Abstract
The pathophysiology of accelerated atherosclerosis in people living with Human Immunofediciency virus (HIV) is complex. Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become an important cause of mortality in these patients. They often have atypical symptoms, leading to frequently missed diagnoses. We report a case of a 51-year-old male undergoing antiretroviral therapy who was admitted for acute coronary syndrome. He had severe coronary artery disease that involved difficult management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dolutegravir has been shown to be non-inferior to an integrase inhibitor and superior to a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). In FLAMINGO, we compared dolutegravir with darunavir plus ritonavir in individuals naive for antiretroviral therapy. METHODS In this multicentre, open-label, phase 3b, non-inferiority study, HIV-1-infected antiretroviral therapy-naive adults with HIV-1 RNA concentration of 1000 copies per mL or more and no resistance at screening were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either dolutegravir 50 mg once daily or darunavir 800 mg plus ritonavir 100 mg once daily, with investigator-selected tenofovir-emtricitabine or abacavir-lamivudine. Randomisation was stratified by screening HIV-1 RNA (≤100,000 or >100,000 copies per mL) and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) selection. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with HIV-1 RNA concentration lower than 50 copies per mL (Food and Drug Administration [FDA] snapshot algorithm) at week 48 with a 12% non-inferiority margin. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01449929. FINDINGS Recruitment began on Oct 31, 2011, and was completed on May 24, 2012, in 64 research centres in nine countries worldwide. Of 595 patients screened, 484 patients were included in the analysis (242 in each group). At week 48, 217 (90%) patients receiving dolutegravir and 200 (83%) patients receiving darunavir plus ritonavir had HIV-1 RNA of less than 50 copies per mL (adjusted difference 7·1%, 95% CI 0·9-13·2), non-inferiority and on pre-specified secondary analysis dolutegravir was superior (p=0·025). Confirmed virological failure occurred in two (<1%) patients in each group; we recorded no treatment-emergent resistance in either group. Discontinuation due to adverse events or stopping criteria was less frequent for dolutegravir (four [2%] patients) than for darunavir plus ritonavir (ten [4%] patients) and contributed to the difference in response rates. The most commonly reported (≥10%) adverse events were diarrhoea (dolutegravir 41 [17%] patients vs darunavir plus ritonavir 70 [29%] patients), nausea (39 [16%] vs 43 [18%]), and headache (37 [15%] vs 24 [10%]). Patients receiving dolutegravir had significantly fewer low-density lipoprotein values of grade 2 or higher (11 [2%] vs 36 [7%]; p=0·0001). INTERPRETATION Once-daily dolutegravir was superior to once-daily darunavir plus ritonavir. Once-daily dolutegravir in combination with fixed-dose NRTIs represents an effective new treatment option for HIV-1-infected, treatment-naive patients. FUNDING ViiV Healthcare and Shionogi & Co.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if the presently used bacterial detection techniques provide accurate and complete profiles of microorganisms found in human semen. DESIGN Routine bacterial cultures and molecular biology techniques using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with a universal eubacterial primer, cloning, then sequence analysis were used to detect bacteria (culturable or nonculturable) in the semen. SETTING University and hospital-based research laboratory. PATIENTS Thirty infertile men and nine semen donors, all with no symptoms of a urinary tract infection, donated semen for the study. INTERVENTIONS None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Detection of bacteria using routine cultures and molecular biology techniques. RESULTS Using PCR, we found > 10(4) bacteria/mL in the semen of 66% of the infertile asymptomatic men and 66% of the semen donors. This contrasts with our routine culture results which detected "significant" bacteriospermia in only 27% of the infertile men and in none of the preselected semen donors. From four of these semen specimens, DNA sequence analysis identified an average of nine different bacterial species per specimen, with close to 90% of the species being anaerobes. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that the present microbiologic detection methods underestimate the incidence of significant bacteriospermia, particularly anaerobic bacteria. The molecular biologic methods should help researchers confirm or refute the role of infection in male infertility.

Abstract
In this report a modification to the in vivo footprinting assay is described. The method includes dimethyl sulfate treatment of whole yeast cells, followed by reiterative primer extension of the methylated genomic DNA using Taq DNA polymerase. Under appropriate reaction conditions chain extension terminates opposite a methylated purine when Taq DNA polymerase encounters a modified adenine or guanine. The procedure was used to examine, in vivo DNA-protein contacts over the upstream activation site (UAS) of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PYK gene. In vivo analysis, using isogenic strains of yeast and Escherichia coli transformed with plasmid DNAs, confirmed the binding of both the trans-acting factor RAP1 and the transcriptional activator GCR1 to cis-acting recognition sites located within the PYK UAS element.

Abstract
Advanced ovarian carcinoma is being treated with aggressive debulking surgery including complete removal of the tumor whenever possible followed by adjuvant therapy. Secondary debulking including splenectomy in a patient with recurrent ovarian carcinoma is reported. It is suggested that splenectomy may have a place in the management of a few patients with ovarian cancer. The technique and complications of splenectomy are described.

Abstract
A high proportion of parainfluenza, herpes, adenovirus and chlamydial antigens (10.7-36%) was detected by indirect immunofluorescence in cells exfoliated in the vagina of women with genital neoplasia and with uterine cervix ectopia and dysplasia. Much lower proportions of the same antigens were found in patients with common gynecopathies or recurrent genital herpes and in pregnant women. The possible relationships between chronic virus infections and genital neoplasia in women are discussed.
