Costs of eliminating HIV in South Africa have been underestimated.
In 2009, Reuben Granich and colleagues reported, on the basis of a modelling study, that HIV could be eliminated in South Africa by use of a universal “test and treat” strategy. The strategy involved annual testing of all 32 million adults; immediate antiretroviral therapy for those who test positive, irrespective of their CD4+ cell count or stage of infection; and a package of prevention inter...
متن کاملProblems with the estimation of urine protein by automated assays.
OBJECTIVES Most clinical laboratories replaced their manual precipitation techniques for the determination of urinary protein with automated dye binding assays or benzethonium chloride-turbidimetric assays. Few studies have validated these assays for the measurement of urinary proteins in the normal range. DESIGN AND METHODS This study compares four automated assays for the measurement of uri...
متن کاملDo antiangiogenic protein fragments have amyloid properties?
Tumor growth requires proteolytic activity. As a consequence, protein breakdown products are present in the circulation of patients with cancer. Within the past decade a large number of proteolytic fragments have been identified that inhibit angiogenesis and tumor growth. The mechanism of action of these inhibitors is still poorly understood. We recently found that the effects of the angiogenes...
متن کاملMortality reductions produced by sustained prostate cancer screening have been underestimated.
BACKGROUND The recently published European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) reported prostate specific antigen (PSA)-based screening to have reduced the prostate cancer death rate by only 20%. However, this is an underestimate caused by (i) including in the 20% the years before the impact of the first screen becomes manifest, and (ii) not having full information for the...
متن کاملInterpretation of cerebrospinal fluid protein assays in various neurologic diseases.
Albumin and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were determined in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum, and the CSF/serum albumin Index (CSF X 10(3)/serum albumin concentration ratio) and IgG Index [(CSF/serum IgG)/(CSF/serum albumin)] were calculated. Data for these indices and oligoclonal banding are described in 23 cases of multiple sclerosis (MS), 19 of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), eight of sarco...
