TL;DR: From an analysis of the effect of obesity on longevity, it is concluded that the steady rise in life expectancy during the past two centuries may soon come to an end.

TL;DR: Candida bloodstream infection is associated with high mortality, despite timely receipt of appropriate antifungal therapy, despite the impact of timing on patient survival.

TL;DR: Results suggest that early viral kinetics may predict lack of response after only 24’h of treatment initiation and indicate a strong link between the degree of viral load reduction during the first phase, and the subsequent 2nd phase decline slope.

TL;DR: Estimates of future life expectancy strongly influence public policy on age-based entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, and the authors believe that current trends in life expectancy are likely to increase.

TL;DR: In a rather short time, the study of viral kinetics has improved our understanding of HCV infection, especially in relation to treatment response as discussed by the authors, which has been used to challenge the way we treat patients, understand the difference between nonresponders and responders, gain insight into possible mechanisms of treatment resistance, and predict treatment response.
