Welcome to AllSci.org

AllSci.org is now online, with the purpose of providing accessible and up-to-date summaries of the latest clinical research in a variety of areas of study.

The information on this site is gleaned directly from published peer-reviewed research and does not reflect the biases and misunderstandings of journalists or marketers with little or no scientific training. The summaries are written by volunteer scientists, clinicians, and students with specific training in the interpretation and use of scientific data.

As time goes by, each area of research will be filled in with both newly published research and older studies from the existing literature. We also plan to gradually increase the number of research interests represented here, with a focus on clinical information that can be of benefit to the average consumer.

If you would like to contribute to this project, please visit our about page for contact information.

Even if you have no clinical or scientific training, the best thing you can do to support our project is link to our articles from your own web sites or blogs, add our articles to sites like Digg and Propeller, and bookmark us on sites like del.icio.us. Thanks for your support.

Authors: Carey D, Liew S, Emery S A common and distressing manifestation of long-term HIV infection is known as facial lipoatrophy. The layer of fat beneath the patient's facial skin erodes over time, causing dramatic changes in appearance and subsequent loss of self-esteem. This loss of self-esteem can lead to a substantially lower quality of life due to the increased difficulty in social relationships that it causes. It can also have lethal effects on the HIV patient's health due to the decrease in medication compliance that often results. The standard treatment.. (Read More)
