Our results are in agreement with those of Dr Gascon: in fact we have treated 10 children, aged 2-14 years with symptomatic Giurdiu infection, with mebendazole at a dosane of 200 ma 3 times daily for 5 d: in no case were we able-to observe a resolution of the symptomatology and/or the disappearance of parasites from stool epecimens. Therefore we have discarded this form of therapy and continue to use tinidazole, which has been proved efficacious at a single dose of 50 mg/kg.

Research paper thumbnail of HIV infection and neoplasia

HIV infection predisposes to several neoplastic conditions, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)... more HIV infection predisposes to several neoplastic conditions, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), and also intraepithelial cervical neoplasia (CIN) and anal neoplasia (AIN) (but not cervical or anal invasive cancer) and possibly seminoma. For neoplasias associated with oncogenic human viruses (ie, some NHL, CIN, AIN, and probably KS) the role of HIV is most probably linked to its immunosuppressive effect and interference with immune-mediated tumour surveillance. HIV-1, through its regulatory protein tat, might also have a direct promoting effect on KS lesions but it is not essential for their development. The increased frequency of Burkitt's lymphoma and Epstein-Barr-virus-negative large-cell lymphoma in AIDS patients, but not in immunosuppressed transplant patients, and the increased rate of testicular tumours in HIV-infected individuals remain unexplained and may indicate either a direct role for HIV or other cofactors.

Resting-state eyes-closed EEG data were recorded in 18 naïve HIV subjects (15 males; mean age 39 years±2.0 standard error of mean, SEM) and in 18 age-matched cognitively normal subjects (15 males; 38.7years±2.2 SEM). EEG rhythms of interest were delta (2-4Hz), theta (4-8Hz), alpha1 (8-10Hz), alpha2 (10-12Hz), beta1 (13-20Hz) and beta2 (20-30Hz). Cortical EEG sources were estimated by normalised, low-resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA). Mini Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) score was lower in HIV (26.5 ± 0.7 SEM) than in healthy (29.2 ± 0.5 SEM) subjects (p<0.05). Central and parietal delta sources showed higher amplitude in the HIV than in control subjects. Furthermore, topographically widespread, cortical sources of resting-state alpha rhythms were lower in amplitude in HIV subjects than in control subjects. The present results suggest that topography and frequency of the cortical sources of resting-state EEG rhythms can distinguish groups of HIV and control subjects. These results encourage future studies in an enlarged cohort of HIV subjects to test the hypothesis that the present methodological approach provides clinically useful information for an early detection of the effect of HIV infection on brain and cognitive functions.

Research paper thumbnail of Parietal Intrahemispheric Source Connectivity of Resting-State Electroencephalographic Alpha Rhythms is Abnormal in Naïve Hiv Patients

Brain Research Bulletin, 2022

Previous evidence showed abnormal parietal sources of resting-state electroencephalographic (EEG)... more Previous evidence showed abnormal parietal sources of resting-state electroencephalographic (EEG) delta (< 4Hz) and alpha (8-12Hz) rhythms in treatment-Naïve HIV (Naïve HIV) subjects, as cortical neural synchronization markers in quiet wakefulness. Here, we tested the hypothesis that these local abnormalities may be related to functional cortical dysconnectivity as an oscillatory brain network disorder. The present EEG database regarded 128 Naïve HIV and 60 Healthy subjects. The eLORETA freeware estimated lagged linear EEG source connectivity (LLC). The area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve indexed the accuracy in the classification between Healthy and HIV individuals. Parietal intrahemispheric LLC solutions in alpha sources were abnormally lower in the Naïve HIV than in the control group. Furthermore, those abnormalities were greater in the Naïve HIV subgroup with executive and visuospatial deficits than the Naïve HIV subgroup with normal cognition. AUROC curves of those LLC solutions exhibited moderate/good accuracies (0.75-0.88) in the discrimination between the Naïve HIV individuals with executive and visuospatial deficits vs. Naïve HIV individuals with normal cognition and control individuals. In quiet wakefulness, Naïve HIV subjects showed clinically relevant abnormalities in parietal alpha source connectivity. HIV may alter a parietal "hub" oscillating at the alpha frequency in quiet wakefulness as a brain network disorder.
