Advances in Preventing HIV Transmission Using Antiretroviral Therapy
This presentation reviewed current strategies for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV using antiretroviral therapy. It discussed initiating lifelong antiretroviral treatment for all HIV-infected pregnant women to achieve viral suppression and prevent transmission. Some remaining challenges include late diagnosis, treatment interruptions, and unclear guidance around continuing antiretrovirals postpartum. New concepts like pre-exposure prophylaxis may further reduce transmission between serodiscordant couples.
Join expert faculty members Joseph J. Eron, Jr., MD, and Kimberly Y. Smith, MD, MPH, for a review of the HIV highlights of this important annual conference.
This study evaluated 60 patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma treated with sorafenib using RECIST, modified RECIST (mRECIST), and Choi criteria to assess tumor response. mRECIST and Choi criteria identified more patients with objective responses compared to RECIST, including some considered non-responders by RECIST. Objective responses by mRECIST and Choi correlated with longer survival, suggesting they better capture treatment benefit compared to RECIST. The study concludes mRECIST and Choi criteria can reclassify some RECIST non-responders as true partial responders with significant survival benefit from sorafenib.

Marc Bourlière, MD and Graham R. Foster, FRCP, PhD presented on managing cirrhotic HCV patients. They discussed which cirrhotic patients should be treated, how to treat them, and ensuring informed decision making. Patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis should be strongly advised to undergo therapy, while more advanced cases require careful consideration. New direct-acting antiviral regimens have increased sustained virologic response rates in cirrhotic patients, but they still face higher risks of side effects and disease progression if treatment is delayed. Physicians must fully inform patients of risks from both immediate treatment and deferring treatment to facilitate shared decision making.

PB has several considerations for her antiretroviral regimen:
- She wants a single tablet regimen
- Her CD4+ count and viral load make her a good candidate for most regimens
- She has HCV genotype 1a infection
- She takes lovastatin for hyperlipidemia
The best regimen for PB would be:
- DTG/ABC/3TC as it is recommended for most patients, has few drug interactions, and does not interact with lovastatin.
Close monitoring of her liver function would be needed if she initiates HCV treatment in the future while on an antiretroviral regimen.
This document discusses contemporary management of HIV with a focus on individualizing first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). It provides an overview of recommended first-line ART regimens including integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs), discusses clinical trial data comparing different INSTI and protease inhibitor options, and considers factors in choosing among available single-tablet regimen options. It also addresses the potential roles of newer non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and tenofovir alafenamide versus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in first-line ART.

This document summarizes a presentation on recurrent ovarian cancer given by Dr. Sarah Adams. It discusses the likelihood of recurrence based on initial cancer stage, common symptoms of recurrence, methods for diagnosing recurrence including physical exam, CA125 levels, and imaging, and treatment options based on platinum sensitivity including surgery, chemotherapy regimens, targeted therapies, and clinical trials. It also describes a 2010 European study that found initiating treatment earlier based on a CA125 doubling led to longer treatment-free intervals and improved overall survival compared to delayed treatment until symptom recurrence.
This document summarizes the optimal treatment of ovarian cancer. It presents two case studies, the first involving a 59-year-old woman with stage III ovarian cancer, and the second involving a 62-year-old woman with recurrent ovarian cancer. For the first case, the document suggests that paclitaxel plus carboplatin is the optimal initial treatment. For the recurrent case, it discusses whether debulking surgery is appropriate and different chemotherapy options. The document then outlines milestones in ovarian cancer treatment and strategies for improving outcomes, including increasing optimal debulking rates, adding new drugs, dose-dense therapy, targeted therapies like bevacizumab, and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
In Silico Prescription of Anticancer Drugs Reveals Targeting OpportunitiesNuria Lopez-Bigas
Large efforts dedicated to sequence thousands of tumor genome/exomes are expected to lead to significant improvements of precision cancer medicine. However, high inter-tumor heterogeneity is a major obstacle in the road to develop an arsenal of targeted cancer drugs to treat most cancer patients. Therefore, it is critical to understand the current scope of anti-cancer targeted drugs for different tumor types in order to use them with the highest efficacy, and to define priorities for the development of new ones. We have developed a novel methodology to interpret the genomes of a cohort of tumor samples and to assess their therapeutic opportunities. Starting with somatic mutations detected across the cohort, the methodology identifies the driver genes, highlights those that dominate the clonal landscape of the tumors and determines their mode of action. It then does an in-silico prescription of approved and candidate targeted drugs to each patient in the cohort. The application of this approach to a cohort of 6795 cancer samples of 28 different tumor types showed that the fraction of patients that could benefit from prescribed FDA-approved drugs is strikingly small. Nevertheless, it improves significantly if repurposing opportunities are taken into consideration, with large differences between tumor types. In addition, we identify 80 therapeutically unexploited cancer genes, tightly bound by pre-clinical small molecules or potentially suitable for molecule binding. The resource created with this analysis is also intended to provide interpretation of newly sequenced cancer genomes and to design pan-cancer and tumor type specific sequencing panels for efficient early cancer detection and clinical insight.

This document discusses various strategies for targeted delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids for cancer gene therapy using polymeric nanoparticles. It describes how polymeric nanoparticles can be engineered with targeting ligands like transferrin and RGD peptides to actively target cancer cells. It also discusses how physicochemical properties of nanoparticles can enable passive targeting to tumors through the EPR effect. The challenges of developing safe and effective vectors and overcoming barriers to achieve gene expression are also summarized.
The role of Hysterectomy on BRCA mutation carriersValentina Cará
Hysterectomy may reduce the risk of uterine cancer for BRCA mutation carriers taking tamoxifen, by allowing estrogen-only hormone therapy and eliminating the uterine cancer risk from tamoxifen. However, the risks of hysterectomy, such as surgical complications, need to be weighed against the uncertain increased uterine cancer risk from tamoxifen. Studies have found both increased and similar uterine cancer rates in BRCA carriers taking tamoxifen compared to the general population. The decision to perform hysterectomy should be individualized based on risk factors and treatment options.
Gestational trophoblastic disease includes complete and partial hydatidiform moles, invasive moles, choriocarcinoma, and placental site trophoblastic tumors, with molar pregnancies requiring surgical evacuation and strict follow up of beta HCG levels to monitor for malignant transformation into gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Risk factors include extremes of maternal age, previous molar pregnancies, and ethnicity, while presentation is typically irregular bleeding and an enlarged uterus out of proportion to gestational age.
HBV has been associated with humans for over 1,000 years. Recent evidence from a mummified Korean child who tested positive for HBV DNA establishes that HBV has been present in humans for at least 500 years. Treatment guidelines recommend antiviral therapy for patients with chronic HBV based on HBV DNA levels and ALT levels. Tenofovir and entecavir are preferred first-line treatments due to their superior efficacy, tolerability and low resistance profiles. Long-term antiviral therapy can reduce the risk of liver decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, and death in patients with chronic HBV.
Immunotherapy: Novel Immunomodulatory TargetsPaul D. Rennert
An approach to discovering new immunotherapy targets for oncology is introduced and examples presented. New programs from biotech and pharma are discussed.
Identification of cancer drivers across tumor typesNuria Lopez-Bigas
Thousands of tumor genomes/exomes are being sequenced as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and other initiatives. This opens the possibility to have, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of mutations, genes and pathways involved in the cancer phenotype across tumor types. We have developed computational methods able to identify signals of positive selection in the pattern of tumor somatic mutations, which point to genes and pathways directly involved in the development of the tumors. We have applied these approaches to 3025 tumors from 12 different cancer types of the TCGA Pan-Cancer project, identifying 291 high-confidence cancer driver genes acting on those tumors (Tamborero et al 2013). We have also developed IntOGen-mutations (http://www.intogen.org/mutations), a novel web platform for cancer genomes interpretations, which analyses not only TCGA pan-cancer data but all mutation data from ICGC and other initiatives. The resource allows users to identify driver mutations, genes and pathways acting on more than 6000 tumors originated in 17 different cancer sites and to analyze newly sequence tumor genomes. Among the novel cancer drivers identified there are chromatin regulatory factors and splicing factors, which are emerging as important genes in cancer development and are regarded as interesting candidates for novel targets for cancer treatment. In my talk I will summarize all these recent findings.

This document discusses endometrial cancer care by a gynecologist. It provides information on the epidemiology, risk factors, pathology, staging, management after diagnosis, role of adjuvant therapies like radiation and chemotherapy, surgical approaches, who needs radiation or chemotherapy, and follow up care for endometrial cancer patients. It emphasizes evaluating patients carefully and working with gynecologic oncologists for advanced or high risk cases. Guidelines for investigation, surgery, and adjuvant therapies in endometrial cancer are also referenced.
Second line chemotherapy for ovarian cancerBasalama Ali
This document discusses second line chemotherapy options for ovarian cancer. It defines platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant disease based on platinum-free interval. For platinum-sensitive disease, retreatment with the same regimen or a combination is recommended over single agent. Bevacizumab added to chemotherapy improves outcomes for platinum-resistant disease. While further lines of therapy can improve survival, patient performance status must be considered.
A 5-year-old boy was referred to the hospital with a rapidly decreasing platelet count after 3 days of fever. Dengue virus is transmitted between humans and mosquitoes and causes a range of clinical manifestations from fever and rash to potentially fatal bleeding disorders. Secondary dengue virus infections pose a higher risk than primary infections due to antibody-dependent enhancement, where non-neutralizing antibodies from the first infection facilitate greater infection of monocytes and increased viral load during the second infection.
This document discusses retinoblastoma, a cancer that develops in the retina. It describes the genetic and non-genetic forms of the disease. The genetic form is caused by a mutation in the RB1 gene on chromosome 13. For tumor development to occur, both copies of the RB1 gene must be inactivated. The RB protein normally acts to prevent excessive cell growth by inhibiting the cell cycle. Loss of RB function contributes to unregulated cell growth and cancer development. Nearly all cancers involve disruption of the RB pathway that controls the G1 to S phase cell cycle transition.
This document provides an overview of an HIV update presentation given by Dr. Ellen Tedaldi. It discusses the epidemiology of HIV in Philadelphia, noting higher rates than national averages and most new infections occurring in heterosexuals aged 25-45. It covers screening and diagnosis guidelines, evaluation of HIV+ patients, treatment updates including the benefits of early antiretroviral therapy initiation, and ophthalmology considerations for patients with low CD4 counts. Key aspects of monitoring and management of HIV patients are summarized, including recommended initial antiretroviral regimens and the importance of adherence for long-term treatment success.
Contemporary Management of HIV. New Data From AIDS 2018hivlifeinfo
This document summarizes key findings from the AIDS 2018 conference regarding contemporary management of HIV. It describes studies showing:
1) No linked HIV transmissions occurred in over 77,000 condomless sex acts when the HIV+ partner had an undetectable viral load in the PARTNER2 study.
2) On-demand PrEP was highly effective at preventing HIV in several studies when adherence was high.
3) Early results from the ANRS Prevenir study found no difference in HIV incidence between daily and on-demand PrEP, with high adherence in both groups.

A new options for hiv prevention slides.2013Hivlife Info
This document discusses new options for HIV prevention through the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). Observational studies and the HPTN 052 clinical trial showed that ART can significantly decrease the risk of transmitting HIV, with a 96% reduction in risk seen in the HPTN 052 trial. However, real-world adherence to lifelong ART may be challenging and is not as high as was achieved in HPTN 052 through intensive support strategies. U.S. guidelines now recommend ART for all HIV-infected individuals, but limitations remain regarding how well ART prevents transmission through different risk behaviors or in situations where adherence is imperfect.

This document discusses occupational exposure management and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV. It provides an overview of guidelines and recommendations for PEP, including initiating treatment as soon as possible after exposure, preferably within 1-36 hours. PEP has been shown to reduce risk of HIV transmission by 81% based on a CDC case-control study. Proper protocols and rapid access to full PEP regimens are important for effective implementation of occupational PEP programs.

Clinical Impact of Data From the CROI 2015,SeattleHivlife Info
This document summarizes key findings from the 2015 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections regarding HIV prevention and antiretroviral therapy. Studies presented showed that immediate use of PrEP reduced HIV risk by 86% compared to deferred use in high-risk MSM. On-demand PrEP also reduced risk by 86% in another study of MSM. Combining ART and PrEP in serodiscordant couples reduced expected infections by 96%. Regarding ART, tenofovir alafenamide fumarate was found to be noninferior to tenofovir disoproxil fumarate at week 48, with less impact on renal and bone safety markers.

This document summarizes key findings from the 2015 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections regarding HIV prevention and antiretroviral therapy. Studies presented showed that immediate PrEP with TDF/FTC reduced HIV risk by 86% compared to deferred PrEP in high-risk MSM. An on-demand PrEP regimen also reduced risk by 86% compared to placebo in another study of high-risk MSM. Combining oral PrEP and ART for HIV-positive partners reduced expected HIV transmissions by 96% in serodiscordant couples. Regarding ART, studies found TAF to be noninferior to TDF at week 48 in treatment-naive patients, with smaller

A New Options for HIV Prevention.The Role of Antiretroviralshivlifeinfo
This document provides an overview of new options for HIV prevention through the use of antiretrovirals (ARVs). It summarizes evidence that early initiation of ARV therapy (ART) can reduce the risk of HIV transmission by suppressing viral load. The HPTN 052 clinical trial found that immediate ART initiation reduced HIV transmission within serodiscordant couples by 96% compared to delayed initiation. However, challenges to implementing ART for prevention include ensuring adherence to lifelong therapy when started in asymptomatic individuals and limitations in current data regarding other modes of HIV transmission.
This document discusses injectable and implantable antiretroviral therapies for HIV treatment and prevention that are currently in clinical trials or have been approved. It describes several new drug candidates, including islatravir, cabotegravir, lenacapavir, and fostemsavir. Cabotegravir has shown efficacy as both a treatment option in studies like FLAIR and ATLAS and for pre-exposure prophylaxis in HPTN 083 and 084. The document notes that long-acting injectable therapies could benefit patients struggling with adherence but also presents challenges providers may face with implementation, such as insurance coverage, administration, and patient factors.

This SlideShare presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Declaration of Helsinki, a foundational document outlining ethical guidelines for conducting medical research involving human subjects.
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
