TL;DR: The systems capacity building approach to PhD training is an efficient and productive training model that allowed strong outputs at lower cost and with relatively few additional mentors to rapidly achieve a critical mass of independent scientists able to conduct original research and mentor others.

TL;DR: Systemic symptoms were strongly associated with death in the early period after HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma diagnosis, whereas tumor status was most predictive ofdeath in the 4- to 24-month period, suggesting that different processes may influence outcomes in early and late periods following KS diagnosis.

TL;DR: There was long-term, continuous, immunologic recovery up to 7 years after ART initiation in an urban Ugandan cohort and Virologically suppressed women had better sustained immune recovery than men.

TL;DR: A qualitative study documented HIV-related stigma across eight communities in east Africa during the baseline year of a large HIV test-and-treat trial (SEARCH, NCT: 01864603), prior to implementation of widespread community HIV testing campaigns and efforts to link individuals with HIV to care and treatment as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Key outcomes of this approach have been the completion of formal training of the first interventional cardiologists and heart failure specialists in the country, establishment of 4 integrated regional centers of excellence in rheumatic heart disease care, a penicillin distribution and adherence support program focused on retention in care, access to imaging technology, and in-country capabilities to treat advanced rheatic valve disease.
