Chikungunya (CHIKV), o'nyong-nyong (ONNV), and Mayaro (MAYV) viruses are transmitted by mosquitoes and known to cause a debilitating arthritogenic syndrome. These alphaviruses have emerged and re-emerged, leading to outbreaks in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, South America, and Africa. Despite their prevalence, there persists a critical gap in the availability of sensitive and virus-specific point-of-care (POC) diagnostics.

- Women living with HIV/AIDS (WLHA) show a higher prevalence of high-risk HPV infection and cervical cancer, prompting a study on the immune response cytokines in this group.
- The study tested various cytokines in cervicovaginal lavage samples from 106 WLHA, finding associations between high-risk HPV infection and certain cytokines like IL-10, especially in premenopausal women.
- Results suggest that IL-10 is linked to HPV infection, indicating a Th2 immune response in co-infected patients, but more longitudinal research is needed for deeper insights into its role in HPV-related health issues.

Objectives: To compare the effect of DTG- or efavirenz (EFV)-based regimens on the outcomes of patients with advanced AIDS.
Purpose: Body composition analysis using computed tomography (CT) is proposed as a predictor of cancer mortality. An association between subcutaneous adipose tissue radiodensity (SATr) and cancer-specific mortality was established, while gender effects and equipment bias were estimated.
Methods: 7,475 CT studies were selected from 17 cohorts containing CT images of untreated cancer patients who underwent follow-up for a period of 2.
