We report a 55-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with acute onset quadriparesis. She was diagnosed to have acquired immunodeficiency syndrome 7 years ago and was on tenofovir based anti-retroviral therapy for past 10 months. As the patient also had hypophosphatemia, glucosuria and proteinuria Fanconi syndrome (FS) was suspected. She improved dramatically over next 12 h to regain normal power and also her renal functions improved over next few days. Tenofovir induced FS presenting as hypokalemic paralysis is very rare complication and is the first case reported from India.

Hepatitis B virus-induced cirrhosis: Mechanisms, global variations, and treatment advances.
World J Hepatol

Institute of Liver Diseases, Institute of Translational Medicine, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun 130061, Jilin Province, China.
We focus on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cirrhosis, global differences, and the evolution of antiviral treatment strategies. Chronic HBV (CHB) infection affects more than 250 million people globally, leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The aim of this article was to synthesize the current understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical consequences of HBV-induced cirrhosis, and explore differences in disease progression between geographic regions.

Introduction: Women with HIV (WHIV) have higher risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly in the absence of antiretroviral treatment(ART), and timing of ART may impact risk.
Methods: In IMPAACT 2010 (VESTED), 643 pregnant WHIV in 9 countries were randomized 1:1:1 to initiate ART: dolutegravir (DTG)+emtricitabine(FTC)/tenofovir alafenamide(TAF); DTG+FTC/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) or efavirenz (EFV)/FTC/TDF. We describe adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with a subsequent pregnancy during 50 weeks of postpartum follow-up: spontaneous abortion (<20 weeks), stillbirth (≥20 weeks), preterm delivery (<37 weeks) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA).

Article Synopsis
- Hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is a rare condition marked by low phosphate levels, which can occur due to genetic or acquired factors, and a case study discusses its management and prognosis when caused by specific antiviral drugs.
- A 55-year-old man with chronic hepatitis B experienced symptoms like chest pain and fatigue after switching from adefovir to tenofovir, leading to the diagnosis of drug-induced hypophosphatemic osteomalacia.
- Treatment included stopping the problematic drugs, switching to entecavir, and recommending dietary changes and supplements, which resulted in improved phosphate levels and resolution of symptoms.
Diminished placental Factor XIIIA1 expression associates with pre-conception antiretroviral treatment and preterm birth in pregnant people living with HIV.

We previously showed a link between maternal vascular malperfusion and pre-term birth (PTB) in pregnant people living with HIV (PPLH) initiating antiretroviral treatment (ART) before pregnancy, indicating poor placental vascularisation. After measuring antenatal plasma angiogenic factors to seek mechanistic insights, low levels of plasma Factor XIIIA1 (FXIIIA1) and vascular-endothelial-growth-factor (VEGF) was significantly associated with PTB at the time closest to delivery (median 34 weeks) in PPLH initiating ART before pregnancy. Knowing that FXIIIA1 is crucial for haemostasis, angiogenesis, implantation and pregnancy maintenance and that expression is found on placental macrophages (Hofbauer cells), we examined placentae at delivery from matching participants who either initiating ART before pregnancy or during gestation.

This study aimed to compare the serum lipid profiles between tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) in the long-term treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We analyzed data from treatment-naïve CHB patients administered with TDF or TAF, collected from electronic medical records between May 2017 and September 2022. Serum lipid indices, including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and their ratios (TC/HDL, LDL/HDL), were assessed at baseline, and at 48 and 96 weeks.
