Antiretroviral therapies and status of people living with HIV in Japan: An update from hospital survey and national database.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, NHO Nagoya Medical Center, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan.
No updated data on people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Japan have been available since 2015, leaving a critical gap in understanding the current status of care and treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a nationwide evaluation of the second and third goals of the "90-90-90 target" defined by UNAIDS between 2016 and 2020. The study utilized data from approximately 360 core hospitals through structured questionnaires and the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups (NDB).

PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom.
Background: Cochlear implants (CI) with off-the-ear (OTE) and behind-the-ear (BTE) speech processors differ in user experience and audiological performance, impacting speech perception, comfort, and satisfaction.
Objectives: This systematic review explores audiological outcomes (speech perception in quiet and noise) and non-audiological factors (device handling, comfort, cosmetics, overall satisfaction) of OTE and BTE speech processors in CI recipients.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review following PRISMA-S guidelines, examining Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses.

Curr Opin Oncol
December 2024
Université Libre de Bruxelles, Hôpital Universitaire de Bruxelles, Instiut Jules Bordet, Departement of Medical Oncology.
Purpose Of Review: This review evaluates by analyzing recent studies whether pathological complete response (pCR) can be used as a reliable surrogate marker for overall survival (OS) in melanoma treated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
Recent Findings: Trials like Neo-Combi, Neo-Trio and COMBI-Neo show that pCR is crucial for long-term success in targeted therapy for melanoma, while studies like OpACIN-neo and SWOG S1801 demonstrate that immunotherapy can provide durable benefits even with partial responses. Findings from NADINA and the INMC analysis highlight that immunotherapy achieves higher pathologic response rates and improved survival outcomes, offering broader benefits compared to the pCR-dependent outcomes of targeted therapy.
