Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive dysfunction in HIV patients despite long-standing suppression of viremia.
Samanta Simioni,Matthias Cavassini,Jean-Marie Annoni,Aline Rimbault Abraham,Isabelle Bourquin,Veronique Schiffer,Alexandra Calmy,Jean Philippe Chave,Ezio Giacobini,Bernard Hirschel,Renaud Du Pasquier +10 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of HANDs without functional repercussion in daily life (asymptomatic neurocognitive impairment) is the most frequent subtype observed in this population, and the HIV dementia scale with a cutoff of 14 points or less seems to provide a useful tool to screen for the presence of Handeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Related to HIV Infection: Improved Hemodynamics and Survival Associated with Antiretroviral Therapy
Jean-Philippe Zuber,Alexandra Calmy,John M. Evison,Barbara Hasse,Veronique Schiffer,Thomas Wagels,Reto Nüesch,Lorenzo Magenta,Bruno Ledergerber,Rolf Jenni,Rudolf Speich,Milos Opravil +11 more
TL;DR: A beneficial effect of combination ART in patients with PAHRH is suggested, as HAART significantly decreased mortality due to PA HRH as well as other causes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of compartment penetration in PI-monotherapy: the Atazanavir-Ritonavir Monomaintenance (ATARITMO) Trial.
Pietro Vernazza,Synove Daneel,Veronique Schiffer,Laurent A. Decosterd,Walter Fierz,Thomas Klimkait,Matthias Hoffmann,Bernard Hirschel +7 more
TL;DR: The results in CSF cautions against the uncontrolled use of PI-based monotherapies, but supports previous results indicating the potential use ofPI-based mono-maintenance therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipodystrophy and weight changes: data from the Swiss HIV Cohort Study, 2000-2006
A. Nguyen,Alexandra Calmy,Veronique Schiffer,Enos Bernasconi,Manuel Battegay,Milos Opravil,J Evison,Philip E. Tarr,Patrick Schmid,Thomas V. Perneger,B. Hirschel +10 more
TL;DR: The frequency of lipodystrophy and weight changes in relation to the use of specific drugs in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS) are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salvage therapy with abacavir plus a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and a protease inhibitor in heavily pre-treated HIV-1 infected patients
Nina Khanna,Thomas Klimkait,Veronique Schiffer,Jose Irigoyen,Amalio Telenti,Bernard Hirschel,Manuel Battegay +6 more
TL;DR: Salvage therapy in intensively pre-treated patients has a low virological success rate despite usage of abacavir and NNRTI, and the need for new compounds is stressed.
