Over one million infants are born to HIV-1-infected women every year in Sub Saharan Africa. In Zimbabwe, annual births stand at 379,000 with approximately 48,000 infants being born every year to HIV-1-infected women on lifelong highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Concerns have been
OBJECTIVE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a public health problem in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The presence of type 2 diabetes in patients with NAFLD is a risk factor for its progression to a more severe liver disease known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
The investigators will draw blood samples of 100 patients at the time of diagnosis (each 50 with suspected or diagnosed HLH/sepsis) to determine a cytokine panel (c reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-18, IL-33, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α,
This is a crossover interventional study of 26 HIV-infected patients on stable ART with low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) >100 mg/dL, not receiving any lipid-lowering treatment. After a 3-week lipid stabilization period with a standardized diet regimen, the effect of a 3-month oral NC
STUDY DESIGN Multicentre, randomized, open-label, pilot study enrolling HIV-infected subjects, of age ≥18 years, with or without cART, either sedentary or already practicing mild/moderate physical activity.+
Subjects satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to one of
This study will significantly advance our knowledge of how dietary soy impacts lipid levels and composition, metabolic parameters and inflammation in HIV+ patients treated with anti-retroviral therapy (ART). HIV+ persons are at increased risk for CVD, and both HIV and ART are associated with
METHODOLOGY Type of Study It is a study of the experimental type with equivalent control groups.
Sample A convenience sample will consist of approximately 60 patients seropositive for HIV / AIDS, in use of ART. Patients will be invited between routine visits in the clinic at the Special Unit for
Study Design and Population
In this study, patients who underwent stable hemodialysis at least 3 months at Tung Taichung Metroharbor Hospital will be enrolled. Baseline clinical data such as age, sex, height, bodyweight , clinical etiology of Chronic kidney disease(CKD) if possible, comorbidities,
HIV-infected individuals are at higher risk than uninfected people for developing cardiovascular disease. Visceral adipose tissue is also increased in HIV-infected people compared to uninfected individuals. Animal studies suggest that blockade of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) may have
A large broad of evidence has shown that traditional perioperative care have a weak scientific basis and needs to be changed. Multimodal or fast-track protocols of perioperative care for abdominal surgery have been associated with lower morbidity, lower costs and faster postoperative recovery when
The infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), is a chronic condition transmissible and progressive type of viral cause, in which a link is very different between host and virus, which ultimately influences the appearance of opportunistic morbid
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary hypertension is a severe disorder defined by an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) as >25 mmHg at rest. A classification of the different types of pulmonary hypertension has been established according to shared pathologic and clinical features as well as similar
The main aim of this study is to investigate the benefits of switching from Efavirenz (taken in combination with Kivexa®or as part of the combination pill, Atripla®) in patients with Central Nervous System (CNS) side effects (such as difficulty with sleeping, bad dreams etc). The study aims to
Determination of cardiovascular risk
If the assessment of cardiovascular risk remains incomplete, can identify indicators that measure risk:
1. Framingham Risk Score: Includes age, sex, total and HDL-CHOL, and levels of blood pressure (can underestimate the risk in some patients).
2. PROCAM Risk
