Care interruptions and mortality among adults in Europe and North America.
AIDS
August 2024
Population Health Sciences, University of Bristol, UK.
Objective: Interruptions in care of people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) are associated with adverse outcomes, but most studies have relied on composite outcomes. We investigated whether mortality risk following care interruptions differed from mortality risk after first starting ART.
Design: Collaboration of 18 European and North American HIV observational cohort studies of adults with HIV starting ART between 2004 and 2019.

Quantitative imaging biomarkers of liver disease measured by using MRI and US are emerging as important clinical tools in the management of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Because of their high accuracy and noninvasive nature, in many cases, these techniques have replaced liver biopsy for the diagnosis, quantitative staging, and treatment monitoring of patients with CLD. The most commonly evaluated imaging biomarkers are surrogates for liver fibrosis, fat, and iron.

Background: Informed decision aids provide information in the context of the patient's values and improve informed decision making (IDM). To overcome barriers that interfere with IDM, our team developed an innovative iPad-based application (aka "app") to help patients make informed decisions about colorectal cancer screening. The app assesses patients' eligibility for screening, educates them about their options, and empowers them to request a test via the interactive decision aid.

J Chem Phys

Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40506-0055, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A reaction involving cerium (Ce) atoms and propene was studied using a pulsed laser vaporization method, revealing the formation of several cerium-hydrocarbon species through bond activation.
- Time-of-flight mass spectrometry and advanced techniques like MATI spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations were used for characterization of these species, specifically Ce(CH) where n = 4 and 6.
- Ce(CH) is identified as an inserted species in which cerium attaches to a specific bond in propene, and both observed species share a similar structure with unique electron configurations in their neutral and ionized forms.
Anterior and Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion With Supplemental Interspinous Process Fixation: Outcomes from a Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study.
Int J Spine Surg
April 2018
University of California Davis Health System, Sacramento, California.
Background: Rigid interspinous process fixation (ISPF) has received consideration as an efficient, minimally disruptive technique in supporting lumbar interbody fusion. However, despite advantageous intraoperative utility, limited evidence exists characterizing midterm to long-term clinical outcomes with ISPF. The objective of this multicenter study was to prospectively assess patients receiving single-level anterior (ALIF) or lateral (LLIF) lumbar interbody fusion with adjunctive ISPF.

J Chem Phys

Department of Chemistry, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky 40506-0055, USA.
La atom reactions with 1-butene, 2-butene, and isobutene are carried out in a laser-vaporization molecular beam source. The three reactions yield the same La-hydrocarbon products from the dehydrogenation and carbon-carbon bond cleavage and coupling of the butenes. The dehydrogenated species La(CH) is the major product, which is characterized with mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy and quantum chemical computations.

Background: With advances in the understanding of histopathology on outcome, accurate meningioma grading becomes critical and drives treatment selection. The 2000 and 2007 WHO schema greatly increased the proportion of grade II meningiomas. Although associations with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) have been independently validated, interobserver concordance has not been formally assessed.

J Phys Chem B

Department of Chemistry, University of Louisville, Louisville, Kentucky 40292, United States.
Complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) computations followed by the second-order perturbation theory have been applied to investigate the electronic properties of a structural mimic of the reactant complex formed in the catalytic cycle of cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase (MetH). Two different structural models have been employed to analyze the reaction complex between methylcobalamin (MeCbl) and homocysteine (Hcy). The first model, referred to as the small model (SM), is based on a truncated corrin ring with inner conjugated macrocycle only and has symmetry constrain with respect to methylthiolate.
