Objective: To compare lipid profile changes and cardiovascular events among HIV naïve and experienced patients from a real-world cohort treated with elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate or dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine.
Method: A retrospective cohort study in HIV naïve and experienced people at a reference hospital in Spain was done. During the follow-up (March 2015-June 2019), patients were treated with elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate or dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine. Epidemiological, clinical and immunovirological variables were recorded. A statistical analysis of the lipid profile at baseline, 48 and 120 weeks after initiating the study therapy, cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, deep venous thrombosis, myocardiopathy, non-ST- segment elevation acute coronary syndrome, and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) and cardiovascular risks factors was performed. Data were analysed in naïve and experienced patients from each of the study treatments. The data was obtained from the medical history. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS v.24 software.
Results: A total of 266 and 191 patients receiving treatment with elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate and dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine were included in the study, respectively. After 120 weeks of treatment, a worsening of the lipid profile was found in the elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate group, both in naïve and experienced patients, whereas not so conspicuously observed in the dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine group. Statistically significant differences between both groups were found in experienced patients favoring dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine; in total cholesterol (204.1 ± 38.2 vs. 187.3 ± 29.4, p < 0.001) and LDL-C (126.1 ± 31.9 vs. 113.5 ± 28.5, p = 0.001) at week 48, and in total cholesterol (201.1 ± 33.4 vs. 188.7 ± 33.9, p = 0.013) and HDL-C (54.2 ± 15.6 vs. 48.3 ± 14.3, p = 0.01) at week 120. No significant differences in cardiovascular events were found, neither in naïve nor in experienced patients.
Conclusions: The lipid profile among elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate group worsened throughout the follow-up, both in naïve and experienced patients, not so remarkable in the dolutegravir/abacavir/lamivudine group. Both regimens were well tolerated, with similar rates of cardiovascular events.

Aim: To explore the holistic impact of socioeconomic and mental health inequalities on the global burden of type 2 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study used data on the incidence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and mortality of type 2 diabetes as well as DALYs attributable to risk factors during 1990-2021 from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was applied to assess the temporal trends from 1990 to 2021.

Background: McKittrick-Wheelock syndrome is an uncommon and severe disorder caused by large hypersecretory tumors located in the distal colorectal area. Excessive secretion from adenomas is an unusual clinical manifestation that leads to severe electrolyte and fluid depletion, subsequently resulting in kidney injury. Successful treatment relies on quick and cooperative decision-making for timely intervention.

Background: The left internal thoracic artery (LITA) has been widely accepted as the standard for revascularizing the left anterior descending artery during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. However, in 10-20% of cases, the LITA may lead to unsecured side branches to the chest wall, particularly the lateral costal artery (LCA), potentially resulting in postoperative chest angina.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who experienced persistent angina eight months after having undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) due to the steal phenomenon caused by a thick lateral costal artery (LCA).

Background: Involving parents in decisions about the care of their infant is common practice in most neonatal intensive care units. However, involvement is less common in neonatal research and a gap appears to exist in understanding the process of patient and public involvement. The aim of this study was to explore parents and researchers' experiences of patient and public involvement in a neonatal research project.

Background: Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease that commonly affects calves under 6 weeks old. The causative agent, Cryptosporidium parvum, has been associated with the abundance of specific taxa in the faecal microbiome during active infection. However, the long-term impact of these microbiome shifts, and potential effects on calf growth and health have not yet been explored in depth.
