Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) in People Living With HIV Attending Centre of Excellence in HIV Care at a Tertiary Level Teaching Hospital in North... by Ragini Ram, Anuradha Subramanian MD, MSc, FRCP, Rajeshwari K. MD, PhD, FRCPCH

“…No significant association was observed between ART status or ART regimen and MASLD in our study subjects. However, in light of the existing evidence of association of dolutegravir (DTG) with significant weight gain, and the recent inclusion of DTG in the first-line ART regimen nationally in India, robust surveillance and large-scale studies are recommended to study the contribution of DTG to MASLD in PLHIV, if any.…”

Analyzing power errors in the optical pumping system of atomic spin comagnetometers by Jiale QUAN, Ye LIU, Longyan MA, Wenfeng FAN, Wei QUAN

“…From the amplitude–frequency response, it was found that at very low frequencies of the optical pumping power error, the output of the SERF comagnetometer is directly proportional to the changes in the pumping light power. This implies that slow drifts or fluctuations in pumping power can directly affect the long-term stability of the comagnetometer, which is critical for applications requiring minimal drift over time. …”
