Objectives
Initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) causes loss of bone mineral density (BMD) over the first 1–2 years. Whether this loss continues with longer therapy is unclear. We determined changes in bone and spine BMD over 5 years in adults receiving immediate or deferred initial ART.
Methods
In the Strategic Timing of Antiretroviral Therapy (START) BMD substudy, ART‐naïve adults with CD4 counts...
ObjectivesHIV infection is associated with a higher prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures than that found in the general population. There are limited data in HIV‐positive adults, naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART), with which to estimate the relative contribution of untreated HIV infection to bone loss.
MethodsThe primary objective of the Strategic Timing of AntiRetroviral...
ObjectivesWe describe neuropsychological test performance (NP) in antiretroviral treatment (ART)‐naïve HIV‐positive individuals with CD4 cell counts above 500 cells/μL.
MethodsIn a neurology substudy of the International Network for Strategic Initiatives in Global HIV Trials (INSIGHT) Strategic Timing of AntiRetroviral Treatment (START) study, eight neurocognitive tests were administered. The primary...
Surge arresters are a vital component for network safety. At Medium voltage networks (Vm ≤ 52kV), dry type pluggable surge arresters are known and widely used. This solution has now been taken to the next voltage level, Vm = 72.5kV. This paper discusses the general function, application in GIS and transformers, as well as testing.
Separable connecting systems are the next progression in connection systems and are replacing conventional connection methods. The primary advantage provided by separable connecting systems is the flexibility separating components allows for testing of electrical equipment after manufacturing as well as on-site, and the relocation of assembly work to the factory Separable connecting systems are making...
