Abstract:

Genital infection with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV -2) is increasingly common worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the epidemiology and natural history of genital herpes among GUM attendees with symptomatic genital herpes, and among HIV-l infected individuals. In our study of GUM attendees in the UK, we demonstrated HSV -1 to account for 9% of first episodes of genital herpes. These findings are in contrast with observations made elsewhere in the UK, where HSV -1 has accounted for >50% of first-episode cases. As most individuals with genital HSV -2 infection remain clini

Abstract:

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a treatment for various hematologic and immune diseases which involves a long recovery process. Several complications influence a patient's probability of survival and each complication is influenced by factors known at the time of transplantation and also by subsequent events. Simple survival analysis techniques are found to be limited in this context. We have applied multistate models in order to estimate the effects of various time-fixed and time-dependent covariates on the main outcomes in the course of patients after a transplant procedure.

Abstract:

<p> Over the last half-century, previously undescribed tick-borne pathogens including the Lyme disease bacteria, <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>, have rapidly spread across the Northeast and Midwest United States. Lyme disease is now the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in North America, with over 300,000 estimated cases each year in the United States. Despite its epidemiological importance, many questions remain about this ongoing invasion. Does the observed spread of human cases reflect the ecological spread of the Lyme disease bacteria or does it reflect changes in case reporting and

Introduction. Only a small proportion of women with oncogenic HPV infections will eventually progress to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) or invasive cervical cancer (ICC), although the reasons why are not well understood. Additional knowledge about viral transmission and persistence is still needed, since some studies have shown that certain environmental co-factors, such as previous STDs or alcohol use may facilitate the sexual transmission of HPV or the persistence of an established HPV infection. The objectives of this study were to: 1) Describe the incidence and clearanc

Abstract:

There are very few established causes of primary brain tumours in adults. Associated with short survival times, increasing effort is being put forth in an attempt to better understand the risk factors of these neoplasms, including investigating the possible relationship with a family history of cancer and germline genetic polymorphisms. This thesis was conducted to evaluate both of these potential associations. Using an international population-based case-control study, the self-reported family histories of cancer were compared between 1089 glioma cases and 1922 matched controls and between 30

Abstract:

Worldwide, there are few large-scale epidemiological studies on infertility. In Australia, population-based research on infertility is limited to a few small-scale studies. Therefore, the prevalence of infertility and unmet need for specialist medical advice and treatment cannot be estimated reliably. Women who have used assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are recorded in treatment registries. However, there are many infertile women who are excluded from these clinical populations because they neither seek advice nor use treatment. The thesis was based on a biopsychosocia

Abstract:

In the last decades genetic factors are playing an increasingly important role in medical research, given the evidence for the existence of a heritable susceptibility for various diseases, including common cancers, based on reports of families with multiple affected relatives. Epidemiologists have utilized family history, usually of first-degree relatives, as a surrogate for genetic risk, aware that family history reflects the consequences of genetic susceptibilities, shared environment, and common behaviors.

Abstract:

Abdominal aortic aneurysm is an important cause of death globally, however, its impact is less today than two decades ago due to a decline in AAA mortality. Within the same timeframe changes have occurred to the way that AAA may be treated, for example an increasing use of endovascular surgical techniques. Type II endoleak is one of the most common complication of endovascular aneurysm repair. The sequela of having a type II endoleak is however unknown.

Because of the overlap in symptomatology with other pathologies it is both commonly overlooked when present and commonly considered when absent. The threshold for investigating suspected VTE has dropped over time, in part due to a greater awareness of the disease among clinicians, but also because of the greater availability of diagnostic tests which are both accurate at positively diagnosing VTE and are patient friendly.

Abstract:

The objectives of the community-based Early Developmental Stages of Psychopathology (EDSP) Study are described along with a detailed account of the overall design, special design features, sample characteristics and instruments used. The EDSP employed a prospective-longitudinal design to study substance use and other mental disorders in a representative population sample of 3,021 subjects aged 14–24 years (birth cohorts 1970–1981) at ‘baseline’ – the outset of the study. Two follow-up investigations were conducted after the baseline investigation covering an overall period of 3–4 years. Specia

Abstract:

Background: A younger age at onset of use of a specific substance is a well-documented risk-factor for a substance use disorder (SUD) related to that specific substance. However, the cross-substance relationship between a younger age at onset of alcohol use (AU) and nicotine use (NU) and the risk of cannabis use disorders (CUD) in adolescence and early adulthood remains unclear. Aims: To identify the sequence of and latency between initial AU/NU and initial cannabis use (CU). To investigate whether younger age at AU- and NU-onset is associated with any and earlier CU-onset and a higher risk o

Abstract:

Utilizando como fuente los libros de defunción del registro civil de Cartagena, se ha extraido una muestra aleatoria de 4040 registros (el 2'5% de todas las defunciones del período). De cada caso se han registrado los datos sociodemográficos (sexo, domicilio, edad, profesión...) que han sido puestos en relación con la causa de defunción. Para alcanzar este objetivo ha sido necesario elaborar un tesauro que permitiera una correcta ordenación y comprensión de las expresiones diagnósticas que informan sobre la causa de muerte. La tasa de mortalidad media fue del 27'5 por mil, con un alto peso de

Abstract:

Our understanding of humoral immune response to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been mainly derived from studies in women. Very little is known about humoral immune response to HPV in men. There is also a growing interest in understanding the burden of HPV exposure in the subgroups of the male population, including men who have sex with women (MSW), men who have sex with men (MSM) and men who have sex with both men and women (MSMW). This dissertation was undertaken to understand and characterize humoral immune response, measured by detectable serum antibody IgG, to HPV 6, 11, 16 and 1
