Persistent Low Level Viraemia in Antiretroviral Treated Patients: Associated Factors and Virologic Outcome among HIV-1 Infected Patients at Nyakach County Hospital

Abstract/Overview Antiretroviral treatment (ART) assists patients in controlling their HIV infection and ensuring long-term survival. Despite this advantage, a significant number of HIV-positive individuals do not attain full virologic suppression. The purpose of this research was to determine the prevalence of low-level viraemia, its impact on outcome, and related factors in HIV-1 infected patients receiving ART at Nyakach County Hospital in Kisumu, Kenya.

A novel data-mining model for automated prediction of low birth weight

Abstract: Birth weight is one of the major factors that determine the overall future health outcomes. Predicting birth weight can enable medical practitioners to make early obstetric interventions, thus minimising complications associated with low birth weight. Data-mining models are receiving a great deal of attention for making predictions based on a vast amount of low birth data. Low birth weight research has especially focused on identifying the risk factors of low birth weight However, ...

Understanding the Systemic Effects of COVID-19: Possible Clues to Potential Therapeutic Approaches
