Article Abstract

Alcohol drinking has long been reported to be common in people living with HIV/AIDS, having biological and behavioral impacts on the transmission, progression, and prevention of HIV/AIDS. A total of 7059 eligible articles and reviews published in English from 1990 to 2019 were extracted from the WOS. Results show an increase in publication volume, while citations peak for papers published in 2006. Content analysis reveals a wide-ranging coverage of topics, with the most popular being effects of alcohol consumption on ART adherence and outcomes, alcohol-related sexual behaviors, TB co-infection, and psycho-socio-cultural considerations in examining and designing measures targeting alcohol use and interventions to reduce alcohol dependence in PLWHA. This calls for more active engagement of governments in research and in designing and implementing interventions, as well as collaborations and knowledge transfer from high-income countries to developing counterparts, to effectively address alcohol use-related issues in PLWHA, moving toward the HIV/AIDS eradication target.

Metagenomic complexity of high, seasonal transmission of Plasmodium spp. in asymptomatic carriers in Northern Sahelian Ghana.

Commun Med (Lond)

September 2025

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Bio21 Institute and The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.

Background: Mixed-species, mixed-strain plasmodia infections are known to occur in humans in malaria endemic areas. It may be surprising that to date, the extent of this complexity has not been systematically explored in high-burden countries of sub-Saharan Africa, especially in the reservoir of asymptomatic infections in all ages, which sustains transmission.

Methods: Here we take a metagenomic lens to these infections by sampling variable blood volumes from 188 afebrile residents living in high, seasonal transmission in Northern Sahelian Ghana.

Background: The long-acting monoclonal antibody nirsevimab and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines became available for prevention of severe RSV-associated disease in 2023. While clinical trials showed good efficacy and safety, their restrictive inclusion criteria, small sample sizes and short follow-up limit generalisability. We aimed to summarise real-world evidence on the effectiveness and safety of nirsevimab, RSV maternal vaccine and RSV vaccines for older adults.

Comparison of resistance training among individuals living with diabetes, prediabetes, and without diabetes: 2017-2023 BRFSS.

Prim Care Diabetes

September 2025

Department of Health Sciences and Human Performance Department, College of Natural and Health Sciences, The University of Tampa, Tamp, FL, USA. Electronic address:

Aim: This study aims to compare the weekly resistance training (RT) frequency between people with diabetes, prediabetes, and without diabetes.

Methods: A total of 536,703 participants from 2017 to 2023 Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System were included in the analysis. Unadjusted and adjusted Poisson regression was performed to compare weekly resistance training frequency among participants with different diabetes statuses (without diabetes, prediabetes, and with diabetes).

Background: People living with and dying from multiple long-term health conditions are high users of healthcare services. Unscheduled care, the unplanned use of healthcare services, rises dramatically in the last year of life, likely reflecting unmet needs.

Aim: To characterise Scotland-based decedents with multiple long-term health conditions in their last year of life and explore the relationship between characteristics and unscheduled care usage over that year.
