    • Altered Maternal Antibody Profiles in Women With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Drive Changes in Transplacental Antibody Transfer 

      Dolatshahi, Sepideh; Butler, Audrey L.; Siedner, Mark J.; Ngonzi, Joseph; Edlow, Andrea G.; Adong, Julian; Jennewein, Madeleine F.; Atyeo, Caroline; Bassett, Ingrid V.; Roberts, Drucilla J.; Lauffenburger, Douglas A.; Alter, Galit; Bebell, Lisa M. (Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2022)
      Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–exposed, uninfected (HEU) children have a higher risk of severe infection, but the causes are poorly understood. Emerging data point to altered antibody transfer in women with ...

    • Distinct cytokine profiles in late pregnancy in Ugandan people with HIV 

      Bebell, Lisa M.; Ngonzi, Joseph; Butler, Audrey; Kumbakumba, Elias; Adong, Julian; Loos, Carolin; Boatin, Adeline A.; Bassett, Ingrid V.; Siedner, Mark J.; Williams, Paige L.; Mattie, Heather; Hedt‑Gauthier, Bethany; Correia, Katharine F. B.; Lake, Erin; Alter, Galit (Scientific Reports, 2024)
      During pregnancy, multiple immune regulatory mechanisms establish an immune‑tolerant environment for the allogeneic fetus, including cellular signals called cytokines that modify immune responses. However, the impact of ...

    • Effects of Maternal HIV Infection and Alcohol Use in Pregnancy on Birth Outcomes in Uganda 

      Adong, Julian; Musinguzi, Nicholas; Ngonzi, Joseph; Haberer, Jessica E.; Bassett, Ingrid V.; Siedner, Mark J.; Roberts, Drucilla J.; Hahn, Judith A.; Bebell, Lisa M. (AIDS and Behavior, 2023)
      Alcohol use and HIV infection are prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA), and both are associated with low birth weight. Yet, few studies have evaluated the combined effects of maternal HIV infection and alcohol use on birth ...

    • Placental decidual arteriopathy and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) expression among women with and without HIV 

      Bebell, Lisa M.; Parks, Kalynn; Le, Mylinh H.; Ngonzi, Joseph; Adong, Julian; Boatin, Adeline A.; Bassett, Ingrid V.; Siedner, Mark J.; Gernand, Alison D.; Roberts, Drucilla J. (The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021)
      Background: Women with HIV (WHIV) are at higher risk of adverse birth outcomes. Proposed mechanisms for the increased risk include placental arteriopathy (vasculopathy) and maternal vascular malperfusion (MVM) due to ...

      Bebell, Lisa M.; Parks, Kalynn; Mylinh, H. Le; Ngonzi, Joseph; Adong, Julian; Boatin, Adeline A.; Bassett, Ingrid V.; Siedner, Mark J.; Gernand, Alison D.; Roberts, Drucilla J. (The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2021)
      Background. Women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (WHIV) are at higher risk of adverse birth outcomes. Proposed mechanisms for the increased risk include placental arteriopathy (vasculopathy) and maternal vascular ...

    • Prevalence and Risk Factors for Newborn Anemia in Southwestern Uganda: A Cross-Sectional Study 

      Ngonzi, Joseph; Tibaijuka, Leevan; Kintu, Timothy Mwanje; Kihumuro, Raymond Bernard; Ahabwe, Onesmus; Byamukama, Onesmus; Salongo, Wasswa; Adong, Julian; Boatin, Adeline A.; Bebell, Lisa M. (Anemia, 2024)
      Introduction: The global prevalence of maternal anemia is about 42%, and in sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of newborn anemia ranges from 25% to 30%. Anemia in newborn babies may cause complications such as delayed brain ...

      Ngonzi, Joseph; Tibaijuka, Leevan; Kintu, Timothy Mwanje; Kihumuro, Raymond Bernard; Onesmus, Ahabwe; Onesmus, Byamukama; Adong, Julian; Salongo, Wasswa; Boatin, Adeline A.; Bebell, Lisa M. (Research square, 2023)
      Introduction: The global prevalence of anemia in pregnancy is about 42%, and in sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of newborn anemia ranges from 25–30%. Anemia in newborn babies may cause complications such as delayed brain ...
