Substance use is a major driver of the HIV epidemic and associated with poor care outcomes. Patient navigation (care coordination case management) financial incentives for achieving predetermined outcomes are interventions increasingly promoted to engage patients in substance disorders treatment care, but there little evidence their efficacy improving HIV-1 viral suppression rates.To assess effect structured patient intervention or without improve rates among elevated loads recruited as...
Since the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), incidence opportunistic infections (OI) in patients with HIV has markedly decreased. Despite this, there are still large numbers Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) cases at Cook County Hospital (CCH). To better understand this patient group, we performed a retrospective chart review 120 pathologically proven PCP from January 1998 to June 2001. One hundred four were included study. Sixty-nine percent our substance abusers and...

Background. Myoglobinuric acute renal failure causes increased oxidative stress. Since ethanol upregulates antioxidant enzymes and wine polyphenols behave as antioxidants, we tested the hypothesis that red components would ameliorate damage caused by rhabdomyolysis. Methods. Adult rats received water (control), alcohol-free wine, 12.5% (v/v) or for 10 weeks. Rhabdomyolysis was induced glycerol injection (50%, ml/kg, i.m.), urine blood samples were collected 6 h later to measure function...
In the HAART era, incidence of HIV-associated non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is decreasing. We describe cases NHL among patients with multi-class antiretroviral resistance diagnosed rapidly after initiating newer-class antiretrovirals, and examine immunologic virologic factors associated potential IRIS-mediated NHL. During December 2006 to January 2008, eligible HIV-infected from two affiliated clinics accessed Expanded Access Program antiretrovirals raltegravir, etravirine, and/or maraviroc...
Despite professional guidelines to conduct universal early childhood developmental screening, primary care providers often struggle with identification of delays, referrals interventions, and connecting families services. In this study, we tested the efficacy telephone-based screening coordination through 2-1-1 Los Angeles County, which is part a national network call centers, compared usual alone.

The proportion of older people with end stage renal disease is increasing. Their prognosis characterized by a high mortality and poor quality life.To analyze the survival patients starting chronic hemodialysis (CHD) according to their age.Patients admitted CHD in East Metropolitan Health Service Santiago 2-year period were analyzed. Four age groups created, separating than 70 years special group.During study period, 459 followed for an average 27 months. frequency cardiovascular comorbidity,...
Prostatic abscess is an uncommon infection that occurs in patients with preexisting medical conditions, diabetes mellitus, instrumentation of the lower urinary tract, indwelling urethral catheters, and bladder outlet obstruction. In antibiotic era, most common etiologic agents are Escherichia coli other gram-negative organisms native to tract. We report a rare case prostatic caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). also review cases abscesses...
Early intervention services can improve outcomes for children with developmental delays. Health care providers, however, often struggle to ensure timely referrals and services. We tested the effectiveness of telephone-based early childhood coordination through 211 LA, a health human call center serving Los Angeles County, in increasing referral enrollment
