An American research team reported that it has possibly cured HIV in a woman for the first time, A group of scientists presented some of the details of the new case on Tuesday at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Denver, Colorado.She is believed to be the third person ever to be cured of the disease.According to scientists, she was cured using a new transplant method involving umbilical cord blood that opens up the possibility of curing more people of diverse racial backgounds than was previously possible.Cord blood is more widely available than the adult stem cells typically used in bone marrow transplants, and does not need to be matched as closely to the recipient, the Times reported.“The fact that she's mixed race, and that she's a woman, that is really important scientifically and really important in terms of the community impact,” said Dr. Steven Deeks, an AIDS expert at the University of California, San Francisco who was not involved in the work.
A friend from twitter approached me several months ago with this painful personal story about a close, lifelong friend whose life takes a very dark and destructive turn after becoming redpilled in 2017.CONTENT WARNING:This episode recounts trauma and traumatic events -- including death by suicide -- and is not presented for prurient interest. What I hope you can take away from this is two people working through to a slightly better understanding of what certain types of conflict and trauma have in common and how we deal with it. Finally: this story involves QAnon, but what you will quickly learn is that my take here is that Q/MAGA/whatever is incidental to what ultimately happens in this particular instance. There are much more qualified and experienced people covering this beat and I reference them often. Listeners curious about these tops should reference the QAA podcast, researchers like Mike Rothschild, Mark Andre Argentino, and journalists and researchers like Will Sommer and Jared Holt.Support the show (HTTPS://www.Patreon.com/Nicepilled )

Dolores de cabeza, hinchazón después de comer, alergias, dermatitis atópica, esos kilos de más de los que es imposible deshacerse... Quizás te suenen algunos de estos problemas, pero ¿sabías que todos ellos pueden estar relacionados con un desequilibrio de la microbiota? Los descubrimientos sobre la microbiota constituyen una de las mayores revoluciones de la historia de la ciencia y la medicina. Los microorganismos están en todas partes: desde el ojo de un huracán hasta la pantalla del móvil. Son los responsables de cómo nos sienta la comida, cómo luce nuestra piel e incluso cómo funciona nuestra memoria. Para comprender mejor el papel vital que estos microorganismos desempeñan en nuestra salud y nuestras vidas, el programa de hoy cuenta con una verdadera experta en el tema, Sari Arponen, Doctora en Medicina por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (número de colegiado 282856021), socia de la Sociedad Española de Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica, de GESIDA, y de la Sociedad Española de Medicina Interna, además de miembro de la European Network of Young HIV Experts. Por otro lado, ha recibido el Premio al Joven Investigador concedido para la asistencia al CROI 2008 (15th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections), y fue elegida “Mejor Médico del Año 2010” (premio compartido) en el Hospital Infanta Leonor, Madrid. Tras casi veinte años de experiencia clínica en la sanidad pública española, en la actualidad se dedica a la formación y divulgación en el ámbito de la microbiota y la medicina del estilo de vida. También pasa consulta aplicando un enfoque basado en la medicina evolutiva y sus conocimientos sobre la microbiota.

LSHTM Audio News Review - September 12th, 2007 A supplement to LSHTM Audio News reviewing this year's important medical developments. Road-Side Tranexamic Acid Therapy to Reduce Mortality and Blood Transfusions after Trauma? The multi-national CRASH trial investigates whether the antifibrinolytic agent, tranexamic acid normally used to reduce bleeding during surgery can also be used as a first-aid to cut mortality and the need of blood transfusion immediately after trauma. Jaime Miranda, based in Lima, Peru, described to Peter Goodwin how the trial could benefit the developing world in particular. Growth Hormones: Slimming Aid for Patients Receiving HAART? Daily administration of the growth hormone releasing factor, TH9507, to patients with HIV receiving Highly Active Anti Retroviral Therapy (HAART) can help to reduce cardiovascular risk factors, according to Steven Grinspoon, who presented a paper on this at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, held in Los Angeles. He talked about his study with Dan Keller, who discussed the paper with Judith Currier. Raltegravir Doubled Antiviral Response Rates in Treatment-Experienced HIV-Infected Patients The integrase inhibitor raltegravir (one of a new class of anti-retroviral agents) blocks enzymes that allow HIV's nuclei acid to integrate into the DNA of host cells. The BENCHMRK study found that patients with HIV who are resistant to at least one drug in each of the nucleoside, non-nucleoside, and protease inhibitor classes, have doubled antiviral response rates and increased CD4 cells when taking raltegravir. Roy Steigbigel explained the study to Dan Keller in Los Angeles. John Mellors commented on the findings. Non-Perfect HIV Vaccine: Major Benefits There is good hope that a useful vaccine for HIV will be developed soon. Anthony Fauci wrote in the New England Journal Medicine (and explained to Derek Thorne for Audio News) that although a perfect vaccine may not emerge, a non-perfect vaccine will nevertheless be of great use, by slowing disease progression and also reducing the spread of disease.
How do you make heads or tails of an HIV medical conference with 1,000 presentations? Surely the 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections -- better known as CROI -- is a gold mine of critical studies on every facet of HIV, from prevention to treatment to quality of life. We've covered this conference extensively on our site, but for people with nonmedical backgrounds, this coverage may be difficult to put into context. That's why, for our March edition of "This Month in HIV," we've interviewed two experts who can break down the conference highlights for people who aren't experts. Physician and researcher Joel Gallant, and HIV-positive activist Nelson Vergel, tell us about the breaking research that really mattered at CROI this year.
Audio Journal of Global Health Issues 6 Months Exclusive Breast Feeding for Mothers with HIV Lowers Transmission Rates REFERENCE: Abstract 13, 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Los Angeles February 25-28, 2007 HOOSEN COOVADIA, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban In the developing world breastfeeding is the recommended infant feeding method, even for women infected with HIV. While early cessation of breastfeeding reduces HIV transmission to the baby, studies have shown that it increases morbidity and mortality in the infants. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life appears to reduce HIV transmission, as opposed to “mixed” breastfeeding with supplementation with formula or solid foods. Dan Keller spoke with Hoosen Coovadia, who delivered a plenary talk on the subject at the14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Los Angeles.
Audio Journal of Global Health Issues Maraviroc: New Antiretroviral Drug Shows Efficacy and Safety REFERENCE: Abstract Number: 104aLB, 104bLB, 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Los Angeles February 25-28, 2007 HOWARD MAYER, Pfizer Global Research, New London CT MARK WAINBERG, McGill University, Montreal In a population of treatment-experienced HIV-infected subjects, maraviroc plus optimised background antiretroviral therapy provided significantly superior virologic control and increases in CD4 cell counts compared with placebo plus optimized background therapy. There were no clinically relevant differences in the safety profiles between the maraviroc and the placebo treatment groups. These drugs do not attack the virus itself but rather block host cells’ CCR5 cell surface cytokine receptors that HIV interacts with to gain entry into the cell.
Audio Journal of Global Health Issues Integrase Inhibitor Raltegravir Doubles Antiviral Response Rate in Treatment Experienced HIV-Infected Patients Compared to Optimised Background Therapy Alone REFERENCE: Abstract 105aLB, 105bLB, 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Los Angeles February 25-28, 2007 ROY STEIGBIGEL, State University of New York at Stony Brook JOHN W. MELLORS, University of Pittsburgh Raltegravir doubled the antiviral response rate and the increase in CD4 cells among treatment-experienced HIV-infected patients who were resistant to at least one drug in each of the nucleoside, non-nucleoside, and protease inhibitor classes. Two placebo controlled trials (BENCHMRK-1 and BENCHMRK-2) randomized a total of almost 700 subjects to either raltegravir 400 mg twice daily or to placebo, each on a background of optimized antiviral background therapy. Raltegravir is an integrase inhibitor and acts to block the enzyme that allows HIV’s nuclei acid to integrate into the DNA of host cells.
Audio Journal of Global Health Issues Entecavir Shows Activity Against HIV But Also Selects for an Antiretroviral Drug Resistance Mutation REFERENCE: Abstract: 136LB, 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Los Angeles February 25-29, 2007 CHLOE THIO, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Entecavir, used to treat hepatitis B virus infections, can lower levels of HIV in co-infected patients but also selects for a mutation that makes HIV resistant to entecavir as well as the antiretroviral drugs lamivudine and emtracitabine. These findings, derived from three case reports and associated laboratory studies, have important implications for the treatment of HBV in HIV-infected patients. Current guidelines, issued in October 2006 and which recommend entecavir as a first-line treatment of HBV in co-infected individuals who do not require anti-HIV therapy, need to be reconsidered. Chloe Thio discussed her study results and their implications with Dan Keller at the 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Los Angeles.
Audio Journal of Global Health Issues Growth Hormone Releasing Factor Analog: Slimming Aid for Patients Receiving HAART? REFERENCE: 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Los Angeles February 25-29, 2007 STEVEN GRINSPOON, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston COMMENT: JUDITH CURRIER, University of California, Los Angeles Daily administration of an analog of growth hormone releasing factor to HIV patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy significantly decreased visceral fat and improved their lipid profiles. This development-stage drug, TH9507, was well tolerated and may help patients reduce central fat accumulation and abnormal lipid profiles, both of which are know cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, decreases in central fat may have a positive effect on patients' self-image. Steven Grinspoon gave Dan Keller details during the 14th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Los Angeles.
Hello this is Dr. Eric Daar calling from Denver, Colorado from the 13th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections or CROI 2006. Last day of conference (February 8th). It has been an extremely exciting day with some very important presentations in the area of complications of antiretroviral therapy and new treatments. The first presentation was from the CDC describing the experience in Uganda in over a thousand individuals started on antiretroviral therapy for the first time. There has been a major rollout of therapy in the developing world and this one with another report, were one of the largest to describe the tolerability of such therapy. This looked at over 1,000 individuals from 2003-2004 started on standard first line regimen in the developing world.
Hello this is Dr. Eric Daar calling from Denver, Colorado from the 13th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections or CROI 2006. Update on meeting on second full day (February 7th). There were actually a series of world presentations all dealing with the related topic of treatment interruptions. Recently, a great deal of attention came to this area with the announcement of the data safety monitoring board closing one of these very important studies that was presented as a late breaker. The study was called SMART. It was a study through the CPCRA and the strategy was to determine whether you could take individuals with greater than 350 T cells and randomly assign them to either continue on their current therapy or interrupt their treatment with the plan of them restarting therapy if their CD4 count should drop to less than 250.
Hello this is Dr. Eric Daar calling from Denver, Colorado from the 13th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections or CROI 2006. This meeting opened with a Plenary session and keynote lecture on Sunday, February 5th. The keynote was presented by Dr. James Kern on 25 years of the HIV pandemic, where he described his experience at the CDC in the first reported cases of AIDS in 1981 in Los Angeles. He emphasized the many advances in the following years as well as the obstacles overcome and the obstacles that are left to be overcome both with prevention, the development of vaccine, and the potential hope for eradication
