Human immunodeficiency virus prevention and testing strategies among men who have sex with men in the UK: the PANTHEON research programme including the SELPHI RCT by Janey Sewell, T Charles Witzel, David Dunn, Fiona Lampe, Fiona Burns, Peter Weatherburn, Sheena McCormack, Leanne McCabe, Alec Miners, Valentina Cambiano, Roger Pebody, Roy Trevelion, Nadia Hanum, Andrew Phillips, Alison Rodger

“…Modelling suggested that provision of oral tenofovir/emtricitabine pre-exposure prophylaxis increased human immunodeficiency virus testing, with anti-retroviral therapy initiation at diagnosis, and reductions in the level of condom-less sex, that each played an important role in decreasing human immunodeficiency virus incidence among men who have sex with men, and that the current human immunodeficiency virus incidence would have been double what it is if any one of them had not occurred. …”

Gender differences in use of cigarette and non-cigarette tobacco products among adolescents aged 13–15 years in 20 African countries by Israel T. Agaku, Rose Sulentic, Adriana Dragicevic, Gibril Njie, Candace K. Jones, Satomi Odani, Tina Tsafa, Joy Gwar, Constantine I. Vardavas, Olalekan Ayo-Yusuf

“…Among girls, higher levels of reported exposure to tobacco advertisement were positively associated with shisha smoking whereas perceived tobacco harm was inversely associated with current cigarette and shisha smoking. Among boys, perceived social acceptability of smoking at parties was associated with an increased likelihood of cigarette smoking (APR=2.27; 95% Cl: 1.20–4.30). …”

Global road extraction using a pseudo-label guided framework: from benchmark dataset to cross-region semi-supervised learning by Xiaoyan Lu, Yanfei Zhong, Zhuo Zheng, JunJue Wang, Dingyuan Chen, Yu Su

“…Recent advancements in satellite remote sensing technology and computer vision have enabled rapid extraction of road networks from massive, Very High-Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. However, current road extraction methods face the following limitations: 1) Insufficient availability of accurate and diverse training datasets for global-scale road extraction; 2) Costly and time-consuming manual labeling of millions of road samples; and 3) Limited generalization ability of deep learning models across diverse global contexts, resulting in better performance for regions well-represented in the training dataset, but worse performance when faced with domain gaps. …”

Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1): Consideration of Molecular Evolution, Interaction with APOL3, and Impact of Splice Isoforms Advances Understanding of Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms o... by Razi Khalaila, Karl Skorecki

“…In the absence of a consistent mechanistic explanation for differential kidney injury, we propose pursuing three interrelated avenues of investigation informed by prior epidemiological and mechanistic evidence linking them to APOL1’s cytotoxicity: (1) Molecular evolution of APOL1 haplotypes in human populations, (2) APOL1 splicing and consequent splice isoforms, (3) Interaction of APOL1 with other APOL gene family members, prioritizing APOL3. In the current study, we use reanalysis of population genetics datasets to resolve the haplotype contexts of all protein-altering APOL1 variants, uncovering previously unrecognized variant–haplotype couplings. …”

Association of plasma levels of Sestrin2 with adiposity and metabolic function indices in healthy and diabetic subjects from Qatar Biobank by Muhammad Ammar Zahid, Shahenda Salah Abdelsalam, Hicham Raïq, Hanan H. Abunada, Aijaz Parray, Abdelali Agouni

“…Conversely, in the diabetic cohort, higher Sestrin2 levels were paradoxically linked to increased triglycerides (OR: 1.57), the product of triglyceride glucose and waist circumference (OR: 1.8), body fat (OR: 1.72), waist circumference (OR: 1.82), waist-to-hip ratio (OR: 1.96) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 1.48).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that Sestrin2 may play a complex and context-dependent role in metabolic regulation, potentially serving as a protective factor in healthy individuals but contributing to metabolic dysfunction in the context of established diabetes. …”
