This study is designed in two Phases. In phase 1, the Functional Outcome Measure will be tested to determine its validity and reliability in three populations, subjects that have not had a stroke and have no visual field defect, subjects that have had a stroke but do not have a visual field defect, and lastly subjects that have had a stroke and have a visual field defect. The second phase will employ an amended version of the functional outcome measure to be administered to two groups of subjects. The first group of subjects will be those subjects diagnosed with a visual field defect from retrochiasmatic insults and they will perform vision restoration therapy. The second group with a similar diagnosis to the first but who do not undergo vision restoration therapy.
NCT00001078
The purpose of this study is to find out if it is safe for HIV-positive children who are responding well to their anti-HIV treatment to stop taking medications that prevent AIDS-related infections (opportunistic infections) such as pneumonia and other bacterial infections. This is an observational study, meaning children will only be monitored to see if they develop any infections. Children have been receiving medications to prevent complications of HIV infection, such as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) disease, or other bacterial infections. It is common for HIV-positive patients with low CD4 counts to receive these preventive medications. However, these drugs can have serious side effects, they are expensive, and it is possible for bacteria resistant to the drugs to grow. For these reasons, it may be beneficial to the child to stop taking these preventive medications if he/she has been on anti-HIV (antiretroviral) therapy and has improved CD4 counts. This study will look at how many children who stop taking their medications develop opportunistic infections.
