SAIN Resources about VirusesA virus is a noncellular biological entity that can reproduce only within a host cell. Viruses consist of nucleic acid covered by protein; some animal viruses are also surrounded by membrane. Inside the infected cell, the virus uses the synthetic capability of the host to produce progeny virus. There are 87 resources available. 1.

AIDS Knowledge Base: Section 5.2 - Wasting Resource Identifier: http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/InSite.jsp?page=kb-04&doc;=kb-04-01-08 Cataloging Node: CSA Creator: University of California, San Francisco Subject: atrophy, human immunodeficiency virus, diseases, immune deficiency diseases, pharmaceuticals, nutrition, nutrients, food consumption, body weight, body composition, appetite, anthropometry, steroids, survival, mortality Uncontrolled Keywords: atrophy; anorexia; hypogonadism; gastrointestinal tract diseases; cytokines; nutrient status; parenteral nutrition; thalidomide; pentoxifylline;ketotifen; physical training; fish oils, dronabinol, bioimpedance, oral supplementation, nonvolitional feeding, enteral feeding, appetite stimulants, megestrol acetate, protein anabolic agents, recombinant human growth hormone, acute wasting, growth hormones, cytokine modulation Description: Wasting continues to contribute to increased mortality and morbidity in patients with HIV infection, even in populations with access to effective ART. Thus, it remains important to monitor weight, minimize the impact of disease factors that can contribute to wasting, and intervene to mitigate or reverse weight loss when necessary. Maintenance of adequate food intake is essential in this effort, and dietary measures should be the foundation upon which other interventions are built. Patients should be encouraged to maintain or increase activity levels and to engage in moderate resistance exercise training when possible. A variety of pharmacologic measures including appetite stimulation and the use of protein anabolic therapies have been shown to be effective in promoting weight gain and lean tissue accrual. Such interventions have been demonstrated to improve functional capacity and quality of life, although further research is required to determine whether reversal of wasting improves survival.
