Background: People with HIV-1 (PWH) age differently than the general population. Blood telomere length (BTL) attrition is a surrogate biomarker of immunosenescence and aging in PWH. BTL is reduced immediately after HIV-1 infection and recovers in PWH with long-term virologic suppression, but the extent of this recovery is unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how HIV infection alters DNA methylation patterns and how antiretroviral therapy (ART) impacts these changes over 96 weeks in individuals with HIV compared to uninfected controls.
  • Researchers found 430 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) in HIV-positive patients before ART, with ART restoring nearly half of these modifications and affecting 845 CpG positions.
  • The analysis revealed that while ART helps restore some DNA methylation changes, it shows a weak correlation with improvements in immune markers like CD4 cell counts and the CD4/CD8 ratio in HIV patients.

Background: Sterols are structural and functional components of eukaryotic cell membranes. Plants produce a complex mixture of sterols, among which β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, and cholesterol in some Solanaceae, are the most abundant species. Many reports have shown that the stigmasterol to β-sitosterol ratio changes during plant development and in response to stresses, suggesting that it may play a role in the regulation of these processes.

A food tradition not only corresponds to the vital need to be nourished every day, but is part of the particularity of a territory as a consequence of its history, traditions, natural heritage, and capacity for ecological and social resilience. In the search for culinary identity, a valorization of a rural territory of high identity potential is carried out, such as in the environmental protection area "Sierra Grande de Hornachos" (Extremadura, Spain), and specifically the town of Hornachos. For this purpose, a series of workshops and interviews were held for men and women who had lived most of their lives in Hornachos and who were older than 70.

Background: Elective caesarean section before 39 weeks gestational age (GA) has been associated with a higher incidence of iatrogenic respiratory distress and pneumothorax in term newborn babies, probably because of a higher respiratory morbidity and the need for resuscitation. These factors have not been systematically evaluated in our patients.

Objective: To determine whether the gestational age, type of delivery, and intensity of resuscitation, are associated with an increase in the incidence of pneumothorax in term neonates.
