In Vitro Assay to Evaluate the Impact of Immunoregulatory Pathways on HIV-specific CD4 T Cell Effector Function
Published on: October 15, 2013
Abstract:
This article is intended as an introduction to some of the issues which arise from the increasing incidence in the UK of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is not possible fully to address, nor offer answers to, all of these issues. HIV and AIDS present many challenges to nurses. It tests not only our skills and methods of practice, but confronts our feelings about people whose lifestyles and behaviours may be different from our own (Lert & Marne 1992; McGrath et al 1993); it has also prompted us to alter our awareness and knowledge of medical, nursing and infection control issues. Hopefully this article will serve to stimulate reflection, thought and discussion as well as generating further, more specific papers of relevance to the Accident and Emergency nurse.

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
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.
Mode of...
Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-III
Acute Respiratory Failure-V
Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...
