The role of prolonged exposure to parasitemia in the high morbidity in children with Sickle cell anaemia in Uganda
REFNo: HS1496ES
Primary Aims
1. To determine the rate of parasite clearance during artesunate therapy in children with sickle cell anaemia compared to children without SCA.
We hypothesize that children with SCA will experience parasite clearance half-life times exceeding the WHO-defined standard of 5 hours when treated with artemisinins for P. falciparum malaria, whereas children without SCA will not experience this delayed parasite clearance.
2. To determine the association between parasite clearance rate and risk of vaso-occlusive crisis, severe anaemia, and any hospitalisation in children with SCA.
We hypothesize that prolonged parasite clearance will correlate with increased risk of SCA-related sequelae.
3. To determine the association between kidney and splenic function and parasite clearance half-life during artesunate treatment for malaria.
We hypothesize that impaired renal function (estimated creatinine clearance) and splenic function (presence of Howell-Jolly bodies) will correlate with increased parasite clearance half-life.
Secondary Aims
1. To determine the incidence of treatment failure (new clinical malaria within a 28-day follow-up period after microscopy-confirmed parasite clearance) after artemisinin combination therapy for malaria
2. To detect and measure the prevalence of parasite genetic markers of artemisinin resistance in Jinja

AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY TO ASSESS THE UTILITY OF BEDSIDE ULTRASOUND SCAN IN SEPSIS TREATMENT AMONG HOSPITALIZED ADULTS IN UGANDA
REFNo: HS1499ES
General objective: To describe the potential utility of bedside ultrasound scanning in evaluating adult patients with suspected sepsis admitted to hospitals in Uganda
Specific objectives:
1. Estimate the proportion of patients admitted to the medical emergency unit with suspected sepsis who have ultrasound findings consistent with intravascular fluid depletion.
2. Estimate the proportion of patients admitted to the medical emergency unit with suspected sepsis who have ultrasound findings suggestive of intolerance to high volume intravenous fluid.
3. Estimate the proportion of patients admitted to the medical emergency unit with suspected sepsis who have ultrasound findings that identify a potential source of infection.
4. Determine the feasibility of delivering POCUS to evaluate non-pregnant adult patients with sepsis by clinicians who are not specialized in radiology.

Determination of Adequate TUberculosis Regimen in Adults and adolescents hospitalised with HIV-associated severe immune suppression (Acronym: DATURA).
REFNo: HS1487ES
Primary objective: To estimate the impact of an intensified initial phase of tuberculosis (TB) treatment on mortality at 48 weeks among HIV-infected adults and adolescents hospitalised for TB with CD4 ≤ 100 cells/μL in comparison with the standard TB regimen.
Secondary objectives: To estimate the impact of an intensified initial phase of TB treatment, in comparison with the standard TB regimen, on:
¥ Mortality at weeks 8 and 24
¥ Adverse events, including:
- All grade 3-4 events
- Selected grade 2 events of interest
- Drug-related adverse events
- AIDS defining illnesses
- Paradoxical TB-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)
¥ TB treatment success
¥ TB recurrence
¥ Antiretroviral treatment (ART) response in terms of virological success and immunological response
¥ Adherence to TB treatment and ART

A Cross Sectional Study on Exploring the Lifestyle of Makerere University Staff With an Aim of developing a Bespoke Healthy Living Program for people in Academia
REFNo: HS1500ES
Our main goal is to identify and understand the key factors that attribute a typical working day of Makerere University and inhibitors of following a heathy living programme and use this feedback
10
to design a contextually appropriate and bespoke programme for adoption in the field of academia and other sectors at large. This will be achieved in the following sub aims:
1. To establish the dietary and physical activity patterns of overweight and obese staff at Makerere University College of Health Sciences staff.
2. To support overweight and obese individuals to adopt an energy restricted diet and weekly physical exercise while establishing the behavioural and social determinants of compliance to the programme.
3. To establish the effect of change on food and activity body weight and health status and recommend a bespoke healthy living programme that puts into consideration the routine, perceptions and inhibitors to living a healthy lifestyle that works for Academic staff nationwide.
