Reasons, safety and efficacy analysis for conversion of HAART to TAF/FTC/BIC among HIV-infected patients
CONCLUSION: The transition to TAF/FTC/BIC demonstrated good treatment potency. Furthermore, this study elucidates the motivations behind the adoption of TAF/FTC/BIC in real-world scenarios, providing clinical evidence supporting the stable conversion to TAF/FTC/BIC for HAART-experienced patients.PMID:38032036 | DOI:10.1097/CM9.0000000000002939 (Source: Chinese Medical Journal)

Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a potential mitochondrial off-target for gentamicin based on in silico predictions and in vitro inhibition studies
In conclusion, the use of in silico methods appeared a valuable approach in predicting PDH as a mitochondrial off-target of gentamicin. Further research is required to investigate the contribution of PDH inhibition to overall renal toxicity of gentamicin.PMID:38036072 | DOI:10.1016/j.tiv.2023.105740 (Source: Toxicology in Vitro)

Comparison of Metabolic Effects of Three Different Treatment Combinations with Retrospective Real-life Data in People Living with HIV
CONCLUSION: All treatment groups showed a decrease in HIV-RNA and an increase in CD4 at the end of one year. While CD4 elevation is lower in EFV recipients than in integrase inhibitor (INSTI) recipients, weight gain is higher in INSTI recipients. While the lipid profile was more positively affected in the 3TC/DTG group, lipid profiles were more negatively affected in the EVG/c/TAF/FTC group, although liver and kidney functions were preserved.PMID:37990894 | DOI:10.2174/011570162X266922231107094649 (Source: Current HIV Research)
