BACKGROUND HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) is often managed without routine laboratory monitoring in Africa; however, the effect of this approach is unknown. This trial investigated whether routine toxicity and efficacy monitoring of HIV-infected patients receiving ART had an important long-term effect on clinical outcomes in Africa. METHODS In this open, non-inferiority trial in three centr...

Let S = {x1,x2, . . . ,xn} be a set of positive integers, and let f be an arithmetical function. The matrices (S) f = [ f (gcd(xi,xj))] and [S] f = [ f (lcm[xi,xj])] are referred to as the greatest common divisor (GCD) and the least common multiple (LCM) matrices on S with respect to f , respectively. In this paper, we assume that the elements of the matrices (S) f and [S] f are integers and st...

Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) is an innovative technique which permits the rapid and reliable procurement of pure cell populations from heterogeneous tissue sections. After LCM, RNA isolated from pure cell populations was amplified to generate adequate amounts of antisense RNA (aRNA) for hybridization, and the differential gene expression profiles were analyzed between two experimental gr...

BACKGROUND Heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) are heterogenous, and our ability to identify patients likely to respond to therapy is limited. We present a method of identifying disease subtypes using high-dimensional clinical phenotyping and latent class analysis that may be useful in personalizing prognosis and treatment in HFREF. METHODS A total of 1121 patients w...

BACKGROUND Brivaracetam (BRV), eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL), lacosamide (LCM), and perampanel (PER) have been recently marketed as adjunctive treatments for focal onset seizures. To date, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has directly compared BRV with ESL, LCM, or PER. PURPOSE To compare BRV with the other add-on AEDs in patients with uncontrolled focal epilepsy, estimating their efficac...
