Chemistry in Ukraine
Chem Rec. 2024 Feb;24(2):e202400008. doi: 10.1002/tcr.202400008. Epub 2024 Jan 29.ABSTRACTIn this special issue, we highlight recent advances in chemical research by scientists in Ukraine, as well as by their compatriots and collaborators outside the country. Besides spotlighting their contributions, we see our task in fostering global partnerships and multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary collaborations, including much-needed co-funded projects and initiatives. The three decades of the renewed Ukraine independence have seen rather limited integration of Ukrainian (chemical) science into global research communities.[1] At...

Changes in Primary HIV-1 Drug Resistance Due to War Migration from Eastern Europe
AbstractIn recent years, especially as a result of war in Ukraine, enormous movements of migration to Poland from eastern European countries have been reported, including people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). We have conducted multi-center, prospective study, which aimed to establish HIV-1 subtype and assess the presence of primary drug resistance mutations to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors in antiretroviral treatment na ïve patients. The clinical trial recruited 117 individuals during 2 years period (2020–2022). The ...
