  2. 6. Applied Population Pharmacokinetic/ Pharmacodynamic Modeling of Antiretroviral and Antimalarial Drug Therapy

    Author : Daniel Röshammar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HIV; malaria; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; pharmacometrics; NONMEM;

    Abstract : HIV/AIDS and malaria are two major global infectious diseases. Although better drugs against these conditions are becoming more available, dosages may not always be optimal with respect to effectiveness, safety, cost or convenience of administration. READ MORE

  4. 7. The EBV-HIV interrelationship and the value of EBV-DNA analysis

    Author : Anna M C Friis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects the vast majority of humans and resides latently in B-cells. This virus carries genes that can induce and sustain mature B cell growth. EBV is associated with a wide range of B-cell lymphomas including Burkitt lymphoma and non Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infected patients. READ MORE

  5. 8. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in migrant women living with HIV

    Author : Christina Carlander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in women living with HIV (WLWH) in Sweden compared with HIV-negative women (HNW) of the same region of birth. In Paper I we assessed the cumulative incidence (CuI) and hazard ratio (HR) of CIN3, adenocarcinoma, and invasive cervical cancer (CIN3+) in a cohort of WLWH (n = 893) and HNW (n = 205 842) by linking the Swedish national HIV registry (InfCare HIV) with the Swedish Population Registry (SPR) and the Swedish National Cervical Screening Registry (NKCx).

    Keywords : AIDS; antiretroviral therapy; CD4; DNA load; HIV; immunotherapy; viral kinetics; nursing; medical care; quality of life; real-time PCR; rgpl60; RNA load; therapy interruption.;

    Abstract : The treatment of people infected with HIV was revolutionised with the introduction of protease inhibitor based antiretroviral combination therapy. The therapy has greatly reduced the incidence of AIDS and AIDS-related mortality in the industrialised world. READ MORE

  7. 10. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic aspects of drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral and anti-tuberculosis drugs in Ethiopian patients : implication for optimization of TB-HIV co-treatment

    Author : Abiy Habtewolde Eyakem; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : TB and HIV are immuno-pathologically interacting epidemic infectious diseases affecting the lives of millions globally & sub-Saharan African region accounts the highest burden of both diseases. Although effective therapies are available for the management of each, TB-HIV co-treatment has faced challenges mainly due to drug-drug interactions & overlapping drug toxicities. READ MORE
