Switching to dual ART noninferior to continuing triple ART in maintaining viral suppression among PLWH

12 Aug 2025 by

Switching to maintenance dual antiretroviral therapy (ART) with DTG+3TC* or ATV/r+3TC** was noninferior to continuing triple current ART with TDF+3TC+EFV*** or DTG+3TC+TDF⁺ in maintaining virologic suppression for up to 96 weeks among people living with HIV (PLWH), according to the MODERATO trial presented at IAS 2025.

Diet linked to cognitive function in older adults via gut microbiota

12 Aug 2025 by

Greater adherence to dietary patterns that are beneficial to gut microbiota is associated with better cognitive function in older adults, according to data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). When these findings were validated in an independent Hong Kong osteoporosis cohort, higher dietary fibre intake significantly correlated with higher cognitive scores in older adults in Hong Kong.

Adiposity levels may predict CRC risk

11 Aug 2025

High adiposity levels are associated with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), suggest the results of a systematic review. However, standardization is necessary to improve understanding of the link between CRC and adiposity to enable comparisons across papers.
