University Health Network, Toronto General Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 18:1986-92. 2009..HIV-positive men with a history of anal-receptive intercourse are at risk for anal cancer. We determined whether human papilloma virus (HPV) biomarkers were correlated with anal pathology in these men... - Interobserver agreement in the interpretation of anal intraepithelial neoplasiaAlice Lytwyn
Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Cancer 103:1447-56. 2005..76 to 0.94 for biopsy specimens. CONCLUSIONS: Agreement for cytologic and biopsy interpretations was generally at least moderate. Nevertheless, these results supported the need for disease indicators with greater reliability... - Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in HIV infection associated with altered hepatic fatty acid compositionBianca M Arendt
University Health Network, Dept of Medicine, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Curr HIV Res 9:128-35. 2011..Changes may be due to impaired FA metabolism or suboptimal n-3 PUFA intake. The potential role of n-3 PUFA (e.g. fish oil) to treat or prevent HIV/NAFLD warrants further investigation... - Cost-effectiveness of screening for anal precancers in HIV-positive menJonathan M C Lam
University of Toronto, Toronto General Hospital, Canada
AIDS 25:635-42. 2011..To assess the cost-effectiveness of high-resolution anoscopy (HRA), anal cytology, and anal human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in screening for histologic high-grade anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN 2/3) in HIV-positive MSM... - In patients with HIV-infection, chromium supplementation improves insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities: a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trialElaheh Aghdassi
