Chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD) are significant public health concerns for people living with HIV (PLWH), especially with the increased life expectancy because of antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study evaluated the prevalence and associated factors of low BMD among 94 PLWH in Kerman, Iran, from September 2021 to February 2022. Using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, BMD was measured, with low BMD defined by specific T-scores and Z-scores.

Background: The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV), leading to an increased prevalence of age-related comorbidities such as osteoporosis. This study investigates the incidence and characteristics of low bone mineral density (BMD) and the treatment effectiveness of low BMD participants among PLHIV in Kerman, Iran.

Methods: A longitudinal study utilized dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to screen 94 PLHIV in Kerman, Iran, for low BMD.

Article Synopsis
  • RBFOX1 plays a key role in regulating transcriptional networks involved in synaptic transmission and neurodevelopment, impacting psychiatric disorder vulnerability.
  • Dysfunction of RBFOX1 affects the alternative splicing of PAC1 and disrupts the BDNF/TrkB pathway, which is vital for neuroplasticity and resilience to stress.
  • Using a zebrafish model, researchers found that RBFOX1 loss of function leads to hyperactivity and other behavioral issues, highlighting its crucial role in HPA axis regulation during development and its potential link to psychiatric disorders.

Background And Purpose: Prior work on adaptive organ-at-risk (OAR)-sparing radiation therapy has typically reported outcomes based on fixed-number or fixed-interval re-planning, which represent one-size-fits-all approaches and do not account for the variable progression of individual patients' toxicities. The purpose of this study was to determine the personalized optimal timing for re-planning in adaptive OAR-sparing radiation therapy, considering limited re-planning resources, for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).

Materials And Methods: A novel Markov decision process (MDP) model was developed to determine optimal timing of re-planning based on the patient's expected toxicity, characterized by normal tissue complication probability (NTCP), for four toxicities.

Background: Academic resilience is crucial for adolescents as it enables them to overcome challenges and achieve educational success, yet the mechanisms underlying its development remain inadequately understood. This study investigated the mediating role of academic competence in the association between perceived teaching style and academic resilience among adolescents.

Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted between June 2022 and December 2022.
