Early Detection of Cancer and Precancerous Lesions in Persons with HIV through a Comprehensive Cancer Screening Protocol.

Background: Non-AIDS defining malignancies present a growing challenge for persons with HIV (PWH), yet tailored interventions for timely cancer diagnosis are lacking. The Spanish IMPAC-Neo protocol was designed to compare two comprehensive cancer screening strategies integrated into routine HIV care. This study reports baseline data on the prevalence and types of precancerous lesions and early-stage cancer among participants at enrolment.

Organic mulches slightly influence the wine phenolic profile and sensory evaluation.

Organic mulching offers numerous agronomical benefits, but its impact on wine quality remains unclear. This study assessed the effect of this practice on wine physicochemical, phenolic composition and sensory properties. Over four years, three organic mulches (grape pruning debris (GPD), straw (STR), and spent mushroom compost (SMC)) and two conventional practices (tillage (TILL) and herbicide (HERB)) were evaluated in two locations.

Carbonic maceration vinification: A tool for wine alcohol reduction.

The increase in alcohol content in wine due to climate change is one of the main challenges that winemakers face today. Previous studies have indicated that carbonic maceration processing can be used to obtain a wine fraction with lower alcoholic strength. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of this technique in obtaining wines with lower alcohol content.

Characterization of the color parameters and monomeric phenolic composition of 'Tempranillo' and 'Graciano' wines made by carbonic maceration.

The current study aims to gather information about the color-related characteristics and the monomeric phenolic composition of carbonic maceration (CM) wines. The study was conducted over two vintages, with two different grape varieties. Color-related general parameters and wine monomeric phenolic composition were determined in both free-run and press CM fractions and were compared to conventional winemaking (CW).
