Evaluating Ventricle Size and Shunt Failure Rates in Ugandan Children Shunted Early in Life
REFNo: HS5382ES

General objective
To study proximal shunt obstruction and its predictors among patients with hydrocephalus secondary to myelomeningocele or encephalocele at CCHU from 2010 to 2023.

Specific Objectives.

1.To determine the rate of proximal obstruction among shunted patients with hydrocephalus secondary to myelomeningocele or encephalocele.
2.To determine the incidence of small ventricles among shunted patients with hydrocephalus following myelomeningocele or encephalocele closure.
3.To assess if ventricle size and catheter environment can predict proximal shunt failure in shunted patients with hydrocephalus secondary to myelomeningocele or encephalocele.

Pericoronary Adipose Tissue, Inflammation, and Subclinical Coronary Artery Disease in People with HIV in Uganda
REFNo: HS5418ES

Aim 1: Perform CCTA -based segmentation of PCAT (1a) and compare the density between PWH and PWOH (1b) in Uganda.
Aim 2: Extract PCAT radiomics features (2a) and compare differences in PCAT radiomics signatures between PWH and PWOH (2b) in Uganda.
