Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMolecular Mechanisms for Altered Glucose Homeostasis in HIV InfectionPaula W. HruzA complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms leading to HIV-associated insulin resistance remains elusive. Complex interrelationships between genetic predisposition, disease-related body changes and multidrug therapy all contribute to alterations in glucose homeostasis. These abnormalities can be differentiated between acute and reversible changes directly induced by HAART medications and more chronic and less reversible changes due to the development of lipodystrophy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,877 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titlePREVALENCE OF AUTOANTIBODIES REVEALS A PREDOMINANT SMA AND ANCA-PR3/MPO PATTERN IN HIV INFECTION AND SMA IN HAV-INFECTED CHILDRENLuz M. Navarta, Carlos A. Espul, Nelson Acosta-RiveroHepatitis A Virus (HAV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) have been associated with development of autoantibodies and autoimmune manifestations in children. Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is particularly aggressive in children/adolescents with a more severe outcome. Thus, studying the mechanisms of virus-related autoimmune disorders in children is a relevant topic of research. We aimed to study the prevalence of autoantibodies in plasma … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2014 · 7,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeroprevalence and Co-Infection of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Genotypes Among HIV PositivesOkoro Nworie, Euslar Onu, Ogbonnaya Ogbu et al.Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is now considered a sexually transmitted disease with particular types being highly oncogenic in nature. High-risk HPV virus infection is a cause of nearly all cases of cervical cancer amongst women. This study determined the seroprevalence of HPV type-16 and type-18 among HIV positive. Blood samples were processed using ELISA test kit and PCR technique. ELISA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHealthcare Associated Infections in Intensive Care Units HIV Positive PatientsLisandra Serra Damasceno, Evelyne Santana Girao, Rafael Fonseca de Queiroz et al.Problem statement: Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) are frequent and important complications, most commonly affecting hospitalized patients in intensive care units. Hospital average length of stay is usually 5-10 days higher in these patients. In HIV positive/Aids patients HAI vary from 8,7 and 15% in prevalence. The aims of this study was to compare HAI data from HIV positive (HIV+) and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 4 Oct 2011 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetection of Extended-Spectrum β Lactamases and AmpC β-Lactamase Production in Escherichia coli Causing Urinary Tract Infection among HIV and Non-HIV PatientsPadmavathy Kesavaram, Padma Krishnan, Rajasekaran SikhamaniProblem statement: Opportunistic infections have been documented as a leading cause of morbidity among HIV patients. Gram negative pathogens that elaborate beta-lactamases have been reported to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality, especially amongst immunocompromised patients on intensive care and high-dependency units. The most common mechanism of β-lactam drug resistance in Escherichia coli include ESBL, AmpC production. Approach: In … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 18 Aug 2011 · 7,834 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudies on Emergence of Drug Resistance in HIV Associated Bacterial Urinary Tract InfectionsS. D. Deokar, M. G. BodhankarProblem statement: This study was designed to document the prevalence of HIV associated urinary tract infections in Barshi Tahsil. Such studies had not been researched out before in this region. Approach: The study included samples from 123 HIV reactive and 40 HIV non-reactive patients. In both, mid stream samples were collected and processed to examine for bacterial opportunistic pathogens. The … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Flavonoid, Quercetin, Inhibits HIV-1 Infection in Normal Peripheral Blood Mononuclear CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Zainulabedin M. Saiyed, Nimisha H. Gandhi, C. N. RamchandProblem statement: Flavonoids and related polyphenols, have been known to possess cardioprotective, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-viral activities. Previous studies have shown that flavonoid, quercetin significantly downregulates expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in cultured cells via modulation of NFκB and p38MAPK signaling pathways. In the current study, we hypothesize that quercetin exerts anti-HIV activity by differential modulation of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 12,184 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHIV-1 Infection and Drug-Abuse in India-An Emerging ChallengeMahendra Kumar, Adarsh M. Kumar, Raymond Ownby et al.India has a population of over 1 billion and the first cases of HIV-1 infection were reported from there in 1987. Since then HIV-infection has spread there very aggressively and at present it is reported that there may be 5.7 millions individuals infected with HIV. Unlike the western countries where the infected HIV-1 virus belongs to clade B, in India … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,395 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHIV-1 Infection and Central Monoamine NeurotransmittersAdarsh M. Kumar, J. B. Fernandez, Irina Borodowsky et al.Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters the central nervous system (CNS) shortly after infection and gets localized in different brain regions, leading to various types of neuropathological problems. It has been hypothesized that HIV-1 infection mediated neuropathogenesis may also adversely affect the activity of the central monoamine neurotransmitters systems, such as dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), resulting in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,491 accessesView PDFCite
