Established strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of type 1 myocardial infarction (MI) due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture have led to improvements in both short- and long-term survival. However, it is recognized that MI can occur without atherothrombosis, in acute conditions that result in an imbalance in myocardial oxygen supply or an unmet increase in myocardial oxygen demand.

Keywordssubtype diversity, HIV, vaccine development, genetic diversityDepartmentMicrobiology and Molecular BiologyAbstractHIV’s ability to infect a host and grow without killing the host allows the virus to accumulate genetic diversity. Over time, HIV has diverged into a number of subtypes, differing up to 30% in their nucleic acids (2). For this reason, one of the greatest problems with vaccine development is that different subtypes express different protein variants (3).
