Toxicological Profiling and Safety Assessment of NASAT 2.0: A Conceptual Framework for Adaptive Nanoparticle Therapy in Rabies
Abstract: Rabies, caused by the highly neurotropic Rabies lyssavirus, remains one of the most enigmatic and universally lethal infectious diseases known to modern medicine. Once clinical symptoms manifest following successful neuroinvasion, the fatality rate approaches absolute certainty (approximately 99.9%), a staggering statistic that has remained largely unchallenged despite massive, concurrent advances in modern virology, critical care medicine, and cellular immunology. Current late-stage therapeutic protocols, most notably the widely debated Milwaukee Protocol, …

Assessment of Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy Among Art Users in Jimma University Specialized Hospital, Jimma Zone, Oromia Region, South West Ethiopia
Abstract: Background: HIV-associated morbidity and mortality gets substantially reduced with antiretroviral therapy (ART). Antiretroviral treatment efficacy exhibits significant inhibition of viral replication as well as viral load resulting in significant decrease in viral particles to a level where it becomes undetectable in the blood of HIV infected individuals. But, antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires high-level (>95%) adherence and adherence to antiretroviral therapy has been correlated strongly with HIV viral suppression, reduced rates …
