MoreWinning Abstracts from the 2015 Medical Student Abstract Competition: Targeting NADPH-Mediated Oxidative Stress Reduces Cell Death and Improves Behavior following Neurotrauma

The first-generation protease inhibitors have been approved for treatment of genotype 1 infection, leading to sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of 68%-75% for treatment-naïve patients (1, 2).
