...they are the lucky ones. Along with 68 other patients, they are part of a treatment program that Ho established in Kunming. There they will get the latest antiretroviral medications and the same careful monitoring that AIDS patients in the U.S. receive, including regular measurements of their viral loads and their immune-cell counts and tests to determine how quickly the virus is mutating to resist the drugs...
...past two years, Ho has retreated from his vaccine agenda and set up the pilot drug-treatment program in Kunming. Using funding from both ADARC and private donors, he has also built a clinic, set up a virology lab capable of performing basic viral-load tests and put together a state-of-the-art immunology lab?all of which will eventually absorb the testing required for the future vaccine studies...
...visions of striking it rich overseas and like all Indians is, of course, an absolute genius with computers. Unfortunately, Mehta finds that he has arrived in America during an economic downturn and jobs are scarce. He finally lands a posting at Virugenix, a company that protects businesses from viral attacks, only to be laid off for no fault of his own. That's when he decides he'll win his job back (and simultaneously declare his affection for Zahir) by releasing a computer virus bearing her image. Like a pyromaniac who starts fires so he can be the hero...
Knowing the symptoms of heat-related problems is helpful whether you're evaluating yourself or an older person--especially one who might have dementia. Fever is a telltale sign, but you won't necessarily want to pop an aspirin to bring it under control. A viral fever and a body overheating work differently, and aspirin won't help a heat-related fever. With older charges, look for changes in behavior, like refusing fluids, decreased urination, hyperactivity or lethargy. A tongue that's dryer than usual or skin that's more leathery looking can also signify heat problems. Gentle rehydration...
FDCs are also preferable from a therapeutic perspective. Where brand names drugs require patients to adhere to a complicated regime of six pills per day, FDCs allow for a simplified regime of two pills per day. This increases rates of adherence which in turn reduces the risk of viral mutation and the emergence of drug-resistant strains...
