Harmony in healthcare: recommended infant feeding practices and associated factors among HIV positive mothers in Eastern Ethiopian hospitals.
J Health Popul Nutr
January 2025
Department of Health Promotion, School of Public Health, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Wollo University, Dessie, Ethiopia.
Background: For mothers identified as HIV-infected, recommended infant feeding practices must prioritize the highest likelihood of ensuring HIV-free survival for their children while preserving maternal health. Consequently, understanding the feeding status during critical infancy stages, especially under the risk of HIV, plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life within this specific population segment. Hence, this study was conducted to assess the magnitude and associated factors of recommended infant feeding practices and its associated factors among HIV-positive mothers in Eastern Ethiopian Hospitals.

The rising global incidence of syphilis underscores the risk of transmission through blood transfusions. Treponema pallidum, the pathogen responsible for syphilis, represents a major public health challenge. Accurate detection is essential for controlling the disease, particularly in asymptomatic blood donors.

Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Mount Sinai Hospital.
Purpose: To investigate if Yttrium-90 radioembolization (Y90 TARE) is a safe and effective treatment in people living with HIV (PLWH) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) across the BCLC stage spectrum.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of all patients with HCC presented at a multidisciplinary institutional liver tumor board who underwent Y90 TARE between January 2014 and June 2023. Thirty-nine patients with documented HIV seropositivity prior to Y90 TARE and adherence to HAART were included.
Levels of Cytomegalovirus-Reactive Antibody and γδ T Cell Phenotypes Align with Vascular Changes in People Living With HIV.

People living with HIV (PLWH) beginning antiretroviral therapy (ART) retain a high burden of cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMV has been implicated in atherosclerosis in healthy adults, and a role in PLWH is plausible. Atherosclerosis has also been linked with γδ T cells and CMV seropositivity with altered γδ T cell profiles in other populations.
