Plitidepsin, a marine-derived cyclic-peptide, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication at nanomolar concentrations by targeting the host protein eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A. Here, we show that plitidepsin distributes preferentially to lung over plasma, with similar potency against across several variants in preclinical studies. Simultaneously, this randomized, parallel, open-label, proof-of-concept study (NCT04382066) conducted 10 Spanish hospitals between May and November 2020, 46...

Abstract Background To understand the effects of frailty, geriatric syndromes, and comorbidity on quality life mortality in older adults with HIV (OAWH). Methods Cross-sectional study FUNCFRAIL multicenter cohort. The setting was outpatient HIV-Clinic. OAWH, 50 year or over were included. We recorded sociodemographic data, infection-related comorbidity, syndromes (depression, cognitive impairment, falls malnutrition), (QOL) estimated risk all-cause 5-year by VACS Index. Association frailty...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor and associated with high mortality rates. Approximately 80% of cases occur in cirrhotic livers, posing a significant challenge for appropriate therapeutic management. Adequate screening programs high-risk groups are essential early-stage detection. The extent extrahepatic spread hepatic functional reserve recognized as two influential prognostic factors. In this retrospective multicenter study, we utilized machine learning...

Abstract Background The switching strategy to long-acting cabotegravir and rilpivirine (CAB+RPV) has emerged as a standard approach for people living with HIV (PLWH), offering high efficacy, safety, convenience rates. Nevertheless, there is scarcity of data regarding older PLWH, an important growing population physiological differences arising comorbidities. Methods We conducted multicenter, non-controlled, retrospective study on virologically suppressed individuals who switched CAB+RPV....

Summary Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐specific CD8 + cell response restoration during nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUC) treatment could lead to off‐treatment HBV control in e‐antigen‐negative chronic hepatitis (CHBe(−)). Aim To predict this with variables involved T‐cell exhaustion for use as a stopping tool. Methods In NUC‐treated CHBe(−) patients, we considered functional cases HBV‐specific cells against core and polymerase epitopes able proliferate secrete type I cytokines after antigen...
