Exhaustion of Activated CD8 T Cells Predicts Disease Progression in Primary HIV-1 Infection. by Matthias Hoffmann, Nikos Pantazis, Genevieve E Martin, Stephen Hickling, Jacob Hurst, Jodi Meyerowitz, Christian B Willberg, Nicola Robinson, Helen Brown, Martin Fisher, Sabine Kinloch, Abdel Babiker, Jonathan Weber, Nneka Nwokolo, Julie Fox, Sarah Fidler, Rodney Phillips, John Frater, SPARTAC and CHERUB Investigators

“…Expression of PD-1, Tim-3, Lag-3 and CD38 on CD8 T cells from the closest pre-therapy time-point to seroconversion was measured by flow cytometry, and correlated with surrogate markers of HIV-1 disease (HIV-1 plasma viral load (pVL) and CD4 T cell count) and the trial endpoint (time to CD4 count <350 cells/μl or initiation of antiretroviral therapy). To explore the functional significance of these markers, co-expression of Eomes, T-bet and CD39 was assessed. …”

New Approach of Blind Adaptive Equalizer Based on Genetic Algorithms by Caroline A. D. Silva, Marcelo A. C. Fernandes

“…Unlike traditional methods that rely on linear programming and suffer from local minima issues, this technique utilizes a stochastic linear programming cost function with GAs for robust optimization. The proposed method termed Blind Linear Equalizer based on genetic algorithm (BLE-GA) enhances performance by leveraging a GA’s ability to handle stochastic variables, offering rapid convergence and resilience against signal noise and inter-symbol interference. …”

Wearable multimodal sensing for quantifying the cardiovascular autonomic effects of levodopa in parkinsonism by John A. Berkebile, Omer T. Inan, Omer T. Inan, Paul A. Beach

“…However, levodopa has potential to exacerbate cardiovascular autonomic (CVA) dysfunction that may co-occur in patients. Heart rate variability (HRV) is the most common method for assessing CVA function, but broader monitoring of CVA function and levodopa effects is typically limited to clinical settings and symptom reporting, which fail to capture its holistic nature. …”
