Burkitt and Burkitt-like lymphoma/leukaemia at Groote Schuur Hospital from 2005 to 2014: a retrospective review by Koller, Anna J

“…The HIV seropositive population is at increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, particularly high grade aggressive subtypes such as Burkitt- and Burkittlike lymphoma (also known as B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma). Methods: Ten year retrospective review of clinico-pathological features and survival of adults with newly diagnosed Burkitt- and Burkitt-like lymphoma at a tertiary hospital in South Africa. …”

Measured and calculated dose distributions in the “claws” – a specially designed gold applicator loaded with I-125 seeds by Trauernicht, Christoph Jan

“…The four legs that are now sutured onto the ring give it a claw-like appearance, hence the name for the applicator. …”

The predictors and patterns of alcohol use in HIV positive women during their postpartum period, and how these impact viral load. by Mazubane, Thandeka

“…We also found an association between hazardous, risky/dependent alcohol use and viral load, where hazardous drinkers and risky/dependent were 3 and 5 times more likely to have a suboptimal (>1000 copies/ml) viral load, respectively. …”

HIV viral load monitoring in HIV-infected pregnant women established on antiretroviral therapy in Cape Town, South Africa by Tsondai, Priscilla Ruvimbo

“…Pregnant women with elevated VL >1000 copies/mL were more likely to have been on ART for longer (p=0.049), report at least 2 missed ART doses in the preceding 30 days (p=0.043) and be on a protease inhibitorbased regimen (p=0.016). …”

Diagnosis and prognosis of rolling element bearings at low speeds and varying load conditions using higher order statistics and artificial intelligence

“…By applying this method, processing of acoustic emission signal at low speed and varying load condition could be very useful by providing details about the signal which the conventional second order statistics cannot. …”

Prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV services: viral load testing among pregnant women living with HIV in Mutare District of Manicaland Province, Zimbabwe by Musanhu, Christine Chiedza Chakanyuka

“…There was no significant difference when this variable was stratified by time of ART initiation. Viral load samples were significantly less likely to be collected at local authority facilities compared to government facilities [aOR=0.28; 95% CI: 0.16- 0.48]. …”

How accurately do routinely reported HIV viral load suppression proportions reflect progress towards the 90-90-90 target in the population on ART in Khayelitsha, South Africa? by Euvrard, Jonathan George

“…Background: In 2016, Khayelitsha reported almost 89% viral load (VL) suppression but less than 56% completion on routine quarterly reports, casting doubt on the validity of reported suppression. …”
