HIV-associated neurologic disease incidence changes: Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, 1990–1998

TLDR
The proportion of new cases of HIV dementia with a CD4 count in a higher range since 1996 may be increasing, and the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may be responsible.
Abstract
This study examined the temporal trends in the incidence rates of HIV dementia, cryptococcal meningitis, toxoplasmosis, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, and CNS lymphoma from January 1990 to December 1998 in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study. The incidence rates for HIV dementia, cryptococcal meningitis, and lymphoma decreased following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The proportion of new cases of HIV dementia with a CD4 count in a higher range (i.e., 201 to 350) since 1996 may be increasing.

Update on neuroimaging in infectious central nervous system disease.

TL;DR: This review summarizes progress in the neuroimaging of infectious central nervous system disease since January 2003 and focuses on imaging of viral encephalitis, including that caused by exotic and emerging viruses, and on imaging in immunodeficient patients.

HIV-TAT protein upregulates expression of multidrug resistance protein 1 in the blood-brain barrier.

TL;DR: Results indicate that Tat exposure can lead to alterations of the BBB functions and decrease HAART efficacy in the CNS through overexpression of drug efflux transporters.

Novel markers of oxidative stress in actively progressive HIV dementia.

TL;DR: Data is described showing increased levels of these oxidative stress markers in HIV encephalitis, which may be useful for distinguishing between different clinical phenotypes of HIV dementia.

Treatment Benefit on Cerebrospinal Fluid HIV-1 Levels in the Setting of Systemic Virological Suppression and Failure

TL;DR: In this cohort, antiretroviral therapy had a greater effect on HIV-1 RNA levels in CSF than in plasma and reduced intrathecal inflammation, even in the presence of drug resistance.

Evolving paradigms in the pathogenesis of HIV-1-associated dementia.

TL;DR: Mechanisms for neuronal injury and apoptosis, including the role of virus, viral and host proteins, oxidative stress and products of infected or uninfected activated microglia and astrocytes, are explored.

The multicenter aids cohort study: rationale, organization, and selected characteristics of the participants

TL;DR: The Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study was designed to elucidate the natural history of the infection causing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), identify risk factors for occurrence and clinical expression of the virus, and establish a repository of biologic specimens for future study.

Effectiveness of Potent Antiretroviral Therapy on Time to AIDS and Death in Men With Known HIV Infection Duration

TL;DR: In the calendar period when potent antiretroviral therapy was introduced, the time to development of AIDS and time to death were extended, and rate of CD4 cell count decline was arrested.

Changing incidence of AIDS-defining illnesses in the era of antiretroviral combination therapy.

TL;DR: The incidence of AIDS-defining events in patients with advanced HIV infection at Frankfurt University Hospital has declined by more than 70% from 1992 to 1996, with a trend for malignancies and single opportunistic infections, with the exception of mycobacterial diseases.
