Characterization of the OSSN Microbiome in HIV-1 Infected Patients
Purpose: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is a rare cancer previously seen in elderly men. In Botswana there is an increase in OSSN and pterygia among young HIV-1 infected patients. Factors that determine the course of this cancer have not been characterized. Recent studies identified HPV, EBV, KSHV, HSV-1/2, and CMV in patient samples. We now characterize the microbiome associated with...
متن کاملA Simple and Rapid Method for the Detection of HIV-1/HCV in Co-Infected Patients
Background: Due to some limitations of serological methods in diagnosis of patients infected with HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus) and HCV (hepatitis C virus), it is profoundly important to use molecular methods for the detecting of these infectious agents. However, the most significant problems are the exorbitant cost of these methods and the need of a thermocycler which is an expensive...

متن کاملThe effect of 12 weeks combined training on the antioxidant/oxidative indexes in HIV-infected patients
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been associated with high oxidative stress in HIV patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks combined training on the antioxidant/oxidative indexes in HIV-infected patients. Materials and methods: In this semi-experimental study, 30 AIDS patients were selected in a targeted and accessible way and...
متن کاملImmune reconstitution in HIV-1-infected patients.
HIV-1-specific CD8 cytotoxic and CD4 helper T-lymphocytes, which are respectively the central effector and regulatory cells in viral infections, together with fully functional antigen-presenting cells, are essential at all stages of HIV-1 infection to control viral activity. Recent studies indicate that such protective HIV-1-specific immune responses can be preserved/induced in HIV-1-infected i...
