The purpose of this study is to learn about lower respiratory tract and bloodstream diseases among infants born to HIV positive mothers in Botswana. Study factors include how commonly infants get these diseases, the causes, and outcomes. The study will also try to measure the protective effect, if any, of breast feeding on respiratory disease illness and deaths ...

The study of acute HIV infection is critical to the design and development of HIV vaccines and strategies to achieve an undetectable level of virus without antiretrovirals, or a functional cure. By diagnosing HIV within weeks or even days of infection, scientists are afforded the opportunity to study the early events following infection. This provides the opportunity to look

The scintigraphic imaging modality of choice in the evaluation of renal infections is renal cortical scintigraphy utilizing [99mTc]dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA). This technique is able to demonstrate upper tract involvement with infection and to assess for the presence of renal cortical scarring following a urinary tract infection (UTI). There are recent publications advocating its use to determine which patients need to proceed to further investigation with cystography. It is also being utilized in the evaluation of different treatment regimes used in patients with UTI. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET and leukocyte scanning have only a minor role in the diagnosis of renal infection. Their main application is in the diagnosis of renal cyst infections in patients with polycystic renal disease.. ...

BACKGROUND: Human infection studies (HIS) are valuable in vaccine development. Deliberate infection, however, creates challenging questions, particularly in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where HIS are new and ethical challenges may be heightened. Consultation with stakeholders is needed to support contextually appropriate and acceptable study design. We examined stakeholder perceptions about the acceptability and ethics of HIS in Malawi, to inform decisions about planned pneumococcal challenge research and wider understanding of HIS ethics in LMICs. METHODS: We conducted 6 deliberative focus groups and 15 follow-up interviews with research staff, medical students, and community representatives from rural and urban Blantyre. We also conducted 5 key informant interviews with clinicians, ethics committee members, and district health government officials. RESULTS: Stakeholders perceived HIS research to have potential population health benefits, but they also had concerns, particularly related to

Introduction Epidemiology Cancer patients are at a higher risk of infections with a mean annual incidence rate of 1465 cases per 100,000 cancer patients and a relative risk [RR] of 9.77 compared with noncancer patients (95% confidence interval [CI], 9.67-9.88). Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) can commonly be seen both in patients with genitourinary tract…

A few years back, we were arguing over the question: can antibiotics cause yeast infections? and it has been determined that they definitely do.

Renal Infection is an infection of kidney which is caused by a bacteria known as e-coli, this bacteria enters the body with the blood, once infected by this bacteria the conditions of high fever along with the back pain occurs, the bladder too gets infected by this bacteria. This infection is really fatal and can Read more ...

It is a branch of biology that deals with the molecular mechanisms underlying life. DNA can be amplified thanks to sophisticated techniques, in order to find out genetic mutations that cause a lack of functionality of that very investigated gene. This technique allows to diagnose many genetic diseases, paternity tests, prenatal diagnosis tests, molecular oncology, pharmacogenetics, female infertility, cardiovascular disease, male infertility, nutrigenetics, molecular infection studies, cytogenetic examinations..
