The hybrid metal halide [(CH)NOH]CoCl exhibits a first-order phase transition at ∼ 343 K. Its crystal structure and caloric properties respond significantly to moderate pressures (1-1000 bar), demonstrating potential for applications in emerging solid-state refrigeration technologies.

Weight gain effects of Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in people with HIV (PWH) have been sparsely studied.Participants were enrolled in the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV Infection (COCOMO) study. PWH receiving a backbone of emtricitabine, or lamivudine combined with abacavir, tenofovir disoproxil, or tenofovir alafenamide were analysed.

We aimed to assess if HIV is independently associated with high plasma apoE and to determine HIV-related risk factors for high plasma apoE.
Methods: We included 661 people with HIV (PWH) from the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV (COCOMO) study with available measurement of plasma apoE.
Background: The impact of gut microbiota and its metabolites on coronary artery disease (CAD) in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) is unknown. Emerging evidence suggests that imidazole propionate (ImP), a microbial metabolite, is linked with cardiometabolic diseases.
Methods: Fecal samples from participants of the Copenhagen Comorbidity in HIV infection (COCOMO) study were processed for 16S rRNA sequencing and ImP measured with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
Today, ≈20% of the electric consumption is devoted to refrigeration; while, ≈50% of the final energy is dedicated to heating applications. In this scenario, many cooling devices and heat-pumps are transitioning toward the use of CO as an eco-friendly refrigerant, favoring carbon circular economy. Nevertheless, CO still has some limitations, such as large operating pressures (70-150 bar) and a critical point at 31 °C, which compromises efficiency and increases technological complexity.
