In this report, we demonstrate that the T cell tropic strain of HIV, LAI, does not replicate in naive CD4 T cells stimulated by cross-linking CD3 and CD28. In contrast, LAI replicates well in memory CD4 T cells stimulated in the same way. Unlike this physiologically relevant stimulation, PHA stimulates productive LAI replication in both naive and memory T cells. These studies were conducted wit...

Significant increases in remotely sensed vegetation indices in the northern latitudes since the 1980s have been detected and attributed at annual and growing season scales. However, we presently lack a systematic understanding of how vegetation responds to asymmetric seasonal environmental changes. In this study, we first investigated trends in the seasonal mean leaf area index (LAI) at norther...

An intramuscular long-acting injectable (LAI) aripiprazole administered once a month as a single injection into the gluteal muscle is increasingly appreciated in the course of a long-term maintenance treatment of schizophrenia. Due to efficacy in delaying and decreasing relapse, low rates of feared side effects including extrapyramidal, metabolic and cardiovascular disturbances, aripiprazole LA...

the most widespread method to determine temporal and spatial variations of lai in a regional scale is empirical relationships based on the normalized difference of reflectance bands of satellite data. this study was done to evaluate the equations of remotely sensed lai estimation and optimize their parameters. therefore, lai was measured in the field for summer growing season in irrigated field...

Abstract Leaf area index (LAI) is a vital parameter reflecting vegetation structure, physio‐ecological process and growth development. Accurate estimation of mangrove LAI fundamental for assessing the ecological restoration sustainable development ecosystems. To date, very few studies have explored hybrid method radiative transfer model (RTM) machine‐learning in retrieving with different satell...

BACKGROUND Antipsychotic medications are a central component of effective treatment for schizophrenia, but nonadherence is a significant problem for the majority of patients. Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic medications are a recommended treatment option for nonadherent patients, but evidence regarding their potential advantages has been mixed. Observational data on newer, second-gene...

The purpose of this study was to identify clinician characteristics associated with higher prescription rates of long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics, as well as the sources that influence medical decision-making regarding the treatment of schizophrenia. We surveyed 202 psychiatrists during six regional French conferences (Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Paris, and Strasbourg). Data on ...
