Download or read book HIV and the Pathogenesis of AIDS written by Jay A. Levy and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1998 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of HIV and the Pathogenesis of AIDS updates this important, well–annotated text on HIV pathogenesis. with valuable insights and written with clarity and succinctness, the history and background of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the steps involved in its infection of cells and the development of AIDS are discussed. Aspects of HIV epidemiology and transmission and the HIV–associated cancers that are prominent in infection are also covered. Regarding treatment, Dr Levy discusses the most recent approaches for antiviral therapy that have shown promise in controling infection and presents the challenges faced in developing a vaccine for blocking the transmission of this deadly virus. This book, which was extremely well–received by the scientific community in its initial volume four years ago, provides the most current information on HIV and AIDS and captures the spirit of this virologic and immunologic disease. It defines the future directions that must be taken to find a solution to this devastating illness.
Book Synopsis AIDS Pathogenesis by : H. Schuitemaker
Download or read book AIDS Pathogenesis written by H. Schuitemaker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus is characterized by the destruction of the host immune system as also reflected by a progressive loss of CD4-positive T-cells. This finally results in the host's incapacity to deal with opportunistic infections and the immune surveillance of tumors, a clinical status known as the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The book AIDS Pathogenesis provides the reader with a complete overview of the clinical course of HIV-1 infection. It describes the clinical aspects of primary infection, the different clinical outcomes of HIV-1 infection, and strategies for anti-viral treatment. In addition, more fundamental aspects of HIV-1 infection are reviewed. These include the biology of the virus and the novel insights in AIDS pathogenesis. Not only is the significance of an HIV-specific cellular and humoral immune response discussed, but also the possible incapacity of the adult human host to deal with T-cell destruction. Finally, the book discusses the currently used laboratory markers that allow for monitoring of the clinical course of infection.

Book Synopsis Stochastic Modeling of AIDS Epidemiology and HIV Pathogenesis by : W. Y. Tan
Download or read book Stochastic Modeling of AIDS Epidemiology and HIV Pathogenesis written by W. Y. Tan and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses systematically treatment on the development of stochastic, statistical and state space models of the HIV epidemic and of HIV pathogenesis in HIV-infected individuals, and presents the applications of these models. The book is unique in several ways: (1) it uses stochastic difference and differential equations to present the stochastic models of the HIV epidemic and HIV pathogenesis; in this sense, the deterministic models are considered as special cases when the numbers of different type of people or cells are very large (2) it provides, a critical analysis of deterministic and statistical models in the literature; (3) it develops state space models by combining stochastic models and statistical models; and (4) it provides a detailed discussion on the pros and cons of the different modeling approaches. This book is the first to introduce state space models for the HIV epidemic. It is also the first to develop stochastic models and state space models for the HIV pathogenesis in HIV-infected individuals.

Book Synopsis New Concepts in AIDS Pathogenesis by : Luc Montagnier
Download or read book New Concepts in AIDS Pathogenesis written by Luc Montagnier and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-08-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This resource offers comprehensive explanations of current theories on the pathogenesis of AIDS, examining in detail current data on the role that HIV and its possible cofactors play in the decline of immune system function and the progressive depletion of T lymphocytes. Information is provided on mycoplasmas - a potentially critical component in virus replication and immune activation.;Revealing research studies in support of the theoretical approaches presented, this volume: updates the mechanisms of HIV latency and activation of expression at both the viral and cellular levels in the human and primate systems; emphasizes the role of cytokines in the dysfunction of the immune and central nervous systems; describes the mechanisms of immune activation that result in anergy and programmed cell death involving the viral external glycoprotein and possible other foreign antigens or superantigens; and explicates original hypotheses on pathogenesis where virus glycoproteins may mimic allogenic stimulation and disturb the immune system network.;This reference is intended for immunologists, infectious disease specialists, microbiologists, virologists, molecular and cell biologists, parasitologists and pathologists.
Book Synopsis Cell Activation and Apoptosis in HIV Infection by : Jean-Marie Andrieu
Download or read book Cell Activation and Apoptosis in HIV Infection written by Jean-Marie Andrieu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, the global efforts in the control of HIV disease were basically concentrated on the search for anti-retroviral agents. So far, anti-HIV therapies have been shown to be disappointing because of rapid development of drug-resistant mutant variants. Despite this drawback in the therapeutic fight against HIV infection, antiviral research should be actively pursued. However, failure of antiviral therapy indicates that other avenues of research should be rapidly explored with the same energy. In this setting, striking advances have been recently made in the dissection and understanding of the viro-immunological processes governing the progressive destruction of lymphoid organs associated with AIDS develop ment, and HIV-induced activation and apoptosis have been identified as key phenomena of the immune system destruction. This book assembles the most recent advances on basic and clinical aspects ofT-cell activationiapoptosis in HIV infection and their implications for immunotherapy. These data were presented at an international symposium held on July 11-12, 1994, in Paris. The book is partitioned into 21 chapters covering four comprehensive fields: 1) T-celllmacrophage activation and HIV infection; 2) Apoptosis and viropathogenesis of HI V disease; 3) Apop tosis and immunopathogenesis ofHIV disease; 4) Mediators ofT-cell activationiapoptosis and therapeutic applications. We hope that this book will assist the readers in understanding recent advances in the viro-immunopathogenesis of HI V disease as well as the rationales for potential immune cell-targeted therapeutic interventions.

Download or read book HIV/AIDS written by Ethel K. Hebert and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS: Pathophysiology, Prevention and Treatment first discusses how depression and anxiety occur more frequently in people living with HIV/AIDS than in the general population. Anxiety and depression increase the morbidity of HIV by causing poor adherence to treatment, increased risk for suicide, greater chance for recurrence and various other significant mechanisms.The authors present an analysis of sociological research showing the prevalence of stigma and discrimination against patients with HIV infection at the dental office. Fear of stigma is a key factor in reducing the willingness to disclose HIV status.The recommended treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus infection with HIV coinfection is reviewed, focusing on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacology of drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral therapy and direct-acting antivirals. Insight on the long road towards the eradication of HIV/AIDS is discussed in an effort to achieve sustainable development goals and targets by 2030. Studies conducted in relation to biomedical, structural, behavioural and technological interventions are cited to substantiate this discussions.The closing chapter outlines updated recommendations guiding healthcare professionals to employ treatment as prevention. A discussion of the public health measures necessary to promote the success of treatment as prevention is also included.
