Future of Antiretroviral Drugs and Evolution of HIV-1 Drug Resistance
Highly active antiretroviral (ARV) therapy has been used for many years, but the use in low- and middle-income countries of antiretroviral drugs with low genetic barrier to resistance, combined with limited availability of viral load testing, has led to ...

The role of drug resistance in poor viral suppression in rural South Africa: findings from a population-based study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Understanding factors driving virological failure, including the contribution of HIV drug resistance mutations (DRM), is critical to ensuring HIV treatment remains effective.

Drug-related mutational patterns in hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase proteins from Iranian treatment-Naïve chronic HBV patients [PDF]
Background: Immunomodulators and Nucleotide analogues have been used globally for the dealing of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, the development of drug resistance is a major limitation to their long-term effectiveness.

Patient-Initiated Repackaging of Antiretroviral Therapy, Viral Suppression and Drug Resistance [PDF]
Patient-initiated repackaging of antiretroviral therapy (ART) refers to removal of ART medications from their original manufacturer's containers, and putting them into alternative containers. This behavior may be triggered by stigma associated with HIV infection, and may impact patient outcomes.

HIV-1C proviral DNA for detection of drug resistance mutations. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Using HIV proviral DNA as a template may be suitable for initial detection of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRMs) as it is easy to handle and less expensive compared to RNA.

Directly observed antiretroviral therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Directly observed therapy has been recommended to improve adherence for patients with HIV infection who are on highly active antiretroviral therapy, but the benefit and cost-effectiveness of this approach has not been established conclusively.

Modeling long-term longitudinal HIV dynamics with application to an AIDS clinical study
A virologic marker, the number of HIV RNA copies or viral load, is currently used to evaluate antiretroviral (ARV) therapies in AIDS clinical trials. This marker can be used to assess the ARV potency of therapies, but is easily affected by drug exposures,

YB-1 dependent oncolytic adenovirus efficiently inhibits tumor growth of glioma cancer stem like cells [PDF]
Background: The brain cancer stem cell (CSC) model describes a small subset of glioma cells as being responsible for tumor initiation, conferring therapy resistance and tumor recurrence.
