Cohort Profile: The Nigerian HIV Geriatric Cohort Study [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2019
Abstract Background: An estimated 280,000 adults aged 50 years and above live with HIV in Nigeria, a population set to increase with ART efficacy and expanding coverage. To learn how elderly people living with HIV (EPLHIV) in Nigeria fare, despite not being prioritized by the national treatment program, and to deepen knowledge for their ...

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Descriptive epidemiology of muscle-strengthening activities in Japanese middle-aged and older adults: the Hisayama Study

open access: yesBMJ Public Health
Introduction Data on the prevalence of muscle-strengthening activities in Asia have been limited. Using data from a community-based cross-sectional survey of a general adult population in Japan, whose age and occupational distribution were very similar ...

Circulating tumor cells in metastatic breast cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors – a biomarker analysis of the ALICE and ICON trials

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative biomarker analysis, we assessed serial sampling of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) with CellSearch in two randomized trials testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic breast cancer. Our data demonstrate a prognostic potential of CTCs, most apparent 4 weeks into ICI therapy.

Fast Accelerated Failure Time Modeling for Case-Cohort Data [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics and Computing 2014 24:559-568, 2012
Semiparametric accelerated failure time (AFT) models directly relate the predicted failure times to covariates and are a useful alternative to models that work on the hazard function or the survival function. For case-cohort data, much less development has been done with AFT models.

Systematic review of birth cohort studies in Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In sub-Saharan Africa, unacceptably high rates of mortality amongst women and children continue to persist. The emergence of research employing new genomic technologies is advancing knowledge on cause of disease. This review aims to identify birth cohort

Cohort Profile: the Jerusalem longitudinal cohort study [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Epidemiology, 2008
Whilst it has been suggested that about 25% of the variability in human longevity is attributed to genetic influences, the remaining 75% is consequent upon a complex interplay of biological, environmental, social and culturally determined factors. In rising to the challenge of understanding the complexities of human ageing, a valuable tool to emerge in

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.
