  • The study aimed to examine weight changes in HIV-positive individuals receiving either dolutegravir- or efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) in rural Tanzania, where undernutrition is common.
  • It analyzed the weight changes over 18 months for 1,205 adults starting ART, finding that those on dolutegravir gained more weight (5.1 kg) compared to those on efavirenz (4.0 kg).
  • The results indicated that dolutegravir led to higher obesity rates and increased hypertension risk, particularly in individuals with a higher body mass index before starting treatment.*

Background: Mammography screening programs (MSP) have shown that breast cancer can be detected at an earlier stage enabling less invasive treatment and leading to a better survival rate. The considerable numbers of interval breast cancer (IBC) and the additional examinations required, the majority of which turn out not to be cancer, are critically assessed.

Objective: In recent years companies and universities have used machine learning (ML) to develop powerful algorithms that demonstrate astonishing abilities to read mammograms.

Background: Bivalent messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, designed to combat emerging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants, incorporate ancestral strains and a new variant. Our study assessed the immune response in previously vaccinated individuals of the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (SHCS) and the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (STCS) following bivalent mRNA vaccination.

Methods: Eligible SHCS and STCS participants received approved bivalent mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (mRNA-1273.
