Objectives: There is no consensus about the performances of genotypic rules for predicting HIV-1 non-B subtype tropism. Three genotypic methods were compared for CRF01_AE HIV-1 tropism determination.
Methods: The V3 env region of 207 HIV-1 CRF01_AE and 178 B subtypes from 17 centers in France and 1 center in Switzerland was sequenced. Tropism was determined by Geno2Pheno algorithm with false positive rate (FPR) 5% or 10%, the 11/25 rule or the combined criteria of the 11/25, net charge rule and NXT/S mutations.
Results: Overall, 72.5%, 59.4%, 86.0%, 90.8% of the 207 HIV-1 CRF01_AE were R5-tropic viruses determined by Geno2pheno FPR5%, Geno2pheno FPR10%, the combined criteria and the 11/25 rule, respectively. A concordance of 82.6% was observed between Geno2pheno FPR5% and the combined criteria for CRF01_AE. The results were nearly similar for the comparison between Geno2pheno FPR5% and the 11/25 rule. More mismatches were observed when Geno2pheno was used with the FPR10%. Neither HIV viral load, nor current or nadir CD4 was associated with the discordance rate between the different algorithms.
Conclusion: Geno2pheno predicted more X4-tropic viruses for this set of CRF01_AE sequences than the combined criteria or the 11/25 rule alone. For a conservative approach, Geno2pheno FPR5% seems to be a good compromise to predict CRF01_AE tropism.

Reducing radiation dose for NN-based COVID-19 detection in helical chest CT using real-time monitored reconstruction.

Computed tomography is a powerful tool for medical examination, which plays a particularly important role in the investigation of acute diseases, such as COVID-19. A growing concern in relation to CT scans is the radiation to which the patients are exposed, and a lot of research is dedicated to methods and approaches to how to reduce the radiation dose in X-ray CT studies. In this paper, we propose a novel scanning protocol based on real-time monitored reconstruction for a helical chest CT using a pre-trained neural network model for COVID-19 detection as an expert.

It remains unknown whether the C-C motif chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) coreceptor is still the predominant coreceptor used by Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) in Botswana, where the HIV-1 subtype C predominates. We sought to determine HIV-1C tropism in Botswana using genotypic tools, taking into account the effect of antiretroviral treatment (ART) and virologic suppression. HIV-1 gp120 V3 loop sequences from 5602 participants were analyzed for viral tropism using three coreceptor use predicting algorithms/tools: Geno2pheno, HIV-1C Web Position-Specific Score Matrices (WebPSSM) and the 11/25 charge rule.

Introduction: Cytologic evaluation of pleural effusion samples plays an invaluable role in patient care. Despite this, only a few robust studies have investigated the optimal specimen volume for cytologic evaluation. It is not unusual for our laboratory to receive low-volume pleural effusion samples.

Introduction: Leprosy or Hansen's disease poses a drastic impact on the quality of life in affected patients even after successful completion of treatment. The involvement of the endocrine system in leprosy is usually insidious, silent, and under-reported, especially the testicular dysfunction.
Aims And Objectives: The present study was aimed at evaluating the abnormalities of the primary testicular hormone testosterone and the gonadotrophins LH and FSH in male patients affected with lepromatous leprosy and assessing the impact of the disease on quality of life (QOL).

It has been noticed that the efficiency of drug development has been decreasing in the past few decades. To overcome the situation, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) have been identified as new drug targets as early as 2000. PPIs are more abundant in human cells than single proteins and play numerous important roles in cellular processes including diseases.
