Do hIV-1 subtype distribution and its demographic determinants in newly diagnosed patients in Europe suggest highly compartmentalized epidemics?
The association of subtype with demographic parameters suggests highly compartmentalized epidemics, determined by social and behavioural characteristics of the patients.
Acid burns caused severe asymmetry and functional impairment. The FFII is a composite score of global function based on a reproducible method of data collection and it differentiated between acid burn victims and provided objective comparative measures. Software automation, integration of video and 3D data, appropriate graphical and pictorial depiction of variables and measurements, and further research into the accuracy of FFII as a marker of clinical recovery and assessment of function in facial burns, will enhance future clinical applications and potentially aid surgical reconstruction.
