The investigators plan to conduct a two arm study, to compare failure rates in the central nervous system (CNS) and genital compartment in virologically fully suppressed patients continuing a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) versus patients switching to ritonavir boosted lopinavir (Kaletra®) HIV-monotherapy. The study is composed of two phases of 48 weeks duration.
In addition, neuropsychological tests (Color trial test A 1 and 2; Grooved pegboard; EWIA Digit Symbol form) and evaluation of side effects will be performed.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Lopinavir-Monotherapy Drug: HAART
|Phase 4
In the first phase (phase A), ritonavir-boosted lopinavir (Kaletra®) will be compared with continued HAART. In the second year (phase B) patients on conventional HAART are also offered LPV/r monotherapy to extend the longterm experience of this new strategy.
Only patients willing to give a genital secretion and a spinal fluid sample will be included. All patients must be on a fully suppressive HAART with at least 2 consecutive values of HIV-RNA at the screening visit . After performance of lumbar puncture at baseline, patients will be randomized to continued HAART or LPV/r monotherapy. During the first year of randomized treatment patients will be followed at week 6/ 12 /18 /24 /32 /40 and 48. Lumbar puncture and genital secretion sampling will be repeated at week 48.
Follow up during the second phase (B: W48-96) of the study will be identical to phase A including genital and spinal sampling at week 96. After study termination at week 96, patients may opt to continue monotherapy if results of HIV-RNA in blood and CSF support this decision.
The primary endpoint of the study will be treatment failure in the compartment (CSF and / or genital tract). Since the variability of HIV-RNA determination in CSF and genital secretions is not very well known, a one log increase above the baseline value will be considered as treatment failure in the respective compartment. Only patients who had a complete viral suppression in blood will be considered for compartment evaluation. Patients treated in the monotherapy arm with a CSF HIV-RNA value at week 48 more than 1.0 log10 cp/ml above baseline (= compartment failure) will be switched to a conventional combination treatment. HIV-RNA testing in the genital samples will be performed batchwise at the end of the study.
In addition, patients with a blood treatment failure (two consecutive HIV-RNA detections > 400cp/ml) will be considered as full treatment failures and switched to a rescue regimen at the discretion of the treating physician. For the analysis, these patients will be considered as systemic treatment failure and will not be entered in the analysis of compartmentalized treatment failure. If the rescue strategy was only intensification of adherence and results in full blood viral load re-suppression, the patient will still be maintained in the study and compartment evaluations can be performed at w48 and/or 96, respectively.
The secondary aim of the study is the definition of prognostic markers for compartment failures. Potential risk factors associated with mono-maintenance failure are HIV-DNA load at time of treatment simplification, HIV-RNA at the time of first treatment initiation, duration of HIV-RNA suppression before simplification, history of HIV-RNA blips, presence of detectable HIV-RNA in spinal fluid at the time of treatment simplification, changes of level of c-reactive protein (high sensitive methodology, hsCRP) from baseline as a marker of immune-activation during the maintenance therapy.
If funding allows, we will test for the presence of resistant viruses and compare the presence of genetic polymorphism at baseline. We will also measure parameters of immunoactivation (hsCRP, CD8+, CD38+).
The study is financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss HIV Cohort Study.

On Thursday, Getty Images awarded $80,000 in grants supporting the work of four international photojournalists. Bharat Choudhary, Kosuke Okahara, Paolo Marchetti and Sebastian Liste each received $20,000 prizes and editorial support as winners of the 2012 Getty Grants for Editorial Photography. An additional $20,000 was also pledged to the Chris Hondros Fund in order to further support photojournalism and public awareness initiatives through an award given to Andrea Bruce and Dominic Bracco in June.
Announced at Visa pour l'Image, the annual festival of photojournalism held in Perpignan, France, the grants—first established in 2004—aim to "enable emerging and established photojournalists to pursue projects of personal and editorial merit, focusing attention on significant social and cultural issues."
This year's panel of judges, including Whitney Johnson (Director of Photography, The New Yorker), Jean-Francois Leroy (Director, Visa pour l'Image), Barbara Griffin (Turner Broadcasting Systems), Kira Pollack (Director of Photography, TIME) and photographer Stephanie Sinclair, sorted through 328 story proposals from 60 countries, eventually narrowing in on four projects. According to Aidan Sullivan, Vice President of Assignments at Getty, these four winning projects "deal with a range of compelling and multifaceted issues, from the devastation caused by the Japanese natural disasters to modern day slavery in Brazil."
Bharat Choudhary, an Indian photographer based in London, was recognized for his project, The Silence of Others, which aims to explore the societal and cultural alienation of Muslim youth in France. His project initially began two years ago by examining the 'Islamophobia' of aspects of American and British life. The grant will allow Choudhary to continue his project, delving further into specific triggers inherent to French society.
Four years ago, Paolo Marchetti began FEVER - The Awakening of European Fascism after noticing a resurgence of interest in extreme right-wing politics. The Rome-based photographer has documented the exponential growth of citizens fleeing their own country in the wake of the Arab Spring. Marchetti will expand the project to other European countries with the award funds.
Tokyo-based photographer Kosuke Okahara documented the devastation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant following the earthquake that struck Japan in March 2011. The grant will help Okahara continue Fragments/Fukushima as he investigates the true meaning of the disaster upon the world's populations through images and audio interviews.
Sebastian Liste's project, The Brazilian Far West, explores the inequalities caused by Brazil's slow and gradual abolition of slavery, particularly affecting the plight of peasants. Liste, a Spaniard, plans to create a multimedia map illustrating the origins of Brazilian inequality and violence, utilizing photography, video and first person interviews to draw attention to the effects caused by 4% of Brazil's landowners controlling 80% of the country's arable land.
The Getty Images Grants for Editorial Photography are awarded each year. The projects of past recipients may be viewed here.

Back in 1965, medical staff and coaches at the University of Florida got together to figure out why football players were wilting in the Florida heat. Identifying the reason as a loss of fluids and electrolytes, and depletion of carbohydrates, the group put together a formula to replace those fluids and nutrients lost from exercise....Gatorade was born.
Well, now Sportsnet.ca reports a new breakthrough in re-hydration science and its relation to physical performance...
Pedialyte. Yes, Pedialyte.
Toronto Maple Leafs bruiser Wade Belak reports that the formula for rehydrating toddlers suffering with diarrhea is a fine remedy for high-end athletes, too:
"You get all your electrolytes and it's designed specifically for kids and babies so you know it's good."
But Mr. Belak lets the cat out of the bag that this is hardly a new-found remedy for dehydration....
"You really want to know the truth, why I started drinking Pedialyte? I used to drink it for hangovers."
Now there, dear reader, is a hockey player.
Doug Gilmour has this coaching thing down...Describing the difference between life as a player and that of a coach (well, a "civilian"), the newly minted part time coach for the Leafs' organization observed that:
"When you're playing, you get up in the morning, get dressed, go to the rink, get undressed, get dressed into your equipment, get undressed after practice, then get dressed to go home. Then you get undressed to take an afternoon nap, wake up, get dressed to go back to the rink for the game, get undressed and get dressed in your equipment. After the game, you get undressed, get dressed to go home and then get undressed later to go to bed.
"When you're not playing, you get dressed in the morning and then get undressed at night to go to bed. That's it."Coaches, consider your secret revealed.
Oh, and here is your Day 97 of a Sport Held Hostage moment, courtesy of The Battle of California.

Like newly sprouted spring flowers, hats covered in ribbons and fabulous fl air blossomed in the Entry Garden of Highland Park at the 12th Annual Spring Hat Luncheon, hosted by the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. The Spring Hat Luncheon was held to celebrate the revitalization of Highland Park after five years of renovations. Approximately 670 attendees were treated to cocktails, followed by a luncheon catered by The Duquesne Club. The Spring Hat Luncheon raised $360,000 to benefit Pittsburgh Park System revitalization projects, such as the restoration of the city's four regional parks, plus smaller outside parks. To promote and encourage the green lifestyle, the luncheon utilized eco-friendly techniques, such as printing invitations by wind-power and using recycled paper for menus, programs, and other paper products. "This was really a very special day," says Barb Mendlowitz, who has promoted the Spring Hat Luncheon for all 12 years. "The weather was so beautiful and everyone was able to be outside. It seemed more special than all the others."

John Makely / NBC News
Billy Hague takes a break from cleaning up after Hurricane Sandy at his mother's house in the Ocean Breeze neighborhood of Staten Island, N.Y. on Monday.
By John Makely, NBC News
I've covered a fair number of disasters, but standing next to destroyed buildings with debris piled high, I've never asked anyone, "Are you going to vote in tomorrow's election?" Even with vastly different viewpoints of the two leading presidential candidates and the important issues that they represent, the question almost seems absurd standing in the mud, talking to people who have lost almost everything due to Hurricane Sandy.
Billy Hague took a break from cleaning up his mother's house on Quincy Ave. in the Ocean Breeze neighborhood of Staten Island, where the water reached almost ten feet. "You wander around aimlessly because you don't know what to do next," he said.
In storm-hit areas, some polling places changed on Election Day
Hague, a contractor, said all of his tools were submerged in salt water, so they are now virtually useless. After police chased away looters a couple days ago, he made a big sign warning trespassers, though he adds, "Not that there is anything left to take." Asked about the election, Hague does not care. "People need basics right now, give me a break. It doesn't matter anyway because [New York] is a blue state."
John Makely / NBC News
A sign in front of Billy Hague's home reads 'No Trespass-will be shot.' in the Ocean Breeze neighborhood of Staten Island, New York on Nov. 5.
Around the corner from Hague lives Peter Emelock. A proud resident of the block for thirty-five years, though Emelock says he's a newcomer. "There are people who have been here for eighty years," says Emelock, as he takes a minute from cleaning his modest home. "What are you going to do? You have to rebuild. I'm learning this as I go. I gotta move on."
John Makely / NBC News
Peter Emelock takes a minute from cleaning his modest home in the Ocean Breeze neighborhood of Staten Island, N.Y. on Nov. 5.
He wonders if it might have been better if the house was completely gone. Emelock, his wife and their dogs barely escaped the storm surge as the water rushed in from the beach over Father Capodanno Blvd. "A neighbor called and said, 'You gotta get out' so we had a go bag and barely made it out in time. Next time when they say 'evacuate' we're gone."
Full election coverage from NBC Politics
"I am voting tomorrow. I feel like I should. My polling place is still open but my problem is the gas," says Emelock, as he wonders how much gasoline it will take to drive to the polling station, and if the state could do something more. "This is a Katrina for Staten Island and the East Coast. It took too long for [FEMA] to bite into this."

Pablo Neruda
When I cannot look at your face
I look at your feet.
Your feet of arched bone,
your hard little feet.
I know that they support you,
and that your sweet weight
rises upon them.
Your waist and your breasts,
the doubled purple
of your nipples,
the sockets of your eyes
that have just flown away,
your wide fruit mouth,
your red tresses,
my little tower.
But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.
J. Wolf/Herron/Frank Sinatra
I'm a fool to want you
I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss not mine alone
To share a kiss that Devil has known
Time and time again I said I'd leave you
Time and time again I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again these words I had to say
Take me back, I love you
...I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong I can't get along
Without you
Rodgers & Hart
My funny Valentine
Sweet comic Valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak, are you smart?
But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little Valentine, stay
Each day is Valentine's Day

5th of 7 Pittsburgh prison guards cleared of abuse
Bruce Lowther wants to get his job back at SCI Pittsburgh
A fired Pittsburgh state prison guard has been acquitted of charges he forced an inmate's head into a toilet and flushed it.
Thursday's acquittal of 35-year-old Bruce Lowther, of West Newton, means he's the fifth of seven guards charged two years ago in a grand jury investigation to have all charges dropped or dismissed against him.
Defense attorney Mark Fiorilli says Lowther is trying to put his life back together and working on getting his job back.
Two fired guards have been convicted of some charges they physically tormented and harassed inmates, mostly gays and child molesters, at the state prison.
Forty-one-year-old Tory Kelly, of Aliquippa, is serving 12 years' probation while the alleged ringleader, 61-year-old Harry Nicoletti, of Coraopolis, is serving five years' probation.
A jury rejected dozens of charges that Nicoletti sexually assaulted the inmates, however.

Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, July 8
While our Beat the Streak leader ("scott.fredrickson") pushed pause
on his 35-gamer after watching Justin Morneau sit last night's contest
out, our Home Run Beat the Streak leader made moves.
For the eighth consecutive day, "tpw" got his Miss Cleo on
(hello, reference from 2004) and used his psychic powers in selecting
Ryan Howard, who proceeded to tater off Kris Medlen in the fifth inning
last night.
With an eight-game homer streak, "tpw" is now riding solo with
the season lead and is in the driver's seat for two tickets to the 2011
All-Star Game in Phoenix with a shot at $10,000.
Did I mention how unpredictably insane this feat is? Odds "tpw" has been stocking up on Powerball tickets?
As for my debut Ryan Braun Home Run BTS Pick of the Day? Yeah, the other LeBraun went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts.
Glad I could help.
Time for Thursday's picks
Oh, hello there …
? Brandon Phillips:.455 AVG (5-for-11) lifetime vs. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick
? Jorge Cantu: .500 AVG (7-for-14) lifetime vs. Diamondbacks starter Rodrigo Lopez
? Franklin Gutierrez: .417 AVG (5-for-12) lifetime vs. Yankees starter Andy Pettitte
? Michael Young: .400 AVG (6-for-15) lifetime vs. Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie
? Juan Pierre: .347 AVG (4-for-15) lifetime vs. Angels starter Ervin Santana
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Mark Kotsay: .417 AVG (10-for-24) lifetime vs. Angels starter Ervin Santana.
Hits in six of last seven games makes me say yes to Kotsay.
You'll thank me later …
? Paul Konerko: .182 AVG (4-for-22) lifetime vs. Angels starter Ervin Santana
? Prince Fielder: .167 AVG (2-for-12) lifetime vs. Giants starter Barry Zito
? Andrew McCutchen: .167 AVG (1-for-7) lifetime vs. Astros starter Roy Oswalt
? Vladimir Guerrero: .059 AVG (1-for-17) lifetime vs. Orioles starter Jeremy Guthrie
Leaderboard time!
Our second-place streaker, "trisha0087", also selected Justin Morneau to freeze a 29-game streak.
What's going on here? Why all the Morneau love? Has anyone seen

Dave Feldman must be having a bad day. Morneau did not sit out yesterday, went 2-4. Maybe looking at today's leader picks; Morneau will be sitting most likely.
Wagers? Cano most picked today? I'd bet on that possibility.
shoud i pick dwayne wise of the JAYS
taking joey votto. im gonna ride the 1st basemen while they are hot. hopefully i can get to a 10 game streak when the all star break comes
Kinsler and Young look good v. O's Guthrie.
Alex Rios -in HR
Rangers in Survivor
I have Michael Young today in BTS. Young looks good against Guthrie and that day off on Tuesday I'm hoping refreshed him and now he gets hot starting tonight. Rangers in Survivor and Tex in HR BTS.
Hey dragbunt I got the same Kinsler/Young idea for beat the streak and I chose the Rangers in survivor. I'm taking A-Rod for a home run.
Alex Rios never fails. He did it again!
FYI: Top2500 will be posted around 6PM EST, all games included.
Congrats to tpw. Very happy with last night. I was 3 for 3 with all BTS for the 2nd night in a row. Had morneau for a hit, Howard for a HR, and the Rays to win. Hoping for the same outcome tonight.
BTS: Evan Longoria
HR: Vernon Wells
Survivor: Rangers over the Orioles

Alex Rios DOES fail?he burned me a few days ago dang it! Going with Votto tonight. Should'a picked the big Puma today in HR bts! he homered for the 3rd day in a row…to add insult to injury he did it twice! He's got Ohlendorf's number for sure.
Went 0 for 3 last night…still licking my wounds. Thank you Ordonez/Butler/St Louis!!

"Alex Rios DOES fail?he burned me a few days ago dang it!"
You picked the wrong "day" for Rios' magic. He was bound to fail 2 days ago.
Is anyone else getting worried about the leader's uncanny approach to picking the Twins? I am hoping Hamiltion pick is a FAIL today. I figure he might be due for 0-fer plus he is going against the *best* or the ace of the Orioles. LOL!
I think if Texas get C. Lee, they can take down the Yanks in the playoff. I don't think any Yankee pitcher is immune from getting bombed by the the big bats, espcially in TX.
And how about Ichiro? Working on a nice hitting streak comprised of barely hits. This reminds me of Ryan Zimmerman's streak last year. You just can't ride it because he is not hitting well except getting that one hit a day.
The second half of the m&m boys is out. Mild concussion. He is not gonna be a good pick for at least one week even when he comes back. That's gotta hurt.
@btsPlayer: Leader does appear to be Twins fan, no doubt. Place "pinkilili33" on your lucky-meter; picks Albert vs Ubaldo & goes 0-fer til bottom of 9th when reliever comes in.
Yeah. I saw that. pinkilili33 must be all blushing pink now. She must have a lady's luck or something. Going against Jimenez?
It's official. Pick Pujols only when he it looks to be absolutely dreadful. That is when he comes through. All other times, he is just there to destroy streaks.
Oswalt improved his chances to be traded to contender with his 1-hitter today.
ChiSox are hot – Keep an eye on them for Survivor.
Buerhle on Friday v. Royals and game is in Chicago.
Good day my fellow bloggers.
Whats with the lack of love for Rios today? His day numbers are awesome this year, something like .430 during the day vs rhp, enough for me to go with him. Yay, upto 8.
Lav: how many ppl(top2500) took Rios today? just outta curiousity.
Dodgers in survivor, Konerko didnt homer for me.
GL to all tonight.
2010 "The Year of the Pitcher" Update
I went to the Angels at ChiSox game this afternoon.
Santana v. Danks – Classic Pitchers duel
Lone run scored on a Sac Fly in 1st inning.
Total of 5 hits between both teams
2 sharp hit balls by Rios – He must be hot to have had 2 hits off Santana today.
Watch Danks and Santana after All-Star break – do not pick hitters who face them – they are on fire.
So since my regular BTS is taking a road block hit after snapping my 10-gamer the other day, I've randomly partook in HR BTS again and thanks to Votto I'm up to 3. Maybe it's my destiny? Hah.
@00Liber: Only 24
Votto & Swisher make All Star team
Hmmm, Cubs on WGN tonite, I can watch my team & my pick all at once; nice 🙂
lavolpe – ATT U-verse is a great deal and you would see all Cub games. They are always running a special deal.
Rangers – Friday v. O's
Kinsler – .471 v. lefties
Young – .360 v. lefties
O'S Matuz lefty
Cabrera still hot too
"Ichiro singles on a soft groundball to Jeter in top of the 1st." This guy has a 10 game hit streak and is batting .250 over the past 10 games. What is going on? Are these home games witha generous official scorer?
Wonder how long the B.Phillips pickers' luck holds out. 0-fer but in extra innings.
Good news: Ian Kinsler is 2 for 3
The awful news: Texas has blown it's lead with 2 wild pitches and an error in the 8th inning and there are NO OUTS!
A walk and the Orioles have the lead. 34.7% have the Rangers on survivor and they are having massive implosion in the 8th inning and there are still no outs!
Well, Schneider's 12th inning homer does in Phillip's pickers (0-5) and takes down a chunk of front-runners. Only major streak-recking pick left tonite: Cano
Thanks a lot Frank Francisco another right pick loses on survivor and now my survivor streak is 0 AGAIN!
The survivor curse struck again but my beat the streak is at 4.
Ouch, Top2500 sucker punched: Phillips, Ethier, Hanley, Vlad, Cantu, Ad.Gonzalez, Jeter & Mauer go 0-fer, taking down 577 streakers or 23% by themselves, plus aother 6% from other batters.
@btsPlayer: DET-MIN game; hoping Verlander is on his game. Thinking our leading Twinkie will return home in that game.
Looking at Kinsler v. O's on BTS or Markasis v. Feldman
HR BTS – Corey Hary v. Pirates staff – Brewer home game
Survivor – TB and "Big Game" James Shields at home V. Cleveland.
Please is there a web site that give pitchers home – away win/loss records. I know MLB site gives Home/Away Era's etc. but not wins/losses. This is good info to have for Survivor.
e.g. as I heard on ESPN – Adam Wainwright is 9 – 0 in home games and CC Sabathia is 11-0 in home games. This is golden info for Survivor picking.
Good Luck to all today. All-Star break is around the corner.
from the main page there is a "players" dropdown search box. Then select their split stats.
"lavolpe – ATT U-verse is a great deal and you would see all Cub games. They are always running a special deal.
Rangers – Friday v. O's
Kinsler – .471 v. lefties
Young – .360 v. lefties
O'S Matuz lefty
Cabrera still hot too"
Why is there two sets of stats with the lefty/righty splits?
I saw Kinsler hitting .440 against lefties coming into today from the MLB.com player splits page.

(CNN) – Secretary of State John Kerry's wife was set to leave a Boston hospital on Thursday after doctors upgraded her condition from fair to good and confirmed she had suffered a seizure.
Teresa Heinz Kerry, 74, took ill on Nantucket in Massachusetts over the weekend and underwent tests at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital this week.
Glen Johnson, a spokesman for Kerry, said in a statement that many possibilities for the cause of the seizure have "thankfully" been ruled out. But so far, doctors have not pinpointed why it occurred.
Heinz Kerry will move to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston to continue her recovery.
Kerry will split his time between Boston and Washington and resume his official travel schedule soon, Johnson said. Kerry has been traveling heavily since taking office earlier this year.
Kerry grew emotional Wednesday while talking about his wife's condition and thanking the public for its support.
