Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers An Atlas Illustrating HIV in Dermatology
Book SynopsisThe incidence of HIV is increasing across the globe. The disease manifests itself through various skin disorders and it is important for a clinician to fully understand examination of the skin for diagnosis of HIV and also for staging classification. This book is a concise guide to the dermatological appearance of HIV. Divided into nine chapters, it begins with discussion on the disease and its epidemiology. The following chapters cover different dermatological disorders and their relationship with HIV/AIDS. The final chapter examines drug reactions. Each chapter is presented in an easy to read format with high quality clinical photographs and a brief overview of the related dermatological disorders. Key points Practical, concise guide to dermatological appearance of HIV Separate chapter on drug reactions Easy to read format Includes 237 full colour clinical photographs and illustrations Table of Contents Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS Human Immunodeficiency Virus Mucocutaneous Infections in HIV/AIDS Sexually Transmitted Infections in HIV/AIDS Non-infectious Dermatosis in HIV/AIDS Oral Cavity Dermatology in Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Drug Reactions

Lannoo Publishers Invisible Lives: HIV on the Fringes of Society
Book SynopsisWith the exception of Africa, the highest percentage of HIV infections are found in high-risk groups such as drugs users, prostitutes, the transgender community, gay men, street children or prisoners. They encounter more stigmatisation and discrimination than other groups, which makes it harder for aid to reach them. Writer Colet van der Ven and photographer Adriaan Backer travelled around the world to give these people a voice: women in patriarchal Tadzhikistan, victims of political violence in Kenya, black homosexuals in the deeply religious southern states of America, transgenders in India, (ex-)prisoners in South Africa and drug users in Myanmar. They also interviewed a representative of the first generation of AIDS patients in the Netherlands and a female refugee in the Ukraine.

KIT Publishers HIV & Culture Confluence: Cross-Cultural
Book SynopsisIn April 2010, Southern Africa HIV/AIDS Information Dissemination Service (SAfAIDS) organised a forum to share experiences on implementing interventions to address HIV and AIDS, sexuality, gender and education. The conference sought to provide a platform for sharing good practices and examining the role of culture in HIV and AIDS prevention and mitigation among participants working in training, home-based care, education, advocacy, lobbying and information production and dissemination, among others. The book is one of the avenues through which key conference outcomes are being shared. It targets professionals involved in an array of projects or programmes in the areas of HIV and AIDS, sexual and reproductive health, gender and education mainly working with NGOs, faith-based organisations (FBOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs). It is also aimed at policy makers and programme managers in governmental institutions, international NGOs (INGOs), UN agencies, media personnel, researchers and teachers. The objective of the book is to empower these target readers with skills to improve the way they implement their programmes.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Deterministic And Stochastic Models Of Aids
Book SynopsisWith contributions from an international team of leading researchers, the book pulls together updated research results in the area of HIV/AIDS modeling to provide readers with the latest information in the field. Topics covered include: AIDS epidemic models; vaccine models; models for HIV/cell dynamics and interactions; cellular kinetics; viral dynamics with antiviral treatments; modeling of drug resistance and quasispecies.Extensive deterministic models, statistical models, stochastic models and state space models on treating AIDS patients with anti-retroviral drugs are provided, as well as an in-depth discussion of these models. The book also contains updated reviews on mathematical models for assessing effects of AIDS vaccines, statistical methods for analyzing clinical trial data on AIDS vaccines, and overviews of models and statistical methods for assessing drug resistance of HIV to anti-retroviral drugs. Some important statistical methods specific to the intervention and prevention of HIV epidemic are also discussed.This will be a useful reference source for graduate students and researchers in biomathematics and biostatistics, as well as for HIV/AIDS epidemiologists and clinical investigators learning quantitative methods to study AIDS epidemics and HIV infection.Table of ContentsAIDS Epidemic Models; Vaccine Models; Models for HIV/Cell Dynamics and Interactions; Cellular Kinetics; Viral Dynamics with Antiviral Treatments; Modeling Drug Resistance and Quasispecies; Modeling HIV Genetics.

Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd Drug Delivery and Development of Anti-HIV
Book SynopsisThe worldwide impact of HIV/AIDS is well recognized. This book provides for the first time a thorough and critical overview of current aspects, recent developments, and trends in the formulation and drug delivery concerning anti-HIV microbicides by leading scientists in the field. Additionally, pertinent regulatory aspects and socioeconomical issues related to the subject are discussed. In the absence of a cure, prophylaxis represents a cornerstone in the battle against infection. One promising strategy comprises the use around the time of sexual intercourse of vaginal/rectal products containing antiviral compounds, termed microbicides. It is now recognized that specific development of drug dosage forms and/or drug delivery systems is an indispensable aspect for the success of microbicides. Different groups strived over the last decade to optimize the biophysical and technological performance of traditional dosage forms (gels, tablets, and suppositories) to fulfill the specificities of microbicides use, without neglecting users’ preferences and affordability issues. Moreover, new formulation approaches, such as vaginal rings and films, nanotechnology-based systems, stimuli-sensitive formulations, targeted drug delivery systems, among others have been proposed and are currently undergoing pre-clinical or even clinical testing. Trade Review"HIV prevention requires a multidisciplinary approach, even when focusing on a particular biomedical intervention such as anti-HIV microbicides. This book offers a comprehensive, integrative, and balanced overview on various aspects of microbicides, including mechanisms of transmission, drug development, and clinical and regulatory aspects, with a special emphasis on formulation. It is therefore equally useful for specialized basic, pharmacological, clinical, and biotechnological scientists and will hopefully stimulate future interdisciplinary research for prevention."—Prof. Guido Vanham, Virology Unit, Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium"This treatise offers an insightful analysis on the opportunities that drug delivery technologies can afford in HIV microbicide development. It provides first-of-its-kind comprehensive overview of the challenges in microbicide delivery as well as opportunities to develop novel formulations such as polymeric implants, stimuli-responsive nanotechnology, and strategies to alter the microbiome. It also addresses the issues of socioeconomics, compliance, and regulatory oversight in the development of novel microbicides."—Prof. Mansoor M.
