Nearly immediately following the characterization of HIV, the metabolic disturbances in HIV-positive patients, particularly changes in insulin sensitivity, were reported. The chronic inflammation due to metabolic changes caused by HIV-Infection on one hand and the antiretroviral therapy (ART) itself
The BioMed rTSST-1 Variant Vaccine has been developed by Biomedizinische ForschungsgmbH as one component of a polyvalent staphylococcal vaccine for the prevention of toxic shock and hyperimmunization of donors for the production of TSST-1 immunoglobulin.
This is a prospective, randomized, parallel
Background:
- Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a multicentric angioproliferative tumor that most frequently involves skin, but can also involve lymph nodes, lungs and gastrointestinal tract. It is most common in people with HIV or other forms of immune compromise. Patients with AIDS-associated KS have worse
It has been reported that PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scan is also useful in diagnosing breast cancer. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), which based on glucose metabolism for the determination of malignancy, is the most popular PET tracer at present. However, 18F-FDG is not tumor specific.
Routine virologic and immunologic tests to monitor HIV-1 in infected individuals on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) include CD4 T-cell enumeration, HIV-1 plasma viral load, and HIV-1 genotypic resistance testing at baseline for treatment-naive patients and following virologic failure
Background:
- (18)F FLT, a thymidine analog, has uptake in tumors that correlates with proliferative rates and may be an early predictor of tumor response.
- Due to uptake in inflammatory tissues, routinely used (18)F FDG PET/CT is often unable to distinguish therapeutic response from reactive
Lung cancer has become a leading cause of cancer death in Taiwan. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) using has been found to be effective in diagnosing, staging, and restaging primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, 18F-FDG is not tumor specific. It may
Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases, comprised of Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are idiopathic disorders caused due to immunological, genetic, and environmental factors. These disorders are fairly common (in the US, there are 11 cases of CD and 7 cases of UC for every 100,000

Study Design:
The study will be a 24-week randomised double blind crossover study comparing the effect on asthma control of oral atorvastatin therapy (40 mg daily) with that of a matched placebo. Each treatment will be administered for 8 weeks separated by a 6-week washout period and a 2-week run-in
