HIV As Trojan Exosome: Immunological Paradox Explained?

The HIV pandemic is still a major global challenge, despite the widespread availability of antiretroviral drugs. An effective vaccine would be the ideal approach to bringing the pandemic to an end. However, developing an effective HIV vaccine has proven to be an elusive goal. Three major human HIV vaccine trials revealed a strong trend toward greater risk of infection among vaccine recipients v...

The benzaldehyde oxidation paradox explained by the interception of peroxy radical by benzyl alcohol.

Benzaldehyde readily undergoes autoxidation to form benzoic acid on exposure to air at room temperature. Yet it can be formed in high yield from, for example, benzyl alcohol by oxidation using a variety of procedures and catalysts. Here we report the evidence to resolve this apparent paradox. It is confirmed that benzyl alcohol (and a number of other alcohols), even at low concentrations in ben...

Genetic Explanations: Sense and Nonsense

plied to scalar, electromagnetic, and spinorial fields in order to prepare the reader for understanding field interactions. The authors introduce the scattering matrix, FeynmanDyson diagrams, and the effective scattering cross section as general problems of field interactions. They examine divergence-free second order processes, using Compton scattering and Møller scattering as examples, and ca...

Body Mass Index-Mortality Paradox in Hemodialysis Can It Be Explained by Blood Pressure?

Unlike the general population, among hemodialysis patients body mass index (BMI) is related to blood pressure (BP) and mortality inversely. To explore the reasons for this risk-factor paradox, the cross-sectional association of obesity with the following factors was examined: the prevalence of hypertension, its control, and echocardiographic left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Longitudinal foll...
