Item Adherence to antiretroviral therapy and the associated factors among people living with HIV/AIDS in Northern Peru: A cross-sectional study(BMC, 2019-08-28) Leyva-Moral, Juan M.; Loayza-Enriquez, Blanca K.; Palmieri, Patrick A.; Guevara-Vasquez, Genesis M.; Elias-Bravo, Ursula E.; Edwards, Joan; Feijoo-Cid, María; Davila-Olano, Lucy Y.; Rodriguez-Llanos, Juan R.; Leon-Jimenez, Franco E.Background There are approximately 72,000 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) in Peru. Non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the most important factor for therapeutic failure and the development of resistance. Peru has achieved moderate progress in meeting the 90-90-90 targets, but only 60% of PLHIV receiving ART are virally suppressed. The purpose of this study was to understand ART adherence in the Peruvian context, including developing sociodemographic and clinical profiles, evaluating the clinical management strategies, and analyzing the relationships between the variables and adherence of PLHIV managed at a regional HIV clinic in Lambayeque Province (Northern Peru).Item Benefits of insoles with real-time alert and foot self-care education in improving offloading and adherence to prescribed footwear in patients with diabetes mellitus: Study protocol for a single-blinded randomized clinical trial PREPRINT (Version 1)(Research Square, 2022) Mbue, Ngozi D.; Wang, Wanyi; Najafi, BijanUnprotected plantar pressure contributes to the development of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) in people with diabetes and loss of plantar sensation. Recently, smart footwear device is proposed to empower patients at risk in avoiding harmful weight-bearing physical activities such as prolonged standing which may lead to local plantar ischemia and ultimately a DFU. However, there is little progress in the education of at-risk to be engaged in daily using of these smart footwear devices as well as adherence to diabetic footwear. The aim of this study is to examine whether an integration of smart insoles with an alert (smart watch) and foot self-care education may sustain adherence to prescribed footwear and change patients’ behavior to avoid harmful physical activities such as prolonged standing posture.
