HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW HIV-associated neurocognitive disease is the most active topic for neuroAIDS investigations at present. Although impairment is mild in patients successfully treated with modern antiviral regimens, it remains an ongoing problem for HIV patients. It is important to update the emerging research concerning HIV-associated neurocognitive disease. RECENT FINDINGS The virus enters t...
متن کاملTryptophan, Neurodegeneration and HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorder
This review presents an up-to-date assessment of the role of the tryptophan metabolic and catabolic pathways in neurodegenerative disease and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder. The kynurenine pathway and the effects of each of its enzymes and products are reviewed. The differential expression of the kynurenine pathway in cells within the brain, including inflammatory cells, is explored giv...
متن کاملOligodendrocyte Injury and Pathogenesis of HIV-1-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders
Oligodendrocytes wrap neuronal axons to form myelin, an insulating sheath which is essential for nervous impulse conduction along axons. Axonal myelination is highly regulated by neuronal and astrocytic signals and the maintenance of myelin sheaths is a very complex process. Oligodendrocyte damage can cause axonal demyelination and neuronal injury, leading to neurological disorders. Demyelinati...
متن کاملAstrocyte-endothelial Interactions: Implications for Hiv- Associated Neurocognitive Disorder
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are estimated to affect almost 60% of HIV infected individuals. HIV-encephalitis (HIVE), the pathological correlate of the most severe form of HAND is often characterized by glial activation, cytokine/chemokine dysregulation, and neuronal damage and loss. However, the severity of HIVE correlates better with glial activation rather than viral load. ...
متن کاملHIV-associated neurocognitive disorders: recent advances in pathogenesis, biomarkers, and treatment
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remain prevalent despite plasma viral suppression by antiretroviral agents. In fact, the prevalence of milder subtypes of cognitive impairment is increasing. Neuropsychologic testing remains the "gold standard" of diagnosis; however, this is time consuming and costly in a resource-poor environment. Recently developed screening tools, such as CogSta...
