<h3>Objectives</h3> Experimental studies suggest a relationship between pesticide exposure and renal impairment, but epidemiological evidence is limited. We evaluated the association to 39 specific pesticides end-stage disease (ESRD) incidence in Agricultural Health Study, prospective cohort study of licensed applicators Iowa North Carolina. <h3>Methods</h3> Via linkage US Renal Data System, we identified 320 ESRD cases diagnosed enrolment (1993–1997) December 2011 among 55 580 male...
Malawi's national guidelines recommend that infants exposed to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) be tested at 6 weeks of age. Rollout services for early infant diagnosis has been limited and resulted in initiation antiretroviral therapy (ART) very few infants.An programme was launched. It included education pregnant women on testing, community sensitization, free testing age, active tracing HIV-positive referral treatment care.The established two primary care facilities Blantyre,...
Background: Recent studies have shown an excess of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among younger adult males in the Pacific coastal region Nicaragua and suggest a non-conventional CKD etiology this region. These been conducted small, non-representative populations. Objectives: We large population-based cross-sectional study to estimate prevalence León, Nicaragua, evaluate association between previously investigated risk factors CKD. Methods: Estimated glomerular filtration rate, derived using...
Live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), an optimal therapy for many patients with end-stage disease, is underutilized, particularly by African Americans. Potential recipient difficulties initiating and sustaining conversations about LDKT, identifying willing medically eligible donors, potential donors' logistical financial hurdles have been cited as contributors to race disparities in LDKT. Few interventions specifically targeting these factors tested. We report the protocol of Talking...
Until recently, Zika virus (ZIKV) infections were considered mild and self-limiting. Since 2015, they have been associated with an increase in microcephaly other birth defects newborns. While this association has observed case reports epidemiological studies, the nature extent of relationship between ZIKV adverse pregnancy pediatric health outcomes is not well understood. With unique opportunity to prospectively explore full spectrum issues related exposure during pregnancy, we undertook a...
To describe the presence and persistence of neurological neuropsychological sequelae among children with acquired Zika virus infection assess whether those were more common in infected compared to uninfected children.We conducted a prospective cohort study without León, Nicaragua, using standard clinical assessment tool questionnaire collect data on symptoms at three visits, about 6 months apart, battery standardized instruments evaluate neurocognitive function, behavior, depression, anxiety...
Chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology (CKDu) is an incompletely defined phenotype chronic (CKD) affecting young individuals mostly in agricultural communities Central America and South Asia. CKDu a diagnosis exclusion made from endemic regions.
ZIKV has neuroinvasive properties, and in utero exposure can cause birth defects, but little is known about the neurological neurocognitive impacts of acquired infection, particularly children.
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection may adversely affect pregnancies of women living with HIV (WLHIV). Because no study to date has focused on maternal and child effects ZIKV co-infection in pregnant women, we undertook the International Prospective Cohort Study Infants Pregnancy (HIV ZIP). The aims this two-phase their infants are compare incidence among without determine risk adverse outcomes associated ZIKV/HIV at clinical sites Brazil, Puerto Rico, continental United States. Phase I was designed...
