, the bacteria that causes syphilis, is typically acquired through sexual contact but can also be transmitted transplacentally (through the placenta), causing congenital infection. Syphilis in pregnancy is a major contributing factor to perinatal morbidity and mortality. Untreated neonates may develop complications affecting the central nervous system, bones, joints, teeth, eyes, and skin.

Designing and employing enzyme inhibitors against viral enzymes is one of the innovative and efficient approaches to treating viral diseases. These inhibitors can disrupt the viral replication cycle by deactivating vital enzymes, thereby curbing the spread of viral infections by reducing their population. So far, inhibitors have been designed, validated, and introduced for these enzymes.

The most significant progress in addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been the development of antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, ensuring a high degree of treatment adherence is necessary to prevent resistance and disease progression. We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate adherence to ART through the calculation of the medication possession ratio (MPR) and to identify risk factors for suboptimal adherence in a cohort of HIV-positive patients receiving care at a Colombian healthcare institution across 16 cities.

Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMTs) represent a rare category of soft tissue tumors that are predominantly seen in individuals with compromised immune systems. Pathologically, EBV-SMT has malignant potential because of its unpredictable nature. These tumors can manifest at various anatomical sites or even multiple lesions in different locations.

Introduction: Molecular surveillance is an important tool for detecting chains of transmission and controlling the HIV epidemic. This can also improve our knowledge of molecular and epidemiological factors for the optimization of prevention. Our objective was to illustrate this by studying the molecular and epidemiological evolution of the cluster including the new circulating recombinant form (CRF) 94_cpx of HIV-1, detected in 2017 and targeted by preventive actions in 2018.
