Objectives: To assess the changes in HIV prevalence and incidence between 1996 2006 urban areas of Bissau. Design: A cross-sectional survey 384 randomly selected houses within a community-based follow-up study HIV-1 HIV-2. Methods: total 3242 individuals aged at least 15 years were eligible for inclusion. Participants interviewed about behavioral socio-economic factors had blood sample drawn. 2548 tested antibodies to HIV-2, whom 649 taken part similar 1996. Results: With 0.5% dual reactions...
The growing impact and importance of artificial intelligence in society has led to an increasing interest for the potential as educational tool schools aid both students teachers. In this study we investigate digitally skilled K-12 mathematics teachers’ (N=85) attitudes towards expectations on role classroom. was done by conducting analyzing results a web-based survey among Swedish Finnish speaking teachers using mixed methods strategy. Will, Skill Tool framework used analysis. before...
Background: The intriguing differences in the natural course, transmissibility, and epidemiological characteristics of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) HIV-2 are still insufficiently explained.Differences plasma viral load an obvious possibility, but this has been difficult to investigate because lack tests for RNA.Objective: To compare HIV RNA between individuals infected with HIV-1 Guinea-Bissau, a West African country high prevalence incidence infection.Methods: A total 102...
Cervical cancer is the most prevalent in Mozambique, with endocervical adenocarcinoma accounting for approximately 5.5% of cases. Knowledge regarding HPV genotypes limited, within this setting. This study aimed to investigate human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and a cohort patients context Mozambique's recently introduced vaccination programme, considering country's HIV-endemic Forty consecutive cases diagnosed at Maputo Central Hospital between 2017 2018, limited clinical data available,...
ABSTRACT A method for detection and genotyping of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections based on omp1 gene amplification sequencing was developed. DNA extracted from urogenital or urine samples using a Chelex-based method, an approximately 1,100-bp-long fragment the directly amplified sequenced. Genotyping performed by BLAST similarity search, phylogenetic tree analysis used to illustrate evolutionary relationships between clinical isolates reference strains. The determine genotypes C. in...
Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical, head, and neck cancers. We studied 483 patients at a youth clinic in Stockholm, Sweden, found oral HPV prevalence was 9.3% significantly higher for female with than without cervical infection (p = 0.043). Most types matched the co-occurring types.
No gold standard exists for diagnosis of HTLV infection. The aim thus study was to compare the accuracy a combination two sensitive ELISAs with Western blot (WB), line immunoassay, and PCR infection.Nine hundred eighty-five specimens were tested presence antibodies by HTLV-I and/or HTLV-II EIAs (Murex Ortho), WB (Diagnostic Biotechnology), immunoassay (INNO-LIA, Innogenetics), DNA PCR. results compared probable infection status each subject, as determined detailed review all available...
Objectives: To study trends in the prevalence and incidence of HIV-1 HIV-2 infections Guinea-Bissau over last 7 years, to evaluate protective effect against infection. Design: Prospective follow-up a cohort police officers Guinea-Bissau, sentinel surveillance pregnant women Bissau. Methods: Participants were tested regularly for antibodies HIV Treponema pallidum, information about sexual risk behaviour history sexually transmitted diseases was obtained. Simultaneously, at maternity wards...
Objective: To identify cost-efficient alternative antibody testing strategies for screening, confirmation and discrimination of HIV-1 HIV-2 infections, including rapid simple tests (RST) as well enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), in a HIV-2-prevalent area. Design: Evaluation comparison anti-HIV-1/2 assays, adhering to the World Health Organization recommendations confirmatory strategies, using banked prospectively collected specimens Guinea-Bissau. Methods: A total 1110 consecutive...
Up to 20 million persons are infected with the human retroviruses T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-I and HTLV-II globally. Most data on seroprevalence of HTLV-I in Europe from studies low-risk blood donors or high-risk injection drug users (IDUs). Little is known about general population.A prospective anonymous study among 234,078 pregnant women Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom was conducted. Maternal antibody status determined by standard methods using sera...
To study prevalence and incidence of HIV-1 HIV-2 between 1990 2007 to examine impact the civil war in 1998-1999. We also wanted investigate possible interaction HIV-2.Open prospective cohort 4592 police officers Guinea-Bissau, West Africa.Analysis divided 2-3 years time strata.HIV-1 (including HIV-1/HIV-2 dual reactivity) increased gradually from 0.6 3.6% before was 9.5% first serosurvey after war. more than doubled during shortly war, 0.50 1.22 per 100 person-years. Both decreased following...
Education and diagnostic tests capable of early detection represent our most effective means preventing transmission human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The importance is underlined by studies demonstrating increased life expectancy following initiation antiviral treatment. Elecsys(®) HIV combi PT assay a fourth-generation antigen-antibody combination developed to allow earlier seroconversion, have sensitivity improved specificity. We aimed determine how the could detect infection compared...
Background Clinical laboratory reference values from North American and European populations are currently used in most Africans countries due to the absence of locally derived ranges, despite previous studies reporting significant differences between populations. Our aim was define ranges for both genders 18 24 year-old Mozambicans preparation clinical vaccine trials. Methods A cross-sectional study including 257 volunteers (102 males 155 females) years performedat a youth clinic Maputo,...
To assess the present level of HIV-2 infection in an adult population Bissau and to evaluate sex age-specific changes prevalence incidence between 1987 1996.Sex were evaluated comparing a survey from sample 100 houses with performed 1996 independent 212 same study area. rates examined (age > or = 15 years) randomly selected followed four consecutive HIV serosurveys 1996.The was 6.8% (men, 4.7%; women, 8.4%). Compared there significant decrease among men [age-adjusted relative risk (RR),...
