Networks science techniques are frequently used to provide meaningful insights into the populations underlying medical and social data. This paper examines SATHCAP, a dataset related to HIV and drug use in three US cities. In...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar (KA), is a neglected vector-borne disease, targeted for elimination, but several affected blocks of Bihar are posing challenges with the high incidence of cases, and moreover,...
A family-centered care model (FCCM) providing family-based HIV services, rather than separate adult/pediatric services, has been proposed to increase pediatric retention and treatment adherence.Eight health-care facilities in...
The progressive loss of CD4+T cells during HIV infection of lymphoid tissues involves both the apoptotic death of activated and productively infected CD4 T cells and the pyroptotic death of large numbers of resting and...
Astrocytes are the primary regulator of energy metabolism in the central nervous system (CNS), and impairment of astrocyte’s energy resource may trigger neurodegeneration. HIV infections and cocaine use are known to alter...
Traditional diagnostic workup for Endometrial carcinoma in women with post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) involves endometrial biopsy. Addition of colour and power Doppler ultrasound to transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) might help...
Concerning human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemiology, pregnant women (PW) are particularly vulnerable and severely affected. Nigeria has over 40 years of HIV epidemiology and enlightenments; to suggest control hub, we...
