Reconstruction And Future Trends Of The Aids Epidemic In The United States, Ron Brookmeyer Nov 1991

Reconstruction And Future Trends Of The Aids Epidemic In The United States, Ron Brookmeyer

Ron Brookmeyer

There has been considerable uncertainty in estimates of past and current human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection rates in the United States. Statistical estimates of historical infection rates can be obtained from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) incidence data and the incubation period. However, this approach is subject to a number of sources of uncertainty and two other approaches, epidemic models of HIV transmission and surveys of HIV prevalence, are used to corroborate and refine the statistical estimates. Analyses suggest the HIV infection rate in the United States grew rapidly in the early 1980s, peaked in the mid-1980s, and subsequently declined markedly. …

Interphotoreceptor Retinoid-Binding Protein (Irbp) In Progressive Rod-Cone Degeneration (Prcd)—Biochemical, Immunocytochemical And Immunologic Studies, Gustavo Aguirre, Barbara Wiggert, Geetha Kutty, Kenneth Long, Lila Inouye, Igal Gery, Gerald Chader

Gustavo D. Aguirre, VMD, PhD

Interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) is synthesized and secreted by photoreceptor cells and is thought to facilitate the transport of retinoids during the visual cycle as well as fatty acids essential to the maintenance of normal outer segment membranes. Proteins such as IRBP, which are unique to the photoreceptor cells in the retina, are prime candidates in the consideration of biochemical defects which could contribute to photoreceptor cell degeneration in man and animals. In this study, the association between IRBP and retinal degeneration was examined using the progressive rod-cone degeneration (prcd) mutant retina in dogs as an animal model.
