Left ventricular hypertrophy among adults in a population-based cohort in Haiti

Scientific Reports
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality; yet the means to diagnose LVH in resource-constrained settings remain limited.

Recent trends in molecular diagnostics of yeast infections : from PCR to NGS [PDF]

, 2019
The incidence of opportunistic yeast infections in humans has been increasing over recent years. These infections are difficult to treat and diagnose, in part due to the large number and broad diversity of species that can underlie the infection.

Autoimmune Encephalitis in Acute Care—Pathology, Diagnosis, and Management

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is characterized by immune‐mediated inflammation of the brain parenchyma, presenting with various neurological syndromes, including but not limited to seizures, altered consciousness, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and movement disorders.

Treating loss-to-follow-up as a missing data problem: a case study using a longitudinal cohort of HIV-infected patients in Haiti

BMC Public Health, 2018
Background HIV programs are often assessed by the proportion of patients who are alive and retained in care; however some patients are categorized as lost to follow-up (LTF) and have unknown vital status.

Immune compromise in HIV-1/HTLV-1 coinfection with paradoxical resolution of CD4 lymphocytosis during antiretroviral therapy: a case report [PDF]

, 2015
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) and human T lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infections have complex effects on adaptive immunity, with specific tropism for, but contrasting effects on, CD4 T lymphocytes: depletion with HIV-1, proliferation

Profiling Localized Immunomodulation and Drug Biodistribution within a Subcutaneous Vascularized Niche for Cell Transplantation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We studied how five common immunosuppressants behave when delivered directly to a transplant site instead of systemically. Using a vascularized implant for islet transplantation, we show that local delivery protects grafts, limits drug spread to the rest of the body, and produces distinct immune signatures.

Ecological theory as a foundation to control pathogenic invasion in aquaculture [PDF]

, 2014
Detrimental host-pathogen interactions are a normal phenomenon in aquaculture animal production, and have been counteracted by prophylactic use of antibiotics. Especially, the youngest life stages of cultivated aquatic animals are susceptible to pathogen

Cascade‐Responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF Heterostructure Integrates Antioxidant Activity, Infection Control, and Vascularization for Tracheal Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cascade‐responsive MXene@Cu‐MOF/GelMA hydrogel is engineered as a “skeleton–backpack” platform for extensive tracheal repair. The MXene framework scavenges postoperative ROS and converts NIR light into mild hyperthermia, while the Cu‐MOF component provides pH/NIR‐responsive Cu2+ dosing for infection control, angiogenesis, and chondrogenesis.

Multivalent Glycopolymer Design Unlocks Antimicrobial Activity of 2‐Deoxyglucose

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
New approaches to combat antimicrobial‐resistant pathogens are needed. Here, scaffolding a nonmetabolizable sugar (2DG) on a polymer backbone is shown to significantly improve its antimicrobial activity. ABSTRACT With the increasing prevalence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) pathogens, last‐line therapeutics such as cyclic peptides are insufficient ...

Retention in Care among HIV-Infected Pregnant Women in Haiti with PMTCT Option B

AIDS Research and Treatment, 2016
Background. Preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV relies on engagement in care during the prenatal, peripartum, and postpartum periods. Under PMTCT Option B, pregnant women with elevated CD4 counts are provided with antiretroviral prophylaxis ...
