Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent Preventive Treatment with Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine in Ugandan Schoolchildren Selects for Plasmodium falciparum Transporter Polymorphisms That Modify Drug Sensitivity.
Joaniter I. Nankabirwa,Melissa D. Conrad,Jennifer Legac,Stephen Tukwasibwe,Patrick K Tumwebaze,Bonnie Wandera,Simon Brooker,Sarah G. Staedke,Moses R. Kamya,Sam L. Nsobya,Grant Dorsey,Philip J. Rosenthal +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that parasites that emerged soon after treatment with DP were more likely than parasites not under drug pressure to harbor pfmdr1 and pfcrt polymorphisms associated with decreased sensitivity to aminoquinoline antimalarials.
Journal Article
First-line antiretroviral therapy in Africa--how evidence-base are our recommendations?
Robert Colebunders,Moses R. Kamya,John Laurence,Andrew Kambugu,Helen Byakwaga,Patricia Songa Mwebaze,Alex Muganzi Muganga,Michael Katwere,Elly Katabira +8 more
TL;DR: The results of the 2NN and different cohort studies performed in developed countries do not provide sufficient evidence by which to select between nevirapine and efavirenz as the first-line NNRTI for antiretroviral therapy in Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reductions in malaria in pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes following indoor residual spraying of insecticide in Uganda
Mary K. Muhindo,Abel Kakuru,Paul Natureeba,Patricia Awori,Peter Olwoch,John Ategeka,Patience Nayebare,Tamara D. Clark,Atis Muehlenbachs,Michelle E. Roh,Betty Mpeka,Bryan Greenhouse,Diane V. Havlir,Moses R. Kamya,Grant Dorsey,Prasanna Jagannathan +15 more
TL;DR: In this setting, IRS was temporally associated with lower malaria parasite prevalence during pregnancy and at delivery, and improved birth outcomes, suggesting it may represent an important tool for combating malaria in pregnancy and for improving birth outcomes in malaria-endemic settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of the ligase detection reaction fluorescent microsphere assay for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum resistance mediating polymorphisms in Uganda
Sheila Nankoberanyi,George W Mbogo,Norbert P. LeClair,Melissa D. Conrad,Patrick K Tumwebaze,Stephen Tukwasibwe,Moses R. Kamya,Jordan W. Tappero,Samuel L. Nsobya,Philip J. Rosenthal +9 more
TL;DR: The LDR-FM assay provides a high throughput, relatively inexpensive and accurate assay for the surveillance of P. falciparum SNPs associated with drug resistance in resource-limited countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic differences in the prevalence of hypertension in Uganda: Results of a national epidemiological study.
Joseph Lunyera,Bruce Kirenga,John W. Stanifer,Samuel Kasozi,Thys van der Molen,Wenceslaus Katagira,Moses R. Kamya,Robert Kalyesubula +7 more
TL;DR: Hypertension is starkly prevalent in Uganda, and numerous more people, including young adults are at increased risk, and the potential additional impact of epidemiological shifts, including diet and lifestyle changes, on the development of hypertension is explored.
