Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Consequences of HIV and Drug AuseArun Venkatesan, Ola Selnes, Valerie Wojna et al.Accurate assessment of the functional consequences of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and drugs of abuse are critical as large populations are afflicted with both. Both are interdependent epidemics with important socioeconomic consequences. Experimental studies in animal models and in vitro clearly indicate that HIV and drugs of abuse cause increased neurodegeneration, glial cell activation and enhanced HIV replication. Nevertheless, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Analysis of the Non Linear Epidemic ModelLaid Chahrazed-Rahmani Fouad LazharClassical epidemic models assume that the size of the total population is constant. More recent models consider a population size variable to take into account a longer period with death and disease causing reduced reproductive. The model contains a disease-free equilibrium and one or multiple equilibria are endemic. The stability of a disease-free status equilibrium and the existence of other … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2012 · 7,170 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
