Abstract:
A routine evaluation of lipid metabolism and body fat distribution along with a careful cardiovascular risk stratification according to international guidelines are required for HIV-infected patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy. Intervention includes evaluation of patients for both epidemiological and clinical factors, and for anthropometric and biochemical parameters. Diet counseling, prescription of antihyperlipidemic drugs and exercise training are the cornerstones of programs devoted to protecting patients from side effects of therapies that compromise quality of life and the functions of organs like the pancreas and heart that are involved in lipid disorders.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
