BACKGROUND A community-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) programme was established in 2001 in a South African township to explore the operational issues involved in providing ART in the public sector in resource-limited settings and demonstrate the feasibility of such a service. METHODS Data was analysed on a cohort of patients with symptomatic HIV disease and a CD4 lymphocyte count < 200 x ...

A prospective study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of serum neopterin and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) concentrations in comparison to CD4 count to study the progression of HIV disease and monitor response to ART in HIV cases. One hundred newly diagnosed HIV seropositive subjects were recruited. CD4 counts were determined by FACS system. Serum neopterin and sIL-2R levels were measur...

Introduction: The adaptive rcsonance theory neural network (ART) as suggested by Grossberg [l] is a useful tool for pattern recognition. The original ART architecture (ART1 j, however, is capable of processing binary inputs only. The fuzzy ART [2] overcomes some of the limitations of ART1. While it has a similar architecture to that of ARTI, it can process continuous valued data, and has a fast...

c’est surtout à partir du xix siècle, précisément à l’époque où la peinture cesse de s’appuyer sur une caution littéraire, que la littérature va retrouver, plus volontiers qu’auparavant, son inspiration dans la peinture.        dans l&apos;&apos;œuvre, où la figure du peintre raté, claude lanier, était composée de traits  empruntés à ses deux amis de zola, cézanne et manet, l’activité picturale...
