AIDS and Drug Rationing

Financial shortage in resource-limited and poor countries restricts treatment in HIV-infected patients especially in poor countries. Higher HIV prevalence in poorer countries makes drug rationing a real concern. Different countries solve the problem with different methods regarding WHO guidelines, but fairness and equity should be a major consideration in drug rationing. This paper is aimed at ...

hiv epidemic in iran is in the focused stage and still less than 70 thousand hiv positive people are recognized. given that there are more than 2000 private and governmental addiction treatment centers in iran covering more than half a million patients, there is a great potential for these centers to recognize hiv positive cases of iran, in case of précised planning. current article tried to ev...

Crash development of AIDS test nears goal.

Impending development of a blood test for AIDS has paved the way for an epidemiological study by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Blood samples from 200,000 presumably healthy donors will soon be drawn and stored, to be screened when the test becomes available. Donors and recipients of blood which tests AIDS-positive will then be followed to see if AIDS develops. The study raise...

Neutron crystallography aids in drug design

Since drugs bind to their targets through directional H bonding and non-directional hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, neutron crystallography can help guide structure-based drug design. This is illustrated by McKenna and co-workers [Aggarwal et al. (2016), IUCrJ, 3, 319-325] who describe the room-temperature neutron structure of human carbonic anyhydrase II in complex with the clinica...
