Position statement on the management of pregnancy in sickle cell disease

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, EarlyView.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary haemoglobinopathy which causes multi‐organ dysfunction. Pregnancies in SCD are high risk with significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, including vaso‐occlusive crises, thrombosis, anaemia, placental insufficiency, fetal growth restriction, preterm birth and medication effects. High level evidence

Modeling COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunological memory development and its links to antibody level and infectiousness [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the dynamics of vaccine-induced immunological memory development and neutralizing antibodies generation are not fully understood, limiting vaccine development and vaccination regimen determination. Herein, we constructed a mathematical model to characterize the vaccine-

Hopf-bifurcation analysis of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this paper, a mathematical model of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays is proposed. The stability theory of delay differential equations is used to analyze the model. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable if the control reproduction ratio R0 is less than unity and unstable otherwise.

Adults aged 65 years and older in South Africa have a responsibility to vaccinate against influenza

Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we draw on the thinking about incompleteness and conviviality grounded in Afro‐communitarianism ethics from the Global South to argue that adults aged 65 years and above have a prima facie responsibility to vaccinate against influenza.

Impact and effectiveness of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on population incidence of vaccine and non-vaccine serotype invasive pneumococcal disease in Blantyre, Malawi, 2006–18: prospective observational time-series and case-control studies

The Lancet Global Health, 2021
Summary: Background: The population impact of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) depends on direct and indirect protection. Following Malawi's introduction of the 13-valent PCV (PCV13) in 2011, we examined its impact on vaccine and non-vaccine ...

The Efficacy and Safety of Canagliflozin by Frailty Status in Participants of the CANVAS and CREDENCE Trials

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to improve renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Limited evidence exists about the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with frailty. Methods This was a post hoc pooled, participant‐level data analysis of the CANVAS Program
