To extend the understanding of host genetic determinants of HIV-1 control, we performed a genome-wide association study in a cohort of 2,554 infected Caucasian subjects. The study was powered to detect common genetic variants explaining down to 1.3% of the variability in viral load at set point. We provide overwhelming confirmation of three associations previously reported in a genome-wide study and show further independent effects of both common and rare variants in the Major Histocompatibility Complex region (MHC). We also examined the polymorphisms reported in previous candidate gene studies and fail to support a role for any variant outside of …

Descriptive Analysis Of Level Of Implementation In Allied Health Educational Institutions Of Iom Recommended Core Competencies, James D. Blagg
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
A signal report of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2003 stated that profound changes were needed in how health systems are designed, and postulated that such redesign could not take place without properly preparing health care professionals to take on this task. It established a set of core competencies (competence in patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teaming, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics) that future professionals should possess. The current study was conducted to determine the extent to which these core competencies have been incorporated into curricula by colleges/schools of allied health. A survey was e-mailed to 112 institutional representatives of …

Angiotensin Modulation Of Rostral Ventrolateral Medulla (Rvlm) In Cardiovascular Regulation, Erick A. Bourassa, Alan F. Sved, Robert C. Speth
HPD Articles
The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) and the presympathetic bulbospinal neurons in this region play a critical role in cardiovascular regulation. However, there is ambiguity regarding the precise anatomical coordinates of the RVLM and much still needs to be learned regarding the regulation and neurochemistry of this region. This brief review discusses some of these issues and focuses on the role of angiotensin-mediated signaling in the RVLM in blood pressure regulation.
