HIV-1 subtypes: implications for epidemiology, pathogenicity, vaccines and diagnostics. Workshop Report from the European Commission (DG XII, INCO-DC) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS.

Forty-three AIDS scientists from Europe, Africa, the United States, Canada, India and China met in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to discuss the implications of the global variation of HIV (list of participants included in Appendix). This meeting followed an earlier meeting of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, held in 1996 in Berlin, Germany [1], in which HIV genetic variability was considered in relation to transmissibility. During the Tanzania meeting, available data pertaining to the biological consequences of HIV genetic variation and its ramifications with regard to epidemiology, diagnostics, classification, and vaccine design were systematically reviewed. There was consensus that classification based on genetically defined subtypes provides an important framework for making advances on understanding viral biology and immunology, and for vaccine development. In addition, other groupings of viruses based on immunological and biological characteristics would be also valuable and help to further refine our understanding of the implications of variability. Key elements of the discussion are summarized here in the context of a review of the current literature.

Guidelines for the use of EEG methodology in the diagnosis of epilepsy. International League Against Epilepsy: commission report. Commission on European Affairs: Subcommission on European Guidelines.

The Commission of European Affairs of the International League Against Epilepsy published 'Appropriate Standards for Epilepsy Care Across Europe' which contained recommendations for the use of electroencephalography (EEG) in the diagnosis of epilepsy (Brodie et al. Epilepsia 1997; 38:1245). The need for a more specific basic document of EEG methodology was recognized and the Subcommission on European Affairs was asked to produce more detailed guidelines to be used across Europe recognizing the range of practices in EEG laboratories. There are many general guidelines published on EEG methodology but this document focuses on the diagnosis of epilepsy. Details from previously published guidelines are included in references and in an appendix. These guidelines are not meant to be used as minimal standards but recommendations that can be applied to all EEG laboratories despite variations in equipment.
