A third of China's 1·3 billion people still live on US$2 a day or less, making the country home to one of the world's largest impoverished populations. Poverty is a powerful facilitator of chronic as well as infectious diseases, and is undoubtedly a major contributor to the 1·3 million premature deaths from increased blood pressure estimated by Jiang He and colleagues, in The Lancet today, to occur in China each year. These investigators followed up a cohort of nearly 170 000 Chinese adults for almost 10 yea...

Finally, how many people died of HIV/AIDS in 2007? Even though HIV has captivated public discourse and funding, including over $5·1 billion in development assistance for health in 2007 alone, there are only rough estimates of its disease burden.

The TPB is applicable to students' care delivery intentions in the context of HIV and AIDS across the two SSA countries investigated.

Abstract: A self-administered network-based questionnaire survey was conducted on 91 HIV-positive Chinese men having sex with men (MSM). Affiliation matrices were created to assess their networking pattern. The individuals’ preferential use of venues for sex partnership before HIV infection has changed over three time periods of 1997–2000, 2001–2003 and 2004–2006. Over time, there was a parallel increase in network density (density scores from 0.26, through 0.36, to 0.53) and degree centrality (from a median score of 9, through 12, to 16), suggesting that connectivity of MSM was becoming higher through sexual netwo...

We describe a 70 year old male with stage IV chronic lymphocytic leukemia complicated by aplastic anemia. Neurological examination and imaging revealed no significant abnormalities. At autopsy, the brain revealed multifocal cysts and free tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii with diffuse microglial nodules and no necrosis. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first report of the "encephalitic" form of toxoplasmosis in a non-AIDS patient.
