Male sex and obesity are associated with residual plasma HIV-1 viremia in persons on long-term antiretroviral therapy

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Although adipose tissue has been proposed to harbor part of the HIV-1 reservoir, the influence of host characteristics, including sex and body-mass index (BMI), on measures of HIV-1 persistence during ART are incompletely

Prevalence and predictors of obesity among individuals with positive hepatitis C antibody in a tertiary referral clinic.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of obesity and investigate factors associated with obesity in a hepatitis C antibody positive clinic population. METHODS We reviewed 3505 patient records (1990-2006) from a liver clinic in Toronto. We used regression analysis to explore factors associated with

Association of adenovirus infection with human obesity.

We previously reported that chickens infected with the avian adenovirus SMAM-1 developed a unique syndrome characterized by excessive intra-abdominal fat deposition accompanied by paradoxically low serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. There have been no previous reports of avian adenoviruses

Neuraxial labor analgesia in an obese parturient with influenza A H1N1.

Only registered users can translate articles

We describe the use of epidural analgesia in a 39-year-old G2P1 parturient presenting at 38(+6) weeks estimated gestation with confirmed influenza A H1N1 and superimposed bilateral pneumonia. Although the patient had an uncomplicated intra- and post-partum course, little is known about the safety of

Epstein-Barr Virus and Human Adenovirus Viremia in Renal Tumors Is Associated with Histological Features of Malignancy

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: There is growing evidence that viral infections may impact the risk and clinical course of malignancies, including solid tumors. The aim of this study was to assess the possible association of selected chronic/latent viral

Serum HCV RNA levels and HCV genotype do not affect insulin resistance in nondiabetic patients with chronic hepatitis C: a multicentre study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) induces insulin resistance (IR) and subsequently diabetes. OBJECTIVE To examine viral, metabolic and histological predictors of IR in 275 CHC patients to test the hypothesis that IR differs among HCV genotypes and that viral replication directly affects

Oxidant stress in HIV-infected women from the Women's Interagency HIV Study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Oxidant stress contributes to the pathogenesis of multiple conditions and can be assessed by measuring plasma F(2)-isoprostane concentrations. We hypothesized that oxidant stress is associated with plasma homocysteine concentration and risk factors for atherosclerosis in HIV-infected

Insulin resistance: a major factor associated with significant liver fibrosis in Egyptian patients with genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The role of insulin resistance (IR) in chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 (CHC-4) patients is still under assessment. The aims of this study are to assess the prevalence and predictors of IR and its influence along with clinical, metabolic, virological, and histological factors on the severity

Association of a genetic polymorphism in ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 with hepatitis C virus infection and hepatitis C virus core antigen levels in subjects in a hyperendemic area of Japan.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The clinical course of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is strongly associated with insulin resistance and obesity. The K121Q polymorphism in the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (ENPP)-1 gene and the rs7566605 genotype located near insulin-induced gene 2 have

Adiponectin levels and insulin resistance among patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Only registered users can translate articles

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with insulin resistance (IR), rapid disease progression, and decreased virological response to antiviral treatment. In addition, obesity is a risk factor for chronic hepatitis C evolution and is associated with IR. As adiponectin is an

Nutritional status impacts dengue virus infection in mice

Only registered users can translate articles

Background: Dengue virus (DENV) is estimated to infect 390 million people annually. However, few host factors that alter disease severity are known. Malnutrition, defined as both over- and undernutrition, is a growing problem worldwide

[Factors influencing clinical course of viral hepatitis].

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatitis B and C are diseases characterized by a high global prevalence, complex clinical course and limited efficacy of currently available antiviral therapy. Hepatitis B: local factors have a significant influence not only on the disease prevalence but also on the disease course. Vertical

Only registered users can translate articles

We assessed prevalence of multimorbidity (MM) according to year of HIV diagnosis in people living with HIV (PLHIV) of geriatric age.Cross-sectional study of MM in PLHIV over 70 years old from the Dat'AIDS French multicentric cohort. MM was defined as at

Factors Affecting the Virological Response Among Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Patients in Yemen.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is increasingly seen as a major public health problem, threat, and concern worldwide. In Yemen about 1.7% of the population is infected with chronic hepatitis C. This study aimed to detect the predictors for response to pegylated interferon and ribavirin

Reactivation of BK Virus in the Early Period After Kidney Transplantation.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Typically, polyoma BK virus (BKV) remains latent in the urogenital tract after primary infection. Reactivation of BKV in recipients of kidney allografts can cause progressive graft dysfunction known as BK virus nephropathy (BKVN). The cornerstone of treatment for BKVN is prevention;
