Lack of association between chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke and markers of right ventricular pressure overload at high altitude
(Elsevier, 2014)
Chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke has been implicated in the development of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular pressure/volume overload through activation of inflammation, increase in vascular resistance, ...
Sampling Methodologies for Epidemiologic Surveillance of Men Who Have Sex with Men and Transgender Women in Latin America: An Empiric Comparison of Convenience Sampling, Time Space Sampling, and Respondent Driven Sampling
(Springer, 2014)
Alternatives to convenience sampling (CS) are needed for HIV/STI surveillance of most-at-risk populations in Latin America. We compared CS, time space sampling (TSS), and respondent driven sampling (RDS) for recruitment ...
Stunting, adiposity, and the individual-level "dual burden" among urban lowland and rural highland peruvian children
(Wiley, 2014)
The causes of the “dual burden” of stunting and obesity remain unclear, and its existence at the individual level varies between populations. We investigate whether the individual dual burden differentially affects low ...
Structural determinants of indigenous health: A photovoice study in the Peruvian Amazon
(SAGE Publications, 2014)
Indigenous populations in the Americas carry a disproportionate burden of disease. Common to populations affected by health inequities is the exposure to structural factors—social, political, environmental and economic—that ...
Erythropoietin's inhibiting impact on hepcidin expression occurs indirectly
(American Physiological Society, 2015)
Under conditions of accelerated erythropoiesis, elevated erythropoietin (Epo) levels are associated with inhibition of hepcidin synthesis, a response that ultimately increases iron availability to meet the enhanced iron ...
Aerobic capacity of Peruvian Quechua: a test of the developmental adaptation hypothesis
(Wiley, 2015)
High altitude natives are reported to have outstanding work capacity in spite of the challenge of oxygen transport and delivery in hypoxia. To evaluate the developmental effect of lifelong exposure to hypoxia on aerobic ...
When Sex Work Becomes Your Everything: The Complex Linkages Between Economy and Affection Among Male Sex Workers in Peru
(SAGE Publications, 2014)
In Peru, there are few studies on male sex workers (MSWs), and existing studies explore limited subgroups or offer limited information about MSWs’ perspectives. This study provides in-depth perspectives from 40 MSWs who ...
Birth month associations with height, head circumference, and limb lengths among peruvian children
(Wiley, 2014)
Associations between season of birth and body size, morbidity, and mortality have been widely documented, but it is unclear whether different parts of the body are differentially sensitive, and if such effects persist ...
Preterm birth risk at high altitude in Peru
(Elsevier, 2015)
High altitude has been implicated in a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes including preeclampsia and stillbirth. Smaller studies show conflicting data on the association between high altitude and preterm birth (PTB). ...
Effects of dosage, comorbidities, and food on Isoniazid pharmacokinetics in peruvian tuberculosis patients
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)
Poor response to tuberculosis (TB) therapy might be attributable to subtherapeutic levels in drug-compliant patients. Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters can be affected by several factors, such as comorbidities or the interaction ...
