Cost-effectiveness of leveraging existing HIV primary health systems and community health workers for hypertension screening and treatment in Africa: An individual-based modeling s... by Matthew D Hickey, James Ayieko, Jane Kabami, Asiphas Owaraganise, Elijah Kakande, Sabina Ogachi, Colette I Aoko, Erick M Wafula, Norton Sang, Helen Sunday, Paul Revill, Loveleen Bansi-Matharu, Starley B Shade, Gabriel Chamie, Laura B Balzer, Maya L Petersen, Diane V Havlir, Moses R Kamya, Andrew N Phillips

“…We evaluated 2 policies compared to current hypertension treatment: (1) expansion of HIV primary care clinics into chronic care clinics that provide hypertension treatment for all persons regardless of HIV status (chronic care clinic or CCC policy); and (2) CCC plus population-level hypertension screening of adults ≥40 years of age by community health workers (CHW policy). For our primary analysis, we used a cost-effectiveness threshold of US $500 per disability-adjusted life-year (DALY) averted, a 3% annual discount rate, and a 50-year time horizon. …”

Exhaustion of CD8pos central memory regulatory T cell differentiation is involved in renal allograft rejection by Florian Kälble, Jonas Leonhard, Jonas Leonhard, Martin Zeier, Oliver Zivanovic, Matthias Schaier, Andrea Steinborn

“…We were investigating whether changed differentiation of CCR7posCD45RAposCD31pos recent thymic emigrant (RTE) cells via CD45RAnegCD31pos memory (CD31pos memory) cells (pathway 1), via direct proliferation (pathway 2), or via CCR7posCD45RA+CD31neg resting mature naïve (MN) cells (pathway 3) into CD45RAnegCD31neg memory (CD31neg memory) cells affects the CD8pos Treg/Tresp ratio or identifies a CD8pos Treg/Tresp subset that predicts or confirms renal allograft rejection.ResultsWe found that RTE Treg differentiation via pathway 1 was age-independently increased in KTR, who developed graft rejection during the follow-up period, leading to abundant MN Treg and central memory Treg (CM Treg) production and favoring a strongly increased CD8pos Treg/Tresp ratio. …”
