Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn HIV/AIDS Model with Variable Force of Infection and its Application to the Epidemic in UgandaFlugentius Baryarama, Joseph Y.T. Mugisha, Livingstone S. LuboobiAn HIV/AIDS model is formulated with variable force of infection for the adult population. Its actions are reduced to a prevalence equation that is a non-logistic equation whose explicit solution is derived. The implications of applying the solution to the evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are discussed with respect to the positive boundedness of the coefficients. Prevalence projections are presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,964 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Associated with Syringe Sharing Among Users of a Medically Supervised Safer Injecting FacilityEvan Wood, Mark W. Tyndall, Jo-Anne Stoltz et al.Vancouver, Canada recently opened a medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF) in an effort to reduce HIV and overdose risk and public injection drug use. We sought to examine factors associated with syringe sharing among SIF users. SIF users were randomly recruited into a prospective cohort of SIF users known as the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) cohort.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDietary supplementation with Cyperus esculentus L (tiger nut) tubers attenuated atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E knockout mouse associated with inhibition of inflammatory cell responsesMohamed L. Salem, Mohsen Zommara, K. ImaizumiAtherosclerosis is a pathological process, where recruitment of mononuclear cells results in the growth of fibro-fatty plaques. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a legend for the uptake of lipoproteins, and deficiency of ApoE leads to the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein. Utilizing ApoE-/- mouse, which spontaneously develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets, the present study showed that feeding these mice on a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,471 accessesView PDF Cite
