Disease relevance of GMFA

  • We demonstrate clearly that GMFA is able to ablate ovomucoid-induced allergic reactions in sensitized mice [1].
  • This paper describes an independent evaluation of a peer-led STD/HIV prevention intervention conducted by Gay Men Fighting AIDS (GMFA) in a public sex environment (PSE) [2].
 

High impact information on GMFA

  • Abrogation of the allergic response with complete suppression of anaphylactic symptoms and lower serum histamine levels was observed in the desensitized group by GMFA, accompanied by significantly reduced ovomucoid-specific IgE and IgG1 levels and enhanced specific IgG and IgG2a levels [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GMFA

  • The EEG was recorded simultaneously with 60 scalp electrodes (41 electrodes were used for analysis); the TMS-evoked activation was estimated by the area under the global mean field amplitude (GMFA) time curve [3].
  • Data collected showed that condoms provided by GMFA, as well as from other sources, were being used in the PSE [2].
