Bayesian Estimation of the Probability of Virologic Failure on Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine Long-Acting in Real Life.

Background Virologic failure (VF) is still a major concern in the use of cabotegravir (CAB) and rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting (LA) for many healthcare professionals (HCP). While many results from clinical trials have been published, there is suspicion that they might underestimate the risk under less-controlled real-life conditions. This study aimed to estimate the probability of VF (primary objective) as well as discontinuation for any reason (secondary objective) among people with HIV (PWH) on CAB and RPV LA every two months (Q2M) in real life using Bayesian methodology.

CEP signaling coordinates plant immunity with nitrogen status.

Plant endogenous signaling peptides shape growth, development and adaptations to biotic and abiotic stress. Here, we identify C-TERMINALLY ENCODED PEPTIDEs (CEPs) as immune-modulatory phytocytokines in Arabidopsis thaliana. Our data reveals that CEPs induce immune outputs and are required to mount resistance against the leaf-infecting bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv.

The Four Core Genotypes mouse model: evaluating the impact of a recently discovered translocation.

The Four Core Genotypes (FCG) mouse model has become a valuable model to study the mechanistic basis for biological sex differences. This model allows discrimination between influences of gonadal sex (ovaries or testes) from those associated with genetic sex (presence of XX or XY chromosome complement). FCG mice have illuminated distinct effects of gonadal and chromosomal sex on traits ranging from brain structure and behavior to vulnerability to obesity, atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and other diseases.

Anesthesiological Preoperative Interview with a Palliative Care Patient: A Simulation-Based Experiment Using Standardized Patients.

: Anesthesiologists come into contact with patients under palliative care in different clinical settings. They also routinely encounter these patients in their primary field of work, the operating room. Patients receiving palliative care who are scheduled for surgery will pose unique challenges in perioperative management, often presenting with advanced disease and with different psychosocial and ethical issues.

Distinct roles of the two BRCA2 DNA binding domains in DNA damage repair and replication fork preservation.

Homologous recombination (HR) is a highly conserved tool for the removal of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and the preservation of stalled and damaged DNA replication forks. Successful completion of HR requires the tumor suppressor BRCA2. Germline mutations in BRCA2 lead to familial breast, ovarian, and other cancers, underscoring the importance of this protein for maintaining genome stability.
