description: Philodryas laticeps Werner, 1900
Type locality. “Santa Catharina, Brasilien,” tentatively located as Ilha de Santa Catarina, Florianópolis, Brazil, in Zaher et al. (2008b). However, a similarly named village (Santa Catarina, currently in Juramento municipality) is also found in northeastern Minas Gerais, close to confirmed records of this rare snake.
Distribution. Known from few and scattered records in Bolivia and Brazil (Plt. 300A). Apparently two disjunct populations, in Bolivia and southeastern Brazil, including eastern Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo.In Brazil,recorded in the Atlantic Forest (Plt. 300A), mostly at intermediate to high elevations (Plt. 300B). No detailed field data on habitat use are available for this species.

title: Understanding tuberculosis dynamics in the United Kingdom using mathematical modelling
Creators: name: Keen, AR
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2013

description: In the UK, tuberculosis incidence has risen from the mid-1980s until recently, with the proportion of cases in foreign-born patients increasing to more than 70% of total cases today. Because several features of tuberculosis epidemiology in the UK are unclear, a simulation model was applied to better understand the epidemiology of tuberculosis in the UK. The model was first used to estimate age- and birthplace-dependent risks of disease progression for those infected via the different disease progression pathways-recent infection, reinfection, and latent infection-by fitting the model to incident cases in England and Wales from 1999 - 2009. Results showed that UK-born risks were lower than previous estimates, though foreign-born risks were an estimated 2.5 times higher than UK-born risks. Estimates for the proportion of disease due to recent transmission were higher than previous estimates, at around 46%. Simulations also identified plausible assumptions for the contact rate and the infection status of migrants upon entry to the UK. Results informed a model fitted to Variable Number Tandem Repeat (VNTR) genotyping data from cases in the West Midlands from 2007 - 2011 , which was used to estimate the proportion of disease due to recent transmission in the UK and compare estimates to those based on genotyping data. Results showed that a n estimated 45 - 63% of cases in the West Midlands were due to recenttransmission i n the UK, which was underestimated by genotyping data-derived estimates of 35%. Results also identified plausible mutation rates for VNTR profiles and plausible strain type distributions for UK-born and foreign-born individuals. This work suggests there is a large proportion of cases due to recent transmission in the UK, which is underestimated by genotyping data. The study also provides current disease risk estimates and shows a need for better data on migrants to the UK. This work may help focus prevention efforts.

description: BACKGROUND: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is characterized by an alteration in pain processing by the central nervous system that may affect autonomic nervous system (ANS) balance. Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects the balance of parasympathetic and sympathetic ANS activation. In particular, respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) solely reflects parasympathetic input and is reduced in CLBP patients. Yet, it remains unknown if non-invasive brain stimulation can alter ANS balance in CLBP patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if non-invasive brain stimulation modulates the ANS, we analyzed HRV metrics collected in a previously published study of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for the modulation of CLBP through enhancing alpha oscillations. We hypothesized that tACS would increase RSA. METHODS: A randomized, crossover, double-blind, sham-controlled pilot study was conducted to investigate the effects of 10Hz-tACS on metrics of ANS balance calculated from electrocardiogram (ECG). ECG data were collected for 2 mins before and after 40 mins of 10Hz-tACS or sham stimulation. RESULTS: There were no significant changes in RSA or other frequency-domain HRV components from 10Hz-tACS. However, exploratory time-domain HRV analyses revealed a significant increase in the standard deviation of normal intervals between R-peaks (SDNN), a measure of ANS balance, for 10Hz-tACS relative to sham. CONCLUSION: Although tACS did not significantly increase RSA, we found in an exploratory analysis that tACS modulated an integrated HRV measure of both ANS branches. These findings support the further study of how the ANS and alpha oscillations interact and are modulated by tACS.

description: The current system in place to study safety of medicines after introduction on the market relies on spontaneous reporting. Adverse events occurring long after initiation or cessation of drug use are likely to be missed by this system. In this thesis we explore methods to identify signals of long-term, unexpected adverse events and methods to evaluate these signals. 
We utilised data from the UK General Practice Research Database (GPRD), a large primary care database. A systematic review investigating the validity of medical diagnoses recorded in this database illustrated that the GPRD is a powerful tool to study morbidity in primary care. However, intimate knowledge of the complexities of the database is needed to ensure the best use is made of the database. Pre-existing hypotheses of drug-induced systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were evaluated using the GPRD. Associations between risk of SLE and exposure to hydralazine, minocycline, and carbamazepine were confirmed using both a matched case-control design and the self controlled case series method. Spontaneous reports of drug-induced SLE recorded in the UK Yellow Card database indicated that symptoms of SLE often resolve after withdrawal of the 
suspected drug.
Using the Smile Plot method to generate signals of drug-induced SLE, we were not able to identify known signals of drug-induced lupus. However, we did identify factors strongly associated with treatment of early symptoms of disease. These findings indicated a high specificity of the Smile Plot method. To improve sensitivity, better hierarchical coding systems for drugs are needed to ensure appropriate grouping. 
Lastly, we utilised the GPRD to provide an example of a systematically performed drug safety study. In a small subset of data, we generated hypotheses of drug-induced Hashimoto's disease. Associations were subsequently evaluated in a larger subset of data. No drugs were clearly associated with risk of Hashimoto's disease.

title: The burden of imported malaria among Nigerians and Ghanaians living in London: understanding the influences of the social, cultural, environmental, economic and structural context
Creators: name: Neave, Pe
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2013

description: The majority of reports of imported malaria in Europe come from the UK, France, Germany and Italy. Most of those affected are of African origin visiting friends and relatives (VFRs). There is little understanding of the factors that enhance and constrain effective malaria prevention practices in this group. Two studies were undertaken to investigate this.
An epidemiological analysis of 13813 reports made in the UK between 2001 and 2008 showed that 58% lived in London, where 83% of infections were caused by Plasmodiumfalciparum. The rate per 100000 offalciparum infections in the capital in 2008 in those categorised as of "Black African" ethnicity was 131.0 (CI: 120.0-142.1), compared to 0.3 (CI: 0.2-0.5) amongst the "White British".
To investigate factors influencing the behaviours of VFRs, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with African VFRs resident in the UK visiting Nigeria and Ghana (n = 20), malaria patients (n= 6), practice nurses (n= 10), GPs (n = 10), community pharmacists (n= 7) and hospital consultants (n= 3).
Factors influencing the use of mosquito avoidance methods included knowledge about the local environment, a perceived inevitability of contracting malaria, and a desire to use methods common amongst host families. Chemoprophylaxis use was influenced by perceptions of susceptibility, by previous experiences of malaria, perceptions of the seriousness of malaria, and peer pressure. Relevant structural factors included the cost of chemoprophylaxis and difficulties in accessing health advice.
This research showed that in managing malaria, VFRs choose pragmatically between two parallel social and environmental contexts and the structural constraints associated with each. A novel conceptual framework shows the complex manner in which these interact, and may be appropriate in different countries and also in future research investigating other travel-related diseases in migrants. Practical recommendations for research priorities within the UK imported malaria context are made.

title: An economic analysis of the market for malaria treatment in Cambodia
Creators: name: Patouillard, E
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

description: In developing countries, malaria treatment is often inadequate, notably in retail shops where the majority of people seek care. Shopkeepers are the last link in a chain of wholesalers who have an influence on treatment availability, price and quality. Evidence on competition in retail and wholesale markets is scarce, partly due to the methodological challenges of studying healthcare markets in poor countries. The thesis investigates how market structure, provider conduct, customer demand and regulation affect malaria treatment outcomes in Cambodia. In addition the thesis contributes to the development of methods for studying private drug markets.
Cross-sectional surveys and semi-structured interviews of representative samples of antimalarial retailers and wholesalers were conducted to collect data on provider practices and perceptions. The contribution of different empirical methods for identifying and sampling wholesalers and measuring sales volumes was also assessed.
Private commercial providers supplied the majority of antimalarial drugs, reflecting the relative proximity, long opening hours, reliable drug stock and friendliness of private retailers. Retail and wholesale competition increased accessibility to malaria treatment but did not lead to optimal supply of affordable quality treatment. Several market failures were evident: intense product differentiation, high concentration, and imperfect consumer information on treatment quality. These provided opportunities for higher mark-ups, although not in all market segments. With high market heterogeneity, higher retail mark-ups did not necessarily translate into higher consumer prices, highlighting the influence of distribution chain structure and wholesaler's price setting decisions. Government failures were also frequent, with poor public sector treatment accessibility and ineffective regulation'.
Recommendations include widening distribution networks for artemisinin combination therapy and rapid diagnostic tests; improving product stock reliability; decreasing wholesale and retail  product prices; intensifying providers' training; diffusing information to consumers on what constitutes appropriate management of malaria fever; and strengthening regulation and the potential to extend its supportive role.

description: Background: Opioid use has disproportionally impacted pregnant people and their fetuses. Previous studies describing opioid use among pregnant people are limited by geographic location, type of medical coverage, and small sample size. We described characteristics of a large, diverse group of pregnant people who were enrolled in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program, and determined which characteristics were associated with opioid use during pregnancy. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional data obtained from 21,905 pregnancies of individuals across the United States enrolled in the ECHO between 1990 and 2021 were analyzed. Medical records, laboratory testing, and self-report were used to determine opioid-exposed pregnancies. Multiple imputation methods using fully conditional specification with a discriminant function accounted for missing characteristics data. Results: Opioid use was present in 2.8% (n=591) of pregnancies. The majority of people who used opioids in pregnancy were non-Hispanic White (67%) and had at least some college education (69%). Those who used opioids reported high rates of alcohol use (32%) and tobacco use (39%) during the pregnancy; although data were incomplete, only 5% reported heroin use and 86% of opioid use originated from a prescription. After adjustment, non-Hispanic White race, pregnancy during the years 2010-2012, higher parity, tobacco use, and use of illegal drugs during pregnancy were each significantly associated with opioid use during pregnancy. In addition, maternal depression was associated with increased odds of opioid use during pregnancy by more than two-fold (adjusted odds ratio 2.42, 95% confidence interval: 1.95-3.01). Conclusions: In this large study of pregnancies from across the United States, we found several factors that were associated with opioid use among pregnant people. Further studies examining screening for depression and polysubstance use may be useful for targeted interventions to prevent detrimental opioid use during pregnancy, while further elucidation of the reasons for use of prescription opioids during pregnancy should be further explored.

title: Dried blood spots to improve patient management in remote settings
Creators: name: Smit, Pw

description: The overall aim of the thesis was to assess the feasibility and utility of using blood collected on filter paper, dried blood spots (DBS), to improve patient management in remote settings. The use of DBS was evaluated for patient monitoring, quality assurance of point of care testing, and for surveillance to improve syndromic management.
Systematic literature reviews, laboratory studies, and implementation of DBS based diagnostics were performed to answer these objectives. DBS is a feasible alternative to plasma in monitoring viral load in HIV patients on treatment. The type of filter paper, collection, storage and processing methods are critically important to obtain valid results for monitoring HIV. A DBS protocol was evaluated for syphilis serology, giving an adjusted sensitivity and specificity of 97.7% and 99.4% compared to plasma. DBS was implemented as quality assurance for Point-of-care test (PaCT), which showed that health worker proficiency varied significantly between clinics, stressing the importance of quality assurance.
Laboratory evaluations revealed the possibility of obtaining adequate sensitivities to detect febrile illnesses; malaria, dengue, leptospira, B.bacilliformis, and chikungunya, but not for R. typhi and O.tsutsugamushi by DBS. When implemented in Peru, a local B.bacilliformis outbreak was identified which proved that DBS was more sensitive than the current surveillance method. The goal of this research was to determine whether DBS can improve patient management in remote settings. As new technologies are being developed rapidly, the use of simple and robust tools such as filter paper has continued to provide an affordable and reliable solution for clinical sample collection. While DBS is not the best sampling method, it is the simplicity and robustness that makes it useful in remote settings. This research showed that DBS can be used for monitoring HIV patient on antiretroviral therapy, the quality of syphilis diagnosis, and determining the major causes of fever in children to improve recommendations for syndromic management.

description: Amplitude modulated transcranial alternating current stimulation (AM-tACS) has been recently proposed as a possible solution to overcome the pronounced stimulation artifact encountered when recording brain activity during tACS. In theory, AM-tACS does not entail power at its modulating frequency, thus avoiding the problem of spectral overlap between brain signal of interest and stimulation artifact. However, the current study demonstrates how weak non-linear transfer characteristics inherent to stimulation and recording hardware can reintroduce spurious artifacts at the modulation frequency. The input-output transfer functions (TFs) of different stimulation setups were measured. Setups included recordings of signal-generator and stimulator outputs and M/EEG phantom measurements. 6th-degree polynomial regression models were fitted to model the input-output TFs of each setup. The resulting TF models were applied to digitally generated AM-tACS signals to predict the frequency of spurious artifacts in the spectrum. All four setups measured for the study exhibited low-frequency artifacts at the modulation frequency and its harmonics when recording AM-tACS. Fitted TF models showed non-linear contributions significantly different from zero (all p<.05) and successfully predicted the frequency of artifacts observed in AM-signal recordings. Results suggest that even weak non-linearities of stimulation and recording hardware can lead to spurious artifacts at the modulation frequency and its harmonics. These artifacts were substantially larger than alpha-oscillations of a human subject in the MEG. Findings emphasize the need for more linear stimulation devices for AM-tACS and careful analysis procedures, taking into account low-frequency artifacts to avoid confusion with effects of AM-tACS on the brain.

description: The placenta undergoes many changes throughout gestation to support the evolving needs of the foetus. There is also a growing appreciation that male and female foetuses develop differently in utero, with unique epigenetic changes in placental tissue. Here, we report meta-analysed sex-specific associations between gestational age and placental DNA methylation from four cohorts in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Programme (355 females/419 males, gestational ages 23-42 weeks). We identified 407 cytosine-guanine dinucleotides (CpGs) in females and 794 in males where placental methylation levels were associated with gestational age. After cell-type adjustment, 55 CpGs in females and 826 in males were significant. These were enriched for biological processes critical to the immune system in females and transmembrane transport in males. Our findings are distinct between the sexes: in females, associations with gestational age are largely explained by differences in placental cellular composition, whereas in males, gestational age is directly associated with numerous alterations in methylation levels.
