Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin. Risk factors include extensive sun damage, infection with polyomavirus, an immunocompromised state. PRAME, also known as preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma, cancer-testis recently found to be useful diagnostic tool workup melanocytic neoplasms. However, expression pattern PRAME unknown. In this study, we examine explore its prognostic implications. The institutional archives at University...
Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a chronic inflammatory condition of the small intestine, is an important driver childhood malnutrition globally. Quantifying intestinal morphology in EED allows for exploration its association with functional and disease outcomes.
Introduction Key populations, including female sex workers (FSW), people who inject drugs (PWID), and in serodiscordant partnerships, experience higher HIV incidence compared to the general population. Maternal retesting, particularly during late pregnancy, helps detect new infections prevent vertical transmission, but optimal testing schedules among key populations are unknown. Methods We used a Markov model estimate health economic impacts of maternal retesting on transmission outcomes FSW...
Background In the United States, annual screening for rectal gonorrhea and chlamydia is only recommended men who report receptive anal sex (RAS), but other behaviors (e.g., rimming) may lead to Chlamydia trachomatis Neisseria gonorrhoeae acquisition. Methods We enrolled individuals assigned male at birth reported with denied RAS in past 2 years or 1 ago were tested treated since last RAS. Participants in-person Sexual Health Clinic Seattle, Washington (December 2019–July 2022), online (July...

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) acquired orally may survive passage through the gastrointestinal tract and establish an infection in rectum, but how often this occurs is unknown.
ABSTRACT Objectives Key populations, including sex workers, men who have with men, and people inject drugs, a high risk of HIV sexually transmitted infections (STIs). We assessed the health economic impacts different syphilis testing strategies among three key populations in Viet Nam using dual HIV/syphilis rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Setting used Spectrum AIDS Impact Model to simulate epidemic evaluated five scenarios. 15-year time horizon all costs are from provider’s perspective....
ABSTRACT Background HIV testing and counseling is a key component of prevention the entry point into treatment cascade, which improves for individual clinical outcomes reduces onward transmission. Current guidelines recommend at least annual populations. More frequent could provide health benefits, but these additional services increase program cost-effectiveness not well-evaluated. Methods We used compartmental mathematical model to simulate economic impact one four times per year men who...
