A Mathematical Model for Co-infection Dynamics of Pneumocystis Pneumonia and HIV/AIDS with Treatment [PDF]

open access: yesScience Journal of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 12(4), 48-63 (2024), 2023
The control of opportunistic infections among HIV infected individuals should be one of the major public health concerns in reducing mortality rate of individuals living with HIV/AIDS. In this study a deterministic co-infection mathematical model is employed to provide a quantification of treatment at each contagious stage against Pneumocystis ...

Combining CD34+ stem cell selection with prophylactic pathogen and leukemia directed T‐cell immunotherapy to simultaneously reduce graft versus host disease, infection, and leukemia recurrence after allogeneic stem cell transplant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 159-165, January 2023., 2023
Donor stem cell product undergoes CD34 stem cell selection. CD34 positive stem cells are used for transplantation. Pathogen‐ and leukemia‐specific T‐cells are manufactured from CD34 negative fraction and infused prophylactically 21 days after transplant.

Survival, safety and belonging: An ethnographic study of experiences and perceptions of people who inject drugs accessing a supervised injecting Centre

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 829-846, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction The inclusion of people who use drugs in the design and evaluation of their health services remains a relatively new phenomenon. The aim of the research was to explore the experiences and perceptions of people accessing the Medical Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC), and Clinic 180, Sydney Australia, and the factors facilitating ...

The protective effects of Xuebijing injection on intestinal injuries of mice exposed to irradiation

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 565-574, December 2022., 2022
Xuebijing injections (XBJ) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), approved for the sepsis treatment of by the China Food and Drug Administration. XBJ can effectively enhance the mice survival rate after total body irradiation (TBI). XBJ protects the crypt‐villus structure, maintains the proliferation and differentiation of the small intestine after ...

Accessible ecophysiological tools for seabird conservation

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 32, Issue 12, Page 1983-2002, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Seabirds are the most endangered avian taxa on Earth, with over a third of species globally threatened. To help slow their decline, conservation physiology seeks to determine how seabird responses to climatic and anthropogenic threats influence demographic processes, but it is not widely utilized in monitoring.

Inferring UK COVID-19 fatal infection trajectories from daily mortality data: were infections already in decline before the UK lockdowns? [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrics 2021, 2020
The number of new infections per day is a key quantity for effective epidemic management. It can be estimated relatively directly by testing of random population samples. Without such direct epidemiological measurement, other approaches are required to infer whether the number of new cases is likely to be increasing or decreasing: for example ...

Opportunistic infection as a cause of transient viremia in chronically infected HIV patients under treatment with HAART [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Mathematical Biology (67) 1227-1251 (2005), 2004
When highly active antiretroviral therapy is administered for long periods of time to HIV-1 infected patients, most patients achieve viral loads that are ``undetectable'' by standard assay (i.e., HIV-1 RNA $ < 50$ copies/ml). Yet despite exhibiting sustained viral loads below the level of detection, a number of these patients experience unexplained ...

PAF‐induced inflammatory and immuno‐allergic ophthalmic diseases and their mitigation with PAF receptor antagonists: Cell and nuclear effects

open access: yesBioFactors, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1226-1249, November/December 2022., 2022
Abstract Ocular allergies are becoming more prevalent as more airborne pollutants, irritants and microbes pervade our environment. Inflammatory and allergic mediators released by dendritic and mast cells within the conjunctiva cause allergic conjunctivitis (AC), a prevalent ocular surface disorder that affects >40% of the world's human population on a ...

J‐SUPPORT research policy for oral mucositis associated with cancer treatment

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 4816-4829, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Oral mucositis is one of the main areas of research in supportive and palliative care of cancer patients. However, the methodology of prospective clinical trials on oral mucositis has not been established, despite its uniqueness.

The FANMI (“my FAMILY” in Creole) study to evaluate community-based cohort care for adolescent and young women living with HIV in Haiti: protocol for a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2019
Background Adolescent girls and young women living with HIV in resource-limited settings have the poorest health outcomes of any age group, due in part to poor retention in care.
