This paper proposes a Time Delay nonlinear dynamic model of HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1), introducing the drug consumption efficiencies as the controlling input for the model. The paper also represents the fuzzy T-S representation and the corresponding Fuzzy T-S controller. The controller parameters are tuned using LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities). The main focus is on the stabi...

Background: Hemophilia A and B are the most frequent congenital coagulation disorders. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of hepatitis B, C and human immunodeficiency viruses among hemophilic patients in Hamadan, Iran. Patients and Methods: In this study, patients with hemophilia A and B treated in Hamedan Hemophilia Center, Hamedan, Iran, were screened for hepatitis B, C and...

We report here that the tat gene product of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 was able to protect iymphoblastoid (Jurkat), epithelial (293) and neuronal (PC12) cell lines from apoptotic death induced by serum withdrawal. The rescue from apoptosis by Tat was reflected by an increased expression of Bci-2 protein in tat-positive Jurkat cells with respect to mock-transfected Jurkat cells after 3-...

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with uncertain etiology. for many years, viruses have been suspected as causative agents. there are conflicting reports about the possible role of viruses such as human herpes virus 8 (hhv8) and retroviruses in the pathogenesis of the sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. we conducted a prospective case-control study to ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is most notable for its role in directly infecting and killing CD4 T cells the immune system, which can lead to acquisition of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Currently, there are no cures HIV-1, leaving 37 million people with HIV-1 infections definitive treatment. Researchers working towards developing long-term treatments using CRISPR-Cas...
