Cervical Cancer Screening Outcomes for Hiv-Positive Women in the Lubombo and Manzini Regions of Eswatini—prevalence and Predictors of a Positive Visual Inspection With Acetic Acid (Via) Screen
This study aimed to describe the prevalence and predictors of a positive VIA (visual inspection with acetic acid) cervical cancer screening test in women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). We retrospectively analysed data from women aged ≥15 who accessed VIA screening from health facilities in the Lubombo and Manzini regions of Eswatini. Sociodemographic and clinical data from October 2020 to June 2023 were extracted from the client …
Transcriptional Profiling and Biological Pathway(s) Analysis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in a Pakistani Population
The epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important global health concern. Our earlier epidemiological investigation in Pakistan prompted us to conduct a molecular investigation to decipher the differential genetic pathways of this health condition in relation to non-diabetic controls. Our microarray studies of global gene expression were conducted on the Affymetrix platform using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array along with Ingenuity …
Epidemiological Investigation of Type 2 Diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease in a Pakistani Population
The epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the possibility of it contributing to the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have become important health concerns worldwide and in Pakistan, where the co-occurrence of T2DM and AD is becoming more frequent. To gain insights on this phenomenon, a cross-sectional study was initiated. We recruited and interviewed 820 research participants from four cities in Pakistan: 250 controls, 450 T2DM, 100 AD,…
Viral transmission risk factors in an Egyptian population with high hepatitis C prevalence
In Egypt, PAT and other transmission factors yet to be identified, as well as cohorts born before the 1960s and infected with HCV, are most likely the main contributors to the current HCV endemic
Knowledge and perceptions of hepatitis c infection and pesticides use in two rural villages in Egypt
In rural Egypt, there is a significant lack of knowledge of HCV infection and its transmission mode and limited use of protective measures against pesticides despite familiarity with these chemicals
Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs of Patients with Chronic Liver Disease
Participants felt lack of CLD knowledge was a key factor in how patients perceived prevention, risks, causes, and treatment. These findings contribute to the important, yet limited, base of knowledge about CLD and provide a benchmark for future, more extensive studies and interventions
Differences in Health and Religious Beliefs About Tobacco Use Among Waterpipe Users in the Rural Male Population of Egypt
P1-35 On the use of empirical likelihood based methods to achieve balance on measured confounders
Introduction One of the limitations of the statistical methods that use propensity scores, such as those involving adjustment for the propensity score, matching, subclassification, and inverse probability of treatment weighting, is that they do not achieve exact balance with respect to the measured confounders. Empirical likelihood is a nonparametric method with desirable statistical properties that is perfectly suited to perform the reweighting …
