Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of 2,3-diaryl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones
2002
Several 1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones bearing a 2,6-dihalophenyl group at C-2 and a variously substituted phenyl ring at N-3 have been synthesized and tested as anti-HIV agents. The results of the in vitro tests showed that some of them proved to be effective inhibitors of HIV-1 replication.
Serum Malondialdehyde Correlates with Therapeutic Efficiency of High Activity Antiretroviral Therapies (HAART) in HIV-1 Infected Children
2002
Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) levels are increased in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children, as it happens also in infected adult individuals. Introduction of high activity antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has promoted an intense decline in morbidity and mortality of these patients. Here we present data on the effect of HAART on serum MDA of HIV+ children and compare them with levels prior to HAART. MDA levels reflect, as other markers do, the HAART-induced clinical improvement and probably also the pro-oxidant/antioxidant side effects of the different drugs used. The results herein allow the proposal of including serum MDA levels as an additional parameter for the clinical manag…
World Influence of Infectious Diseases from Wikipedia Network Analysis
2019
AbstractWe consider the network of 5 416 537 articles of English Wikipedia extracted in 2017. Using the recent reduced Google matrix (REGOMAX) method we construct the reduced network of 230 articles (nodes) of infectious diseases and 195 articles of world countries. This method generates the reduced directed network between all 425 nodes taking into account all direct and indirect links with pathways via the huge global network. PageRank and CheiRank algorithms are used to determine the most influential diseases with the top PageRank diseases being Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and Malaria. From the reduced Google matrix we determine the sensitivity of world countries to specific diseases integrat…
Molecular Classification of N-Aryloxazolidinone-5-carboxamides as Human Immunodeficiency Virus Protease Inhibitors
2015
Algorithms for classification and taxonomy are proposed in this chapter based information entropy (IE) and its production. The 38 N- aryloxazolidinone-5-carboxamides (NCAs), for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease (PR) inhibition, are classified using seven characteristic chemical properties of different moieties: R 1/2 , R 3–6 on different phenyls and R 7 . Many classification algorithms are based on IE. When applying some procedures to moderate-sized sets, excessive number of results appear compatible with the data and suffer combinatorial explosion. However, after the equipartition conjecture (EC), one has a selection criterion among different variants that results from classifi…
Table of periodic properties of human immunodeficiency virus inhibitors
2010
Classification algorithms are proposed based on information entropy. The feasibility of mixing a given human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) inhibitor with dissimilar ones is studied. The 31 inhibitors are classified by their structural chemical properties. Many classification algorithms are based on information entropy. An excessive number of results appear compatible with the data and suffer combinatorial explosion. However, after the equipartition conjecture one has a selection criterion. According to this conjecture, the best configuration is that in which entropy production is most uniformly distributed. The structural elements of an inhibitor can be ranked according to their inhibitory a…
La criminalización de la transmisión de VIH en los medios: periodismo de sucesos entre el sensacionalismo y la homofobia = Criminalization of HIV tra…
2019
Resumen: Introduccion : La informacion periodistica actual aborda mayoritariamente el VIH como una epidemia de caracter global y ha abandonado el discurso de los grupos de riesgo que vinculo al virus con la comunidad gay. En los ultimos anos, el VIH ha sido objeto de atencion mediatica por la judicializacion de la transmision deliberada del virus. Objetivos : Este trabajo analiza la cobertura periodistica en torno a dos hombres europeos juzgados en 2017: el escoces Daryll Rowe, condenado a cadena perpetua por tratar de infectar con VIH a 10 hombres, y el italiano Valentino Talluto, sentenciado por transmitir el virus a 32 mujeres. El estudio busca identificar las caracteristicas dominantes …
Sexual Compulsivity Scale: Adaptation and Validation in the Spanish Population
2013
Sexual compulsivity has been studied in relation to high-risk behavior for sexually transmitted infections. The aim of this study was the adaptation and validation of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale to a sample of Spanish young people. This scale was applied to 1,196 (891 female, 305 male) Spanish college students. The results of principal components factor analysis using a varimax rotation indicated a two-factor solution. The reliability of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale was found to be high. Moreover, the scale showed good temporal stability. External correlates were examined through Pearson correlations between the Sexual Compulsivity Scale and other constructs related with HIV prevention. …
Política de la supervivencia / Politics of Survival
2017
Resumen: Distintas intervenciones desde prácticas activistas y culturales en torno al VIH escenifican poéticas y políticas del resto corporal en las que se juegan, por un lado, una reorganización de los modos en que se dramatiza en umbral entre lo vivo y lo muerto en lo público –redefiniendo así el tejido mismo de lo que llamamos “comunidad”—; y por otro, indican los modos en que estos activismos impulsan una disputa sobre los “marcos de temporalización” desde los cuales lo viviente se vuelve reconocible políticamente y donde la noción de supervivencia adquiere una centralidad decisiva. Combinando materiales heterogéneos el artículo busca iluminar los modos en que los activismos y las cultu…
Marta Dillon y Joaquín Hurtado : crónicas de la enfermedad crónica. / Marta Dillon and Joaquín Hurtado: chronicles of a chronic disease
2017
Resumen: A través de la lectura de las crónicas sobre el VIH/sida de Marta Dillon y Joaquín Hurtado, analizo cómo estos autores narran la convivencia crónica con el VIH que les impone el aprendizaje de nuevas formas de gestionar la vida y de autorrepresentarse. Estudio las crónicas no solo como estrategias terapéuticas para lidiar con los profundos cambios corporales y emocionales que trae consigo el diagnóstico, sino también como estrategias políticas para incidir en la normalización y percepción social de la enfermedad como entidad crónica. La reescritura del cuerpo, consustancial al devenir crónico de la enfermedad, enfrenta a los autores a cuestionar la improductividad o incapacidad de …
