Client Perspectives on the Development of a Rapid PrEP Initiative at a Sexual Health Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Uptake of PrEP remains suboptimal, especially in the Southern United States. Same-day or "Rapid PrEP Initiatives" (RPIs) in sexual health centers (SHCs) could facilitate access and overcome barriers to PrEP. We studied the adaptation of an RPI from Denver, Colorado to an SHC in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Diffusion, viscosity, and linear rheology of valence-limited disordered fluids.

We numerically investigate the dynamics and linear rheology of disordered systems made of patchy particles, focusing on the role of valence, temperature, and bonding mechanism. We demonstrate that the dynamics is enslaved to bonding, giving rise to an activated behavior at low temperatures. By independently computing the diffusion constant and the viscosity from the simulations, we also confirm the validity of the Stokes-Einstein relation in valence-limited systems, with two caveats: (i) the diffusion constant requires a finite-size correction, at least at the intermediate density we investigate, and (ii) there is the onset of a breakdown that appears at the lowest temperatures considered.

Phylogenetic relationships among species of Tigriopus (Multicrustacea: Copepoda: Harpacticoida) with comments on its biogeography.

Here we present some hypothetical phylogenetic relationships and the evolutionary history of the harpacticoid copepod genus Tigriopus Norman, 1869 using morphological data. Cladistic analyses were performed with 21 morphological characters, including 15 ingroup and eight outgroup species. Inferred topology from Bayesian inference supported the monophyletic status of the genus, and revealed two main evolutionary lineages.

Lepeophtheirus mondacola sp. nov. (Copepoda; Caligidae) parasitic on the shortjaw leatherjacket Oligoplites refulgens (Teleostei; Carangidae) in the Gulf of California, Mexico.

A new species of parasitic copepod, Lepeophtheirus mondacola sp. nov. (Siphonostomatoida; Caligidae), is described based on female and male specimens obtained from the shortjaw leatherjacket Oligoplites refulgens (Actinopterygii; Perciformes; Carangidae), captured in the southeastern Gulf of California off northwestern Mexico.

The Heck reaction of allylic alcohols catalysed by an N-heterocyclic carbene-Pd(ii) complex and toxicity of the ligand precursor for the marine benthic copepod .

The palladium-catalysed reaction of aryl halides and allylic alcohols is an attractive method for obtaining α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, which represent key intermediates in organic synthesis. In this context, a 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene (aNHC)-based palladium(ii) complex formed has been found to be a selective catalyst for the syntheses of building blocks from the corresponding aryl halides and allylic alcohols, with yields ranging from 50% to 90%. The lack of toxic effects of the ligand precursor (1,2,3-triazolium salt) of the palladium(ii) complex for the harpacticoid copepod allowed us to contrast the efficiency of the catalytic system with the potential impact of the principal waste chemical in global aquatic ecosystems, which has not been previously addressed.

The genus (Harpacticoida, Canthocamptidae): a reappraisal, with proposal of a new subfamily, a new genus, and a new species.

A new species of closely related to was found in sediment samples taken from a polluted estuarine system in north-western Mexico. The genus was relegated to in 1986, and this finding prompted us to evaluate the current taxonomic position of the genus within the Canthocamptidae. The latter has been subdivided in several, seemingly unnatural subfamilies in the past to better understand the relationships between its constituent taxa.

Evaluation of an HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Referral System: From Sexual Health Center to Federally Qualified Health Center Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Clinic.

Innovative delivery strategies are needed to facilitate access to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The objective of this study was to evaluate a navigator-facilitated PrEP referral process from a sexual health center (SHC) to a co-located PrEP clinic as an alternative delivery model. Electronic health record (EHR) data were used to calculate the number of clients seen at the SHC in 2019.

Questionnaire to Assess Life Impact of Treatment by Intravitreal Injections (QUALITII): Development of a patient-reported measure to assess treatment burden of repeat intravitreal injections.

Objective: To understand patient burden of treatment of repeated intravitreal injections (IVI) in the management of exudative retinal diseases.

Methods And Analysis: Participants were sampled from a large urban retina specialty practice in Houston, Texas, USA, based on history of ongoing receipt of IVI. The 50-item Questionnaire to Assess Life Impact of Treatment by Intravitreal Injections questionnaire was developed to evaluate the patient experience including discomfort, anxiety, inconvenience and satisfaction.

A new species of Robertgurneya Apostolov Marinov, 1988, with an illustrated record of R. rostrata (Gurney, 1927), an amended genus diagnosis and comments on R. soyeri (Apostolov, 1974) and R. spinulosa (Sars, 1911) (Harpacticoida: Miraciidae).

Quarterly sampling campaigns were carried out during year 2019 to study the effects of organic pollution on the diversity and abundance of meiofauna from a polluted coastal system in north-western Mexico. Amongst harpacticoids, the family Miraciidae Dana 1846 was by far the most abundant and diverse, and several new species and the proposal of some new genera of Stenheliinae Brady 1880 and Diosaccinae Sars 1906 will be published elsewhere. Amongst the Diosaccinae, the genus Robertgurneya Apostolov Marinov 1988 was one of the most abundant.

On some new species of Stenheliinae Brady, 1880 (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Miraciidae) from north-western Mexico, with the proposal of gen. nov.

Quarterly sampling campaigns during 2019 to study the diversity of meiofauna in a polluted estuary in northwestern Mexico revealed the subfamily Stenheliinae Brady, 1880 as one of the most important contributors to the diversity of benthic harpacticoids. Two new stenheliin species are described here. One of them was assigned to the, so far, monotypic genus defined by the autapomorphic modified proximal outer spinules on the sigmoid process of the male P2ENP2.

Fully coupled fluid-electro-mechanical model of the human heart for supercomputers.

In this work, we present a fully coupled fluid-electro-mechanical model of a 50th percentile human heart. The model is implemented on Alya, the BSC multi-physics parallel code, capable of running efficiently in supercomputers. Blood in the cardiac cavities is modeled by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) scheme.

New species of Sars, 1909 and Soyer, 1964 from the deep Gulf of California (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Argestidae).

To date, three species of the family Ancorabolidae, three species of the family Argestidae, and one species of the family Rhizothrichidae are known from the deep sea of the Gulf of California. The descriptions of two new species, and collected from the Southern Trough of Guaymas Basin at 1440 m and 1642 m depths, respectively, are presented herein. The closest relatives of these two species, Por, 1964 and Soyer, 1964 are known from the Mediterranean, but some relatives have been reported also from the southern Atlantic.

New species of the genus Sars, 1909 from the deep Gulf of California (Copepoda, Harpacticoida).

Investigations on the effects of the oxygen minimum zone on the distribution, abundance, and diversity of deep-sea benthic and pelagic fauna of the Gulf of California and Eastern Tropical Pacific has received attention recently. However, very little is known about the diversity of deep-sea benthic harpacticoids from this region, and only three species, Gómez & Conroy-Dalton, 2002, Gómez & Díaz, 2017 and Gómez & Díaz, 2017, have been described so far. The genus Sars, 1909 is one of the most common and abundant genera of deep-sea harpacticoids.

A new species of Chondracanthus (Cyclopoida: Chondracanthidae) parasitic on deep-sea Dibranchus spongiosa(Lophiiformes: Ogcocephalidae) from the Eastern Central Pacific.

A total of 228 sampling stations were visited for benthic fauna during a series of oceanographic cruises in the Gulf of California, west coast of the Baja California Peninsula, and Eastern Central Pacific from year 1991 to 2014. Among others, three fish species of the genus Dibranchus were caught in 28 stations. Of these, D.

Redescription of albuquerquensis and (Harpacticoida: Canthocamptidae ), and description of two new species from the US Virgin Islands and Bonaire.

The history surrounding the identity of Cletocamptus albuquerquensis (Herrick, 1894) and C. dominicanus Kiefer, 1934 is very complex. This complexity has been exacerbated by incomplete, and in some cases erroneous, original descriptions of these two species.

On some new species of Ancorabolidae Sars, 1909 from the Gulf of California: the genera Sars, 1909, and Conroy-Dalton, 2003 (Crustacea, Copepoda, Harpacticoida).

Two new species of two genera of the family Ancorabolidae, and , found at 1642 m and 1759 m depth, respectively, in the Southern Trough of Guaymas Basin, are described. was attributed to that genus by a series of character states of which the lack of dendroid dorsal processes on the P6-bearing somite and the presence of such processes on the first abdominal somite were definitive. This species was observed to be very close to Conroy-Dalton, 2003 from the San Diego Trough, and can be separated by a number of traits of which the elongated sensilla-bearing dorsal tubercles on the second abdominal somite in the new species was definitive.

Euryphorus suarezi n. sp. (Copepoda: Caligidae) parasitic on an elasmobranch from the Gulf of Mexico.

Currently, the caligid genus Euryphorus Milne Edwards, 1840 contains two valid species. A new species, Euryphorus suarezi, is described based on adult females and males collected from the spotted eagle ray Aetobatus narinari (Euphrasen) (Elasmobranchii: Myliobatidae), captured off Campeche and Tabasco, Mexico (southern coast of the Gulf of Mexico). The new species is mainly distinguished from its congeners by the absence of dorsal plates, the presence of postantennal process, bifurcated maxillule, maxilliped with slender corpus, and leg 4 with 3-segmented endopod.
