Article Synopsis
- PEPFAR has significantly advanced the global fight against HIV over the past 20 years, aiming to meet the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets.
- The African Cohort Study (AFRICOS), funded by PEPFAR, has been crucial for monitoring and evaluating HIV policies and programs for the last decade.
- The paper reviews AFRICOS's impactful research contributions toward eliminating HIV as a public health threat by 2030.
Article Synopsis
- Undergraduate nursing students often feel unprepared to handle aggressive patients, but virtual simulation training can improve their confidence and skills in de-escalation.
- A study involving 33 students showed that after participating in virtual simulations, there was a notable increase in their confidence and perceived success in managing aggressive behaviors.
- The results indicate that male students and those identifying as Caucasian reported higher comfort levels in de-escalating situations, highlighting the effectiveness of tailored de-escalation education.
The spectrum, pathophysiology and recovery trajectory of persistent post-COVID-19 cognitive deficits are unknown, limiting our ability to develop prevention and treatment strategies. We report the 1-year cognitive, serum biomarker and neuroimaging findings from a prospective, national study of cognition in 351 COVID-19 patients who required hospitalization, compared with 2,927 normative matched controls. Cognitive deficits were global, associated with elevated brain injury markers and reduced anterior cingulate cortex volume 1 year after COVID-19.
