However long term use of HAART on oral health status of HIV infected subjects is poorly documented. Also antifungal agents can effectively treat mucosal candidiasis.

[The role of the blood viscosity and hematocrit value in acute stroke. Experimental considerations].

The link between blood viscosity, Ht and the onset of stroke is highlighted and reports in the literature are examined. On this basic, the paper proposes an experimental model of cerebral ischaemia in the rabbit as providing a better insight into this aspect which may be highly significant, particularly in the prevention of strokes.
