Pain is an important clinical issue with great impact on society and individuals' well being. It is well established that sensory abnormalities induced by tissue trauma and inflammation are clinically important in various ...
Immunological and virologica response to antiretroviral treatment (art) in patients infected with different HIV-1 genetic subtypes
(2006-02-17)
due to IL-71Ralpha down-regulation.
Paper III. We investigated the short-term virological outcome of ART in relation to HIV-1 genetic subtypes. A group of ART naive patients were prospectively enrolled and followed for 6 months when starting ART...
