We evaluated the quality of care provided by the nursing team within specialized care services (SCS) from the perspective of persons with HIV (PWH). A cross-sectional study was conducted in 25 SCS selected by a single-stage cluster sampling in 21 municipalities in Brazil. Systematic sampling was performed between October 2019 and March 2020 in the reception areas of SCS locations to choose the study population ( N = 377). The adapted and validated Quality of Care Through the Patient's Eyes-HIV (QUOTE-HIV) questionnaire was used to measure the quality of perceived care, and the Mann-Whitney test to compare the scores between men and women. Of the 377 PWH, most were women (57.71%), Black or Brown (85.9%), heterosexual (67.1%), and cisgendered (96.0%); the mean age was ≥30 years (76.1%). Users' evaluation of the care provided by SCS according to scores of importance and performance of the QUOTE-HIV instrument ranged from 5.60 to 8.95 and 0.03 to 0.76, respectively. The perception of PWH about the quality of care provided by the nursing team in SCS suggests that there are opportunities to improve.

Microbiome profiling tools rely on reference catalogues, which significantly affect their performance. Comparing them is, however, challenging, mainly due to differences in their native catalogues. In this study, we present a novel standardized benchmarking framework that makes such comparisons more accurate.

Background: The effects of physical activity (PA) across different domains and intensities on depressive symptoms remain inconclusive. Incorporating the community-built environment (CBE) into longitudinal analyses of PA's impact on depressive symptoms is crucial.

Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of PA at different intensities-low-intensity PA (eg, walking activities) and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (eg, activities requiring substantial effort and causing faster breathing or shortness of breath)-across leisure-time and occupational domains on depressive symptom trajectories among middle-aged and older adults.
