Smoking Cessation Intervention for Women With HIV/AIDS
As people with HIV/AIDS live longer, the burden of non-AIDS-related health problems such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers on these people have consistently increased. Smoking is one of the major contributing factors to these health problems and rates of cigarette smoking in this group are substantially higher than those of the general population: 40-70% vs. 17-10%. Especially, women living with HIV/AIDS seem to be more susceptible to the negative consequence of smoking than their male counterparts. They are also less likely to see tobacco dependence treatment for dual stigma associated with both conditions: HIV infection and nicotine addiction. This is a pilot study to develop smoking cessation intervention for these women.

Clinical and Genomic Factors for Prognosis of AIDS Primary Effusion Lymphoma
This research trial studies clinical factors and gene expression analysis for prognosis in tissue samples from patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related primary effusion lymphoma. Gathering health information over time and studying samples of tissue from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn about the prognosis of patients with AIDS-related primary effusion lymphoma.

Impact of Strength Training With Vascular Occlusion on the Syndrome Lipodystrophy in Patients Harboring With HIV/Aids
The use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) could prevent depression of the immune system of patients harboring with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), providing increased life expectancy, changing the classification of HIV / AIDS into a chronic illness. However prolonged use of ARTincreases the prevalence of lipodystrophy syndrome (SL), characterized by inadequate distribution of body fat and changes in lipid profile, associated with a significantly increased cardiovascular risk, among others. The practice of strength training (ST) helps in controlling SL, providing improved lipid profile and the quality of life of these patients. However, due to increased cardiovascular risk and physical weakness resulting from SL, the ST with vascular occlusion (STOV) could be a viable alternative training, to use low load (10-30% of maximal work capacity) with similar benefits ST traditional (STT), as already proven in other populations. The STOV is justified by the lower neuromuscular overhead, increasing the number of patients able to participate in this complementary therapy. The objective was to assess the impact of the combined strength training with vascular occlusion on SL and the skeletal muscle tissue in people harboring with HIV/Aids.

Quality Control of CE-Certified Phonak Hearing Aids
A methodical evaluation of new CE-labelled Phonak Hearing Systems is intended to be conducted on hard of hearing participants to grant quality control prior to product launch. The aim of the investigation series is to ensure zero-defect overall performance of the new hearing systems as well as maximum benefit for the participant with the devices in comparison to previously outstanding Phonak Hearing Systems and to equivalent competitor devices.

Overcoming Barriers to HIV/AIDS Care and ART Initiation
The study will evaluate interventions to improve engagement in HIV care following HIV diagnosis through a voluntary counseling and testing program. The specific aims are to (1) determine if a VCT-based intervention of CD4 count testing, alone or in combination with peer counseling, improves linkage to HIV/AIDS care; (2) assess the impact of the intervention on ART initiation. The study will recruit 450 HIV-positive individuals from VCTs and randomize a third to standard counseling and referral, a third to receive CD4 testing at the VCT with results return by phone after 1 weeks, and a third to receive the same CD4 testing combined with peer counseling. These combined investigations will create a comprehensive understanding of obstacles to appropriate HIV/AIDS care and result in new interventions to achieve measurable outcomes in applied settings.

Evaluation of a Binaural Spatialization Method for Hearing Aids, in Terms of Speech Intelligibility, Speaker Localization and Subjective Preference.
This study investigates the possible benefits of using binaural spatialization techniques in digital wireless microphone systems for hearing aids. Speech intelligibility tests, speaker localization tests and preference tests are performed. The results of a diotic (current rendering) and a binaural (suggested rendering) rendering are compared.

Impact of Peer Education Program on HIV/AIDS Related Sexual Behaviors of Secondary School Students in Rural Communities, India: a Quasi-experimental Study.
Worldwide, about 50% of all new cases of HIV occur in youth between age 15 and 24 years. Studies in various countries show that both out of school and in school adolescents and youth are engaged in risky sexual behaviors. Peer-based interventions have become a common method to effect important health-related behavior changes and address the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of peer education in improving HIV knowledge, attitude, and preventive practices among in-school adolescents
