sit does not affect pregnancy outcomes. This observation remains true for patients who are in the high-risk categories for poor response to ovarian stimulation. Providers and patients should be reassured that when a short-term treatment delay is deemed necessary for medical, logistic or financial reasons, treatment outcomes will not be affected. Study funding/competing interest(s) No financial support, funding or services were obtained for this study. The authors do not report any potential conflicts of interest. Trial registration number Not applicable.Chloroflexales (Chloroflexi) are typical members of the anoxygenic photosynthesizing component of microbial mats and have mostly been characterized from communities associated to hot springs. Here, we report the assembly of five metagenome-assembled genomes of a novel lineage of Chloroflexales found in mesophilic lithifying microbial mats (microbialites) in Lake Alchichica (Mexico). Genomic and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the bins shared 92% of their genes, and these genes were nearly identical despite being assembled from samples collected along a depth gradient (1-15 m depth). We tentatively name this lineage Candidatus Lithoflexus mexicanus. Metabolic predictions based on the MAGs suggest that these chlorosome-lacking mixotrophs share features in central carbon metabolism, electron transport, as well as adaptations to life under oxic and anoxic conditions, with members of two related lineages, Chloroflexineae and Roseiflexineae. Contrasting with the other diverse microbialite community members, which display much lower genomic conservation along the depth gradient, Ca. L. mexicanus MAGs exhibit remarkable similarity. This might reflect a particular flexibility to acclimate to varying light conditions with depth or the capacity to occupy a very specific spatial ecological niche in microbialites from different depths. Alternatively, Ca. L. mexicanus may also have the ability to modulate its gene expression as a function of the local environmental conditions during diel cycles in microbialites along the depth gradient.Background Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) have increased risk of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers, including anal cancer. We investigated the prevalence of anal high-grade intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) in RTRs compared with immunocompetent controls and risk factors for anal HSIL in RTRs. Methods We included 247 RTRs and 248 controls in this cross-sectional study. We obtained anal samples for HPV testing with INNO-LiPA® and performed high-resolution anoscopy on all participants. The participants completed a questionnaire on lifestyle and sexual habits. We used logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of histologically confirmed anal HSIL in RTRs versus controls and risk factors for anal HSIL in RTRs, stratified by sex and anal high-risk (hr) HPV status, adjusting for age, smoking, lifetime sexual partners, and receptive anal sex. Results RTRs had higher anal HSIL prevalence than controls, both among men (6.5% vs 0.8%, ORadjusted=11.21, 95% CI 1.46-291.17) and women (15.4% vs 4.0%, ORadjusted=6.41, 95% CI 2.14-24.10). Among those with anal hrHPV, RTRs had higher anal HSIL prevalence than controls (33.8% vs 9.5%, ORadjusted=6.06, 95% CI 2.16-20.27). Having had receptive anal sex (ORadjusted=6.23, 95% CI, 2.23-19.08) or genital warts (ORadjusted=4.21, 95% CI 1.53-11.48) were risk factors for anal HSIL in RTRs. All HSIL cases occurred in individuals with anal hrHPV. Conclusion RTRs had increased risk of anal HSIL compared with immunocompetent controls, with particularly high prevalence in female RTRs. Receptive anal sex, previous genital warts and anal hrHPV infection were risk factors for anal HSIL in RTRs. Screening for anal HSIL in RTRs should be considered.Background Finding a suitable treatment for HCV patients with swallowing disorders is still a major challenge. In practice, direct-acting antivirals are crushed without knowledge of adequate absorption. Crushing can alter drug exposure, possibly leading to treatment failure, development of resistance or toxicity. Currently, there is no information about crushing of the fixed-dose combination tablet of elbasvir/grazoprevir; therefore, crushing of this tablet is not recommended. Objectives To investigate the influence of crushing on the pharmacokinetics of the elbasvir/grazoprevir fixed-dose combination tablet. Usp22iS02 Methods We conducted an open-label, two-period, randomized, cross-over, Phase I, single-dose trial in 11 healthy adult volunteers. Subjects randomly received whole-tablet elbasvir/grazoprevir or crushed and suspended elbasvir/grazoprevir in a fasted state. Pharmacokinetic similarity criteria (90% CIs lie within 70%-143% acceptance range) were used for AUC0-∞ and AUC0-72. Results Mean plasma concentration-time curves of elbasvir and grazoprevir showed similar pharmacokinetic profiles. The primary pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-∞ and AUC0-72 of elbasvir and grazoprevir after intake of a crushed tablet were on average 12%-16% higher compared with the whole tablet, but 90% CIs were all within the predefined boundaries of pharmacokinetic similarity. Crushing leads to a higher Cmax of grazoprevir (42%); no significant difference was found between treatments with regard to the Cmax of elbasvir. No serious adverse events were reported during the trial. Conclusions Pharmacokinetic similarity could be demonstrated for a crushed and suspended tablet compared with a whole tablet, without impacting drug safety or efficacy. Crushed and suspended administration of elbasvir/grazoprevir can be used in patients with swallowing disorders.Aims Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) reduces the incidence of thrombotic complications at the cost of an increase in bleedings. New antiplatelet therapies focused on minimizing bleeding and maximizing antithrombotic effects are emerging. The aim of this study is to collect the current evidence coming from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on early aspirin interruption after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and current drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation and to perform a meta-analysis in order to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this strategy. Methods and results MEDLINE/PubMed was systematically screened for RCTs comparing P2Y12 inhibitors (P2Y12i) monotherapy after a maximum of 3 months of DAPT (S-DAPT) vs. DAPT for 12 months (DAPT) in patients undergoing PCI with DES. Baseline features were appraised. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE all causes of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) and its single composites, stent thrombosis (ST) and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 were considered and pooled with fixed and random-effects with inverse-variance weighting.
