Evaluating the effectiveness of enhanced family planning education on knowledge and use of family planning in fishing communities of Lake Victoria in Uganda: a randomized controlled trial

BMC Health Services Research, 2022
Introduction Family planning knowledge is poor and use is low in Ugandan fishing communities. We compared the effectiveness of enhanced family planning (FP) education with routine counselling on FP knowledge and use.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

HIV ANTIGENAEMIA IN ACUTE HIV INFECTION

The Lancet, 1987
-Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection maypresent as an acute illness, probably occurring shortly after virusacquisition.1.2 Most cases have been diagnosed retrospectivelyfollowing seroconversion. We have seen two patients with a clinicalpicture compatible with acute HIV disease, and have tested theiracute phase sera for HIV antigen.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Poor post‐exposure prophylaxis completion despite improvements in post‐violence service delivery in 14 PEPFAR‐supported sub‐Saharan African countries, 2018–2023

Journal of the International AIDS Society
Introduction Sexual violence (SV) affects millions globally and has a well‐documented bidirectional association with HIV. Post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a critical, yet often underutilized, HIV prevention tool in post‐SV care.

Vorinostat Renders the Replication-Competent Latent Reservoir of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Vulnerable to Clearance by CD8 T Cells

EBioMedicine, 2017
Latently human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected cells are transcriptionally quiescent and invisible to clearance by the immune system. To demonstrate that the latency reversing agent vorinostat (VOR) induces a window of vulnerability in the latent ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
