HIV-1 unspliced RNA serves two distinct functions during viral replication: it is packaged into particles as the viral genome, and it is translated to generate Gag/Gag-Pol polyproteins required for virus assembly. Recent studies have demonstrated that in cultured cells, HIV-1 uses multiple transcription start sites to generate several unspliced RNA species, including two major transcripts with three and one 5' guanosine, referred to as 3G and 1G RNA, respectively. Although nearly identical, 1G RNA is selected over 3G RNA to be packaged as the virion genome, indicating that these RNA species are functionally distinct.

Article Synopsis
  • Polarized semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) plays a crucial role in understanding the proton spin puzzle.
  • The study presents comprehensive results for polarized SIDIS at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in quantum chromodynamics, covering all relevant interactions.
  • A numerical analysis highlights the importance of NNLO corrections and demonstrates reduced scale dependence, particularly for the kinematics relevant to future electron-ion collider experiments.

Globally, besides being the second largest consumer of tobacco, India is also the second largest tobacco producer. There are very few studies that give data on economic burden of tobacco consumption. We estimated the prevalence of tobacco consumption along with monthly expenditure for the same among adult males.

Article Synopsis
  • * The research introduces a new model called NATURE, which uses a multi-level clustered structure to improve attack resistance, reduce communication load, and enhance efficiency in industrial settings.
  • * NATURE incorporates a multifactor trust estimation framework that evaluates node performance based on behavior, energy use, and communication reliability, enabling adaptive trust assessments and prioritizing recent node actions for better network dependability.

Background: This was a retrospective study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) as a strategy for weight loss in obese prospective voluntary kidney donors who were unable to achieve weight reduction through lifestyle changes.

Methods: This retrospective study included living kidney donors who underwent LSG as a strategy for weight loss in obese prospective voluntary kidney donors between 2012 and 2022. Prospective donors who were initially rejected due to obesity underwent LSG after pretransplantation evaluation.
