Methods: We used identical 40-question multiple choice pre-training and post-training assessments to determine the short-term transfer of knowledge of international HIV military physicians attending the MIHTP.

Results: Findings revealed a statistically significant increase in short-term transfer of knowledge of HIV prevention, care, and treatment in a population of international military physicians, nurses, and auxiliary medical personnel from 47 developing countries (n=136). Trainees had significantly higher post-test scores (67.9%) compared with pre-test scores (50.5%, p<0.001). Trainees showed a similar level of HIV knowledge as assessed by pre-training evaluations (F=1.38).

Conclusion: We found significant increases in acquired individual knowledge after a 4-week HIV training program. Results of this study are important as many developing countries rely heavily on international training programs to aid in the development of health care systems in an ever-changing infrastructure.

The functional annotation of these characterized target proteins can uncover varieties of biochemical pathways important for the survival and pathogenesis of bacteria. This review focuses on the current protocols available for identification and functional annotations of these uncharacterized potential therapeutic targets.]]> <![CDATA[Interrelated Roles for the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor and Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in the Immune Response to Infection]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/63202 <![CDATA[ Von Hippel-Lindau Disease]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/7182 <![CDATA[ HIV-1 Infection: Recent Developments in Treatment and Current Management Strategies]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/12162 <![CDATA[ Hemangiomas, Angiosarcomas, and Vascular Malformations Represent the Signaling Abnormalities of Pathogenic Angiogenesis]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/15329 <![CDATA[ CXCR4-CXCL12-Dependent Inflammatory Network and Endothelial Progenitors]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/17157 <![CDATA[Anti-Angiogenic Therapies for Children with Cancer]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/17757 <![CDATA[ DNA Microarrays - An Armory for Combating Infectious Diseases in the New Century]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/21988 <![CDATA[ The Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease (SSGCID)]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/29917 <![CDATA[ The Role of a Human Hematopoietic Mesenchymal Progenitor in Wound Healing and Fibrotic Diseases and Implications for Therapy]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/30153 <![CDATA[ Anti-Angiogenic Therapy as a Cancer Treatment Paradigm]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/35555 <![CDATA[ AIDS-Related Kaposis Sarcoma: State of the Art and Therapeutic Strategies]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/38595 <![CDATA[ Critical Questions for Preclinical Trials on Safety and Efficacy of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Based Therapeutic Angiogenesis for Ischemic Stroke]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/39288 <![CDATA[ Vertebral Lesions from AIDS-Related Kaposi's Sarcoma]]>https://www.eurekaselect.comarticle/39549

Case Presentation: A 44 year-old HIV positive Nigerian man presented with a 20 day history of severe, worsening lumbar back pain, nearly three years after an earlier diagnosis of a single cutaneous lesion consistent with Kaposi's sarcoma, for which he received chemo-radiotherapy. Despite varying previous compliance with his anti-retroviral therapy, he was thought to be taking his medications at time of presentation and his CD4 count was 408 cells/mm3. No other organ involvement was found but a pathological fracture was seen on magnetic resonance imaging affecting L1 vertebra. A CTguided needle aspiration biopsy was performed and a histological diagnosis subsequently confirmed Kaposi's sarcoma. The patient was treated with further courses of radiotherapy but had little clinical improvement. Indeed, a follow-up MRI four months later showed new involvement of a further four vertebrae, fortunately in the absence of progressive focal neurology.

Conclusion: Vertebral Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare diagnosis but can be accurately diagnosed with CT or MRI imaging in conjunction with a histological diagnosis. An immunosuppressed patient presenting with bone pain should be thoroughly investigated for Kaposi's sarcoma as modern chemotherapeutic agents alongside anti-retroviral therapy may delay or prevent further devastating complications such as spinal cord compression. ]]>
