Objective: To identify medication therapy issues and resolutions and assess their relationship to antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among participants of the Patient-Centered HIV Care Model demonstration project.
Methods: Adult persons with HIV (PWH) in the United States were enrolled in the Patient-Centered HIV Care Model from August 2014 to September 2016. Pharmacists conducted regular medication therapy reviews and documented ART and non-ART issues and suggested resolutions. Adherence to ART was calculated using proportion of days covered (PDC), and the mean PDC by the number of ART issues was compared using a generalized linear model with linear trend estimation.
Results: The most common ART issue was adherence (57%). Adherence ART issues were resolved by adherence management (48%) or patient education (36%). Participants had a mean of 4.2 ART issues and 6.4 non-ART issues. PDC was 89% for those with 0 ART issues and 73% for those with ≥3 ART issues. Persons with 0 ART issues had an increase in adherence (+8%) in the postperiod, whereas those with ≥3 ART issues had a decrease in adherence (-6%) (P = 0.02) in the postperiod.
Conclusions: Identifying therapy issues could help pharmacists improve care for PWH. Because PWH are an aging population with an increased risk of comorbidities and polypharmacy, pharmacists and providers should collaborate to provide holistic, primary care solutions to address both the number and nature of therapy issues.

Understanding the function of proteins is of great significance for revealing disease pathogenesis and discovering new targets. Benefiting from the explosive growth of the protein universal, deep learning has been applied to accelerate the protein annotation cycle from different biological modalities. However, most existing deep learning-based methods not only fail to effectively fuse different biological modalities, resulting in low-quality protein representations, but also suffer from the convergence of suboptimal solution caused by sparse label representations.

Music genres classification has long been a challenging task in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) due to the intricate and diverse nature of musical content. Traditional methods have struggled to accurately capture the complex patterns that differentiate one genre from another. However, recent advancements in deep learning have presented new opportunities to tackle this challenge.

Health event prediction is empowered by the rapid and wide application of electronic health records (EHR). In the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), precisely predicting the health related events in advance is essential for providing treatment and intervention to improve the patients outcomes. EHR is a kind of multi-modal data containing clinical text, time series, structured data, etc.

Tag-aware recommender systems leverage the vast amount of available tag records to depict user profiles and item attributes precisely. Recently, many researchers have made efforts to improve the performance of tag-aware recommender systems by using deep neural networks. However, these approaches still have two key limitations that influence their ability to achieve more satisfactory results.
