TL;DR: In this article, the effect of high selenium yeast supplementation (200 μg/d) was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial and the intention-to-treat analyses assessed the effect on HIV-1 viral load and CD4 count after 9 months of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oriel Spierer,Elizabeth R. Felix,Allison L. McClellan,Jean-Marie A. Parel,Alex Gonzalez,William J. Feuer,Constantine D. Sarantopoulos,Roy C. Levitt,Klaus Ehrmann,Anat Galor +9 more
TL;DR: Mechanical detection and pain thresholds measured on the cornea are correlated with dry eye symptoms and ocular pain, which suggests hypersensitivity within the corneal somatosensory pathways in patients with greater dry eye and Ocular pain complaints.
Suppression of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Viral Load With Selenium Supplementation
Barry E. Hurwitz,Johanna R. Klaus,Maria M. Llabre,Alex Gonzalez,Peter J. Lawrence,Kevin Maher,Jeffrey M. Greeson,Marianna K Baum,Gail Shor-Posner,Jay S. Skyler,Neil Schneiderman +10 more
TL;DR: Daily selenium supplementation can suppress the progression of HIV-1 viral burden and provide indirect improvement of CD4 count and the results support the use of Selenium as a simple, inexpensive, and safe adjunct therapy in HIV spectrum disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ABCs of Trait Anger, Psychological Distress, and Disease Severity in HIV
Roger C. McIntosh,Barry E. Hurwitz,Michael H. Antoni,Alex Gonzalez,Julia Seay,Neil Schneiderman +5 more
TL;DR: A second-order factor model supports a role for the ABC components of anger, which may negatively influence immune function through various psychosocial mechanisms; however, longitudinal study is needed to elucidate these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
