The initial six months following HIV infection have a high viral load. Nonspecific presentations might lead to the missing primary HIV diagnosis. Multiorgan and multisystem diagnosis is a rare presentation of primary HIV.

Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) represents a highly tunable, strongly correlated electron system. However, understanding the single-particle band structure alone has been challenging due to a lack of spectroscopic measurements over a broad energy range. Here, we probe the band structure of TBG around the magic angle using infrared spectroscopy and reveal spectral features that originate from interband transitions.

Article Synopsis
  • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective method for preventing HIV, but in India, where private healthcare dominates, there's a lack of information on who is benefiting from it.
  • A study used the Grindr app to survey sexual and gender minorities in India, revealing that only 30.3% were aware of PrEP and just 3.1% were currently using it, with awareness and use linked to socio-behavioral factors.
  • The findings indicate low overall awareness and use of PrEP, particularly among lower-income groups, suggesting that integrating PrEP into government and NGO programs could help increase its adoption and combat HIV.

Objective: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. The prognosis of EPN is variable, and there is no single treatment that is universally effective.

Materials And Methods: In this study, we developed a scoring system to predict the prognosis of EPN and to guide management.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with a heart condition called atrial fibrillation (AF) who have strokes can still be at very high risk of having more strokes, even when taking medication to prevent them.
  • Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a special procedure aimed at helping these patients avoid future strokes.
  • A study compared two groups – one that had LAAO and one that only continued their usual medication – and found that there was still a risk of strokes in both groups over a two-year period.
