Data for: Oral versus Intravenous Antibiotics for Bone and Joint Infection – Randomised controlled trial
No full textThe management of complex orthopedic infections usually includes a prolonged course of intravenous antibiotic agents. The OVIVA study investigated whether oral antibiotic therapy is noninferior to intravenous antibiotic therapy for this indication.
We collected data on 1054 adults treated for bone of joint infection at 26 UK centres.
Participants were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous or oral antibiotics to complete the first 6 weeks of therapy.
The primary end point was definitive treatment failure within 1 year after randomisation. Additional data on clinical variables (including information on line complications, episodes of C-Diff), antibiotic use, clinical reviews, severe adverse events, inpatient admissions and patient reported outcomes (EQ-5D-3L and Oxford Hip Score/ Oxford Knee Score for participants with infections in their hips/ knees). </p
Replication Data for: Twenty-Seven Years of Clinical Surveillance of Severe Malaria in Kilifi County, Kenya
No full textThis dataset contains clinical data from 18,000 children with severe malaria admitted to Kilifi County Hospital, Kenya, during a 27-year period of reducing transmission. Data collection was done through continuous surveillance of hospital admissions is ongoing in KCH since May 1989 as a partnership between the Research Programme and Kilifi County Department of Health. The dataset also includes demographic characteristics and malaria control activities such as distributions of insecticide-treated bed nets. A more detailed description of the data collection methodology is included in the related publication. </p

“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 26Region: Upper NileThis picture and bio was donated to the Lost Boys Found project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

Associations between antibodies to a panel of Plasmodium falciparum specific antigens and response to sub-optimal antimalarial therapy in Kampala, Uganda.
No full textAntibodies are important in the control of blood stage Plasmodium falciparum infection. It is unclear which antibody responses are responsible for, or even associated with protection, partly due to confounding by heterogeneous exposure. Assessment of response to partially effective antimalarial therapy, which requires the host to assist in clearing parasites, offers an opportunity to measure protection independent of exposure.A cohort of children aged 1-10 years in Kampala, Uganda were treated with amodiaquine+sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for uncomplicated malaria. Serum samples from the time of malaria diagnosis and 14 days later were analyzed for total IgG to 8 P. falciparum antigens using a quantitative indirect ELISA. Associations between antibody levels and risk of treatment failure were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression.Higher levels of antibodies to apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA-1), but to none of the other 7 antigens were significantly associated with protection against treatment failure (HR 0.57 per 10-fold increase in antibody level, CI 0.41-0.79, p = 0.001). Protection increased consistently across the entire range of antibody levels.Measurement of antibody levels to AMA-1 at the time of malaria may offer a quantitative biomarker of blood stage immunity to P. falciparum, a tool which is currently lacking
Motion and mobility in the realist novels of Philip K Dick
No full textThis essay explores the ways that ideas of motion and mobility support readings of Philip K Dick's early novels that take full account of the changing geographical context. They are set during a period of rapid suburban expansion, the building of the interstate and the spread of automobility through car ownership, and their characters frequently exist in a state between continuity through conformity and the potential for change. The open ended forms of the novels reflect a world around Dick that was still under construction, and where alternative realities can be glimpsed between incomplete materialities
