The hip bone (os coxae) is the skeletal element that presents the greatest level of sexual dimorphism. Therefore, methods involving the analysis of the os coxae provide the most accurate sex estimation, and DSP2 (Diagnose Sexuelle Probabiliste v.2) is one of the most accurate tools used in this identification. The goal of this study is to apply and validate DSP2 in the identification of 103 os coxae (53 male and 50 female) belonging to a Brazilian-identified skeletal collection. Differences between sexes were statistically significant for all measurements, except for the acetabulo-symphyseal and spino-auricular lengths. From the 103 os coxae analyzed, there was a 9.43% error in male individuals and a 14% error in females. The results revealed that DSP2 can be applied to Brazilian-mixed populations with a good index of accuracy, although at a lower accuracy than other population samples. This study also clearly demonstrates that metric variation of the os coxae is extremely useful in sex estimation and reinforces the notion that pelvic sexual dimorphism is not population-specific.

Sex estimation is a critical component of the biological profile, and forensic anthropologists may use a variety of sex estimation methods depending upon the degree of completeness and state of preservation of the skeletal remains being analyzed. The innominate is widely accepted to be the most sexually dimorphic skeletal element. The Diagnose Sexuelle Probabiliste (DSP) method, which uses 10 measurements of the innominate, was introduced in 2005 and updated as DSP2 in 2017.

Objective: Adherence to antiretroviral treatment (ART) plays a key role in achieving viral suppression in people living with HIV. We aimed to quantify ART adherence in the entire French HIV-infected population treated in 2019 and to determine factors of influence.
Methods: People living with HIV were identified using HIV diagnosis according to International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision criteria, HIV-specific laboratory tests, and prescription of antiretrovirals in 2019.

Over the past 20 years, the number of new cancer diagnoses has risen steadily, partly due to the aging of the population. In 2021, 74,998 new diagnoses were recorded in Belgium. At the same time, improved screening techniques and advances in oncology treatments have increased patient survival.
