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. …”

Influence of co-current vapor flow on falling film over horizontal tube by Furqan Tahir (14429547)

“…First, the liquid load is varied between 0.02 and 0.05 kg/(m·s), and its effects on the film thickness and the wetting time are calculated, presented and discussed. Afterwards, the impact of co-current vapor flow on film distribution, wetting time, minimum thickness and its location are quantified and examined by increasing the vapor velocity up to 6 m/s with 2 m/s intervals. …”

Protein and glucose metabolism in response to hyperinsulinemia with and without hyperaminoacidemia in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus by Bassil, Maya Said

“…The presence of insulin resistance of protein in T2DM men has important implications for dietary protein recommendations as it suggests their protein requirements may be greater than current DRIs. Further investigation is warranted to address this issue in women and whether other dietary interventions known to improve insulin resistance of glucose metabolism in T2DM would modulate that of protein metabolism.…”
