HIV and TB in Eastern and Southern Africa: Evidence for behaviour change and the impact of ART [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
The United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has set a target to ensure that 15 million HIV-positive people in the world would be receiving combination anti-retroviral treatment (ART) by 2015. This target is likely to be reached and new targets for 2020 and 2030 are needed.

Identifying HIV infection in South African women: How does a fourth generation HIV rapid test perform?

African Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2011
Background: HIV rapid tests (RT) play an important role in tackling the HIV pandemic in South Africa. Third generation RT that detect HIV antibodies are currently used to diagnose HIV infection at the point of care.

Identification of CD38high Monocyte as a Candidate Diagnostic Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers that CD38high monocytes discriminate sepsis and sterile inflammation and are associated with 28‐day mortality in bacterial sepsis. Targeting CD38 therapy reduces inflammatory response in monocytes and in sepsis mice model. Mechanistically, CD38‐HIF‐1α/glycolysis/MGO loop exacerbates sepsis‐induced immune dysregulation.

Dynamic Cap‐Mediated Substrate Access and Potent Inhibitor Design of Monkeypox Virus I7L Protease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The first crystal structure of MPXV I7L protease, revealing its unique dimeric form is resolved. The structures and MD simulations uncovered a dynamic cap region that regulates substrate access to the active site. The structural basis of substrate recognition and the catalytic mechanism are elucidated, which led to the development of a FRET‐based assay

The burden of HIV in a Public Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
South Africa has the greatest number of people living with HIV in the world but the direct impact of this on the public health system has not been directly measured. Using data from the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, the largest hospital in the Southern Hemisphere, collected between January 2006 and December 2009, we demonstrate directly the scale of

Recent Advances in Enhancing the Sensitivity of Biosensors Based on Field Effect Transistors

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This paper discusses the methods to enhancing the detection sensitivity of biosensors in three aspects: overcoming the influence of Debye shielding effects, promoting the binding efficiency of analytes and transistor surface, and improving the structures of device.

Bayesian Projection of Life Expectancy Accounting for the HIV/AIDS Epidemic [PDF]

arXiv, 2016
While probabilistic projection methods for projecting life expectancy exist, few account for covariates related to life expectancy. Generalized HIV/AIDS epidemics have a large, immediate negative impact on the life expectancy in a country, but this impact can be mitigated by widespread use of antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Scaling up hepatitis C testing and linkage-to-care among people who use drugs: lessons learned from a pilot project implemented at a supervised consumption site

BMC Health Services Research
Background Despite rolling out publicly-funded hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment across the province of British Columbia (BC), Canada, 35% of people returning positive HCV RNA results in 2020 did not initiate treatment.
