  • Neuropsychiatric Complications of HIV

    A Challenging Health Concern
    • 1st Edition
    • Anchal Singh
    • English
    Neuropsychiatric Complications of HIV: A Challenging Health Concern examines these neuropsychiatric complications prevalent in those who are HIV positive, providing clinical correlation, translational significance, and details guides to neurocognitive assessment, brain imaging, and related neuropharmacology. Written for clinicians, researchers, and students working with HIV and AIDS, the book begins with the biology of HIV, a complete look at available ARTs and antibodies, as well as diagnostics tools for HIV.It continues on to the epidemiology of NeuroAIDs and the manifestations of it—cognitive deficits, dementia, depression, agitation, psychosis, and cognitive slowing.

  • Immunopathology, Diagnosis and Treatment of HPV induced Malignancies

    • 1st Edition
    • Prashant Khare + 1 more
    • English
    Immunopathology, Diagnosis and Treatment of HPV induced Malignancies focuses on the human papilloma virus infection and associated cancers. In ten chapters, the book explains the deep knowledge about molecular mechanism in HPV pathogenesis and recent advanced tools applied in the field of HPV induced cancer and cures. In a nutshell, the book gives new insights and the associated challenges involved in the identification of promising drug and vaccine targets, current diagnostic tools, and advancements in current therapies against HPV induced cancers and other malignancies.

  • Health of HIV Infected People

    Food, Nutrition and Lifestyle without Antiretroviral Drugs
    • 1st Edition
    • Ronald Ross Watson
    • English
    Health of HIV Infected People: Food, Nutrition and Lifestyle Without Antiretroviral Drugs defines the supportive roles of bioactive foods, exercise, and dietary supplements on the health of HIV infected people who do not have access to resources or those who choose not to utilize antiretroviral drugs. Approaches such as the application of traditional herbs and foods are given careful definition by experts who define the risks and benefits of such practices within this important context. Readers learn how to treat or ameliorate the effects of chronic retroviral disease using readily available, cheap foods, and dietary supplements. Ultimately, this work delivers a current, concise, scientific appraisal of the efficacy of key foods, nutrients, dietary plants, and behavioral changes in preventing and improving the quality of life of HIV infected infants and adults who are not undergoing antiretroviral therapy.

  • Natural Hosts of SIV

    Implication in AIDS
    • 1st Edition
    • Aftab A. Ansari + 1 more
    • English
    Natural Hosts of SIV: Implications in AIDS thoroughly reviews the possible mechanisms by which African nonhuman primate natural hosts of lentiviruses remain essentially disease-free while other hosts exhibit disease and death. The book ultimately indicates directions for further research and potential translations of this compelling phenomenon into novel approaches to treat and prevent HIV. When Asian non-human primate non-natural hosts are experimentally infected with viruses isolated from African species, disease and death normally results. Meanwhile, these African nonhuman primate natural hosts maintain similar levels of plasma and cellular viremia and exhibit compellingly different, essentially disease-free, states. This work attempts to answer the question of how the natural host remains disease resistant.

  • Desk Encyclopedia of Human and Medical Virology

    • 1st Edition
    • Brian W.J. Mahy + 1 more
    • English
    This volume contains 82 chapters that provide detail and understanding to the fields of human and medical virology. The first section describes general features of common human viruses with specialized chapters related to HIV/AIDS. The volume goes on to describe exotic virus infections, including one now eradicated virus (smallpox) and some now controlled by vaccination such as yellow fever. Concepts of medical virology are further developed with entries on viruses associated with oncogenesis and selections of interest to medical virology.

  • HIV Prevention

    A Comprehensive Approach
    • 1st Edition
    • Kenneth H. Mayer + 1 more
    • English
    HIV/AIDS continues to be the pandemic of our times and there has not been a comprehensive medically based AIDS prevention book published in the last 5 years. It is estimated that 36 to 45 million people including 2-3 million children already are infected worldwide and an additional 4-7 million more are infected each year. There are about 6,000 new infections daily and about 12 million AIDS orphans. People receiving AIDS treatments feel well and have no detectable viral load, but still can infect others. And even when a vaccine is found, it will take many years before it can be administered across the developing world.

  • HIV I: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis: Clinical Applications

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 56
    • English
    Although it is one of the most-widely studied viruses, many mysteries still remain about HIV. Covering the latest advances and challenges associated with clinical application of new antiviral drugs and vaccines, this revised edition is a companion to Murad: HIV-1: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis, Second Edition. Leading investigators in HIV research present a timely picture of the molecular mechanisms which guide HIV-1 expression and replication and provide the most current clinical strategies for combating this virus.

  • HIV-1: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis: Viral Mechanisms

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 55
    • English
    This volume covers the latest advances in the mechanisms of pathogenesis of the HIV-1 virus on target cells. Its companion volume, Advances in Pharmacology 56, shows how new developments in understanding the virus translate to the clinical setting.

  • The AIDS Pandemic

    Impact on Science and Society
    • 1st Edition
    • Kenneth H. Mayer + 1 more
    • English
    The AIDS Pandemic explores the ways in which HIV/AIDS has, and continues to transform the wide range of related disciplines it touches. Novel perspectives are provided by a unique panel of internationally recognised experts who cover the unprecedented impact onf AIDS on culture, demographics and politics around the world, including how it affected the worlds' economy, health sciences, epidemiology and public health. This important far- reaching analysis uses the lessons learned from a wide array of disciplines to help us understand the current status and evolution of the pandemic, as it continues to evolve.

  • HIV I: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis: Clinical Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 49
    • English
    The cumulative death toll from AIDS has reached 16.3 million individuals, and more than 33 million persons are currently living with HIV-1. Although it is one of the most-widely studied viruses, many mysteries remain about this pathogen. In this comprehensive two-volume set, HIV-1: Molecular Biology and Pathogenesis, leading investigators in HIV research present a timely picture of the molecular mechanisms which guide HIV-1 expression and replication and provide the most current clinical strategies for combating this virus. Twenty-six teams of experts unravel structure-function interactions of HIV-1 with host cells and the resulting pathological consequences, review strategies fo treatment, and describe ongoing progress in developing animal models and prophylactic vaccines.The two volumes, covering viral mechanisms and clinical applications, respectively, are written by an international collection of AIDS expers from North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
