Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cell cycle regulators in preinvasive lesions and invasive carcinomas of the anus by De Jager, Louis Johann

“…The majority of these carcinomas are squamous cell carcinomas and are associated with high risk-HPV infection. HIV infection appears to interact synergistically with high risk-HPV in the development of squamous cell carcinoma at this site. …”

Leveraging the microbiome in host genome wide association studies by Awany, Denis

“…Philosophically, the non-parametric specification amounts to the addition of an infinite amount of prior information about all fine details of the parameters being modelled; thus represents an attractive strategy. The utility of the method is demonstrated through simulation experiments and application to real microbiome datasets for schizophrenia, HIV/AIDS, and atherosclerosis diseases, where it is shown that the method is not only robust but also has high statistical power for association inference, resulting in a framework that can contribute to our understanding of the link between the microbiome and human diseases. …”

Epidemiology and genetic risk factors of suicidal behaviour in South Africa by Kootbodien, Tahira

“…. • To describe healthcare utilisation 12 months before suicidal behaviour among individuals who attempted suicide and who died by suicide, to identify opportunities for prevention in Cape Town, South Africa (Study 4). Methods: This thesis included an ecological time-series study of national suicide mortality data from Statistics South Africa using joinpoint regression analysis (Study 1, N=10.3 million recorded deaths from 1997 to 2016; 8,573 deaths from suicide); a conditional logistic regression analysis of an attempted suicide hospital-based case-control study (Study 2, N=400; 200 cases and controls); a genome-wide genetic correlation study of suicidal ideation, self-harm, attempted and fatal suicide (samples [n] ranged from 62,648 to 125,844), and selected psychiatric disorders (n ranged from 9,954 to 386,533) using a genomic structural equation modelling approach (Study 3); and a retrospective cohort of linked electronic health records of individuals who attempted suicide and were admitted to hospital and a case series of fatal suicides on whom forensic autopsies were performed at a mortuary in Cape Town (Study 4, N=484). …”
