Global, regional, and national burden of HIV/AIDS, 1990–2021, and forecasts to 2050, for 204 countries and territories: the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Austin, Carter

“…Additionally, we introduced two new metrics to our reporting: prevalence of unsuppressed viraemia (PUV), which represents the proportion of the population without a suppressed level of HIV (viral load <1000 copies per mL), and period lifetime probability of HIV acquisition, which quantifies the hypothetical probability of acquiring HIV for a synthetic cohort, a simulated population that is aged from birth to death through the set of age-specific incidence rates of a given time period. FindingsGlobal new HIV infections decreased by 21·9% (95% UI 13·1–28·8) between 2010 and 2021, from 2·11 million (2·02–2·25) in 2010 to 1·65 million (1·48–1·82) in 2021. …”

Impaired Liver Size and Compromised Neurobehavioral Activity are Elicited by Chitosan Nanoparticles in the Zebrafish Embryo Model by Haissam Abou-Saleh (497840)

“…Although no single sign of cardiotoxicity was observed upon exposure to 200 mg/L of ChNPs, as judged by heartbeat rate, the corrected QT interval (QTc, which measures the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle), maximum cardiac arrest, and ejection fraction assays, the same dosage elicited the impairment of both liver size (decreased liver size, but without steatosis and lipid yolk retention) and neurobehavioral activity (increased movement under different light conditions). …”

Multi-Agent Meta Reinforcement Learning for Reliable and Low-Latency Distributed Inference in Resource-Constrained UAV Swarms by Marwan Dhuheir (19170898)

“…To address these issues, we formulate the problem of CNN layer distribution and UAV trajectory planning (LDTP) as an optimization problem to improve latency, reliability, and resource usage. Given the complexity of the LDTP solution for managing online requests, we propose a real-time, lightweight solution using multi-agent meta-reinforcement learning. …”

Inhibition of cytochrome P450 epoxygenase promotes endothelium-to-mesenchymal transition and exacerbates doxorubicin-induced cardiovascular toxicity by Hevna Dhulkifle (14724821)

“…However, the molecular mechanism is yet unknown. Given that arachidonic acid and associated cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenase have been involved in endothelial and cardiovascular function, we aimed to examine the effect of suppressing CYP epoxygenases on DOX-induced EndMT and cardiovascular toxicity in vitro and in vivo.…”

Lead exposure of Bangladeshi women at childbearing age: Does mother's education reduce fetal risk factors? by Sharmind Neelotpol (19732277)

“…Depending on its concentration in the body, lead may cause lower IQ level, autism, abnormal pregnancy outcome, abortion, and increased involvement in crime. As lead can cross the placental barrier and affect the fetus, pregnant women, fetuses, and children are more vulnerable to lead poisoning because of rapid bone mobilization and neurodevelopment. …”
