Clinical review: ABC of AIDS. Treatment of infections
In those who are severely immunosuppressed, the treatment
and prophylaxis of opportunistic infections remains
important. This article, an adaptation of the 5th
edition of the "ABC of AIDS," covers the management
of opportunistic infections such as Pneumocystis carinii
pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, cryptosporidiosis, as well
as various viral, bacterial, and fungal infections
in those with AIDS.
Women of the World: Laws and Policies Affecting Their
Reproductive Lives (Anglophone Africa)
Reproductive rights are internationally recognized
as critical both to advancing women's human rights
and to promoting development. Governments from all
over the world have, in recent years, both acknowledged
and pledged to advance reproductive rights to an unprecedented
degree. But for governments, non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), and concerned advocates to work towards reforming
laws and policies so as to implement the mandates
of these international conferences, they must be informed
about the current state of national level formal laws
and policies affecting reproductive rights. This book
on Anglophone Africa is the product of a unique series
of collaborative reports between the U.S.-based Center
for Reproductive Law and Policy and national-level
NGOs around the world. Countries surveyed include
Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania,
and Zimbabwe.
