A closer look: factors impacting HIV durable viral suppression among a cohort of clinic attendees in Trinidad & Tobago.

Background: In Trinidad and Tobago, high HIV prevalence among key populations necessitates studying factors that impact durable viral suppression (DVS), crucial for effective HIV management and reducing transmission among at-risk networks. This study investigates these factors using clinical data from a major HIV care clinic in the Caribbean.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 533 adult people with HIV (people) at MRFTT from 2017 to 2021 assessed the proportion achieving DVS, defined as a sustained viral load <200 copies/ml over one year.

Thumb-domain dynamics modulate the functional repertoire of DNA-Polymerase IV (DinB).

In order to cope with the risk of stress-induced mutagenesis, cells in all kingdoms of life employ Y-family DNA polymerases to resolve resulting DNA lesions and thus maintaining the integrity of the genome. In Escherichia coli, the DNA polymerase IV, or DinB, plays this crucial role in coping with these type of mutations via the so-called translesion DNA synthesis. Despite the availability of several high-resolution crystal structures, important aspects of the functional repertoire of DinB remain elusive.

Acculturative Stress and Self-rated Health among Hispanic Emerging Adults: Examining the Moderating Effects of the Social Environment and Social Support.

Little is known about the impact of sociocultural stressors such as acculturative stress on self-rated health among Hispanics. We aimed to examine (a) associations between acculturative stress and self-rated health, and (b) the moderating effects of the community of settlement (i.e.

Analysis of Road Transport Response to COVID-19 Pandemic in Nigeria and its Policy Implications.
