Silver Nanoparticle‐Mediated Antiviral Efficacy against Enveloped Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Global Challenges, EarlyView.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad‐spectrum antiviral activity by targeting key viral structures and processes. They disrupt viral envelopes, compromising integrity, and bind to nucleocapsids, impairing viral replication. AgNPs also inhibit glycoprotein interactions, preventing viral attachment and entry into host cells.

Performance and Outcomes of Routine Viral Load Testing in People Living with HIV Newly Initiating ART in the Integrated HIV Care Program in Myanmar between January 2016 and December 2017

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
Myanmar has introduced routine viral load (VL) testing for people living with HIV (PLHIV) starting first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). The first VL test was initially scheduled at 12-months and one year later this changed to 6-months.

Antitumour effects of antiretroviral therapy [PDF]

Nature Reviews Cancer, 2004
Infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with an increased risk of certain tumours, particularly Kaposi's sarcoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and cervical cancer. However, the incidence of these tumours in HIV-infected patients has decreased significantly since the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).

Within-host HIV models with periodic antiretroviral therapy [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
This paper investigates the effect of drug treatment on the standard within-host HIV model, assuming that therapy occurs periodically. It is shown that eradication is possible under these periodic regimes, and we quantitatively characterize successful drugs or drug combinations, both theoretically and numerically.

Establishing Sustainable Access to Quality Uterotonics in Kano, Lagos and Niger States—A Supply Chain Perspective

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The quality of oxytocin and misoprostol, the most widely used uterotonics for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) management, suffer supply chain challenges and climactic susceptibilities. Aim To describe a supply chain strengthening programme for introducing heat‐stable Carbetocin (HSC), to health facilities in Kano, Lagos and Niger ...

Crusted scabies-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background Despite the widely accepted association between crusted scabies and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection, crusted scabies has not been included in the spectrum of infections associated with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome ...

Adhering to antiretroviral therapy: A qualitative analysis of motivations for and obstacles to consistent use of antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV

SAGE Open Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Based on the 2015 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, 40% of people living with HIV in the United States with an HIV diagnosis and 18.5% of people living with HIV in HIV care in the United States are not virally suppressed ...

Improved cervical screening using HPV type restriction and cycle threshold limit setting with the AmpFire assay: A prospective screening cohort of women with and without HIV in Botswana

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of HPV type restriction and cycle threshold (Ct)‐limit setting to optimize detection of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) with primary HPV testing. Methods Baseline cervical screening at time of entry into a prospective longitudinal cohort of women with and without HIV was ...

A literature review on cardiovascular risk in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients: implications for clinical management

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, there has been growing concern about an increasing rate of cardiovascular diseases in human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients, which could be associated with side effects of highly active antiretroviral therapy.

A schematic age-structured compartment model of the impact of antiretroviral therapy on HIV incidence and prevalence [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
A simple deterministic model is proposed to represent the basic aspects concerning the effects of different antiretroviral treatment schedules on HIV incidence and prevalence of affected populations. The model mimics current treatment guidelines applied in Brazil. However, the model does not intend to fit the data with any acceptable degree of accuracy
