Advances
in HIV
Prevention
A BIMONTHLY DRUG
INJECTION is more
effective at preventing HIV
in people most at risk of
infection than pills that
have to be taken daily.
Both the injection and
the pills are called
" pre-exposure prophylaxis, " or PrEP, and block
the virus. Researchers
believe that taking a shot
once every eight weeks
versus trying (and sometimes failing) to adhere
to a daily medication
regimen accounts for the
difference in outcomes.

Targeting and
Treating Rheumatoid
Arthritis Flare-Ups
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, a chronic
inflammatory disorder that causes swelling
in the lining of the joints, flares up without
warning, making daily tasks difficult or even
unmanageable for people who have it.
But scientists have identified a cell type
that builds up in the blood in the weeks
before an attack-a discovery that could aid
with prediction and treatment of " flares, "
when pain and swelling are severe, according to a study in the New England Journal
of Medicine.
Five patients collected their own blood at
home at least once per week for 200 weeks,
and more often during flares, and mailed the
samples to the research lab. When analyzing
the samples, scientists detected distinctive
cells that consistently appeared in the weeks
before flares in each patient.
The findings, which were consistent when
compared with samples taken from 19 other
patients, could lead to targeted treatment of
the cells to stop flares before they happen.
