Download or read book Immunology of HIV Infection written by Gr. Bird and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now 10 years since the first AIDS cases were reported in the USA. In that relatively short period of time, study of the disease has moved from the level of early clinical description to exhaustive and extensive laboratory characterization of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the immune responses directed towards it and reasons for their failure. This volume provides contributions from clinical and basic scientists who are actively involved in research in a number of areas of current interest and controversy. Further progress in the clinical management of the HIV-infected patient will undoubtedly build on the basic knowledge about HIV and its modes of pathogenesis. The intimate relationship between HIV and the human immune system provides observations and questions that are relevant to viral immunopathogenesis in general. In the first chapter the clinical features of HIV immunodeficiency are re viewed, and aspects of its changing face are discussed. Dr Tersmette then presents evidence for changing viral characteristics at different stages of the disease. This view of close competition for ascendancy between HIV and the host immune response raises questions about current approaches to therapy.
Download or read book Economic Aspects of AIDS and HIV Infection written by Detlef Schwefel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the early days of its recognized occurrence, AIDS has been per ceived as posing tremendous threats, burdens and challenges to human beings. Individuals, societies and, in a global point of view, mankind are affected by the effects of the HN infection, the nature and extent of which is still unclear in many ways. In the beginning only biomedical and epidemiological analyses of the problem were the top research priori ties, the former laden with great hopes that it may soon be possible to stop the spread of the disease and to overcome its physical impact. Yet it soon became clear that AIDS would be something to be reckoned and coped with on a long-term basis, making a thorough investigation of its impact absolutely mandatory. AIDS has serious economic consequences. Taken seriously, they can not be confined to predictions of costs intended to support the AIDS issue in the struggle for resources. Besides cost calculations - a method ologically tricky and wide-ranging topic in itself -and their application to cost-effectiveness and other analyses, economic issues include identify ing and assessing patterns of care, analyzing problems of financing, exploring impacts on markets other than health care, and modelling scenarios for future developments and strategies. At present, the eco nomic aspects of AIDS still constitute a very recent topic in European health economics and health systems research. Many projects are just about to start, and there must be a better exchange of information between research groups.
Download or read book Health and Health Care as Social Problems written by Peter Conrad and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2003-09-09 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging and accessible reader takes a social problems approach to health and medicine, providing a broad and critical lens on contemporary health problems. Designed for courses on social problems and on medical sociology, the volume embraces two fundamental principles: that health and illness are at least partly socially produced, and that health care is not an unfettered good and often brings with it serious social problems. The volume is organized into six sections, addressing the medicalization of human problems; the social construction of health problems; social movements; gender; race and class and the provision of health care; and medical accountability. Taken together, the essays demonstrate the depth and richness of a social problems approach to health and medicine, and the critical perspective it brings to our understanding of health and illness in U.S. society.

Book excerpt: The AIDS Pandemic explores the ways in which HIV/AIDS has, and continues to transform the wide range of related disciplines it touches. Novel perspectives are provided by a unique panel of internationally recognised experts who cover the unprecedented impact onf AIDS on culture, demographics and politics around the world, including how it affected the worlds' economy, health sciences, epidemiology and public health. This important far- reaching analysis uses the lessons learned from a wide array of disciplines to help us understand the current status and evolution of the pandemic, as it continues to evolve.* Unique and timely presentation of new theories and perspectives* Concentrates on the changes that have taken place in a broad array of related disciplines* Provides key contextual information, for those new to the field or at interface areas between disciplines* Includes an international focus on evolving African and Asian experiences* Focuses on the current strategies for developing vaccines and microbicides* Outlines harm reduction and prevention programs* Explores issues related to delivery of life-saving AIDS medications in resource-constrained environments

Download or read book HIV The Edinburgh Epidemic written by Ray Brettle and published by Ray Brettle. This book was released on 2024-01-21 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original description of AIDS or the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome only appeared in 1981 but it rapidly burst forth onto the world scene. By 1985 when a test for HIV, the cause of AIDS, appeared it was realised that a vast silent epidemic had occurred which is still not under control. It also became apparent that the natural history of HIV was slow by comparison to most infections with a median time from infection to AIDS of around 10 years. Consequently as a new infection to medicine, HIV and AIDS required further study. This thesis has detailed the establishment of an effective HIV medical service in Edinburgh largely composed of injection drug users, the natural history of IDU related HIV, the clinical presentations to date, the effectiveness of the service and lastly the factors predicting heterosexual transmission. This thesis describes the history of Injection Drug Use or IDU and its associated infections including IDU related HIV and the epidemic in Edinburgh. In addition it also describes the clinical services established, the natural history of the disease and heterosexual transmission
Download or read book Assessing AIDS Prevention written by PACCAUD and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most countries, primary prevention programmes against the HIV / AIDS epidemic have been implemented. Broadly speaking, three levels of intervention can be identified: - national campaigns directed to the general population; most of them are multi phase campaigns aimed at providing information about HIV transmission and protective behaviour; they use the various mass media channels and are mainly directed to sexual behaviour modifi cation; - community-based interventions, addressed to specific target popula tions; these populations have been typically selected according to both the high risk of infection (gay men and prostitutes) and the difficulty to reach the members of these communities (intravenous drug users); - individual testing and counselling, often supported by public funds or large non-governmental organizations. Major efforts have been devoted to the development and the implemen tation of these preventive programmes, both in terms of human re sources and financial support. On the other hand, in most countries, far less energy has been put into the evaluation of these campaigns. This gap is not explained by the fact that evaluation of AIDS/HIV cam paigns is a totally new challenge in terms of methodology: there are classical methods, developed over twenty years and used in other fields of prevention.
