Sero-prevalence of latent Toxoplasma gondii infection among HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected people in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A comparative cross-sectional study.

BMC research notes

Shimelis T, Tebeje M, Tadesse E, Tegbaru B, Terefe A.
PMID: 19852805
BMC Res Notes. 2009 Oct 23;2:213. doi: 10.1186/1756-0500-2-213.

BACKGROUND: Toxoplasmosis in immuno-compromised hosts manifests primarily as a life threatening condition, toxoplasmic encephalitis. However, there is scarce information about the magnitude of Toxoplasma gondii infection among HIV-infected people in Ethiopia. This study was, therefore, conducted to determine the...

Ovarian cancer is the most aggressive female reproductive tract tumours. Taxane (paclitaxel; TX) is widely used for ovarian cancer treatment. However, ovarian cancers often acquire chemoresistance. MicroRNAs (miR) have been reported to mediate many tumours'chemoresistance. We investigated the role...

Antibiotic Cement Spacer and Induced Membrane Bone Grafting in Open Fractures with Bone Loss: A Case Series.
