10068655 | Normal B-lymphocyte maturation and proliferation are regulated by chemotactic cytokines (chemokines), and genetic polymorphisms in chemokines and chemokine receptors modify progression of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. Therefore, 746 HIV-1-infected persons were examined for associations of previously... |
10068734 | BACKGROUND:
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has transformed in a illness pandemic and it is thought that 120 million of people will be infected by the year 2000. About thirty five percent of HIV positive patients will have rectal manifestations during their illness, and from these the most important anore... |
10068917 | Although anecdotal reports suggest that anxiety and depressive disorders may be precipitated by acute infectious mononucleosis (AIM), there are few population-based studies measuring distress and psychiatric disorder during and after infection. The purpose of this research was to study the prevalence of psychiatric dis... |
10069303 | PURPOSE:
To determine the incidence of bacteremia, urinary tract infections, and unsuspected bacterial meningitis in a cohort of children diagnosed with febrile seizures.
METHODS:
We assembled a retrospective, consecutive case series of patients who presented to an urban tertiary care pediatric emergency department fo... |
10069707 | The RSH/Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (RSH/SLOS) is a relatively common, autosomal recessive malformation syndrome comprising distinctive facial, limb and genital anomalies, and mental retardation. Most patients with a clinical diagnosis of RSH/SLOS have a defect of cholesterol biosynthesis at the level of 3beta-hydroxyst... |
10070249 | Current estimates indicate that 60 million people are at risk of infection with human African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, with about 300,000 new cases each year. However, less than 4 million people are under surveillance and only 10% of new cases are diagnosed and treated. This report of a WHO Expert Committe... |
10071427 | BACKGROUND:
The prevalence of varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection has been poorly studied in Latin America. The aim of this work was to study the seroprevalence of antibody to VZV infection in Mexico. Infection was determined in 3,737 individuals.
METHODS:
Samples were collected during a national serologic survey p... |
10072150 | Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest reported cholera incidence and mortality rates in the world. In 1997, a cholera epidemic occurred in western Kenya. Between June 1997 and March 1998, 14,275 cholera admissions to hospitals in Nyanza Province in western Kenya were reported. There were 547 deaths (case fatality rate = 4... |
10073903 | Different origins for trisomy 15 mosaicism confined to the placenta have been suggested. We have analysed the data on trisomy 15 mosaicism in EUCROMIC. Trisomy 15 mosaicism or non-mosaic feto-placental discrepancy on CVS was registered in 0.027 per cent of samples karyotyped (34/126 465): 28/34 had confined placental m... |
10074012 | OBJECTIVE:
To test the hypothesis that non-diabetic dizygotic and monozygotic twin siblings of patients with type 1 diabetes have a similar high prevalence of islet cell autoantibodies, thus suggesting that islet cell autoimmunity is mainly environmentally determined.
DESIGN:
Prospective twin study.
SETTING:
Two spec... |
10074505 | From May to December 1997, 18 cases of mild to severe respiratory illness caused by avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses were identified in Hong Kong. The emergence of an avian virus in the human population prompted an epidemiological investigation to determine the extent of human-to-human transmission of the virus and ris... |
10075229 | OBJECTIVE:
To establish the association between the use of contraceptives and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and other reproductive tract infections (RTI).
METHODS:
840 women who used contraception and who attended the Fundação Nossa Senhora do Bom Sucesso's Family Planning Clinic (FNSBS-FPC) ov... |
10075231 | HIV infection was recognized as a new sexually transmitted disease (STD) at the beginning of the last decade. The knowledge of risk factors for sexual transmission of HIV changed the focus on STD to a broader perspective for prevention and control of HIV infection, and consequently of STD. Barriers to STD control inclu... |
10075317 | Celiac disease is a permanent intolerance to ingested gluten that results in immunologically mediated inflammatory damage to the small-intestinal mucosa. Celiac disease is associated with both human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and non-HLA genes and with other immune disorders, notably juvenile diabetes and thyroid disease.... |
10077151 | Several polymorphic glutathione S-transferase enzymes are involved in the detoxification of active metabolites of many potential carcinogens from tobacco smoke and may therefore be important in modulating susceptibility to smoking-related cancers. As part of a hospital-based case-control study performed in France among... |
