Abstract:
The study involved retrospective data analysis using statistical methods to re-analyse data collected during a long-term study in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus infected population of South African National Defence Force employees and their dependents, where different parameters related to treatment and disease status of HIV infected patients were collected. This study attempted to identify possible predictors of both early and late occurrence of first-line antiretroviral therapy virologic failure, potential predictors of first-line antiretroviral virologic failure and for switching to second

Abstract:
The management of patients failing second line antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a critical area of study considering the increasing numbers of patients on second line regimens, and the expense and poor availability of third line ART. Most patients who experience virologic failure (VF) on second line ART in low-middle income countries fail due to poor adherence rather than antiretroviral resistance. Pharmacy refill is an easily implementable adherence measure which has shown to correlate with viral load monitoring and survival, and has potential over the short term to be used as a simple adheren

Abstract:
Poor decision making among clinicians to transferring human immune deficiency virus (HIV) patients into second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to an increase in morbidity and mortality to people living with HIV (PLHIV). No clear barriers are known for clinicians not switching their patients. This is a descriptive qualitative research aimed to discover obstacles that influence clinicians' decision making to transferring patients into second-line ART despite higher level resistance to first-line ART. The researcher applied a participatory action research framework to solve the identifi

Abstract:
Thesis (MPH) -- University of Limpopo (Medunsa Campus), 2011.<br>Background Available and affordable second-line antiretroviral treatment regimens are a key component of universal access to treatment and its continuation. However, providing second-line ART is affected by a number of factors including infrastructure, skills and cod competency of available personnel, cost and availability of second-line drugs. Like first-line antiretroviral agents, second-line drugs have also inherent toxicities. While these have been described in adults, few studies reported this in children. Hence, the need

Abstract:
Context: Although other factors independent of their blood pressure (BP) lowering effect may contribute to the reduction in morbidity and mortality associated with antihypertensive drugs, efficacy of an antihypertensive treatment is gauged by the magnitude of BP reduction. Diuretics are widely prescribed for hypertension not only as first-line monotherapy but also second-line in combination therapy. Therefore, it is essential to determine the effects of diuretics on BP, heart rate (HR) and withdrawals due to adverse effects (WDAEs) when used second-line for hypertension. Objectives: 1) To quan

It has two forms: acute and chronic. In this work we’ll only address the chronic one (cGVHD). cGVHD is a very frequent complication of the transplant (up to 50% of the patients) and a major one, given its high mortality rate, being the main cause of death in these patients, apart from the recurrence of the primary malignancy.

Abstract:
Southern Africa has the highest prevalence of HIV worldwide, and South Africa has the highest number of HIV infected people. South Africa and other resource-limited countries provide antiretroviral therapy (ART) for people with HIV, with limited, standardized regimens for first line and second line. Patients who fail first line treatment are put on second line regimens, yet options for third line are very limited. The first study looks at predictors of first line treatment failure in South Africa and develops a predictive model that can estimate absolute risk of treatment failure over 5 ye

Abstract:
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has caused a global scare with mainly poor African countries suffering the greatest burden. Treatment of HIV is more of palliation rather than cure such that there is no room for treatment interruption if treatment goals are to be met. Antiretroviral treatment is associated with short term and long term side effects which have the potential to negatively impact on the high levels of adherence to treatment that is required to maintain virological suppression and may eventually lead to development of dr

Mental disorders affect a substantial proportion of our society and the importance of mental health became an even hotter topic after the Covid-19pandemic resulted in social isolation.
