Mechanisms of impairment of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco), which affects over 50 percent of HIV+ individuals, are poorly understood. No therapies exist despite significant impact on quality of life and mortality. Identifying molecular pathways of DLco impairment in HIV+ individuals
Despite laudable reductions in global childhood mortality rates, pneumonia remains the second most frequent killer of children less than five years old worldwide. Nearly one million children succumbed to pneumonia in 2013, with greater than half of these deaths in Africa. In Malawi, which has a high
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary hypertension is a severe disorder defined by an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) as >25 mmHg at rest. A classification of the different types of pulmonary hypertension has been established according to shared pathologic and clinical features as well as similar
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a worldwide epidemic disease that the global prevalence of it was estimated to be approximately 210 million individuals and accounting for more than three million deaths annually. And currently, it is the fifth chief cause of death in the United State
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an increase in the blood pressure (BP) in the small pulmonary vessels, arteries, veins or capillaries that results in progressive increases in right ventricular afterload, often leading to right ventricular failure and death. Pulmonary hypertension can result from a
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the major cause of hepatic failure worldwide. Although the clinical course of HBV infection varies widely, the prognosis of decompensated liver cirrhosis is quite poor and the 5-year survival rate has been estimated to be only 14-35% without treatment.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of single agent bortezomib in subjects with AIDS-related Kaposi sarcoma (KS).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the clinical response of KS tumors to bortezomib. II. Evaluate the impact of bortezomib on human immunodeficiency virus
Community-acquired pneumonia is a common and potentially serious infection that affects children worldwide. The annual incidence of pneumonia in children younger than five years of age is 34 to 40 cases per 1000 in Europe and North America, higher than at any other time of life [1]. In developing
This study was to enroll up to 200 participants with PH due to the following etiologies: 1) PAH including idiopathic and familial PAH and PAH associated with collagen vascular disease, congenital systemic-to-pulmonary shunts (including Eisenmenger's syndrome), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
