Journal ArticleDOI
Factors determining pulmonary deposition of aerosolized pentamidine in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection.
TL;DR: The nebulizer was an important determinant of aerosol delivery, with the AeroTech delivering between 2.5 and 5 times more drug than the Respirgard, and did not correlate with any measured lung parameter, including breathing pattern and PFT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wasting in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome is associated with multiple defects in the serum insulin‐like growth factor system
TL;DR: The aim of this investigation was to characterize the GH–IGF axis of patients with AIDS associated wasting by determining whether IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) of patients who have lost more than 10% of their ideal body mass are structurally different from the IGFBPs of Patients with no weight loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disseminated sporotrichosis in patients with AIDS: case report and review of the literature.
Howard M. Heller,Jack Fuhrer +1 more
TL;DR: A case of a patient with AIDS who had disseminated sporotrichosis which was progressive and fatal despite antifungal therapy is reported, suggesting chronic suppressive therapy is probably needed to prevent relapse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responsiveness of muscle protein synthesis to growth hormone administration in HIV-infected individuals declines with severity of disease
Margaret A. McNurlan,Peter J. Garlick,Roy T. Steigbigel,Kim A. DeCristofaro,Robert A. Frost,Charles H. Lang,Richard W. Johnson,Anita M. Santasier,Corazon J. Cabahug,Jack Fuhrer,Marie C. Gelato +10 more
TL;DR: The results indicate increased basal muscle protein degradation and decreased responsiveness of muscle protein synthesis to GH in the later stages of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing conditions and treatments in a dynamic cohort of ambulatory HIV patients: the HIV outpatient study (HOPS).
Anne C. Moorman,Scott D. Holmberg,Steven I. Marlowe,Jennifer C. Von Bargen,Bienvenido G. Yangco,Frank J. Palella,Douglas J. Ward,Mark O. Loveless,Jack Fuhrer,Patrick Joseph,William A. Alexander,Diane J. Aschman +11 more
TL;DR: A nested analysis showed that HIV-infected cigarette smokers were at substantially greater risk of pneumonia than nonsmokers, and the HOPS provides continually updated information on the changing characteristics, conditions, and therapy of ambulatory HIV- infected patients.
