Modelling Multiple Dosing with Drug Holiday in Antiretroviral Treatment on HIV-1 Infection
Journal Title: Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 49, Issue 1
Abstract
A within-host mathematical model to describe the dynamics of target cells and viral load in early HIV-1 infection was developed, which incorporates a combination of RTI and PI treatments by using a pharmacokinetics model. The local stability of uninfected steady state for the model was determined using an alternative threshold. The pharmacokinetics model was employed to estimate drug efficacy in multiple drug dosing. The effect of periodic drug efficacy of pharmacokinetic type on outcome of HIV-1 infection was explored under various treatment interruptions. The effectiveness of treatment interruption was determined according to the time period of the drug holidays. The results showed that long drug holidays lead to therapy failure. Under interruption of treatments combining RTI and PI therapy, effectiveness of the treatment requires a short duration of the drug holiday.

On Commutative Characterization of Graph Operation with Respect to Metric Dimension
Let G be a connected graph with vertex set V(G) and W={w_1,w_2,…,w_m}⊆V(G). A representation of a vertex v∈V(G) with respect to W is an ordered m-tuple r(v|W)=(d(v,w_1 ),d(v,w_2 ),...,d(v,w_m )) where d(v,w) is the dista...
Simulated Interannual Modulation of Intraseasonal Kelvin Waves in the Equatorial Indian Ocean
Outputs from a high-resolution ocean general circulation model (OGCM) for the period of 1990-2003 indicate an interannual modulation of intraseasonal Kelvin waves along the equatorial Indian Ocean. During normal conditio...
An Elementary Approach to Polynomial Optimization on Polynomial Meshes
A polynomial mesh on a multivariate compact set or manifold is a sequence of finite norming sets for polynomials whose norming constant is independent of degree. We apply the recently developed theory of polynomial meshe...

Riesz Representation Theorem on Bilinear Spaces of Truncated Laurent Series
In this study a generalization of the Riesz representation theorem on non-degenerate bilinear spaces, particularly on spaces of truncated Laurent series, was developed. It was shown that any linear functional on a non-de...
