Episodic fevers and vasodilatory shock mimicking urosepsis in a patient with HIV-associated multicentric Castleman’s Disease: a case report [PDF]
Background: Multicentric Castleman's disease (MCD) is a pre-malignancy that presents with lymphadenopathy and features of systemic inflammation. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated MCD is associated with human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) infection ...

Discovery of a novel 5-carbonyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide class of inhibitors of the HIV-1 integrase–LEDGF/p75 interaction [PDF]
Though much progress has been made in the inhibition of HIV-1 integrase catalysis, clinical resistance mutations have limited the promise of long-term drug prescription. Consequently, allosteric inhibition of integrase activity has emerged as a promising

A multisystem investigation of raltegravir association with intestinal tissue: implications for pre-exposure prophylaxis and eradication [PDF]
ObjectivesRecent clinical data have suggested high raltegravir concentrations in gut tissue after oral administration, with implications for treatment and prevention. We have used in silico, in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models to further investigate the

Digoxin reveals a functional connection between HIV-1 integration preference and T-cell activation [PDF]
HIV-1 integrates more frequently into transcribed genes, however the biological significance of HIV-1 integration targeting has remained elusive. Using a selective high-throughput chemical screen, we discovered that the cardiac glycoside digoxin inhibits
