Human Immunodeficiency Virus Continuum of Care in 11 European Union Countries at the End of 2016 Overall and by Key Population: Have We Made Progress?

2020

Abstract Background High uptake of antiretroviral treatment (ART) is essential to reduce human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission and related mortality; however, gaps in care exist. We aimed to construct the continuum of HIV care (CoC) in 2016 in 11 European Union (EU) countries, overall and by key population and sex. To estimate progress toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 90-90-90 target, we compared 2016 to 2013 estimates for the same countries, representing 73% of the population in the region. Methods A CoC with the following 4 stages was constructed: number of people living with HIV (PLHIV); proportion of PLHIV diagnosed; proportion of those diagnosed …

FRI0158 Prostaglandin e2 and its receptor subtype ep4 are involved in ankylosing spondylitis disease progression

2018

Background Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in PTGER4 were found to be associated with Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in GWAS. PTGER4 codes for the prostaglandin-E2 receptor EP4. PGE2/EP4 interaction can affect bone formation and inflammation. Objectives We studied serum PGE2 levels and SNPs in PTGER4 in relation to spinal fusion in AS patients. We also evaluated the interaction of smoking, PGE2 and EP4 in driving IL23 production and ILC3 functions. Methods Patients diagnosed with AS using the modified New York criteria and followed prospectively using a standardised protocol, were included in this study. Biological samples including serum, gut, synovial and bone marrow (BM) samples, DNA…
