HIV is a lentivirus characterized by the formation of its mature core. Visualization and structural examination of HIV requires purification of virions to high concentrations. The yield and integrity of these virions are crucial for ensuring a uniform representation of all viral particles in subsequent analyses.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how hip and foot biomechanical factors affect foot pronation while walking.
- It identified four profiles of biomechanical factors that correspond to greater or lower levels of foot pronation, involving measurements like foot-ankle alignment and hip stiffness.
- The findings suggest that certain combinations of these factors can help predict foot pronation, which may assist in assessing individuals with varying levels of pronation.
Introduction: Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) reduce the progression of kidney disease. Whether the combination of these agents provides additional benefits compared to SGLT2i alone is worth exploring using data from randomized trials designed for this purpose. The aim of the study was to assess the randomized treatment effect of MRAs combined with SGLT2i versus SGLT2i alone on markers of kidney and cardiovascular health.
