Highlighted Article: HIV Infection and Myocardial Infarction
HIV Infection and Myocardial Infarction
Author(s):
Leonardo Calza Pages 456 - 465 ( 10 )
Abstract:
Background: After the advent of the potent combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) the incidence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) has declined dramatically and HIV infection became a chronic disease with a significant increase in the life expectancy of HIV-positive people. Consequently, chronic comorbidities as coronary heart disease raised an increasing concern in this population.
Objective: Aim of this editorial...

CD8+ T-Cells: Function and Response to HIV Infection
Author(s):
Naveed Gulzar and Karen F.T. CopelandPages 23-37 (15)
Abstract:
CD8+ T-cells are a critical component of the cellular immune response and they play an important role in the control of viral infection. During HIV infection, CD8+ T-cells are able to recognize infected cells through an MHC-I dependent process and are able to lyse cells harboring viral infection by the secretion of perforin and granzymes. These cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) can also eliminate virally infected cells...

Genome Editing – The Latest Weapon For Combatting HIV
Genome Editing – The Latest Weapon For Combatting HIV
HIV is among the most feared viruses that emerged in the last century. Feared it is, because it is complicated for the researchers, let alone the sufferers. Having thousands of brilliant minds working for years and publishing tons of researches in order to find clues to eradicating the HIV completely, the virus has still been very resilient to disappear.
Thus far the efforts have...

EurekAlert ::: Neural networks adapt to the presence of a toxic HIV protein
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) afflict approximately half of HIV infected patients.
Nearly half of HIV infected patients suffer from impaired neurocognitive function. The HIV protein transactivator of transcription (Tat) is an important contributor to HIV neuropathogenesis because it is a potent neurotoxin that continues to be produced despite treatment with antiretroviral therapy.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that Tat altered the activity of networked neurons and that the network adapted to the presence...

Correlates of Patient Retention in HIV Care and Treatment Programs in Nigeria
Author(s):
Chinenye Ugoji, Nwanneka Okere, Patrick Dakum, Rukeme Ake-Uzoigwe, Donald Igboelina, Nicaise Ndembi, Ernest Ekong, Manhattan Charurat and William A. BlattnerPages 300-307 (8)
Abstract:
Background: Long-term retention is a crucial component of HIV care because treatment success can only be measured among retained patients. Understanding determinants of retention will inform retention strategies. We evaluated the correlates of retention...
Brief Messages to Promote Prevention and Detection of Sexually Transmitted Infections
Author(s):
Rocio Garcia-Retamero and Edward T. CokelyPages 408-420 (13)
Abstract:
We review the results of our research program investigating the effects of brief risk awareness interventions for sexually active young adults⎯the age group most at-risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Our review examines the influence of framed messages, individual differences, and visual aids on key attitudes, behavioral intentions, and health outcomes in three extensive longitudinal studies. Our first study showed that health messages can promote...
Effects of a Quasi-Randomized Web-Based Intervention on Risk Behaviors and Treatment Seeking Among HIV-Positive Men Who Have Sex With Men in Chengdu, China
Author(s):
Guodong Mi, Zunyou Wu, Xiaodong Wang, Cynthia X. Shi, Fei Yu, Tian Li, Linglin Zhang, Jennifer M. McGoogan, Lin Pang, Jie Xu and Keming RouPages 490-496 (7)
Abstract:
The men who have sex with men (MSM) population in China has experienced a recent increase in HIV incidence. Due to the dual stigma and discrimination towards homosexuality and HIV infection, most MSM living with HIV/AIDS are hard to reach by offline intervention initiatives....
Perspectives of Genome-Editing Technologies for HIV Therapy
Author(s):
Hirotaka Ebina, Peter Gee and Yoshio KoyanagiPages 2-8 (7)
Abstract:
Background: Current HIV antiretroviral therapies potently suppress virus replication and prevent patients from progressing to AIDS but are unable to completely eliminate HIV due to the existence of dormant viral reservoirs which threaten to reemerge at anytime. Recently, genome-editing technologies that can recognize specific DNA sequences, including viral DNA, are...
Cellular Antiviral Factors that Target Particle Infectivity of HIV-1
Author(s):
Christine GoffinetPages 211-216 (6)
Abstract:
Background: In the past decade, the identification and characterization of antiviral genes with the ability to interfere with virus replication has established cell-intrinsic innate immunity as a third line of antiviral defense in addition to adaptive and classical innate immunity. Understanding how cellular factors have evolved to inhibit HIV-1 reveals particularly vulnerable points of...
