CD4 rate of increase is preferred to CD4 threshold for predicting outcomes among virologically suppressed HIV-infected adults on antiretroviral therapy. by Sol Aldrete, Jeong Hoon Jang, Kirk A Easley, Jason Okulicz, Tian Dai, Yi No Chen, Maria Pino, Brian K Agan, Ryan C Maves, Mirko Paiardini, Vincent C Marconi

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>Using a complex JM approach, CD4 slope and CD4/CD8 ratio slope the first two years after ART initiation were associated with lower rates of the composite outcome. Moreover, the uniformity observed in the mean CD4 slope regardless of the cohort suggests a common CD4 response pattern independent of age or CD4 nadir. …”

Robot assisted sentinel lymph node biopsy using indocyanine green combined with carbon nanoparticles staining improved detection rates in breast cancer by Qinbo Wang, Qingyu Yang, Zuxiao Chen, Zongyan Li, Xiaoyan Fu, Yunxiang Luo, Yonghai Guo, Haiyan Li

“…Notably, CNSI staining was negative in two cases within the ICG + CNSI group, while one patient exhibited a false-negative staining pattern. Five instances of effusion and one case involving bleeding were reported; no significant differences emerged concerning postoperative complications, including breast drainage or hospital stay length, significant differences arose within numerical pain rating scale scores when comparing robot-assisted SLN biopsy positive versus negative groups (p = 0.021 < 0.05). …”
