We present clinical descriptions, metabolic features, and patterns of body fat loss of 16 patients with acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL) seen by us over the last 10 years. In addition, we review 63 cases of AGL reported in the literature. Based on these data, we propose new diagnostic
Life expectancy of HIV-infected patients has improved considerably with HAART. However long term use of HAART is linked with lipodystrophy syndrom (subcutaneous lipoatrophy and central fat accumulation) associated with dyslipemia (hypoHDL, hyperLDL and hypertriglyceridemia) and insulin resistance.
Congenital analbuminaemia is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder in which patients have no serum albumin and markedly low serum total protein concentration. Clinically patients present with mild oedema, hypotension, fatigue and lipodystrophy often with abnormal body habitus. With only around 50
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors for HIV-associated fatigue in the era of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
METHODS
A cross-sectional survey of 100 stable HIV-infected out-patients was carried out. Severity of fatigue was measured using the
David Morris, 47, is the very picture of successful HIV antiretroviral therapy. He was diagnosed with HIV on Dec. 31, 1983, first began to take AZT in 1985, and now is on an antiretroviral regimen that has kept his viral load to undetectable levels. Moreover, Morris has thus far avoided some of the
BACKGROUND
Lipodystrophy (LD; peripheral lipoatrophy, central adiposity) hyperlipidaemia and insulin resistance often complicate protease inhibitor-containing antiretroviral therapy. Lipoatrophy and abdominal distension were observed in protease inhibitor-naive nucleoside analogue reverse
OBJECTIVE
To describe an unusual case of Berardinelli-Seip syndrome with high bone mineral density (BMD).
METHODS
We report the case of a 16-year-old girl presenting with dehydration, fatigue, and myalgia, associated with severe hyperglycemia, hypernatremia, and dramatically increased levels of
OBJECTIVE
Symptoms which are found to cluster consistently can have synergistic effects on patient outcomes and therefore may serve to predict morbidity or disentangle disease progression from comorbid conditions. Self-report HIV-specific symptom and HRQL measures were jointly analyzed in
OBJECTIVE
Among people with HIV, we examined symptom attribution to HIV or HIV-therapy, awareness of potential side effects and discontinuation of treatment, as well as sex/gender differences.
METHODS
HIV-patients (N=168, 46% female) completed a comprehensive symptom checklist (attributing each
Gonadotrophic axis dysfunction is commonly observed in HIV-infected patients. The pathogenesis is multifactorial and related to duration of HIV infection, direct cytopathic effects of viruses, use of drugs, opportunistic infections, malignancies, and malnutrition, among other factors. In men,
Recently ultrasound assisted liposuction (UAL) and pneumatic assisted liposuction (PAL) have been introduced as an attempt to improve the results and reduce the pitfalls of standard liposuction (SAL). Until now no studies comparing, at the same time, UAL, PAL, and SAL have been published. The aim of
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is one of the most common liver disorders. This is highly prevalent in obese and diabetic subjects. Persons with central obesity are at particular risk. Other clinical predictors are age more than 40-50 years and hyperlipidemias, but none of these factors is
This study evaluated the clinical features, course, and outcomes of Iranian children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), juvenile polymyositis (JPM), and other uncommon connective tissue disorders. A chart review of 85 Iranian children with JDM and JPM was performed during a 10-year period from
Severe hypertriglyceridaemia is associated with pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis-induced diabetes. Familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of lipid metabolism characterised by high levels of triglycerides (TGs) due to failure of chylomicron clearance. It
Antiretroviral therapy has changed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection from a near-certainly fatal illness to one that can be managed chronically. More patients are taking antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) for longer periods of time, which naturally results in more observed toxicity. Overdose
