Athletes with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience lesser care for injuries and athletic trainers (ATs) report feeling unprepared to provide care competently for this population. Provision of sports-related care can be impacted by sensory differences associated with ASD such as hyper-reactivity to sensation or poor integration of sensory information. An in-depth review of the literature using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT) guidelines was used to identify articles that address the sensory features of autism for athletic trainers with the purpose of informing athletic trainers about the sensory features of ASD and to present the most current evidence-based recommendations for providing care to athletes with ASD and other neurodivergent individuals who present with sensory differences.

- Researchers studied how infections in mosquitoes could lower their ability to spread malaria, using a detailed mathematical model to explore control strategies in Haiti.
- The model incorporates various mosquito life stages and biological effects, highlighting key metrics like the basic reproductive number and the phenomenon of backward bifurcation, which indicates a specific infection threshold for stability.
- Simulations suggest that the best strategy for establishing control is to release infected mosquitoes right after pre-treatment measures and during the dry season for optimal effectiveness.
Background: The late recognition of virologic failure (VF) places persons with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa at risk for HIV transmission, disease progression, and death. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine if the recognition and response to VF in the region has improved.
Methods: We searched for studies reporting CD4 count at confirmed VF or at switch to second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART).
