Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMortality among HIV-Infected Patients in Resource Limited Settings: A Case Controlled Analysis of Inpatients at a Community Care CenterNirmala Rajagopalan, Joyce B. Suchitra, Anita Shet et al.Problem statement: Despite massive national efforts to scale up Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) access in India since 2004, the AIDS death rate was 17.2 per 100,000 persons during 2003-2005. In the era of HAART in resource poor settings, it is imperative to understand and address the causes of AIDS related mortality. This collaborative study aimed at defining the predictors of mortality … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProgressive Resistance Training on Elderly HIV+ Patients: Does it Work?Paula Maria Loiola De Souza, Wilson Jacob Filho, José Maria Santarém et al.Elderly people present significant alterations on body composition and physical fitness, compromising their quality of life. Chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS, worsen this situation by increasing aging effects on body composition and muscle strength. Resistance exercises are prescribed by major health organizations for improving fitness and promoting a shift towards a healthier and more independent aging. In addition, recovering strength and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Lipid-Lowering Efficacy of Switching Within Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in HIV-Infected PatientsA.M. Bain, K.D. Payne, A.P. Rahman et al.The objective of present research is to evaluate the lipid lowering efficacy and safety of switching within non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI) in HIV-infected patients. This is a multicenter, retrospective study utilizing a comprehensive electronic patient registry to identify all adult HIV-infected patients seen from October 1, 1998 through October 1, 2006, who substituted efavirenz for nevirapine (EFV→NVP) or vice-versa … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,743 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEfficacy of Pravastatin in Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI) and Protease Inhibitor (PI)-based HAART in HIV-Infected PatientsSusan A. Eaton, Anita P. Rahman, Sean T. Nguyen et al.Pravastatin has generally been considered a safe and effective option for HIV-infected patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). However, pravastatin concentrations are known to significantly decrease with concomitant efavirenz (EFV) use. Currently there are no studies determining if these reductions in pravastatin possibly translate into an attenuation of its lipid lowering efficacy when used in HIV-infected patients on non-nucleoside … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHepatitis B and C Positivity in Various Categories of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Seropositive Individuals in a Regional STD Centre-an Eight-Year Evaluation of Trends and Risk FactorsSumathi Muralidhar, Manju Bala, Rakesh Kumar Jain et al.Problem statement: Among the various infections whose incidence has increased since the advent of HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and C stand out clearly. This is so because the routes of transmission of these infections are essentially the same as those of HIV/AIDS, making co-infections a common occurrence. The risk of infection for Hepatitis B and C is several times more than … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,925 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJoint Modelling of Longitudinal-Time-To-Event with Categorical Variable Indicators of Latent Classes: Application to Tuberculosis DataAdeboye Azeez, Mutambayi Ruffin, Ndege James, Qin YongsongIn many clinical and reliability research reports, the outcomes of basic interest is the time to a particular event happens in order to indicate the person’s “true” state of health or survival status. Different models have been used to analyze such data separately, but may be unsuitable if the longitudinal and health status measures are correlated. In this study, mixed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Jun 2020 · 6,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival Analysis of Data of HIV Infected Persons Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy Using a Model-Based Binary Tree ApproachSimon Tiendrébéogo, Blaise Somé, Séni Kouanda, Simplice Dossou-GbétéDiscrete-time approach is used in survival data analysis when only the time interval in which the event of interest has occurred is known or when this event occurs in a discrete - time scale. The work presented in this paper is motivated by the analysis of HIV/AIDS follow-up data collected in Burkina Faso during the 5-YEAR Global Fund program implemented … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 24 Dec 2019 · 6,495 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractFree-Living Amoebae and Central Nervous System Infection: Report of Seven CasesAlcalá Martínez Enrique, Gaona Flores Verónica A., Paz Ayar Nibardo, González Guerra EduardoThe Free-Living Amoeba (FLA) is an opportunistic protozoan with a cosmopolitan distribution that can cause Central Nervous System (CNS) infection. It develops in relatively stagnant waters such as swimming pools, lagoons and ponds but only species belonging to the genera Hartmannella, Naegleria, Acanthamoeba and Balamuthia have been found in humans. The resulting pathology is highly lethal due to the lack … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2019 · 7,058 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractEditorial Commentary: Challenge of Non–AIDS-Defining Cancers (NADCs), Focusing on Trans Activation Response Element (TAR) RNA Embedding ExosomesLechuang Chen, Ge JinGlobally, 37.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2018 (Organization, 2018). Cancer is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in AIDS patients and chronically HIV-infected people. With the aid of combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), people living with HIV (PLWH) have a longer life span. However, because the virus is not completely eradicated, PLWH under antiretroviral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Nov 2019 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
