Liver fibrosis in HIV-positive patients with hepatitis C virus
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted by comparing the clinical and histological features of persistently normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values (PNAL) to explore the liver fibrosis present in HIV-infected patients with hepatitis C virus. The results focused on the ill effects and lever diseases caused because of the ALT treatment, which is otherwise supposed to be very effective for HIV-infected patients.

Loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue in HIV-Associated lipodystrophy is not due to accelerated apoptosis
Article Abstract:
A study is done to examine the rate of apoptosis in subcutaneous adipose tissue with a sensitive ligase-mediated polymerase chain reaction technique to amplify DNA ladders. The result showed that there is no difference in the frequency of individuals with apoptosis among those with HIV lipodystrophy, those with HIV but no lipodystrophy and subjects without HIV disease.
