Background: Increasing numbers of people with HIV have received prolonged antiretroviral therapy (ART). We assessed long-term immunological and survival outcomes among people with HIV from Asia (TREAT Asia HIV Observational Database) and Australia (Australian HIV Observational Database).
Methods: People with HIV receiving ART for ≥10 years were included. Factors associated with CD4 counts in years 11-15 of ART were analyzed using repeated measures linear regression. Survival after 10 years was analyzed using competing risk regression.
Results: There were 7139 people included: 4867 (68%) from the TREAT Asia HIV Observational Database and 2272 (32%) from the Australian HIV Observational Database. Higher CD4 levels after 10 years were observed if the nadir CD4 in the first decade was higher (CD4 (cells/µL) 101-200: difference = 35, 95% CI: 18 to 51; >200: difference = 125, 95% CI: 107 to 142) compared with ≤50. The same patterns were observed in those who achieved CD4 ≥500 cells/µL, which subsequently decreased to <500 (difference = 225, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 213 to 236), or in those who achieved and maintained CD4 ≥500 cells/µL (difference = 402, 95% CI: 384 to 420), compared with always <500 in the previous decade. Previous protease inhibitor (PI)-based regimen (difference=-17, 95% CI -33 to -1) compared with no PI, and previous treatment interruptions (TI) of 14 days to 3 months and >6 months were associated with lower CD4 counts after 10 years (difference = -38, 95% CI -62 to -15 and difference=-44, 95% CI -61 to -27, respectively) compared with no TI. The mortality rate was 1.04 per 100 person-years. Virological failure was associated with subsequent mortality (subhazard ratio = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.71).
Conclusions: Sustaining high CD4 levels and minimizing TI has far-reaching benefits well beyond the first decade of ART.

Background And Aims: Gambling is a public health issue and widespread advertising of gambling products may contribute to gambling harms. Sports-related gambling advertising includes advertising around sports games or for sports betting products. This review aimed to provide the most systematic and up-to-date review of the literature on the association between sports-related gambling advertising and gambling behaviour.

Aim: Local excision (LE) for T1 rectal cancer may be recommended in those with low-risk disease, while resection is typically recommended in those with a high risk of luminal recurrence or lymph node metastasis. The aim of this work was to compare survival between resection and LE.
Method: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study set in the Canadian province of Ontario.

: Uric acid levels are linked to cardiovascular outcomes and mortality, especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, their impact across varying kidney function remains unclear. : We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model (OMOP-CDM) database from a single center.

Conventional pelvic exenteration (PE) comprises the removal of all or most central pelvic organs and is established in clinical practise. Previously, tumours involving bone or lateral sidewall structures were deemed inoperable due to associated morbidity, mortality, and poor oncological outcomes. Recently however high-complexity PE is increasingly described and is defined as encompassing conventional PE with the additional resection of bone or pelvic sidewall structures.

Objective: Our primary objective was to evaluate the oncologic outcomes of patients with abnormal p53 FIGO grade 3 (high-grade) endometrioid endometrial cancer. As secondary objectives, we determined the global prevalence of abnormal p53 in grade 3 endometrioid endometrial carcinomas and the geographical variations.
Methods: The following electronic databases were searched: PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science.
