The World Health Organization (WHO) is releasing new scientific and normative guidance on HIV at the 12 th International IAS (the International AIDS Society) Conference on HIV Science . New WHO guidance and an accompanying Lancet systematic review released today describe the role of HIV viral suppression and undetectable levels of virus in both improving individual health and halting onward HIV transmission. The guidance describes key HIV viral load thresholds and the approaches to measure levels of virus against these thresholds; for example, people living with HIV who achieve an undetectable level of virus by consistent use of antiretroviral therapy, do not transmit HIV to their sexual partner(s) and are at low risk of transmitting HIV vertically to their children.

MANILA, Philippines — The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has redeployed its forces from Mindanao to the provinces of Samar and Panay, where the communist New People's Army (NPA) reportedly maintains a strong presence. AFP chief-of-staff Gen. Andres Centino on Wednesday said this was in line with the instruction of President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. to intensify focused military operations to crush the world's longest running Maoist insurgency. 'On the part of the AFP, one of the tasks given to us earlier during the meeting with the NTF-Elcac (National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict) is to intensify focused military operations,' Centino said during a Palace press briefing.

KUALA LUMPUR: The inflation rate in Malaysia could exceed 10 per cent if the government ceases subsidies for essential goods such as rice, sugar, fuel and electricity. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the government will spend RM64 billion this year to ensure the people, especially those in the Bottom 40 income group (B40) can continue to benefit from subsidies. He said it was among the government's efforts to reduce the burden on the people, especially with the recent Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) increase.

Previous stress tests have involved banks or general insurance providers, but this is our inaugural stress test for life insurers. Stress tests assess entities' resilience by demonstrating whether they have enough capital to withstand extreme shocks. They also indicate potential impacts on the broader financial system. "This is the first time we have run a stress test with New Zealand's life insurance industry and the results were reassuring.

Reston, VA-A new 225 Ac-DOTA-based pre-targeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) system has been shown to cure a highly lethal form of advanced intraperitoneal ovarian cancer in a preclinical setting with minimal side effects.

This research was published in the September issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal ovarian cancer and frequently presents as advanced-stage disease, such as peritoneal carcinomatosis, where disease has spread throughout the peritoneal cavity.
