Among people with HIV at low to moderate CV risk, pitavastatin showed promise to reduce noncalcified coronary plaque as well as markers of lipid oxidation and arterial inflammation.
HIV Cure: the Daunting Scale of the Problem
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38359111/
Cure strategies are confounded by basic reservoir biology.
Although shock-and-kill strategies are unlikely to produce the degree of reservoir reduction required for cure, reservoir reduction will facilitate immune control, and thus these strategies may be a useful adjunct to immune-based cure efforts.
Accelerated Aging in People Living With HIV: the Neuroimmune Feedback Model
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38356933/
People living with HIV (PLWH) experience earlier onset of aging-related comorbidities compared to their counterparts without HIV. This paper lays out a theoretical model to explain why PLWH experience accelerated...
Depressive symptoms, problematic substance use, low antiretroviral therapy adherence, elevated systemic inflammation, and low connectivity in the brain's central executive network form a self-perpetuating feedback loop.
Bilateral Cryptococcal Choroiditis in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Infected Patient: a Case Report
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38357214
Cryptococcal choroiditis, though exceptionally rare, can occur in HIV-positive patients with disseminated cryptococcosis. Ophthalmologists should maintain a high index of suspicion for opportunistic infections, even in the absence of pronounced...
Cryptococcosis ranks among the most common opportunistic infections in individuals with uncontrolled HIV, yet it is also observed in other states of immunosuppression.
Isolated Inferior Division Oculomotor Nerve Palsy as the First Manifestation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Syphilis Co-Infection: a Rare Case Report
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38357628/
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis are two sexually transmitted diseases that continue to pose significant public health challenges globally. HIV and syphilis can be seen together; individuals with one...
HIV and syphilis can be seen together; individuals with one of these infections are at risk of developing the other. Sharing common risk factors such as sexual transmission or intravenous drug use makes their coincidence likely.
