Surgical treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome in patients with peripheral neuropathy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Infection with HIV can result in a debilitating CNS disorder known as HIV dementia (HIV-D). Since the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the incidence of HIV-D has declined, but the prevalence continues to increase. In this new era of HIV-D, traditional biomarkers such as CSF viral load ...
