OBJECTIVE Several pieces of evidence indicate that HIV-infected adults undergo premature aging. The effect of HIV and antiretroviral therapy (ART) exposure on the aging process of HIV-infected children may be more deleterious since their immune system coevolves from birth with HIV. DESIGN Seventy-one HIV-infected (HIV+), 65 HIV-exposed-uninfected (HEU), and 56 HIV-unexposed-uninfected (HUU) c...

A s my year as president of SNMMI gets underway, a continuing focus for nuclear medicine is development of a reliable, domestic supply of radioisotopes. 99mTc remains the most commonly used radioisotope worldwide— used in 20–40 million diagnostic procedures each year. Shortages of 99Mo (the parent of 99mTc), resulting from reliance in recent years on aging reactors, have led to major efforts ar...

The R-Team{machine (RM) is a software architecture for symmetric multi-client hardware. RM concepts are a mixture of classical blackboard systems and network operating systems. The system is designed in particular for the modeling and implementation of concurrent iterative heu-ristics. We use the JANUS motor controller as an example to show how the RM can be applied to control a system of many ...

In unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications, the UAV's limited energy supply and storage have triggered development of intelligent energy-conserving scheduling solutions. this paper, we investigate minimization for UAV-aided communication networks by jointly optimizing data-transmission UAV hovering time. The formulated problem is combinatorial non-convex with bilinear constraints. To tackle ...

Background: The evaluation of seroprotection rates against vaccine-preventable infectious diseases allows for the identification risk populations. HIV-exposed infants, even if not infected with HIV, have higher morbidity and mortality in comparison to unexposed counterparts. aim this study was compare specific IgG levels Haemophilus influenzae type-B (HiB), Hepatitis-B (HBV), Streptococcus pneu...

In this study, we have investigated the mechanisms used by wild-type p53 (wtp53) to potentiate tumor cell susceptibility to CTL-mediated cell death. We report that wtp53 restoration in a human lung carcinoma cell line Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR)-Heu, displaying a mutated p53, resulted in up-regulation of Fas/CD95 receptor expression associated with an increase of tumor cell sensitivity to the...
