Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConsequence on Treatment of TB Patients Affected by HIV/AIDS A Conceptual ResearchSarder N. Uddin, S. J. Hossain, Md. N. Huda et al.Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an ancient malady, which is one of the world’s most wide spread infectious bacterial agents. Fully one-third of the world’s population is already infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with the greatest burden of disease and infection borne by people in developing countries. Tuberculosis disease is still out of control. Alarming spread of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and emergence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,017 accessesView PDFCite
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 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 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeroin-Induces Differential Protein Expression by Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA)Jessica L. Reynolds, Supriya D. Mahajan, Donald Sykes, Madhavan P.N. NairHeroin use is postulated to act as a cofactor in the neuropathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection. Astrocytes, integral components of the CNS, are reported to be susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Upon activation, astrocytes release a number of immunoregulatory products or modulate the expression of a number of proteins that foster the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection. However, the role … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLarge Scale Production and Characterization of Anti-Human IgG Monoclonal Antibody in Peritoneum of Balb/c MICEB. Baradaran, J. Majidi, Z. M. Hassan, J. AbdolalizadehMonoclonal antibodies are key reagents that are used in biomedical researches, diagnosis of immunodeficiency diseases such as IgG subclasses deficiency and treatment of diseases like infections and cancers. For large scale production of monoclonal antibody, hybridoma cells that produce monoclonal antibody against human IgG were injected into the peritoneum of the Balb/c mice which have previously been primed with 0.5 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,089 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for the CD4 Cell Counts in an HIV/AIDS Patient and its Application in Treatment InterventionsRichard O. Simwa, Joseph Y.T. MugishaThe number of CD4 white blood cells has been established as an important clinical marker of disease progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) for persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The number of CD4 cells per unit volume is expected to decrease with time since infection by the virus. However on introduction of treatment interventions, the process is expected … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,842 accessesView PDFCite
