Ctedwomen who used NVP-based highly active ART with CD4 counts higher than 350 cells/ .19 ART interruption exposes the HIV patient to risk of developing drug resistance. Proper use of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-1 infection enhances treatment outcomes and immunological recovery.LimitationsThe small sample size of pharmacies which were stocking ARVs is a limitation of this study. The study was co
Amyloid plaque deposition [39,42-44]. Indeed, most forms of dementia are accompanied by a widespread degeneration in the cerebral cortex - such as the plaques in AD brain. AD is thus considered a "cortical dementia." HAD is also considered to be a cortical dementia however there is also targeted damage to regions lying under the cortex. Some authors consider HAD to be a subcortical dementia howeve
Tes [26,27]. Once infected or activated by HIV- proteins such as gp120 or Tat, microglia begin to excrete endogenous pro-inflammatory cytokines of the M1 subtype [28]. Histopathologically, activated microglia represent a highly accurate correlate to neuronal death and damage in CNS [29]. Severity of dementia in persons with HAD is strongly correlated with the number of activated macrophages and mi

Ycoprotein that is predominantly expressed by activated T cells, B cells, myeloid cells, and platelets. It has been well established that CD40L upregulates the immune response by leading to increased CD4+ T cell activation; an effect which promotes the replication of HIV in infected lymphocytes and immune cells [104] and also that robust CD40 ligation promotes an inflammatory and neurotoxic enviro
