Prevalence and predictors of cigarette smoking among people with HIV in Western Jamaica
With highly active antiretroviral therapy, HIV infection has become a treatable chronic disease. However, modifiable risk factors such as cigarette smoking continue to impact the morbidity and mortality of people with HIV (PWH). We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with cigarette smoking and motivation to quit among PWH in Western Jamaica. A cross-sectional study was conducted in which 392 adults seeking HIV care at health facilities…
Aflatoxin Exposure Among Mothers and Their Infants from the Western Highlands of Guatemala
Barriers to antiretroviral therapy initiation for HIV-positive children aged 2–18 months in Swaziland
Although early antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces HIV-related mortality in children by up to 75%, almost half of HIV-positive children younger than 1 year old in Swaziland do not initiate ART. This study was conducted to identify barriers to early ART initiation among HIV-positive infants. This was a case-control study among HIV-positive infants, aged 2 to 18 months, who either did not initiate ART (cases), or initiated ART (controls), during 1…
A qualitative analysis of the barriers to antiretroviral therapy initiation among children 2 to 18 months of age in Swaziland
HIV/AIDS remains one of the leading causes of death among children under 5 years old in Swaziland. Although studies have shown that early initiation of infants and children diagnosed with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART) significantly reduces mortality, many children do not initiate ART until the later stages of disease. This study was designed to collect qualitative data from mothers and caregivers of HIV-positive children to identify the bar…
Screening, prevalence, and risk factors for cervical lesions among HIV positive and HIV negative women in Swaziland
The high prevalence of HIV infection and the strong association between HIV and cervical lesions highlight the need for substantial scale-up of cervical screening to decrease the rate of CC in Swaziland
Association between Aflatoxin M1 and Liver Disease in HBV/HCV Infected Persons in Ghana
Aflatoxins are produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus and are common food contaminants in tropical developing countries. Extensive aflatoxin consumption has been shown to be highly associated with liver disease. A case-control study was conducted to determine the association between aflatoxin and liver disease in Kumasi, Ghana. A questionnaire was administered to examine socio-demographic characteristics and food sto…
Life-course socio-economic status and adult BMI in Ghana; analysis of the WHO study on global ageing and adult health (Sage)
Higher individual and life-course SES is associated with higher BMI among women in Ghana, although maternal employment was associated with lower BMI
System-level factors as predictors of adherence to clinical appointment schedules in antiretroviral therapy in Cambodia
Adherence to clinical appointment schedules by patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) is necessary for the prevention of medication interruptions, viral rebound, and the development of drug resistance. An observational study conducted in 2010, Enablers and Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy in Cambodia, sought to identify factors that predict on-time clinical appointment attendance by patients on ART. Clinical data, including appointment atten…
Increasing Cervical Cancer Awareness and Screening in Jamaica
Despite declines in cervical cancer mortality in developed countries, cervical cancer incidence and mortality rates remain high in Jamaica due to low levels of screening. Effective interventions are needed to decrease barriers to preventive behaviors and increase adoption of behaviors and services to improve prospects of survival. We enrolled 225 women attending health facilities in an intervention consisting of a pre-test, educational presentati…
Antenatal Care Attendance, a Surrogate for Pregnancy Outcome? The Case of Kumasi, Ghana
Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and Associated Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Guatemalan School Children
Relationship between the nutritional status of breastfeeding Mayan mothers and their infants in Guatemala
A case-control study was conducted to determine the association between maternal height and infant length-for-age, and to evaluate how this association is modified by either maternal or infant nutritional status. We hypothesised that maternal excess caloric intake [measured as body mass index (BMI)] would increase the association, while infant nutrition (measured in main meals consumed in addition to breastfeeding) will diminish the effect. Mothe…
Contemporary profile of oral manifestations of HIV/Aids and associated risk factors in a southeastern US clinic
OM continues to be common despite HAART. General OM and OPC were closely associated with a low baseline CD4 count. Knowledge of risk factors for OM can potentially help clinicians target oral evaluation of HIV-positive individuals
Predictors of Anemia Among Pregnant Women in Westmoreland, Jamaica
Anemia in pregnancy is a worldwide problem, but it is most prevalent in the developing world. This research project was conducted to determine the predictors of anemia in pregnant women in Westmoreland, Jamaica. A cross-sectional study design was conducted, and descriptive, bivariate, and multiple logistic regression analyses were used. Body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and the number of antenatal care visits showed a sta…
Experience of sexual violence among women in HIV discordant unions after voluntary HIV counselling and testing
HIV-serodiscordant relationships are those in which one partner is infected with HIV while the other is not. We investigated experiences of sexual violence among women in HIV discordant unions attending HIV post-test club services in Uganda. A volunteer sample of 26 women from three AIDS Information Centres in Uganda who reported having experienced sexual violence in a larger epidemiological study were interviewed, using the qualitative critical …
