Objectives: Advanced HIV disease (AHD) at HIV care enrollment is common in Latin America and may bias cross-sectional care continuum estimates. We therefore explored the impact of AHD on HIV care continuum outcomes using a longitudinal approach.

Methods: We analyzed trajectories of 26,174 adult people with HIV enrolled at Caribbean, Central and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet) sites (2003-2019) using multi-state Cox regression across five stages: (i) enrolled without antiretroviral therapy (no-ART); (ii) on ART without viral suppression (viral load ≥200 copies/m; ART + non-VS); (iii) on ART with viral suppression (viral load <200 copies/ml; ART + VS); (iv) lost to follow-up; (v) death.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated three treatments for amblyopia in children, comparing two methods that included patching with active vision therapy and one method that used patching alone.
  • Results showed significant improvement in visual acuity (VA) and stereoacuity (STA) for the groups that combined patching with vision therapy or monocular perceptual learning, while patching alone was the least effective.
  • The findings suggest that effective amblyopia treatment should involve active vision exercises alongside patching to enhance visual performance, particularly for children with poorer initial vision.

This multicenter study investigates the incidence and predictors of cardiac events (CE) following allo-HCT with PTCY in 453 AML patients. CE occurred in 57 (12.3%) patients within a median of 52 days (IQR: 13-289), with day 100 and 5-year cumulative incidences of 7.

To evaluate the ablation speed (AS), laser efficiency and direct thermal lesions during urinary stone lithotripsy with the current available laser technologies: Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG), pulsed-Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG) and thulium fiber laser (TFL) using different laser settings. Ho:YAG, p-Tm:YAG, and TFL laser system were used in an ureteral model with a volume of 125 mm Begostone. The following parameters were tested across all laser devices: 0.
