Abstract

Abacavir-lamivudine (ABC/3TC) and tenofovir-emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) represent in the guidelines of several countries, including Italy and United States, the preferred nucleoside/nucleotide backbones of antiretroviral regimens. We assessed their profile in pregnancy using data from a national observational study.Laboratory measures (CD4, HIV-RNA, lipid profile, glucose, hemoglobin, and alanine transferase) and pregnancy outcomes (preterm delivery, low birthweight, nonelective cesarean section, birthweight Z-score, congenital defects, HIV transmission, maternal weight gain, and pregnancy complications) were compared after prenatal exposure to ABC/3TC or TDF/FTC.The study evaluated 913 pregnancies (ABC/3TC: 252; TDF/FTC: 661). At entry in pregnancy, women on TDF/FTC were older (33.6 vs. 32.4 years, P = 0.005), less frequently on treatment (66.9% vs. 80.2%, P0.001), and had lower CD4 counts (475/mm vs. 533/mm, P = 0.003) and higher plasma HIV-RNA levels (2.48 vs. 2.22 log10 copies/mL, P = 0.003). Women on ABC/3TC had more commonly hypertension/nephropathy (5.2% vs. 2.0%, P = 0.013). No major differences were observed in the main pregnancy outcomes and in rates of undetectable HIV-RNA at third trimester. In a subgroup analysis that evaluated at third trimester only cases with regular 3-drug treatment during pregnancy, women on TDF/FTC had lower hemoglobin levels (median: 11.1 vs. 11.8 g/dL, P = 0.002) and women on ABC/3TC had higher levels of total cholesterol (median: 230 vs. 216 mg/dL, P = 0.023) and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (133 vs. 111 mg/dL, P = 0.030).In this study, use of TDF/FTC and ABC/3TC in pregnancy was associated with similar pregnancy outcomes and with some differences in laboratory measures that might guide physicians' prescriptions in mothers with hematologic or metabolic risk factors.

Abstract

SUMMARYYoung pregnant women with HIV may be at significant risk of unplanned pregnancy, lower treatment coverage, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. In a large cohort of pregnant women with HIV in Italy, among 2979 pregnancies followed in 2001–2016, 9·0% were in women P< 0·001). Younger women had a lower rate of planned pregnancy (23·2%vs.37·7%, odds ratio (OR) 0·50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0·36–0·69), were more frequently diagnosed with HIV in pregnancy (46·5%vs.20·9%, OR 3·29, 95% CI 2·54–4·25), and, if already diagnosed with HIV before pregnancy, were less frequently on antiretroviral treatment at conception (vs.99·3%), with no differences in rate of HIV viral suppression at third trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The data show that young women represent a growing proportion of pregnant women with HIV, and are significantly more likely to have unplanned pregnancy, undiagnosed HIV infection, and lower treatment coverage at conception. During pregnancy, antiretroviral treatment, HIV suppression, and pregnancy outcomes are similar compared with older women. Earlier intervention strategies may provide additional benefits in the quality of care for women with HIV.

69. Langmuir Films of n-Alkanethiol-Capped Gold Nanoparticles and n-Alkanes: Interfacial Mixing Scenarios Assessed by X-ray Reflectivity and Grazing Incidence Diffraction

Author

Raveendran, A., DeWolf, C., Bu, W., McWhirter, S., Meron, M., Lin, B., and Meli, M.-V.

Abstract

A series of n-alkanes cospread with alkanethiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were studied as Langmuir monolayers by synchrotron X-ray reflectivity and diffraction. Tetradecanethiol capped gold nanoparticles with core diameters close to 2 nm were used to make films at 20 °C, below the ligand order–disorder temperature. A variety of n-alkane chain lengths (Cn= CnH2n+2, where n= 12, 15 and 16) were tested to assess the interfacial assembly of nanoparticle films as a result of different mixing scenarios indicated in their surface pressure versus area isotherms. Synchrotron grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) and reflectivity (XR) confirm that mixtures of n-alkane and AuNP exhibiting improved fluidity in their compression isotherm are indeed incorporating n-alkane into the AuNP ligand shell and stabilizing it at the air–water interface. The resulting films show a doubling of their correlation lengths and thus a significant improvement on their ordering, as well as increased lattice spacing that is dependent upon the n-alkane chain length. Mixtures that do not exhibit changes in their surface pressure vs area isotherm similarly show little change in the interfacial assembly of the nanoparticle films except to promote monolayer collapse and multilayer formation. Improvements to the film order are assigned to the initial formation of larger nanoparticle domains. The nature of the chain length dependence and persistence of the n-alkane through compression suggest a favorable interaction with the nanoparticle ligand shell that results in the extension of methylene units of the longer alkanes beyond the thiol layer, which has implications for influencing nanoparticle interactions.

Abstract

‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’ is an emerging tick-borne zoonotic agent that primarily affects immunocompromised human patients. Dogs and foxes are frequently exposed to ticks,and both species are in close proximity to humans. This is the first study to systematically investigate the occurrence of ‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’ in Canidae in Europa. We analyzed 1’739 blood samples from dogs in Switzerland,Italy,Spain and Portugal and 162 blood samples from free-ranging red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) in Switzerland. All samples were tested using a previously described multiplex real-time PCR for the Anaplasmataceae family,the ‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia’ genus and the ‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’ species. All Anaplasmataceae positive samples were subsequently tested using specific real-time PCRs for Anaplasma phagocytophilum,Anaplasma platys,Ehrlichia canis and Rickettsia helvetica. Among the tested animals,one dog from Zurich tested positive for ‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’. The 12-year old West Highland white terrier had been splenectomized 3 months prior to the blood collection and presented with polyuria/polydipsia. Fanconi syndrome was diagnosed based on glucosuria with normoglycemia and hyperaminoaciduria. A. platys and E. canis were detected in 14/249 dogs from Sicily and Portugal; two of the dogs were coinfected with both agents. Four Swiss foxes tested positive for A. phagocytophilium. R. helvetica was detected for the first time in a red fox. In conclusion,‘Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis’ infection should be considered in sick dogs,particularly when immunocompromised. The pathogen seems not to be widespread in Canidae in the investigated countries. Conversely,other Anaplasmataceae were more readily detected in dogs and foxes.

Abstract

Background No published studies have evaluated in pregnant women with HIV weight gain with different antiretroviral drug classes.Methods Data from a national cohort study were used. We compared absolute weight gain and occurrence of excessive weight gain in women with HIV who received during pregnancy integrase inhibitors (INSTI), protease inhibitors (PI), or non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI). Excessive weight gain was defined according to the Institute of Medicine recommendations. Possible predictors of weight gain were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses.Results Among 273 cases (PI: 191, NNRTI: 43, INSTI: 39), the mean weight increase was 11.3 kg, and 25.4% of the mothers had an excessive weight increase. No significant differences were found among the three treatment groups for absolute weight increase, occurrence of excessive weight gain, infant birthweight, and other pregnancy and laboratory outcomes. The comparisons of individual drugs, although based on a limited number of cases, suggested no major differences. A significant positive correlation was found between weight gain and CD4+T-cell increase during pregnancy. In multivariate analyses, drug class and nucleoside backbone were not associated with absolute or excessive weight increase. Excessive weight increase was significantly associated with week of delivery (adjusted odds ratio: 1.74, 95% CI 1.15, 2.63), obesity (5.21, 95% CI 1.85, 14.64), overweight (7.95, 95% CI 3.26, 19.39), recent substance use (5.96, 95% CI 1.13, 31.40) and fasting 2nd trimester hyperglycaemia (3.94, 95% CI 1.14, 13.65).Conclusions No significant differences in absolute weight change or occurrence of excessive weight gain were found among women with HIV who received during pregnancy different classes of antiretroviral drugs.

Abstract

La riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra è uno degli obiettivi cruciali che pone in relazione politiche energetiche ed ambientali. La necessità di pianificare gli interventi di riduzione non può prescindere da un attenta valutazione di tutti i possibili fattori emissivi (sia diretti che ombra) nonché dei potenziali fattori di riduzione generalmente non contemplati nella pianificazione a scala locale. Il presente studio intende illustrare un modello di riferimento per la contabilizzazione dei fattori emissivi e di riduzione di un Comune, in relazione agli obiettivi del recente Pacchetto Energia e Clima dell’UE focalizzando l’attenzione sul ruolo delle scelte in materia di gestione dei rifiuti, con specifico riferimento alla raccolta differenziata.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Atazanavir and lopinavir represent the main HIV protease inhibitors recommended in pregnancy, but comparative data in pregnant women are limited. METHODS: Women from a national observational study, exposed in pregnancy to either atazanavir or lopinavir, were compared for glucose and lipid profiles, liver function tests, CD4 count, HIV RNA and main pregnancy outcomes. Statistical methods included univariate and multivariable analyses. RESULTS: The study population included 428 pregnancies (lopinavir, 322; atazanavir, 106). The lopinavir group was characterized by higher rates of HIV diagnosis in pregnancy and treatment indication for maternal health, lower CD4 counts, higher HIV RNA levels, less frequent antiretroviral treatment at conception and shorter duration of drug exposure during pregnancy. No differences in pregnancy outcomes, glucose metabolism and weight gain were observed. The two groups also showed in a multivariable analysis similar odds for detectable HIV RNA in the third trimester (adjusted OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.35-2.10, P = 0.730). Total lipid levels were significantly higher in the lopinavir group (median values in the third trimester 239 versus 221 mg/dL for total cholesterol and 226 versus 181 mg/dL for triglycerides; P < 0.001 for both comparisons) and bilirubin levels were significantly higher in the atazanavir group (1.53 versus 0.46 mg/dL, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In this observational study atazanavir and lopinavir showed similar safety and activity in pregnancy, with no differences in the main pregnancy outcomes. Atazanavir use was associated with a better lipid profile and with higher bilirubin levels. Overall, the study findings confirm that these two HIV protease inhibitors represent equally valid alternative options.

Abstract

Purpose: We investigated the evolution of serum lipid levels in HIV-infected pregnant women and the potential effect of antiretroviral treatment during pregnancy using data from a national surveillance study. Method: Fasting lipid measurements collected during routine care in pregnancy were used, analyzing longitudinal changes and differences in lipid values at each trimester by protease inhibitors (Pls) and stavudine use. Multivariate analyses were used to control for simultaneous factors potentially leading to hyperlipidemia. Study population included 248 women. Results: Lipid values increased progressively and significantly during pregnancy: mean increases between the first and third trimesters were 141.6 mg/dL for triglycerides (p

Abstract

Although most of the women (69.4%) had a normal BMI at start of pregnancy, only 37% had an adequate weight gain during pregnancy. Inadequate body weight gain was more common (44.8%) than excessive weight gain (18.2%), but 40% of overweight women and 50% of obese women had an excessive weight gain in pregnancy, with about 9% of the women in these categories gaining >18 kg during pregnancy (Table 1). Only 1.9% of the women had a vaginal delivery; elective and nonelective cesarean deliveries accounted for 81.3% and 16.7% of deliveries, respectively. Compared to underweight/normal women, overweight/obese women had similar occurrences of preterm delivery (23.4% vs 22.7%, P = .871), significantly lower rates of low birthweight (14.2% vs 24.2%, P = .007) and nonelective cesarean deliveries (11.7% vs 18.3%, P = .042), and a significantly higher occurrence of fasting plasma glucose >92 mg/dL at 20–28 weeks (12.1% vs 6.6%, P = .027), hypertension during pregnancy (6.4% vs 2.7%, P = .019), and gestational age–adjusted birthweight >90th percentile (15.5% vs 5.0%, P < .001). Complications of delivery, major birth defects, and HIV transmission were similar between the 2 groups (7.3% vs 7.6%, P = .881; 2.6% vs 3.5%, P = .589; and 0.8% vs 0.5%, P = .661, respectively). An inadequate weight gain during pregnancy was associated with an increased risk of nonelective cesarean delivery (OR, 1.589 [95% CI, 1.077–2.346], P = .020). Excessive weight gain during pregnancy was not associated with either hypertension (OR, 1.364 [95% CI, .537–3.465], P = .514) or 20–28 week glucose level of >92 mg/dL (OR, 0.841 [95% CI, .399–1.772], P = .648), but was significantly associated with birthweight >90th percentile (OR, 2.271 [95% CI, 1.229–4.195], P = .009), and appeared to be protective against low birthweight (OR, 0.544 [95% CI, .323–.918], P = .023) and birthweight

Abstract

Objective We used data from a national study of pregnant women with HIV to evaluate the prevalence of congenital abnormalities in newborns from women with HIV infection. Design Observational study. Setting University and hospital clinics. Population Pregnant women with HIV exposed to antiretroviral treatment at any time during pregnancy. Methods The total prevalence of birth defects was assessed on live births, stillbirths, and elective terminations for fetal anomaly. The associations between potentially predictive variables and the occurrence of birth defects were expressed as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for exposed versus unexposed cases, calculated in univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Main outcome measures Birth defects, defined according to the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry criteria. Results A total of 1257 pregnancies with exposure at any time to antiretroviral therapy were evaluated. Forty-two cases with major defects were observed. The total prevalence was 3.2% (95% CI 1.9–4.5) for exposure to any antiretroviral drug during the first trimester (23 cases with defects) and 3.4% (95% CI 1.9–4.9) for no antiretroviral exposure during the first trimester (19 cases). No associations were found between major birth defects and first-trimester exposure to any antiretroviral treatment (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.51–1.75), main drug classes (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.51–1.76; non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, OR 1.20, 95% CI 0.56–2.55; protease inhibitors, OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.43–1.95), and individual drugs, including efavirenz (prevalence for efavirenz, 2.5%). Conclusions This study adds further support to the assumption that first-trimester exposure to antiretroviral treatment does not increase the risk of congenital abnormalities.
