Identification of sources from which doctors in the private sector obtain information on HIV and AIDS.
(MedPharm, 2010)Background: Doctors need to constantly update their knowledge and obtain information in order to practise high-quality medicine. Antiretroviral drugs have been available only since around 1996, therefore many of the doctors ... -
Identification of suicidal ideation in HIV-infected patients : development of a suicide risk assessment tool and a suicide intervention plan for HIV-infected patients following voluntary counselling and testing.
(2015-01-05)ABSTRACT Background. Globally, suicide and HIV/AIDS remain two of the greatest healthcare issues, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where approximately 85% of suicides occur. Every year, more than 800,000 ... -
The immunocytochemical and electrophoretic localisation of aflatoxin B1-binding proteins in isolated liver mitochondria.
(1998)Mitochondria perform functions which are central to the life of most eukaryotic cells. These organelles can be considered the ultimate energy power house of a living cell. The role of mitochondria in cancer phenotype remains ... -
An immunocytochemical study of the kallikrein-kinin system on the circulating neutrophil.
(1996)Inflammation is the normal biological response to tissue injury, and is characterised by the interactive activation of multiple mediators and cell types. One response to tissue injury is the production of pain, not only ... -
An immunohistochemical and microsatellite analysis of nephroblastomas.
(2008)The aims of this study were: (i) to determine the association between p53, bcl-2, pRb, p21, cyclin A and p-glycoprotein immunoexpression and prognosis, and (ii) to determine the frequency of loss of heterozygosity and ... -
Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evaluation of the pathology and aetiopathogenesis of keloid formation.
(2013)Introduction Keloids are formed by the excessive production of scar tissue, which extends beyond the margins of the original injury, often resulting in lesions of grotesque dimensions. Keloids present a major dilemma ... -
An immunohistochemical evaluation of the effect of salt (NaCI) on adrenal adrenomedullin content in Dahl rats.
(2003)Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a 52 amino acid vasodilator peptide isolated, in 1993, from human pheochromocytoma. It has been demonstrated in the adrenal medulla of several mammalian species, including humans and rats. There ... -
Immunopathogenesis of vulvo-vaginal candidiasis in human immunodeficiency virus infected women.
(2014)Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an important cause of lower genital tract infections in women. There are currently numerous clinical observations linking increased cases of symptomatic VVC to the progression of HIV ... -
The impact of a school-based physical activity intervention on learners' health behaviour.
(2014)Introduction: Five percent of South African youth are obese, 20% overweight, 13% stunted and eight percent is underweight. Physical activity among children and adolescents is believed to be insufficient and low levels ... -
Impact of delayed introduction of sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and artemether-lumefantrine on malaria epidemiology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
(2007)Background The years 1985 to 1988 and 1997 to 2001, were periods of high morbidity and mortality due to malaria in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. One reason for the increased burden of disease was the emergence of drug ... -
The impact of HIV infection when superimposed on pulmonary tuberculosis (either active or sequelae tuberculosis) on the success of bronchial artery embolisation.
(2011)ABSTRACT Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) rates in Kwa Zulu Natal (KZN) is amongst the highest in the South Africa and is often associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) co-infection. Bronchial Artery Embolisation ... -
Impact of HIV/AIDS on education and poverty.
(UN Department of Public Information., 2011)South Africa has the largest number of children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. In the face of AIDS, poverty, and violence, education is a precious right for the children of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. -
Impact of immune-driven sequence variation in HIV-1 subtype C Gagprotease on viral fitness and disease progression.
(2011)Understanding of the viral and host factors that determine time for progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) could aid in the design ... -
Impact of injectable hormonal contraceptives on innate immune environment in the genital tract in women at high risk for HIV-1 infection.
(2015)Abstract available in PDF file. -
The impact of Laduma, a health education intervention, on the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and practices regarding sexually transmitted infections among secondary school learners in KwaZulu-Natal.
(2005)Purpose To evaluate the impact of Laduma, a health education intervention, on the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and practices regarding sexually transmitted infections among secondary school learners in KwaZulu-Natal. ... -
The impact of lean thinking on operational efficiency in a rural district hospital outpatient department in KwaZulu-Natal.
(2013)Introduction Health-care service in South Africa, especially in the public sector, is fraught with numerous problems, including ineffective operations management in health care facilities. This contributes to poor service ... -
Impact of p2/NC cleavage site polymorphisms on HIV-1 subtype C viral fitness.
(2013-11-08)Subtype C accounts for the majority of HIV infections and in South Africa, is the dominant subtype. The Gag cleavage sites of subtype C viruses show a high degree of natural variation compared to subtype B and group M ... -
Impact of Pharmacists’ Intervention on the knowledge of HIV infected patients in a public sector hospital of KwaZulu-Natal.
(AOSIS, 2011)Background: The study site started its roll-out of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention of mother-to-child transmission in 2006. All patients were counselled by trained counsellors, before seeing a doctor. At ... -
The impact of pneumonia in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infected pregnant women on perinatal and early infant mortality.
(2007)Background: Although the prevalence of pneumonia in pregnancy is reported to be less than 1%, the pregnant state and risk factors associated with the development of pneumonia adversely influence the outcome of pregnancy. ... -
The impact of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and genital tract inflammation on HIV-1 acquisition and rate of disease progression in subtype C infected women.
(2014)Introduction: Women carry more than half the burden of HIV disease globally and this burden is even higher in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Young women, in particular, are at disproportionate risk of HIV infection in South ...
