The purpose of this study was to determine what relationship exists among physical activity levels and viral load and CD4+ cell count in HIV-infected individuals. Increased viral load is associated with disease progression and symptom severity. A convenience sample of 66 male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 64 years of age (mean 39 +/- 8) was recruited from a hospital-based HIV/A...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and viral load of epstein–barr virus (ebv) and human herpesvirus‑6 (hhv‑6) in different histopathologic grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). methods: forty‑five formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded tissue section of oscc patients were analyzed by quantitative real‑time polymerase chain reaction for detection of ebv and hhv‑...

introduction: endothelial cells are subjected to mechanical forces caused by pulsatile flow and pressure leading to hemodynamic shear stress and circumferential stress on endothelial layer. the study aimed at a quantitative evaluation of endothelial cell morphology by application of cyclic loading. endothelial cells respond to applied loads with adaptation and remodeling. such mechanisms are ma...

In this paper, an intelligent control strategy based on combination of the “flatness based control technique” and the “perturbation and observation (P&O) MPPT algorithm” is developed and investigated to control a hybrid electric energy source (HEPS). This EHPS is composed of a fuel cell system (FC) and a solar panel (SP), as the main source and a supercapacitor bank (SC), as the auxiliary sourc...

The role of hormonal contraceptive use in the effectiveness of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was examined among participants in the Women's Interagency HIV Study who were followed from HAART initiation to 2001. Propensity score selection was used to match 77 hormonal contraceptive users with 77 nonusers on age, race, and pre-HAART CD4-positive T-lymphocyte (CD4+ cell) count and v...
