Substantial Increase In Survival After Introduction Of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy For HIV-1 Infection (p 1267)
Research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights the substantial increased survival for people with HIV-1 since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in 1997. However the study also shows a shift in risk profiles compared with earlier data-people over 45 years no longer appear to have reduced survival... view more... (2003-10-15)
Changing thermal conductivity to improve the performance of Silicon Nitride components
Silicon nitride ceramics are important engineering materials due to their excellent properties such as fracture toughness, wear resistance and high temperature strength. view more (2006-01-17)
Relationship between incarceration and race disparities in US HIV rates explored
There may be a relationship between incarceration and race disparities in American HIV rates, Yale researchers report in the Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved. view more (2005-12-13)
Study sheds light on causes of HIV dementia
A new study led by researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University has clarified how two major variants of HIV differ in their ability to cause neurologic complications. view more (2008-12-04)
'Good bacteria' in women give clues for slowing HIV transmission
Beneficial bacteria found in healthy women help to reduce the amount of vaginal HIV among HIV-infected women and make it more difficult for the virus to spread, boosting the possibility that "good bacteria" might someday be tapped in the fight against HIV. view more (2008-02-07)
HIV is a 'double hit' to the brain
New evidence reported in the August issue of Cell Stem Cell, a publication of Cell Press, offers a novel perspective on how the HIV/AIDS virus leads to learning and memory deficits, a condition known as HIV-associated dementia. view more (2007-08-16)
HIV exploits competition among T-cells
A new HIV study shows how competition among the human immune system's T cells allows the virus to escape destruction and eventually develop into full-blown AIDS. view more (2006-10-17)
HIV accessory protein disables host immunity via receptor-protein intermediary
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that an HIV-1 accessory protein called Vpr destroys the host cell's ability to survive by binding to a host receptor. view more (2006-03-31)
Safety of new microbicide for HIV prevention to be tested in young women in US trial
Nearly half of all people infected with HIV/AIDS are now women, the majority of whom contracted the disease through sexual intercourse with male partners. view more (2007-07-10)
Study finds racial disparities in smoking cessation treatment
A new study from the American Cancer Society finds black and Hispanic smokers are less likely than whites to receive and use smoking cessation advice and aids. view more (2008-04-25)

International HIV/AIDS trial finds continuous antiretroviral therapy superior to episodic therapy
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced that enrollment into a large international HIV/AIDS trial comparing continuous antiretroviral therapy with episodic drug treatment guided by levels of CD4+ cells has been stopped. view more (2006-01-18)
Researchers discover how leukaemia virus spreads through the body
Researchers from Imperial College London, University of Oxford, Kagoshima University (Japan) and University of the Ryukyus (Japan) have discovered the mechanism by which human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the virus which causes adult T-cell leukaemia, spreads through the body. view more (2003-02-12)
Even older women at high risk have little interest in being tested for HIV, study finds
Few older women were interested in being tested for the virus that causes AIDS despite having significant risk factors for lifetime exposure, according to a study published in the July/August edition of the Journal of Women's Health. view more (2007-08-08)
New sleep medication shows less potential to foster abuse and dependence
As part of the effort to develop effective behavioral and medical sleep therapies, scientists consider the potential for dependence and abuse associated with prescription sleep drugs. view more (2006-06-05)
AIDS, TB, malaria and bird flu spread unchecked in Burma
Government policies in Burma that restrict public health and humanitarian aid have created an environment where AIDS, drug-resistant tuberculosis, malaria and bird flu (H5N1) are spreading unchecked. view more (2006-03-28)
An HIV-blocking gel for women
University of Utah scientists developed a new kind of "molecular condom" to protect women from AIDS in Africa and other impoverished areas. Before sex, women would insert a vaginal gel that turns semisolid in the presence of semen, trapping AIDS virus particles in a microscopic mesh so they can't infect vaginal cells. view more (2009-08-10)
Exciting Development in Anti-Retroviral Drug Discovery Made at Oxford
Researchers in Oxford University's Sir William Dunn School of Pathology have developed a novel HTS for identifying antiretroviral (HIV) agents/drugs that inhibit HIV infectivity. Current anti-viral drugs prolong the quality of life for many HIV-1+ individuals, but they do not stop the virus from infecting new cells. Since these drugs mostly... view more... (2003-06-05)
HIV dearms protective protein in cells
The AIDS-causing HIV specifically counteracts the mechanisms of human cells that protect these against viral infections -- a special viral protein marks protective cellular proteins for their rapid destruction and thus diminishes the cell's supply. view more (2009-04-16)
International HIV/AIDS trial finds risks increase on episodic antiretroviral therapy
Results from one of the largest HIV/AIDS treatment trials ever conducted show that a specific strategy of interrupting antiretroviral therapy more than doubles the risk of AIDS or death from any cause. view more (2006-11-30)
