Evolution of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance and viral subtypes circulation in Italy from 2006 to 2016

2018

Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the evolution of transmitted HIV-1 drug resistance (TDR) prevalence in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve patients from 2006 to 2016. Methods: HIV-1 sequences were retrieved from the Antiviral Response Cohort Analysis (ARCA) database and TDR was defined as detection of at least one mutation from the World Health Organization (WHO) surveillance list. Results: We included protease/reverse transcriptase sequences from 3573 patients; 455 had also integrase sequences. Overall, 68.1% of the patients were Italian, the median CD4 count was 348 cells/μL [interquartile range (IQR) 169–521 cells/μL], and the median viral load was 4.7 log 10 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (IQR …

Combined therapy with insulin and rGH in thirteen Italian patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and growth disorders.

2012

Background: Combined GH and insulin therapy are rarely prescribed in pediatric pts because the association of GHD and T1DM is rare and maybe for the difficulties in managing a double therapy with opposite effects on glucose metabolism. Objective and hypotheses: To investigate on the attitude of pediatric endo-diabetologists in treating these pts. Methods: Data were collected from over 50 centres belonging to the ISPED. The inclusion criterion was based on the double therapy for at least 6 months with insulin due to T1DM, and rGH, due to growth impairment. Results: Most centres stated that the use of combined therapy was considered uncomfortable and frequently avoided, whereas 10 centres rep…
