Blood tests can be used to help a doctor identify a variety of health conditions, including vitamin deficiencies, organ failure, HIV, cancer, diabetes, and more. Let's take a closer look at some common blood tests: https://bit.ly/3PboHcU #MCIDiagnosticsCenter #BloodTest

TARGET REVIEW ON CCR5 Therapeutic area is Stroke Semester 1 Where I spoke about how CCR5 helps for stroke as it was a evidentiary receptor for HIV In a brief absence CCR5  Neurons Will Make A New Connections So while Stroke makes your part of a brain dead , severing those cells the connection with neurons in other regions will be disconnected so decline of CCR5 will help neurons to regain they disconnected abilities . We can develop a therapy by using it

January is #cervicalcancerawareness month. #DidYouKnow that Cervical Cancer is preventable and treatable in early stages? In this video, Olanike Adewuyi, a Public Health Nurse at one of our supported facilities in Oyo State talks about the process of screening and treating precancerous lesions. APIN supports 15 health facilities in Oyo State to provide cervical cancer screening and treatment of precancerous lesions to Women Living with HIV free of charge! Have you been screened for #cervicalcancer? #APINInitiatives #ThisIsAPIN #WorkAtAPIN

My first poster presentation at ASMS 2024, Anaheim, CA. I am talking about how lipids can be used as biomarker for monitoring alcohol consumption in point of care analysis in HIV patients. Here is the timing:

With part of hepCAUSAL team at #CROI2024 presenting my poster on the effect of DAA on hepatocellular carcinoma risk in people with HIV/HCV & severe liver fibrosis using a target trial emulation framework. DAA reduces the 4-year HCC risk by 1% on an absolute scale and 44% on a relative scale. In people with F4 (cirrhosis), estimated annual risk was above the cost-effective threshold (0.4%). Hence continued HCC monitoring is needed. For people with F3, the estimated annual HCC risk was below this threshold. However, confidence intervals were wide and included the 0.4%. A great opportunity to present our work thanks to #CROI2024 scholarship! CAUSALab Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Linda Wittkop , Sara Lodi, Juan Berenguer

Testicular tumors can be influenced by several factors. One significant risk is undescended testicles, where one or both testicles don't move down into the scrotum before birth. Family history matters too; having a close relative with testicular cancer increases the risk. Certain health conditions, like Klinefelter syndrome or HIV infection, also heighten the chances. Age plays a role, with most cases occurring between the late teens and early 30s. Other factors include race (white men are more likely to develop it) and personal history of testicular cancer. While these factors increase risk, not everyone with them will get testicular cancer, and some people without them may still develop it. Regular check-ups can help catch it early.
