Objective: This systematic review aimed to assess the evidence on sexual transmission of HIV in high-income settings between serodiscordant couples where the index partner infected with HIV is on antiretroviral therapy.
Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analyses.
Methods: We performed a systematic search in four databases: Embase, MEDLINE, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science on September 24, 2022.
Introduction: Sleep-disordered breathing affects 1.6 million people in the UK. The recognised treatment is positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy, delivered via a generic conventional interface (mask).

Their receptors are neurokinin one receptor (NK1R) and neurokinin two receptor (NK2R), G protein-coupled receptors that transmit G and G-mediated downstream signaling. We investigate the importance of sequence differences at the bottom of the receptor orthosteric site for activity and selectivity, focusing on residues that closely interact with the C-terminal methionine of the peptide ligands.

As a result, serious bleeding episodes are treated acutely with blood product transfusions or frequent, repeated intravenous administration of recombinant activated coagulation factor VII (rFVIIa). Here we describe HMB-001, a bispecific antibody designed to bind and accumulate endogenous FVIIa and deliver it to sites of vascular injury by targeting it to the TREM (triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells)-like transcript-1 (TLT-1) receptor that is selectively expressed on activated platelets.
