HIV infection was significantly associated [...] with TB caused by an allopatric (as opposed to sympatric) M. tuberculosis lineage (OR 7.0, 95% CI 2.5-19.1, p
Outcome of delivery and cause-specific mortality and severe morbidity in early infancy: a Kenyan District Hospital birth cohort (Publications)
were delivered. Of these, 136 (6%) were stillborn and 77 (3.5%) subsequently died. Prematurity (34%), birth asphyxia (27%), and infection (18.5%) were the predominant causes of death in the first 98 days
beta-Branched acyclic nucleoside analogues as inhibitors of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dUTPase (Publications)
beta-branched acyclic tritylated deoxyuridine analogues as inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum deoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (PfdUTPase), an enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism that acts [...] potency and selectivity compared with previously reported analogues. The best inhibitor gave a K(i) of 0.5muM against PfdUTPase with selectivity greater than 200-fold compared to the corresponding human enzyme

Synthesis and biological evaluation of substrate-based inhibitors of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase as potential drugs against African... (Publications)
biological evaluation of three series of 6-phosphogluconate (6PG) analogues is described. (2R)-2-Methyl-4,5-dideoxy, (2R)-2-methyl-4-deoxy and 2,4-dideoxy analogues of 6PG were tested as inhibitors of 6-phos [...] inhibitors belong to the (2R)-2-methyl-4-deoxy series (6, 8, 10, 12, 21, 24) and one is a (2R)-2-methyl-4,5-dideoxy analogue (29b). The 2,4-dideoxy analogues of 6PG did not inhibit both enzymes. The trypanocidal
