Adverse events in older patients undergoing colonoscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND: Studies suggest that advancing age is an independent risk factor for
experiencing adverse events during colonoscopy. Yet many of these studies are limited by small …

Distinct viral reservoirs in individuals with spontaneous control of HIV-1
Sustained, drug-free control of HIV-1 replication is naturally achieved in less than 0.5% of
infected individuals (here termed ‘elite controllers’), despite the presence of a replication-…

Activation, exhaustion, and persistent decline of the antimicrobial MR1-restricted MAIT-cell population in chronic HIV-1 infection
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an evolutionarily conserved antimicrobial
MR1-restricted T-cell subset. MAIT cells are CD161 + , express a Vα7.2 TCR, are primarily …

The HIV-1 reservoir in eight patients on long-term suppressive antiretroviral therapy is stable with few genetic changes over time
The source and dynamics of persistent HIV-1 during long-term combinational antiretroviral
therapy (cART) are critical to understanding the barriers to curing HIV-1 infection. To address …
