Highly active antiretroviral therapy has led to a significant increase in the life expectancy of people living with HIV. The trade-off is that HIV-infected patients often suffer from comorbidities that require additional treatment, increasing the risk of Drug-Drug Interactions (DDIs), the clinical relevance of which has often not been determined during registration trials of the drugs involved. Therefore, it is important to identify potential clinically relevant DDIs in order to establish the most appropriate therapeutic approaches.

Article Synopsis
  • Endothelial-cell-specific molecule-1 (ESM-1), also known as endocan, is identified as a significant biomarker for inflammation and cardiovascular risk in COVID-19 patients, particularly in the context of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C).
  • In a study comparing ESM-1 levels between MIS-C patients and healthy controls, MIS-C patients showed significantly higher levels of ESM-1, suggesting its potential diagnostic value.
  • The research indicates that ESM-1 not only correlates with other inflammatory markers but is also associated with cardiac complications, highlighting its role in assessing cardiovascular risks in MIS-C patients and aiding in treatment strategies.

Background: Managing metabolism for optimal training, performance, and recovery in medium-to-high-level endurance runners involves enhancing energy systems through strategic nutrient intake. Optimal carbohydrate intake before, during, and after endurance running can enhance glycogen stores and maintain optimal blood glucose levels, influencing various physiological responses and adaptations, including transitory post-endurance inflammation. This randomized trial investigates the impact of a high-dose 2:1 maltodextrin-fructose supplementation to medium-to-high-level endurance runners immediately before, during, and after a 15 km run at 90% VO intensity on post-exercise inflammatory stress.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered a "man's disease". However, emerging data show that females may have a higher prevalence of certain risk factors. A potential causal role of asbestos in CRC carcinogenesis has been suggested.
