Circulating microRNAs in sera correlate with soluble biomarkers of immune activation but do not predict mortality in ART treated individuals with HIV-1 infection : a case control study

- 14 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: No associations with mortality were found with any circulating miRNAs studied and these results cast doubt onto the effectiveness of circulating miRNA as early predictors of mortality or the major underlying diseases that contribute to mortality in participants treated for HIV-1 infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunological considerations for COVID-19 vaccine strategies.

TL;DR: The immunological principles that need to be taken into consideration in the development of COVID-19 vaccine strategies are discussed and their strengths and potential shortfalls are examined, and inferences about their chances of success are made.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy.

TL;DR: Antibiotic treatment is effective in reducing the risk of pyelonephritis in pregnancy and an apparent reduction in preterm delivery is consistent with current theories about the role of infection in pre term birth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isoniazid for preventing tuberculosis in non-HIV infected persons.
