Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of universal antiretroviral therapy (ART) on people living with HIV (PLHIV) admitted to the ICU, comparing data from 2006-2015 and 2016-2019.
- It found that more patients were on ART before admission after the recommendation was put in place, which led to fewer complications and lower ICU mortality rates (14% vs 7%).
- Key predictors of mortality included the severity of illness and complications during admission, highlighting that ART use during ICU stays offered some protection against mortality.
The genus includes several subcrustose, squamulose, small foliose, and small subfruticose species, primarily in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, we report on the first small foliose species lacking usnic acid in the genus occurring in the Holarctic. The species has been previously known as Nyl.

Decisions regarding whether to receive information about biomarker status are complicated by lack of scientific consensus regarding biomarkers as surrogate endpoints for Alzheimer's disease and how information about individual risk should be evaluated and shared with research participants. This study aims to establish stakeholder consensus regarding ethically optimal approaches to sharing individual results with ADRD research participants.

Objective: To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a Hospital at Home (HaH) enabled early transfer pathways for surgical patients.
Background: HaH serves as a safe alternative to traditional hospitalization by providing acute care to patients in their homes through a comprehensive range of hospital-level interventions. To our knowledge, no studies have been published to date reporting a large cohort of early home-transferred patients after surgery through a HaH unit.
