Accelerated initiation of antiretroviral therapy by virtual health in service members newly diagnosed with HIV infection.

Objectives: Delays in HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been associated with HIV disease progression and forward transmission. We evaluated the effectiveness of an accelerated ART virtual protocol (VP) for active duty (AD) members with incident HIV diagnosis.

Methods: Under the traditional protocol (TP), service members stationed worldwide were evaluated in-person at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) and received comprehensive HIV care.

Genetic Regulators and Physiological Significance of Glycogen Storage in .

The dimorphic human fungal pathogen has broad metabolic flexibility that allows it to adapt to the nutrient conditions in different host habitats. builds large carbohydrate stores (glycogen) at the end of exponential growth and begins consumption of stored carbohydrates when nutrients become limiting. The expression of genes required for the successful transition between host environments, including the factors controlling glycogen content, is controlled by protein kinase A signaling through the transcription factor Efg1.
