Prevalence and associated factors of HIV among female sex workers in Eastern and Southern Africa: Systematic review and meta-analysis. by Tigabu Kidie Tesfie, Getaneh Awoke Yismaw, Bantie Getnet Yirsaw, Habtamu Wagnew Abuhay, Meron Asmamaw Alemayehu, Nebiyu Mekonnen Derseh, Gebrie Getu Alemu, Muluken Chanie Agimas

“…<h4>Background</h4>Female sex workers (FSWs) are marginalized groups of the population who have limited access to healthcare and a higher risk of HIV infection due to biobehavioral and structural risk factors. Although it is known that the Eastern and Southern African region is affected by the highest HIV incidence and prevalence, understanding the burden among FSWs in the region remains limited. …”

Ventricular volume adjustment of brain regions depicts brain changes associated with HIV infection and aging better than intracranial volume adjustment by Benedictor Alexander Nguchu, Benedictor Alexander Nguchu, Jing Zhao, Jiajun Fan, Yifei Han, Yu Lu, Han Jin, Yanming Wang, Hongjun Li, Peter Shaw

“…IntroductionWhile the adjustment of intracranial volume (ICV) is reported to have a significant influence in the outcomes of the analyses of brain structural measures, our study offers a paradigm shift, positing that adjusting for lateral ventricle (LV) inter-individual variability may reveal more atrophic patterns that might be overlooked in analyses without this adjustment,—and such LV-adjusted atrophic patterns may reduce discrepancies observed in earlier studies and better elucidate complex conditions associated with HIV, such as HAND.MethodsTo test this hypothesis, we employed a number of adjustment strategies on MRI T1-image-derived data extracted using deep learning models and compared their ability to identify the presence and extent of HIV-specific atrophic patterns based on statistical measures and strength.ResultsOur results show that both ICV adjustments may be effective to identify atrophic patterns associated with either aging or HIV in areas of the thalamus, basal ganglia, ventral DC and lateral ventricle, some of which may be overlooked without these adjustments. …”
