Adjudicated morbidity and mortality outcomes by age among individuals with HIV infection on suppressive antiretroviral therapy. by Christopher J Miller, Jason V Baker, Alison M Bormann, Kristine M Erlandson, Katherine Huppler Hullsiek, Amy C Justice, Jacqueline Neuhaus, Roger Paredes, Kathy Petoumenos, Deborah Wentworth, Alan Winston, Julian Wolfson, James D Neaton, INSIGHT SMART Study Group, ESPRIT Study Group

“…Rates of serious non-AIDS which include cardiovascular disease, end-stage renal disease, decompensated liver disease, and non-AIDS cancer, and other serious (grade 4) adverse events were determined, overall and by age, over a median follow-up of 4.3 years for 3,570 participants with CD4+ cell count ≥300 cells/mm³ who were taking antiretroviral therapy and had an HIV RNA level ≤500 copies/mL. Cox models were used to examine the effect of age and other baseline factors on risk of a composite outcome of all-cause mortality, AIDS, or serious non-AIDS.…”

SUBSTANTIATION FOR PRINCIPLES OF AESTHETIC STOMATOLOGY by I.K. Lutskaya

“…In case of cavity with a distinctly complex configuration, with a bottom and several sides included, minimization of the negative consequences of polymer shrinkage is achieved through the simultaneous application of one layer of the composite on to no more than two surfaces. One of the methods employed suggests the use of herringbone pattern, another one is the lateral layering. …”

From glucose to histone modification: sex-specific metabolic responses to ketogenic therapy in VM/Dk mice by Sara E. Moss, Angela M. Poff, Apryl Moss, Janine M. DeBlasi, Dominic P. D’Agostino

“…However, preclinical studies often combine sexes or focus exclusively on one sex, including research utilizing syngeneic cancer models. Considering sex differences is particularly important in metabolic studies, as males and females exhibit distinct body compositions, hormone profiles, and metabolic demands.MethodsThis study evaluates sex-specific metabolic responses to ketogenic therapies in VM/Dk mice, including assessments of glucose metabolism, ketone metabolism, and histone modifications linked to metabolism.ResultsOur findings reveal significant sex differences in body weight, circulating metabolites, blood insulin levels, and histone modification profiles.DiscussionWe demonstrate that male and female VM/Dk mice respond differently to ketogenic therapies, with responses varying based on the specific type of therapy applied.…”
