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 · 6,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of New Cases of HIV/AIDS Identified between 2011-2016 at a Tertiary Hospital, in Mexico CityEnrique Alcalá Martínez, Verónica Alejandra Gaona Flores, Paz Ayar Nibardo, Guevara Iturriaga SamantaNowadays, HIV infections and AIDS cases are on the increase in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The associated risk factors for developing AIDS have been: Alcoholism, drug use, malnutrition, comorbidities and semi-illiteracy. The objective of the study was to describe the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of new cases of HIV/AIDS and to look for the possible factors associated … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 5 Sep 2018 · 7,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpline Estimator for Bi-Responses and Multi-Predictors Nonparametric Regression Model in Case of Longitudinal DataAdji Achmad Rinaldo Fernandes, I Nyoman Budiantara, Bambang Widjanarko Otok, SuhartonoNonparametric regression approach is used when the shape of the curve regression is unknown. The spline estimator approach for longitudinal data can accommodate the correlation between observations within the same subject, which is not found in the cross-section data, so that the autocorrelation assumption problem can be resolved. On the other hand, with bi-responses approach, it will accommodate any correlation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 8 Oct 2015 · 7,341 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenomic Signature of Respiratory Microbes on Human Scalp EpitheliaBhola Nath Paul, Vani Mishra, Jasmeet Kaur Chhabra, Divyani PaulDespite overlap between habitats occupied by diverse Airborne Respiratory Microbes (ARM), the airway epithelium is known for respiratory microbe infections, human scalp epithelium is undocumented. Analogous to airways epithelium, the scalp epithelium is vulnerable to infection by dormant variants of sensitive microbes that underlie many chronic and relapsing diseases, difficult to eradicate by conventional antibiotics and challenged our ability to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,079 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVitamin D: The Immunologic Role and its Effect on Human PathophysiologyWilliam Whalen, Edward Werner Cook, Nitya G. ChakrabortyThere are several reasons why understanding the role of vitamin D in the immune system is worthy of widespread attention. Our knowledge of the immune system is crucial for understanding human health and disease. New ideas for vitamin D and life style in the twenty-first century build directly on our understanding of immunology-from the development of new immune-based cancer drugs … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 May 2015 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA SHORT INTERFERING RNA MOLECULAR BEACON FOR THE ATTENUATION OF MYCOBACTERIAL INFECTIONRemo George, Kathy Nugent, Norman Bolus et al.The ability of the pathogen Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) to invade and survive within macrophages of granulomas is attributed to the product of the Mammalian Cell Entry (MCE) operon whose gene, mce4A, encodes a cholesterol transporter that transports host lipids into the bacterium that allows the bacterium to survive during chronic infection. Here, we proposed and tested the hypothesis that a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2014 · 7,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Cytometry Baseline on Peripheral Leukocyte Cell Profiles for Dairy Goat KidsDarcy M. Fletcher, Megan B. Vogt, Hannah E. Pirner et al.Small ruminants, like goats, would make excellent animal models for not only infectious diseases in large ruminants but also analogous diseases in humans, such as human tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, melioidosis and brucellosis. The main disadvantage for the small ruminant model is the lack of sufficient baseline data on normal, healthy goat kids. Furthermore, most reagents (antibodies and the like) were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2013 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
