Abstract:

Individuals or groups will form impressions of another based upon a series of traits, which may be relied upon when forming behaviour pattern towards others (Asch, 1946; Crocker and Major, 1989; Pinel, 1999; Albon, 2002; Corrigan and Wassel, 2008). These traits will depict the reception individuals receive within healthcare and may depend upon learnt and inherited ‘perceived’ ideals affecting the working and personal relationships experienced by positively diagnosed healthcare workers, predisposing stigma responses to others (Asch, 1946).

Abstract:

A recent study showed that a polymorphism ~35kb upstream of the HLA-C gene (-35 SNP) correlates with host control of HIV-1 in Caucasians, with the minor allele (C) associating with significantly lower set point viral loads than the major allele (T). A link between viral load and HLA-C is suggested by linkage of the two SNP alleles with different HLA-C alleles and by the fact that HLA-C, in contrast to HLA-A and -B, is not down-regulated by HIV-1 Nef protein. In addition, the -35C variant has been shown to associate with higher HLA-C messenger RNA expression in EBV-transformed B cell lines. We

Abstract:

Within East African countries many of the known infectious diseases of animals occur commonly and are poorly controlled. Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the contagious viral diseases that has great impact on economic development both in terms of direct and indirect losses. The epidemiology of the disease is complex due to the presence of six of the seven serotypes and the presence of large numbers of both wild and domestic susceptible animals in the region.

Abstract:

This study proposes to directly test the hypothesis that antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) is the critical factor in the development of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in infants. DHF occurs in two distinct clinical settings: a) in children and adults with secondary DENV infection, and b) in infants with primary DENV infection born to mothers with prior DENV infection. The ADE hypothesis proposes that pre-existing serotype-cross-reactive non-neutralizing anti-DENV antibodies bind the heterotypic DENV during secondary infection and enhance its uptake into immune cells, leading to increased vi

Background: Rituximab has emerged as a highly successful treatment in patients with severe-refractory autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) including pemphigus vulgaris.

The B cell depleting action of rituximab occurs within 2 weeks of the first infusion and persists for an average of 11 months. Patients with AIBD on rituximab, often receive concurrent therapy with steroids and immunosuppressive agents. Thus, the B cell depleting action of rituximab occurs in

Clostridium difficile is a leading healthcare-associated infection, which causes diarrhoea, and is almost exclusively precipitated by antibiotic exposure. Traditionally C. difficile infection (CDI) has been considered predominantly transmitted within hospitals. However, endemic spread hampers identification of the source of infections, and therefore control and prevention of disease. A cohort of consecutive hospital and community CDI cases in Oxfordshire from September 2007 to March 2011 was investigated.

Effective control of chronic viral infections may require the generation of polyfunctional T cells (PFCs) which are capable of producing multiple cytokines and possess cytotoxic function. In this study, I investigate (i) whether PFCs play an important role in the long term immune control of a persistent human virus, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), (ii) the relationship between the development of immunodominance and functionality during the evolution of the anti-viral T cell responses, and (iii) whether PFCs can be generated in patients with EBV-associated haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).

Viral loads, antibody titers, symptom scores and body temperature are a few of the outcome variables commonly studied. Longitudinal EI data are inherently nonlinear, often with

Abstract:

South Africa‘s high prevalence of HIV/AIDS coupled with a high crime rate and incidence of sexual violence necessitated the enquiry and study into the role of criminal law to address the wilful transmission of HIV.1 This study shows that criminal law can be used to punish offenders for wrongdoing and therefore finds application in the wilful transmission of HIV.2 The study distinguishes the dividing line between the justifiable use of criminal law and where use of the criminal law becomes discriminatory in nature and counterproductive to public health measures.

Abstract:

C. pylori have been shown to be associated with gastritis and peptic ulceration, but the mechanism of their pathogenicity is unknown. Since a number of virulence factors are known to be plasmid mediated, it was decided to study the plasmids of C. pylori. A variety of techniques were used to establish the best method of plasmid extraction from C. pylori. The method of alkaline lysis as described by Birnboim and Doly was shown to give the most consistent results and the greatest plasmid yield. Plasmid DNA was found in 54% (26 out of 48) of the isolates examined and the plasmids varied in size fr

Abstract:

The epidemiology and natural history of Hepatitis C has been studied in a large geographically determined population (Trent HCV study). It has previously been suggested that patients with Hepatitis C and a persistently normal Alanine aminotransferase (PNALT) represent a group of patients with mild disease and at low risk of disease progression. Patients with PNALT were, therefore, compared to those with an elevated ALT. The majority of patients initially fulfilling the definition of a PNALT had an abnormal ALT within 3 years of follow-up. They also demonstrated similar rates of fibrosis progre

Abstract:

Worldwide millions of children are victims of neglect and physical and mental harm, including sexual abuse and exploitation. South Africa, however, is widely believed to have not only one of the highest incidences of rape in the world, but also one of the highest levels of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) transmission. With research findings showing that HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are rapidly increasing globally, young people are, and continue to be, at the forefront of the AIDS pandemic. Therefore, it is suggested that pre

Abstract:

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains an epidemic illness with no known cure. Survival time after infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has been lengthened considerably. Rates of new infection among the at-risk male homosexual populations have decreased. Prevention is possible through effective, targeted interventions. This study is an exploration of the role or health locus of control, an individual difference construct from the area of social learning theory, in the maintenance of health-oriented behaviours, co-risk indicative behaviours, and high-risk behaviours
