Brief Psychiatric Screening Questionnaire in Parkinson’s Disease by Will Lee, David R. Williams, Andrew Evans

“…BPQ questions correctly identified 88% in the second cohort of 33 patients scoring more than five on GDS and 91% who scored in the highest decile of STAI-Y2, but only 51% who scored in the highest decile of AES. Moderate to strong correlation (r = 0.464 − 0.733, p<0.004) between predicted scores based on BPQ questions and actual scores of three validated questionnaires was demonstrated. …”

HIV-1 drug resistance and genetic transmission networks among patients with sexually transmitted HIV in Ningxia, China by Jianxin Pei, Zhonglan Wu, Zhonglan Wu, Bingqian Si, Chunhua Ma, Yichang Liu, Xiaofa Ma, Wenhe Kuai, Yinhao Zhang, Yong Li

“…Some MSM and HSTs were involved in the same cluster and might act as bridges for transmission between the two populations.ConclusionOur data showed that heterosexually transmitted HIV-1 was more likely to be a drug-resistant virus, whereas MSM was more likely to contract viruses through network connection. It is strongly recommended that resistance testing be conducted before ART to improve effective treatment and reduce the spread of resistant viruses. …”
