Introduction: Prior studies have shown human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be a risk factor for early revision following THA, but little data exists looking at long-term implant survivorship. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the 10-year cumulative incidence rate for revision following THA in patients with and without HIV.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis of patients with HIV undergoing elective THA was conducted using a national database.

Antibodies that target the gp120-gp41 interface of the HIV-1 envelope (Env) trimer comprise a commonly elicited category of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). Here, we isolate and characterize VRC44, a bNAb lineage with up to 52% neutralization breadth. The cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of antibody VRC44.

The growing demand for medical professionals in undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate medical education to attain comprehensive health training has not abated and necessitates the development of curricula encompassing relevant issues pertaining to clinical practice as well as the educational context. Therefore, diversity in learning activities should be embedded in a teaching curriculum to achieve the required competencies. This includes considering at least the following during the design and analysis of a teaching curriculum: Harden's ten questions to be posed when designing a curriculum; Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) competency framework which has been approved by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada; 21st-century skills; Diana Laurilliard's conversational framework; and general quality measures to improve diversity in a teaching curriculum.
