The rollout of paediatric dolutegravir and virological outcomes among children living with HIV in Mozambique.

Background: In 2022, Mozambique introduced Dolutegravir 10mg (pDTG), as part of paediatric antiretroviral therapy for children weighing < 20 kg. Understanding real-world challenges during national rollout can strengthen health systems in resource-limited settings.

Objectives: We described the transition rate to, and new initiation of, pDTG, viral load suppression (VLS) post-pDTG, and factors associated with VLS among children living with HIV.

Bridging the Gap Between Computational Photography and Visual Recognition.

What is the current state-of-the-art for image restoration and enhancement applied to degraded images acquired under less than ideal circumstances? Can the application of such algorithms as a pre-processing step improve image interpretability for manual analysis or automatic visual recognition to classify scene content? While there have been important advances in the area of computational photography to restore or enhance the visual quality of an image, the capabilities of such techniques have not always translated in a useful way to visual recognition tasks. Consequently, there is a pressing need for the development of algorithms that are designed for the joint problem of improving visual appearance and recognition, which will be an enabling factor for the deployment of visual recognition tools in many real-world scenarios. To address this, we introduce the UG dataset as a large-scale benchmark composed of video imagery captured under challenging conditions, and two enhancement tasks designed to test algorithmic impact on visual quality and automatic object recognition.

Nandrolone decanoate interferes with testosterone biosynthesis altering blood-testis barrier components.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether nandrolone decanoate (ND) use affects testosterone production and testicular morphology in a model of trained and sedentary mice. A group of mice underwent endurance training while another set led a sedentary lifestyle and were freely mobile within cages. All experimental groups were treated with either ND or peanut oil at different doses for 6 weeks.

The Microbial Hypothesis: Contributions of Adenovirus Infection and Metabolic Endotoxaemia to the Pathogenesis of Obesity.

The global obesity epidemic, dubbed "globesity" by the World Health Organisation, is a pressing public health issue. The aetiology of obesity is multifactorial incorporating both genetic and environmental factors. Recently, epidemiological studies have observed an association between microbes and obesity.
