PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Both HIV infection and preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy-specific disorder of hypertension and multi-system organ involvement, have high prevalence rates especially in low-to-middle-income countries. The immunoexpression of specific...

BACKGROUND: There are significant drug-drug interactions between human immunodeficiency virus antiretroviral therapy and intranasal steroids, leading to high serum concentrations of iatrogenic steroids and subsequently Cushing’s syndrome. METHOD: All articles...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: It is postulated that molecular methods along with mathematical modeling can provide critical inference regarding epidemiological parameters, transmission dynamics, spatiotemporal characteristics, and intervention efficacy. Hence, studying molecular...
