Understanding the Rift Valley fever exposure risk: A comparative perspective from a multi-country study in East and Central Africa, 2021-24. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a concern in East and Central Africa, particularly following periods of heavy rainfall and flooding. However no human outbreaks have been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). To assess whether this reflects a

Association between genetics variants and clinical outcomes in patients with left ventricular assist device [PDF]

JHLT Open
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a life-saving therapy for end-stage heart failure, but right ventricular failure (RVF) remains a major complication. Current RVF risk models are limited.

Rift Valley fever seroprevalence and risk factors among human populations in Uganda’s cattle corridor: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

BMJ Public Health
Introduction Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an epidemic-prone zoonotic disease whose distribution of exposure is poorly described in endemic communities. We investigated the seroprevalence and risk factors for RVF among humans in Uganda’s cattle corridor ...

Bio-Humoral and Non-Invasive Haemodynamic Correlates of Renal Venous Flow Patterns across the Heart Failure Spectrum

Medicina, 2023
Background: We evaluated the bio-humoral and non-invasive haemodynamic correlates of renal congestion evaluated by Doppler renal venous flow (RVF) across the heart failure (HF) spectrum, from asymptomatic subjects with cardiovascular risk factors (Stage ...

Prevalence and prognostic value of various types of right ventricular dysfunction in mechanically ventilated septic patients

Annals of Intensive Care, 2021
Introduction Right ventricle (RV) dilation in combination with elevated central venous pressure (CVP), which is a state of RV congestion, is seen as a sign of RV failure (RVF).
