HIV transmission risk significantly increases at HIV viral load (VL) >1500 copies/mL. We sought to determine the percentage of person-time spent with VL >1500 copies/mL (pPT >1500) and the associations of demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors and this outcome among persons with HIV receiving care. A retrospective analysis of data from clients enrolled in the Ryan White Program from 2017 to 2019 was performed. We assessed pPT >1500 in HIV care by utilizing consecutive VL pairs and calculating the length of time between each pair and the corresponding time spent for the observation period. The association between pPT >1500 and selected client characteristics were analyzed using a random-effects zero-inflated negative binomial model. Among the 6390 clients, 42% were aged 50 or older, 52% MSM, and 59% Hispanic. Overall, 7.5% of clients spent, on average, 27.4 days per year at substantial risk of transmitting HIV. Younger age, AIDS diagnosis, and reported drug use in the preceding 12 months were associated with higher pPT >1500. Tailored interventions should be implemented to meet the unique HIV needs of groups with consistent viremia to significantly minimize transmission risk.

Measurement of tepotinib by UPLC‒MS/MS and its interaction with naringenin in rats.
BMC Chem

The People's Hospital of Lishui, Lishui, Zhejiang, 323000, China.
We established a method based on ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC‒MS/MS) to quantitatively measure tepotinib, which was validated as acceptable and used in the evaluation of food-drug interactions between tepotinib and naringenin in rats. We used pemigatinib as the internal standard (IS), and acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution constituted the mobile phase.

Article Synopsis
- * It involved searching for various medical imaging PowerPoint files online, assessing them for the presence of Protected Health Information (PHI).
- * Results showed that while there's a decline in the percentage of PowerPoint files containing PHI over the last 15 years, significant concerns still remain, especially with specific imaging types like chest X-rays and post-operative CT scans.

Sea lice infestations can pose significant challenges in the aquaculture sector, affecting fish health and overall production. In the search for effective and eco-friendly solutions, hydrogen peroxide bath treatment has been considered as one of the promising methods. This is the first study to evaluate the field efficacy of hydrogen peroxide bath technique against sea lice infestation on cage-cultured snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii).

Objective: To examine trends in time spent viremic and initiation into antiretroviral treatment (ART) among persons newly diagnosed with HIV in San Francisco.
Methods: Using HIV surveillance data, we included persons diagnosed with HIV during 2012-2020, a San Francisco resident at HIV diagnosis, alive 12 months after HIV diagnosis, and had ≥2 viral load tests within 12 months after diagnosis. Percent person-time spent (pPT) >200, pPT >1500, and pPT >10,000 copies per milliliter was calculated during the 12 months after HIV diagnosis.
