Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Dysfunction among HIV Infected Drug AbusersRamani S. Durvasula, Charles H. HinkinHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been documented to cause direct and indirect central nervous system dysfunction that can be observed as a progressive decline in neuropsychological functioning in a large proportion of persons with HIV and AIDS. Neuropsychological decline in individuals with HIV is characterized by cognitive and motor slowing, attentional deficits, executive dysfunction and memory impairment (characterized by intact … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Changing Pathology of NeuroAIDS Associated with Drug Abuse in the Era of HAARTE Bell Jeanne, C. Anthony Iain, Simmonds PeterCompliance with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) arrests HIV induced immune collapse and reduces the prevalence of severe central nervous system (CNS) complications, including HIV associated dementia and encephalitis. However minor cognitive disorders remain common and recent autopsy studies have demonstrated the presence of subtle neuropathological abnormalities in HAART treated individuals, including persistent neuroinflammation and enhanced deposition in the brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForensic Considerations of HIV Infected and Those at RiskB. R. Sharma, Sumedha BangarWhile HIV infection is considered protected information in most parts of the world, it is clear that if a health care provider knows, that the patient is infected or is likely to be infected, then either the patient or those responsible for making their medical decisions must be informed of the infection or likelihood of infection. If not, the liability … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,452 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpidemiological Models Applied to Viruses in Computer NetworksJos R.S. Piqueira, Betyna F. Navarro, Luiz H.A. MonteiroTo investigate the use of classical epidemiological models for studying computer virus propagation we described analogies between computer and population disease propagation using SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Removed) epidemiological models. By modifying these models with the introduction of anti-viral individuals we analyzed the stability of the disease free equilibrium points. Consequently, the basal virus reproduction rate gives some theoretical hints about how to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibody Responses to HIV-1 gp120 Hypervariable Regions in Six Long-Term Non-ProgressorsRebecca Rivera, Kyung Hee Kang, Murray B. Gardner et al.Our long-term goal is to discover the combination of host parameters that help some HIV-infected individuals to resist progression to AIDS. In this study, we examined antibody responses using multiple samples obtained from a cohort of Long-Term Non-Progressors (LTNPs). Our hypothesis is that antibody responses to variable regions of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein are involved in reducing the viral load … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2016 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAPPROXIMATION OF ESTIMATES IN THE SUSCEPTIBLE-INFECTIOUS-REMOVED EPIDEMIC MODELChanghyuck OhIn this note, a simple approximation for the maximum likelihood estimates of infection and removal parameters used in the Susceptible-Infectious-Removed (SIR) epidemic model is presented. This approximation can be applied when the numbers of susceptible and infected individuals are observable only at discrete points in time. Since, in such cases, a closed form of the likelihood function is generally too … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2013 · 6,763 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatitis B Virus DNA Can be Amplified Directly From Dried Blood Spot on Filter PaperNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Mamdouh Z. Abadeer, Sheref M. El-TaherHepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections represent a major public health problem because of the ability of HBV to cause a chronic carrier state. Even though chronic carriers remain largely asymptomatic, a large number of these individuals subsequently develop cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Dried Blood Spot (DBS) samples are a simple and inexpensive sampling method, especially useful for blood collection … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive-Behavioral Stress Management Interventions for Ethnic-Minority HIV-Positive Alcohol/Drug Abusers in Resource Limited and Culturally Diverse CommunitiesRobert M. Malow, Rhonda Rosenberg, Jessy G. DévieuxThe article reports our intervention work with Alcohol and Other Drug Abusing (AOD) People Living With HIV (PLWH). Present research has involved adapting Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) and other strategies to improve quality of life and health outcomes for PLWH. Historically, CBSM has used relaxation and coping skills training to reduce negative mood and improve coping behaviors. The efficacy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,759 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEstimating HIV-1 Incidence Using the Serologic Testing Algorithm for Recent HIV Seroconversion at HIV Counseling and Testing Centers in the City of São Paulo, BrazilKatia Cristina Bassichetto, Denise Pimentel Bergamaschi, Maria Amelia Veras et al.The network of HIV counseling and testing centers in São Paulo, Brazil is a major source of data used to build epidemiological profiles of the client population. In this study, HIV-1 incidence from November of 2000 to April of 2001 was estimated, comparing recently infected individuals to those with long-standing infection in terms of epidemiological and socio-behavioral aspects. To identify … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExogenous Re-infection by Multiple Exposures to Mycobacterium tuberculosis Contributes to Subsequent Development of Active TuberculosisDiane J. Ordway, Miguel Viveiros, Fernando A. Ventura et al.The majority of tuberculosis (TB) exists in the world’s poorest countries, where costly biosafety level three facilities for containment of infectious TB patients and diagnostic facilities are not affordable. Health care workers (HCWs), in countries with high burdens of tuberculosis (TB) are at risk of nosocomially acquired TB, as there are increased numbers of cases of TB on open hospital … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,971 accessesView PDFCite
