概括

传统补充和替代医学 (TCAM) 的使用在艾滋病毒感染者 (PLHIV) 中普遍存在. 这项研究发现TCAM使用与人口或健康因素之间没有联系,这表明需要进一步研究.

科学领域:

公共卫生公共卫生
传染性疾病传染性疾病
药理学药理学是一个学科.

背景情况:

传统补充和替代医学 (TCAM) 的使用在全球范围内不断增加,包括艾滋病毒感染者 (PLHIV).
使用TCAM可能会影响对抗逆转录病毒药物的坚持,可能导致健康结果较差.
了解影响PLHIV中TCAM使用的因素对于综合护理至关重要.

研究的目的:

确定使用抗逆转录病毒药物的PLHIV中TCAM的流行率.
检查与TCAM使用相关的社会人口统计学和健康相关因素.
为医疗保健提供者和政策制定者提供关于TCAM在艾滋病毒管理中的使用的信息.

主要方法:

在加纳的一家成人艾滋病毒诊所对420名PLHIV进行了横截面研究.
数据采集使用标准化问卷和患者病历审查.
使用多变量逻辑回归分析来确定相关因素.

主要成果:

在PLHIV中使用TCAM的流行率为25.2%.
在TCAM使用与社会人口统计学因素 (如性别,地点) 之间没有发现显著的关联.
在TCAM使用和艾滋病毒相关的健康因素 (如诊断或治疗的持续时间) 之间没有发现显著的关联.

结论:

在这种情况下,TCAM的使用在PLHIV中很常见.
社会人口统计学和与健康相关的因素似乎没有影响TCAM在这个人群中的使用.
建议进行定性研究,以探索PLHIV中TCAM使用的根本原因.

Retrovirus Life Cycles

Retrovirus Life Cycles

Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
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.

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...
