Epidemiological, clinical and mortality trends in people with HIV over 60 years in the PISCIS population-based cohort from Catalonia and Balearic Islands.

Objective: With HIV now a chronic condition and an aging population, understanding the evolving profiles of older people with HIV (PWH) is crucial. In this longitudinal study, we examined changes in epidemiological and mortality trends among aging PWH aged 60 and above from 1998 to 2021.

Design: The study constructed four retrospective cohorts based on our calendar periods, reflecting the changing epidemiology of HIV - 1998-2003, 2004-2008, 2009-2014, and 2015-2021.

Lung Nodules and Masses in non-HIV Immunocompromised Patients: A Clinical-Imaging Algorithmic Approach.

Topic Importance: The incidence of pulmonary nodules and masses in non-HIV immunocompromised patients has significantly increased due to advancements in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), solid organ transplantation (SOT), and the widespread use of chemotherapy and immunosuppressive therapies. Differentiating between infectious and non-infectious causes is critical for appropriate diagnosis and management, especially as radiological and clinical presentations can be nonspecific.

Review Findings: This review provides a practical framework for evaluating pulmonary nodules and masses in non-HIV immunocompromised patients, incorporating clinical, immunological, and radiological features.

Blood CD45/CD3 lymphocyte-released extracellular vesicles and mortality in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019.

Background: The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represented a major public health concern. Growing evidence shows that plasma of COVID-19 patients contains large numbers of circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) that correlate with disease severity and recovery. In this study, we sought to characterize the longitudinal cEV signature in critically ill COVID-19 patients during hospitalization and its relation to mortality risk.

Evolving trends in neuropsychological profiles of post COVID-19 condition: A 1-year follow-up in individuals with cognitive complaints.

Cognitive difficulties are reported as lasting sequelae within post COVID-19 condition. However, the chronicity of these difficulties and related factors of fatigue, mood, and perceived health have yet to be fully determined. To address this, the current longitudinal study aimed to clarify the trends of cognitive test performance and cognitive domain impairment following COVID-19 onset, and whether hospitalization influences outcomes.
