Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Ion Channel Function Testing in Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis.
GOALS: To understand the relationship between acute recurrent pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction. BACKGROUND: An emerging number of patients present with a nonclassic phenotype of cystic fibrosis (CF) with partial features or single-organ disease only. The […]
GERD-related Erosive Esophagitis and Obesity.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To date, many studies have reported on the association of obesity with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), although none of these have been systematic. In light of this, we conducted this study to examine the association of obesity and GERD. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of […]
An Analysis of Distal Esophageal Impedance in Individuals With and Without Esophageal Motility Abnormalities.
BACKGROUND: Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and manometry provides simultaneous evaluation of bolus transit and pressure changes within the esophagus. The aim of this study was to analyze and to compare distal esophageal impedance values between healthy volunteers and patients […]
Application of Wireless Capsule Endoscopy for the Evaluation of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Patients With Ileal Pouches.
BACKGROUND: Although wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) is widely used in the assessment of small bowel pathology, its application in patients with ileal pouches has not been evaluated. Persistent anemia has been observed in patients with ileal […]
The Associations of Regional Adipose Tissue With Lipid and Lipoprotein Levels in HIV-Infected Men.
BACKGROUND:: HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy are associated with dyslipidemia, but the association between regional adipose tissue depots and lipid levels is not defined. METHODS:: The association of magnetic resonance imaging- measured visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and regional subcutaneous […]
Determination of Clinically Relevant Cutoffs for HIV-1 Phenotypic Resistance Estimates Through a Combined Analysis of Clinical Trial and Cohort Data.
BACKGROUND:: Clinically relevant cutoffs are needed for the interpretation of HIV-1 phenotypic resistance estimates as predicted by \’\’virtual\’\’ phenotype HIV resistance analysis. METHODS:: Using a clinical data set containing 2596 treatment change episodes […]
Early Changes in T-Cell Activation Predict Antiretroviral Success in Salvage Therapy of HIV Infection.
OBJECTIVE:: Because effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces immune activation, we hypothesize that early changes in immune activation are associated with subsequent virologic response to therapy. DESIGN:: Observational cohort study. SETTING:: Institutional HIV clinic. SUBJECTS:: Thirty-four adult HIV patients with […]
Differential Extracellular and Intracellular Concentrations of Zidovudine and Lamivudine in Semen and Plasma of HIV-1-Infected Men.
OBJECTIVES:: To quantitate extracellular and intracellular zidovudine (ZDV) and lamivudine (3TC) concentrations in blood and semen of HIV-1-infected men. DESIGN:: Nonblind, single-center, open-label pharmacokinetic (PK) study in 14 subjects receiving ZDV plus 3TC. METHODS:: Paired blood and […]
Modifications of HIV-1 DNA and Provirus-Infected Cells During 24 Months of Intermittent Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy.
BACKGROUND:: Few data have been reported on the dynamics of HIV-1 DNA during intermittent highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). In this study, we measured cell-associated HIV-1 DNA and provirus-infected cells during the Istituto Superiore di Sanita;Pulsed Antiretroviral […]
Second-Line Salvage Treatment of AIDS-Associated Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia: A Case Series and Systematic Review.
BACKGROUND:: Limited clinical data exist to guide the choice of second-line salvage treatment for AIDS-associated Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP). METHODS:: We did a systematic search of MEDLINE for all randomized and observational studies of PCP treatment published up to […]
