Testicular torsion is a time-dependent urological emergency in which delays in presentation, diagnosis, referral, and surgery may reduce the likelihood of testicular salvage. Evidence describing care pathways for testicular torsion in Brazilian public emergency services remains l...

Upregulation of cellular exhaustion-related genes and CD4 + T cell disturbances in immunological non-responders on antiretroviral therapy

Abstract Antiretroviral therapy suppresses HIV replication, but 10–40% of people living with HIV do not reconstitute CD4 + T cell counts despite viral suppression. Cellular exhaustion and alteration in the frequency of CD4 + T cell subsets are mechanisms involved in immunological...
