  1. 1. Evidence-based decision support in HIV/TB care : designing treatment, monitoring, and assessment support for care providers

    Författare :Carolina Wannheden; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: HIV and tuberculosis (TB) coinfection, which is a major challenge for healthcare systems worldwide, requires effective strategies to support care providers in applying best clinical evidence in making treatment decisions about the care of individ- ual patients. Clinical decision support (CDS) systems have the potential to facilitate the implementation of evidence-based guidelines in clinical practice. LÄS MER

  3. 2. GIS and Health: Enhancing Disease Surveillance and Intervention through Spatial Epidemiology

    Författare :Augustus Aturinde; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spatial epidemiology; spatial econometrics; HIV-TB; CVD; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The success of an evidence-based intervention depends on precise and accurate evaluation of available data and information. Here, the use of robust methods for evidence evaluation is important. Epidemiology, in its conventional form, relies on statistics and mathematics to draw inferences on disease dynamics in affected populations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Immune mediators in people with HIV and tuberculosis

    Författare :Oskar Olsson; Klinisk infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common cause of death among people with HIV (PWH). PWH often have atypical clinical manifestations of TB, and TB disease can therefore be missed. Better screening markers could identify individuals with high likelihood of TB disease. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Optimization of HIV and tuberculosis co-treatment in Tanzania : drug-drug interactions and clinical outcomes

    Författare :Sabina Mugusi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Sub-Saharan Africa has been greatly affected by the HIV epidemic, with an estimated 23.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) residing within this region by the end of 2011, being the leading course of morbidity and mortality. Tanzania is one of the countries in this region with an HIV prevalence of 5.7% i. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Pharmacogenetic aspects of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria : emphasis on Ugandan population

    Författare :Jackson Kijumba B Mukonzo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis and malaria are endemic in Africa and often require concomitant treatments that may result into subsequent drug–drug interactions. Inter-individual variability in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs used in infectious diseases, as a result of genetic polymorphism, has been reported. LÄS MER
