Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated how acceptable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is among individuals eligible for it who received their first HIV test at a medical facility in Milan, Italy.
- Out of 2,627 people tested, 88.3% of those with negative results were men, and only 40% accepted PrEP; acceptance was significantly lower among women and non-Caucasians.
- The research highlighted a concerning trend: non-acceptance of PrEP was notably high among those diagnosed with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during the testing process.
Background: 4CMenB appears to be effective in reducing (Ng) infections. Aims are to assess factors associated with breakthrough rectal Ng after 4CMenB and evaluate clinical and microbiological characteristics of breakthrough infections compared with before vaccination.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) vaccinated with 4CMenB (2 doses) between 2017 and 2023 at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute for Research, Hospitalization and Healthcare (IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute), Milan, Italy, and tested for rectal Ng.
Background: Exploring the role of different individual factors in affecting the cognitive reserve levels is crucial step for aging research. Several studies explored the relationship between personality traits and aging, but a specific focus on the cognitive reserve is missing.
Aims: This study aimed at collecting more direct evidence about possible relationships between cognitive reserve and personality traits.
Possible synergistic effects of the combination of EDTA-tromethamine (EDTA-Tris) and three antimicrobial agents (cephaloridine, kanendomycin and enrofloxacin) against resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are reported. Bacteria were isolated from eight cases of chronic otitis externa, five cases of chronic dermatitis and four cases of recurrent cystitis in dogs which had previously been treated with one of the three antibiotics without success. Animals exposed to EDTA-tromethamine plus the antibiotic recovered completely within 10 days, and were controlled clinically and bacteriologically for 180 days.
