    Abstract Background: We compared proportions of participants with target detected, target not detected (TND), and elevated viral load (VL) and assessed baseline variables associated with week 144 inflammatory biomarker levels between dolutegravir-lamivudine (DTG/3TC) and tenofovir alafenamide-based regimens (TBRs) in the TANGO study (post hoc).
    Methods: TANGO is an open-label, multicenter, phase 3 study that randomized adults with VL <50 copies/mL to switch to once-daily fixed-dose DTG/3TC or continue TBR. At baseline and each study visit, the VL was measured. Elevated VL event frequencies were assessed, including "blips." Interleukin 6, D-dimer, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, soluble CD14, and soluble CD163 were measured at baseline and at week 144. Log
    Results: High, comparable proportions of participants had VL <40 copies/mL and TND at week 144 (DTG/3TC, 279 of 369 [76%]; TBR, 267 of 372 [72%], intention-to-treat exposed Snapshot analysis; adjusted difference, 3.9% [95% confidence interval, -2.5% to 10.2%]), with similar TND proportions at all postbaseline visits (123 of 369 [33%] vs 101 of 372 [27%], respectively). Similar proportions of DTG/3TC participants had ≥1 postbaseline VL ≥50 copies/mL (28 of 369 [8%] vs 42 of 372 [11%] for TBR), primarily blips (18 of 369 [5%] and 26 of 372 [7%], respectively). Week 144 inflammatory biomarker levels were low and comparable between groups and associated with multiple demographic and baseline characteristics, including baseline biomarker levels, indicating a multifactorial inflammatory response.
    Conclusions: Week 144 biomarker levels were low and generally comparable between treatment groups, reflecting similar, robust, and durable viral suppression observed using the stringent TND end point.

    Abstract Main cause of severe illness and death in COVID-19 patients appears to be an excessive but ineffectual inflammatory immune response that may cause severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Vitamin D may favour an anti-inflammatory environment and improve cytotoxic response against some infectious diseases. A multicenter, single-blind, prospective, randomized clinical trial was approved in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) of 14.8 ng/ml (SD: 6.18) to test antiviral efficacy, tolerance and safety of 10,000 IU/day of cholecalciferol (vitamin D

    Abstract Background: treating infectious diseases in elderly individuals is difficult; patient referral to emergency services often occurs, since the elderly tend to arrive at consultations with advanced, serious symptoms.
    Aim: it was hypothesized that anticipating an infectious disease diagnosis by a few days could significantly improve a patient's well-being and reduce the burden on emergency health system services.
    Methods: vital signs from residents were taken daily and transferred to a database in the cloud. Classifiers were used to recognize patterns in the spatial domain process of the collected data. Doctors reported their diagnoses when any disease presented. A flexible microservice architecture provided access and functionality to the system.
    Results: combining two different domains, health and technology, is not easy, but the results are encouraging. The classifiers reported good results; the system has been well accepted by medical personnel and is proving to be cost-effective and a good solution to service disadvantaged areas. In this context, this research found the importance of certain clinical variables in the identification of infectious diseases.
    Conclusions: this work explores how to apply mobile communications, cloud services, and machine learning technology, in order to provide efficient tools for medical staff in nursing homes. The scalable architecture can be extended to big data applications that may extract valuable knowledge patterns for medical research.

    Abstract Introduction: Spain was one of the most affected countries during the first wave of COVID-19, having the highest mortality rate in Europe. The aim of this retrospective study is to estimate the impact that remdesivir-the first drug for COVID-19 approved in the EU-would have had in the first wave.
    Methods: This study simulated the impact that remdesivir could have had on the Spanish National Health System (SNHS) capacity (bed occupancy) and the number of deaths that could have been prevented, based on two scenarios: a real-life scenario (without remdesivir) and an alternative scenario (with remdesivir). It considered the clinical results of the ACTT-1 trial in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and pneumonia who required supplemental oxygen. The occupancy rates in general wards and ICUs were estimated in both scenarios.
    Results: Remdesivir use could have prevented the admission of 2587 patients (43.75%) in the ICUs. It could have also increased the SNHS capacity in 5656 general wards beds and 1700 ICU beds, showing an increase in the number of beds available of 17.53% (95% CI 3.98%-24.42%) and 23.98% (95% CI 21.33%-28.22%), respectively, at the peak of the occupancy rates. Furthermore, remdesivir use could have prevented 7639 deaths due to COVID-19, which implies a 27.51% reduction (95% CI 14.25%-34.07%).
    Conclusions: Remdesivir could have relieved the pressure on the SNHS and could have reduced the death toll, providing a better strategy for the management of COVID-19 during the first wave.

    Abstract Introduction: There is a growing increase in prosthetic joint infection (PJI) incidence due to cephalosporin-resistant bacteria, used in surgical prophylaxis. The replacement of these with glycopeptides has not been shown to improve the results, but they have been shown to improve with their combination.
    Methods: Comparative study of combination of teicoplanin and cefazolin before arthroplasty surgery against cefazolin alone from a previous control group.
    Results: During the control period, there were 16 PJIs from 585 surgeries, while in the intervention group there were 6 from 579 (incidence 2.7% vs. 1.03%, RR 0.4, P=.04). In control group, 11 of the infections were caused by Gram-positive bacteria versus 4 in the intervention group (1.8% vs. 0.7%, P=.08).
    Conclusions: The addition of teicoplanin to cefazolin in the prophylaxis of arthroplasty surgery was associated with a reduction in the incidence of PJI, thanks to a decrease in infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria.

    Abstract Introduction: Clinical trials (CT) on triple therapy against HCV infection in HIV-infected patients including TVR plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PR) have reported considerably higher response rates than with PR alone. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of triple therapy including TVR in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients in real-life conditions.
    Materials and methods: HIV/HCV genotype 1 patients seen at four Hospitals in Madrid who received therapy including TVR plus PR for at least two weeks were included. The response was evaluated during treatment, and sustained viral response (SVR) was evaluated 12 and 24 weeks after the end of the treatment.
    Results: Fifty-eight patients have been included; 79% male, median age 48 y.o.; 38% were IL28B rs12979860 genotype CT or TT, 58.6% of patients presented cirrhosis and 24.1% presented fibrosis F3. Infection with genotype 1a was observed in 53.4% of patients. Median baseline HCV-RNA was 3,282,263 IU/mL (77.5% had >800,000 IU/mL). The most commonly used antiretroviral (ARV) drugs were tenofovir/emtricitabine [36 (62%) patients], etravirine [21 (36%) patients], abacavir/lamivudine [18 (31%) patients], boosted protease inhibitors [16 (27.5%) patients] and raltegravir [12 (20.6%) patients]. Of the 42 (72.4%) patients who had received previous HCV treatment, 13.7% were null responders, 25.8% were partial responders and 31% had relapsed. In an ITT approach, proportions of patients with undetectable HCV RNA were 67.8% (38/56) at TW4, 83.3% (40/48) at TW12, 80% (36/45) at TW24, 79.4% at TW36 (31/39) and 72% (26/36) at TW48. Fifteen (25.8%) patients discontinued HCV therapy [8 (13.8%) because they fulfilled stopping rules, 5 (8.6%) individuals due to adverse events and 2 (3.4%) were lost to follow-up]. Rash associated with TVR (grade 1) was observed in two cases (3.4%) and all the patients showed anaemia at some point of treatment. In an analysis by ITT in the 31 patients who had a 60 week follow-up after starting therapy, SVR-12 was observed in 21 (67.7%) patients. And in the analysis by ITT in 28 patients who had a 72 week follow-up after starting therapy, SVR-24 was observed in 17 (60.7%) patients.
    Conclusions: Response to triple therapy with TVR plus PR in HIV/HCV-patients under real-life conditions, and therefore, including a high proportion of difficult to treat patients, is similar to that found in CT. The safety profile of TVR-based therapy is also comparable to that shown in CT, with only a rate of discontinuation of 8.6% of individuals related to toxicity.
