There is scant knowledge regarding pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among female sex workers (FSWs) in Europe. Spain recognized FSWs as a population at high risk of acquiring HIV and granted them subsidized access to PrEP when the medication first became nationally available in 2019. Nevertheless, FSWs represented just 0.

We present a 3-patient case series that support the use of ultrasound guided minimally invasive autopsy (MIA). This technique has a high diagnostic accuracy in specific clinical settings. It makes easier to diagnose pathologies once the patient has died, avoiding body deformation, with a notable reduction in sample processing time compared to the open autopsy study and, therefore, a shorter overall diagnostic response time.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the safety and effectiveness of sotrovimab for treating severe COVID-19 in immunocompromised patients, specifically looking at data from October to December 2021.
  • Out of 32 patients studied, most were either organ transplant recipients or had blood cancers, with some experiencing respiratory issues and a small percentage dying or needing ventilation.
  • Results suggest that early treatment within the first two weeks may lead to better outcomes, and no adverse effects were reported from sotrovimab, indicating it could be a safe option that requires further research.

Background: Although switching antiretroviral therapy (ART) in people with human immunodeficiency virus experiencing insomnia due to dolutegravir-related neurotoxicity is well founded upon evidence, there is a lack of proof in regard to the outcome of stopping dolutegravir-based ART in people without insomnia but reporting poor sleep quality.

Methods: This is a randomized, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the reversibility of patient-reported sleep disturbances in patients on dolutegravir/lamivudine/abacavir without insomnia after switching to darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide. The participants were randomized to switch ART at baseline or at week 4 and then completed 8 weeks of darunavir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide.

Objective: To describe the outcome of patients after noninvasive ventilation in a high dependency unit (HDU) of an emergency department (ED). Secondary aims were to define the role of intensive care consultation and to identify variables associated with mortality.

Methods: Observational, prospective 6-month study.
