Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia in a tropical setting: Patient outcome and impact of antibiotic resistance
(PLoS ONE, 2009)
Background: Most information on invasive Staphylococcus aureus infections comes from
temperate countries. There are considerable knowledge gaps in epidemiology, treatment,
drug resistance and outcome of invasive S. aureus ...
Construct and differential item functioning in the assessment of prescription opioid use disorders among American adolescents.
(Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2009-05)
OBJECTIVE:To examine the psychometric properties of diagnostic criteria for prescription
analgesic opioid use disorders (OUDs) and to identify background predictors of a latent
continuum for OUD liability. METHOD:Data were ...
Common genetic variation and the control of HIV-1 in humans.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-12)
To extend the understanding of host genetic determinants of HIV-1 control, we performed
a genome-wide association study in a cohort of 2,554 infected Caucasian subjects.
The study was powered to detect common genetic variants ...
Using decision analysis to improve malaria control policy making.
(Health Policy, 2009-10)
Malaria and other vector-borne diseases represent a significant and growing burden
in many tropical countries. Successfully addressing these threats will require policies
that expand access to and use of existing control ...

Neuropeptide Y gene polymorphisms confer risk of early-onset atherosclerosis.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-01)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a strong candidate gene for coronary artery disease (CAD).
We have previously identified genetic linkage to familial CAD in the genomic region
of NPY. We performed follow-up genetic, biostatistical, ...
