget to take their medicine because they drink and smoke

Their families and friends are not supportive
Second main reason TB patients stop taking their treatment before they are cured
They forget to take their medicine because they drink and smoke

They do not want to be seen standing in the same queue as people collecting ARVs
Their families and friends are not supportive
They are afraid people will talk badly about them when they go to the clinic to collect their pills
They feel better and think they are cured
As first main reason why TB patients stop taking their treatment before they are cured, 54% of the respondents feel this is caused by "patients feel better and think they are cured", followed by "they are afraid people will talk badly about them when they go to the clinic to collect their pills" (28%). As the second main reason, respondents believe this is due to "they forget to take their medicine because they drink and smoke" (41%), followed by "they are irresponsible and cannot be bothered to take their medicine" (24%).
The perceptions regarding TB treatment seeking behaviors are presented in Table
Table 4
Perceptions toward treatment
TB treatment items

They are afraid that people will talk about their visit to the clinic
They don't want to cough into the specimen bottle
They are afraid that TB treatment will interfere with their social lives
There are long queues at the clinics
They are afraid they will lose their job/income
They are afraid that TB treatment will be unpleasant and difficult
They first wish to consult a traditional healer
Location where most TB patients prefer to take their daily treatment

Regression analyses were performed to test for different knowledge scores and different attitudes and preferences toward people with TB, TB treatment adherence, case finding and TB treatment types among men and women, young and old, lower and higher educated. We found very few differences in outcomes and do not present these (tabulated information is available on request). Regression analysis of the TB knowledge test showed no significant differences in age, gender and education. Logistic regression analysis of age, gender and education with attitudes toward people with TB, perceptions regarding first and second main reason why TB patients stop taking their treatment before they are cured and beliefs of the population on TB treatment preferences of TB patients also showed no significant differences between respondents. Logistic regression analyses of perception of the lay public regarding the most important thing that helps TB patients stay on treatment for 6 months, showed that men and women slightly disagree on the item that "they stick to the rules of treatment" is the most important reason for TB patients to stay on treatment (mentioned less by women). Younger people more often mention "they have support from family and friends" than do the older respondents. As to the most important reason why some people delay going to the clinic, the higher educated more often mention "there are long queues at the clinics" and slightly more women mention "they are afraid people will talk about their visit to the clinic".
Regression analyses revealed similar attitudes and perceptions for the young and the old, for men and women, and for the lower and higher educated -- suggesting that people in this population share the same attitudes and perceptions. Our findings are likely to reflect the actual situation of TB patients in this population. The more so because most respondents know people with TB in their immediate environment.
TB knowledge can be considered fairly good among this community. The perception on "respondent believes it is mainly irresponsible people who do not take their treatment who are to blame for spreading TB" did not imply stigma only. Since some level of the treatment failure is due to irresponsible people this is also an indicator of knowledge.
However, respondents mainly considered TB to be an African disease and were under the misconception that all TB patients will also develop HIV. This perceived link can be explained by the fact that TB is main cause of death among the estimated 5.5 million South Africans living with HIV/AIDS (>10% of the country's population). Indeed, the co-infection rate approaches 73% in TB patients among all age groups
The results are suggestive of a high level of stigmatization: a full 95% of respondents believe people with TB tend to hide their TB status because they are afraid of what others may say. People think that irresponsible individuals who do not take their treatment are mainly to blame for spreading TB. Besides blaming those individuals, they accuse them of hiding their TB status for fear of what others might say. They also think that people who acquire TB through drinking and smoking are getting what they deserve and that TB patients are less respected within the community. While research shows that the increased TB incidence and prevalence during the last decade is mainly due to population increase where TB is most prevalent, increase of HIV and increased poverty
More than half of the respondents believe that TB patients interrupt treatment because they think they are cured. This finding is interesting and justifies the need for improved communication and mutual understanding between care providers and patients. Implementing of interventions aimed at improving communication and mutual understanding between care providers and patients into this matter by the national tuberculosis program would improve TB treatment outcomes nationally. The second most important perception of respondents as main reason for non-adherence (they are afraid people will talk bad about them when they go to the clinic) is suggestive of stigma within the community. The fact that respondents mention this in their top 2 of most important reasons for default from treatment shows that people within this community believe stigma to be a real problem for adherence to TB treatment. This is in line with prior findings indicating that stigma plays a significant role in adherence
Furthermore, it is interesting that most respondents believe TB patients prefer active involvement by travelling to the hospital and clinics themselves, compared to having a family member or DOTS volunteer daily delivering the medicine at home.
The major limitation of our study is that we studied perception of the lay public only, not actual behavior. Since attitudes of the lay public play a central role in the patient's decision-making process it is important to gain insight into what actually influences an individual's decision to seek treatment and adherence to that treatment instead of looking at behavior only. However, after learning how these mechanisms work it is important to investigate whether changes in attitudes and perceptions also lead to actual behavior change. Therefore, it would be interesting to conduct a follow-up study amongst TB suspects, adherent and non-adherent TB patients to document actual behavior.
The reason why the majority of respondents were women and older people were overrepresented in comparison to general population figures could be related to the inherent limitation of the conventional Kish grid
The results of this study show that while TB "lay experts" knowledge seems fairly good, their perceptions suggest that stigma may play a significant role in case finding and case holding. Findings from this study are important in improving the societal supports to TB patients. It would seem, therefore, that community education should focus on improving attitudes and perceptions, thus potentially reducing stigma. It requires a patient centered approach, which starts with interventions targeting the intrapersonal level (empowerment, self help, advocacy and support group) to empower TB patients. The next step is involvement of TB patients in the development of stigma reduction programs at other levels
