Kaposis sarcoma in a Nairobi hospital.
BACKGROUND Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is associated epidemiologically with HIV infection and a number of countries have reported a dramatic increase in the incidence of KS with the advent of AIDS. Although AIDS is prevalent in Kenya, no studies on the impact of AIDS on the pattern of KS has been carried out. OBJECTIVE To determine any changes in the pattern of KS that might have occurred since the...
متن کاملAIDS-Related Kaposi’s sarcoma and Associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) associated with AIDS (AIDS-KS) is the most prevalent neoplasia among patients with AIDS. Its incidence has decreased dramatically in recent years due to the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Paradoxically, in relation to the introduction of HAART it may occur a worsening or development of AIDS-KS despite the improvement of the immune function....
متن کاملVEGF polymorphisms are associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness in the elderly. Linkage has been shown to the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene and ocular levels of VEGF are raised in individuals with the neovascular form of disease. To examine the role of VEGF further, we conducted a case-control study where 45 individuals with neovascular AMD and 94 age-matched contr...
متن کاملPolymorphisms Associated with Asthma Are Inversely Related to Glioblastoma Multiforme
While searching for a recent article on asthma genetics, I came across the study by Schwartzbaum et al. (1). As the article carried a bold title I read on, but was somewhat disappointed by the content. Three years ago, asthma had already been associated with 64 genes, and 33 of these associations had been successfully replicated (ref. 2; these figures are at probably doubled now). The reasons t...
متن کاملPolymorphisms associated with asthma are inversely related to glioblastoma multiforme.
A reduced risk of primary malignant adult brain tumors is observed among people reporting asthma, hay fever, and other allergic conditions; however, findings may be attributed to prediagnostic effects of tumors or recall bias. To determine whether asthma and allergic condition polymorphisms are inversely related to glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) risk, we conducted a population-based case-control...
