Uncertainty persists regarding the contribution of tissue macrophages to HIV reservoirs, largely due insufficient characterization these reservoirs within their native microenvironments. This study aimed characterize and quantify macrophage in human lymph node (LN) tissues terms phenotype, location, potential for sustained productive infection during suppressive antiretroviral therapy. We examined topology, nature, size nodes (LNs) from 45 PLWH subtype C on ART 14 matched controls using situ...
Water treatment residue (WTR), a waste by-product of the 'drinking' water industry, consists mainly clay and fine silt flocculated out suspension by chemicals such as polyelectrolytes aluminium sulfate. This was disposed almost exclusively in landfill, but land is increasingly being seen possible alternative for this form waste. A key concern, however, that should WTR decompose to its constituent fractions, could cause blockage pores decrease hydraulic properties soil. To test hypothesis, 2...
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and placental neutrophil reverse transmigration (r-TM) are implicated in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia (PE). However, role comorbidity PE human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection r-TM serum NETs remains unknown. Human tissue (n = 160) 80) samples were obtained post-ethical approval divided by pregnancy type HIV status across study population. Immunohistochemistry morphometry performed to localize quantify junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C)...
Water treatment residue (WTR), a by-product from the production of potable water, was traditionally disposed to landfill but there is growing interest in applying this waste land as an alternative disposal option. Because WTR consists mainly flocculated fine silt and clay, concern that should decompose back its original constituents, adverse risk for soil water storage transmission properties soil. In laboratory study, four different types were amended with polyacrylamide at rates ranging 0...
The occurrence of placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is rare. PSTT following molar pregnancy uncommon. report describes the presentation in background human immunodeficiency virus infection.
The appropriate management of gynecological malignancies in association with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is not established. To date the reported literature on subject consists mainly case reports. Due to increasing prevalence HIV infection, especially sub-Saharan countries, chances finding both conditions same patient has produced and ethical dilemmas. This retrospective study describes 12 HIV-infected patients compares their outcome 29 non patients. mean age was 30 years...
