Abstract
BACKGROUND: We report the results of a phase IIB study investigating the safety and effectiveness of atorvastatin use with standard anti-TB drugs.METHODS: In this multicentre, open-labelled study, we recruited treatment-naÏve patients with uncomplicated pulmonary TB aged at least 18 years. Participants were randomly assigned to standard-of-care or standard-of-care plus oral dose of atorvastatin (40 mg) daily for 2 months. Primary end points were safety measured by the number of participants with severe adverse events and effectiveness measured by the number of participants with negative sputum culture. Secondary endpoint was chest X-ray (CXR) severity score.RESULTS: Of the 185 participants screened, 150 were enrolled and equally assigned to the standard-of-care and atorvastatin groups. Adverse event severity was similar in the two groups. There was increased frequency of muscle pain in the trial group (12/75, 16% vs. 4/75, 5%). For efficacy analysis, respectively 64 (97%) and 57 (85.1%) patients in the trial and control groups had culture-negative results (P = 0.02) and experienced a reduction in CXR severity score of respectively 37% and 22%, with a mean difference of 1.4-4.9%.CONCLUSION: Atorvastatin is safe and associated with improved microbiological and radiological outcomes in TB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is anemerging disease with a global spread that has affected millions of lives. In Nigeria, the third wave of the outbreak is being experienced with many patients requiring hospitalization. Being a novel disease, we characterized the clinical profile and outcomes of patients admitted into our isolation centre. METHODS A case series of 65 COVID-19 patients admitted at theIsolation Centre of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, from June 2020 to March 2021 is presented. Information on demographic characteristics, medical history, symptoms, treatment and outcomes was obtained. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25. RESULTS Most (47; 72.3%) patients were less than 65 years old and 39 (60.0%) were males. The commonest symptoms were cough (42; 64.6%), breathlessness (41; 63.1%), fever (40; 61.5%), muscle aches (40; 61.5%), and anosmia (16; 24.6%). Hypertension (41; 63.1%) and diabetes (18; 27.7%) were the most predominant comorbidities. Forty-three patients (66.2%) had supplemental oxygen therapy. The majority (44; 70%) of patients were admitted for 10 days or less and 58 (89.3%) patients were discharged home. However, 6 deaths (9.2%) were recorded among patients with advanced comorbidities and severe sepsis with all deaths occuring within 5 days of admission. CONCLUSION There was a male predominance among patients admitted at the Isolation Centre and all mortalities occurred within five days of admission. Early detection, prompt management of cases with hypoxaemia and optimal treatment of comorbidities are recommended for good outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

Abstract
To address the epidemic of hypertension in blacks born and living in sub-Saharan Africa, we compared in a randomised clinical trial (NCT01030458) single-pill combinations of old and new antihypertensive drugs in patients (30-69 years) with uncomplicated hypertension (140-179/90-109 mm Hg). After ≥4 weeks off treatment, 183 of 294 screened patients were assigned to once daily bisoprolol/hydrochlorothiazide 5/6.25 mg (n=89; R) or amlodipine/valsartan 5/160 mg (n=94; E) and followed up for 6 months. To control blood pressure (<140/<90 mm Hg), bisoprolol and amlodipine could be doubled (10 mg per day) and α-methyldopa (0.5-2 g per day) added. Sitting blood pressure fell by 19.5/12.0 mm Hg in R patients and by 24.8/13.2 mm Hg in E patients and heart rate decreased by 9.7 beats per minute in R patients with no change in E patients (-0.2 beats per minute). The between-group differences (R minus E) were 5.2 mm Hg (P<0.0001) systolic, 1.3 mm Hg (P=0.12) diastolic, and 9.6 beats per minute (P<0.0001). In 57 R and 67 E patients with data available at all visits, these estimates were 5.5 mm Hg (P<0.0001) systolic, 1.8 mm Hg (P=0.07) diastolic and 9.8 beats per minute (P<0.0001). In R compared with E patients, 45 vs 37% (P=0.13) proceeded to the higher dose of randomised treatment and 33 vs 9% (P<0.0001) had α-methyldopa added. There were no between-group differences in symptoms except for ankle oedema in E patients (P=0.012). In conclusion, new compared with old drugs lowered systolic blood pressure more and therefore controlled hypertension better in native African black patients.
