Increasing survival time decreases the cost-effectiveness of using "test & treat to eliminate HIV epidemics by Bradley G. Wagner, Brian J. Coburn, Sally Blower

“…Treating HIV-infected individuals reduces their viral load, consequently increasing their survival time and decreasing their infectivity.It has been proposed that universal testing and treatment (i.e., universal ``test & treat'') could lead to HIV elimination and would be extremely cost-effective.It is now being debated whether to use a universal ``test and treat'' approach in the ``real-world'' as a prevention strategy to control HIV epidemics.However current modeling predictions of the impact, and cost-effectiveness, of universal ``test & treat'' strategies are based on an unrealistically short survival time for treated individuals.Here we use mathematical modeling and a longer, more realistic, survival time.We model the potential impact of a universal ``test & treat'' strategy in South Africa.Our results show that increasing the length of the survival time on treatment, although beneficial to individuals, reduces the probability of eliminating HIV and decreases the cost-effectiveness of using universal ``test & treat'' strategies.Therefore our results show that individual-level benefits and public health benefits will conflict when using ``test & treat'' strategies to reduce HIV transmission.…”

Model Test and Numerical Simulation Analysis on Freezing Effect of Different Freezers in Freeze-Sealing Pipe-Roof Method by Haibing Cai, Yujie Liu, Rongbao Hong, Mengkai Li, Zongjin Wang, Hanglong Ding

“…The numerical simulation results indicate that the temperature cloud diagram of SCF at 42 h is butterfly-shaped after opening the limit pipes, and the temperature cloud diagrams of ESF and EDCF are the same as the model test results. However, the processing method of ESF is relatively complex, which adopts arc angle steel welding requiring a lot of reverse welding and high welding quality. …”

In Vitro Contracture Test Results and Anaesthetic Management of a Patient with Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy for Cardiac Transplantation by Frank Schuster, Carsten Wessig, Christoph Schimmer, Stephan Johannsen, Marc Lazarus, Ivan Aleksic, Rainer Leyh, Norbert Roewer

“…We reported an uneventful general anaesthesia using total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for cardiac transplantation in a 19-year-old woman suffering from EDMD. In vitro contracture test results of two pectoralis major muscle bundles of the patient suggest that exposition to triggering agents does not induce a pathological sarcoplasmic calcium release in the lamin A/C phenotype. …”
