Cisgender women living with HIV experience elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk that increases with age, a concern given extended life expectancies for people living with HIV. The CVD risk disparity among cisgender women aging with HIV is understudied and remains unclear. Taking a psychoneuroimmunology approach, given this group's intersecting marginalized identities, one potential driver of the disparity is intersectional stigma.

- The systematic review evaluated how periodontal therapy affects inflammation and oxidative stress markers in type 2 diabetes patients with periodontitis.
- Reviews of 1,062 studies identified 14 eligible trials with 1,223 participants, showing moderate-quality evidence that periodontal treatment lowers c-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation, particularly notable in smokers.
- The findings suggest that non-surgical periodontal therapy can reduce systemic inflammation in T2DM patients, potentially lowering risks for other serious conditions like cardiovascular disease.
Dementia is a major public health concern due to its increasing prevalence, substantial caregiver burden, and high financial costs. Currently, the anti-dementia drugs aim only at a symptomatic effect. The subject of prescribing these drugs in advanced stages is a matter of considerable debate, with different countries making distinct recommendations.

- This study investigates the impact of HIV-related stigma on transgender women (TGW) living with HIV in Miami, FL, highlighting a gap in current understanding.
- In a small survey conducted during HIV clinical visits, findings revealed low levels of HIV-related stigma among the TGW participants, differing from earlier studies.
- The research suggests increased acceptance of TGW with HIV may be a reason for this low stigma and emphasizes the need for larger studies to better understand and reduce stigma.
