RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED INTERVENTION TRIAL OF MALE CIRCUMCISION FOR REDUCTION OF HIV INFECTION RISK: THE ANRS 1265 TRIAL.

Randomized, controlled intervention trial of male circumcision for reduction of HIV infection risk: the ANRS 1265 Trial.

BACKGROUND: Observational studies suggest that male circumcision may provide protection against HIV-1 infection.A randomized, controlled intervention trial was conducted in a general population of South Africa to test this hypothesis.METHODS AND FINDINGS: A total of 3,274 uncircumcised men, aged 18-24 y, were randomized to a control or an intervent

Effects of aging on the biomechanical properties of the lung extracellular matrix: dependence on tissular stretch

Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, Jandy TruFit Bubbler Parts characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity.Emerging evidence suggests that most biomechanical alterations in the lung result from changes in the composition of the lung extracellular matri
