Background And Aims: The intrahepatic processes associated with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), especially in the context of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) and HIV co-infection, require a better understanding. Spatial transcriptomics can provide new insights into the complex intrahepatic biological processes, guiding new personalised treatments. Our aim is to evaluate this method characterising the intrahepatic transcriptional landscape, cellular composition and biological pathways in liver biopsy samples from patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and HDV or HIV co-infection.

- The study investigates how the gender and ethnicity of panel members influence audience engagement at a large European hybrid conference, focusing on participation trends among attendees.
- It involves an observational study during the European AIDS Clinical Society conference, collecting data on audience questions and panel demographics to identify patterns in participation.
- Results show that men and individuals from white ethnic groups predominantly asked questions, with less diverse panels leading to lower engagement, highlighting the need for improved diversity and inclusion in future conferences for better participation.
Objectives: Despite being the largest ethnic minority group in England, South Asians have historically had low levels of utilisation of sexual health services (SHS) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnoses, although recent data suggests this may be changing. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with a bacterial STI diagnosis among South Asians attending SHS in England.
Methods: Using data from the GUMCAD STI Surveillance system, a descriptive analysis of South Asians attending SHS in England in 2019 was carried out.
