Article Synopsis
- Key populations (KPs) in Vietnam face challenges accessing HIV services, prompting a study to evaluate the reach and effectiveness of a web-based HIV self-testing (HIVST) intervention.
- A mixed-methods approach was used, analyzing data from pilot and scale-up phases to measure participant demographics, test ordering, reporting of results, and usage of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
- The intervention reached 17,589 participants, mainly young males; however, reported test results decreased during the scale-up phase, though the proportion of females participating increased significantly.
Article Synopsis
- Infants under 6 months are not eligible for COVID-19 vaccines, but maternal vaccination during pregnancy can help protect these infants from being hospitalized due to COVID-19.
- A study found that vaccinated mothers showed a 35% effectiveness in preventing COVID-19-related hospitalizations in infants under 6 months and 54% for those under 3 months.
- Vaccinated mothers had lower rates of severe outcomes for their infants, such as intensive care unit admissions and the need for mechanical ventilation, highlighting the importance of vaccination for expectant mothers.*

HIV remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality for people living in many low-income countries. With an HIV prevalence of 12.4% among people aged over 15 years, Mozambique was ranked in 2019 as one of eight countries with the highest HIV rates in the world.

Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) receptor is an endosomal membrane protein that regulates intracellular cholesterol traffic. This protein has been shown to play an important role for several viruses. It has been reported that SARS-CoV-2 enters the cell through plasma membrane fusion and/or endosomal entry upon availability of proteases.

Although executive dysfunction is the characteristic cognitive marker of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), episodic memory deficits are relatively common, and may be present even during the prodromal disease phase. In a cohort of mutation carriers with mild behavioral and/or cognitive symptoms consistent with prodromal bvFTD, we aimed to investigate patterns of performance on an abbreviated list learning task, with a particular focus on recognition memory. We further aimed to characterize the cognitive prodromes associated with the three major genetic causes of frontotemporal dementia, as emerging evidence suggests there may be subtle differences in cognitive profiles among carriers of different genetic mutations.
