INTRODUCTION Evaluation and treatment of high blood pressure are vital to reducing hypertension-related morbidity. There are limited data on treatment of hypertension in Lesotho. The aim of this study was to investigate hypertension treatment and control in a primary care setting in Lesotho. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among hypertensive patients treated at Domiciliary Healt...

Introduction. This study investigates the information needs and information-seeking patterns of secondary level geography teachers in Lesotho to guide the design and implementation of an information service for these teachers. Leckie, Pettigrew and Sylvain's model of professionals' information-seeking served as a theoretical framework but was overlaid with other models such as that of Savolaine...

Einstein field equations for anisotropic spheres are solved and exact interior solutions obtained. This paper extends earlier treatments to include anisotropic models which accommodate a wider variety of physically viable energy densities. Two classes of solutions are possible. The first class contains the limiting case μ ∝ r−2 for the energy density which arises in many astrophysical applicati...

Syphilis is a notifiable and preventable disease, congenital syphilis more so. Consequently, attention has been recently focused on prenatal diagnosis of foetal syphilis by the use of ultrasonography apart from the conventional serologic screening. Congenital syphilis has not been reported from the Kingdom of Lesotho. We report the case of a 3.0 kg male neonate with florid joint and bone lesion...

This article explores the contemporary spectre of “expropriation” within framework Treaty on Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP). The LHWP is an enigma in both its scope and practical application since it governed by two apparently complementary treaties, seemingly incorporates domestic laws South Africa Lesotho. compounded contradictory legislation that has been promulgated prioritises wate...

We establish a new algorithm that generates a new solution to the Einstein field equations, with an anisotropic matter distribution, from a seed isotropic solution. The new solution is expressed in terms of integrals of an isotropic gravitational potential; and the integration can be completed exactly for particular isotropic seed metrics. A good feature of our approach is that the anisotropic ...

Information behaviour studies have the potential to inform the design of effective information services that incorporate the information needs, information-seeking and preferences for information sources of target users; hence a doctoral study was conducted on the information behaviour of geography teachers in Lesotho with the aim of guiding the design and implementation of an information servi...

The Kingdom of Lesotho in southern Africa is entirely bordered by South Africa, with which it shares many geological and vegetation types, but the vast extent alpine high altitudes suggests that differences insect diversity should be expected. Globally, Diptera are one most diverse orders insects, though biodiversity estimates for order lacking regions. Here, we present a summary limited histor...
