Fluorescent bioimaging is a crucial technique for studies in real cell samples, providing vital information about the metabolism of ions or molecules of biological and pharmaceutical significance. This technique typically uses probes based on organic small-molecule fluorophores, with N-heteroaromatic scaffolds playing an essential role due to their exceptional electronic properties and biocompatibility. Among these, pyrazole derivatives stand out as particularly promising due to their high synthetic versatility and structural diversity.

The aim of our study was to compare the prevalence of mental disorders in people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Spain who present low versus high adherence to ART. We performed a cross-sectional study comparing two groups of PLHIV: 20 PLHIV with low adherence and 80 PLHIV with high adherence to ART.

Objective: There is early evidence about Valproic acid (VPA) antiviral effect. Our aim was to investigate the incidence and severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection in VPA users as compared with the general population.
Material And Methods: A case-control study nested within a cohort, carried out between March 1 and December 17, 2020.
Introduction: CARISEL is an implementation-effectiveness "hybrid" study examining the perspectives of people living with HIV-1 (patient study participants [PSPs]) on cabotegravir (CAB) plus rilpivirine (RPV) long-acting (LA) dosed every 2 months (Q2M) across 5 European countries.
Methods: PSPs completed questionnaires on acceptability (Acceptability of Intervention Measure), appropriateness (Intervention Appropriateness Measure), and feasibility (Feasibility of Intervention Measure) at their first (Month [M] 1), third (M4), and seventh (M12) injection visits. Semistructured qualitative interviews were also conducted.
