Background And Aims: Femoral artery access is widely used despite recent increase in radial access for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Femoral artery closure devices are used to shorten vascular closure time and reduce bleeding. We sought to examine sex-based outcomes of femoral artery vascular closure devices (VCD) in patients undergoing PCI.

Article Synopsis
  • Geographic and environmental factors, particularly temperature, significantly influence the microbial communities in wild flies more than geographic location does.
  • The microbiota composition varies based on diet, with wild flies showing different microbiota profiles depending on the type of food consumed, rather than simply reflecting their diet.
  • Findings suggest that the interaction between the flies’ dietary habits, microbiota, and genetic differences contributes to local adaptation and evolution, especially in a single-orchard ecosystem.

Introduction: Tenofovir is integral to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and pre‑exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV; however, neuropsychiatric adverse events (NPAEs) associated with its use have not been systematically investigated.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to characterize common NPAEs occurring during tenofovir‑based ART and PrEP, and to assess the specific role of tenofovir in their emergence.

Patients And Methods: Four literature databases and 3 trial registries were searched up to December 31, 2023 for randomized controlled trials reporting NPAEs in treatment‑naive adults receiving tenofovir‑based ART or PrEP.
