Routine staining methods (haematoxylin & eosin & Warthin-Starry) can identify spirochetes on the surface of enterocytes.
Histologically, characteristic findings include a decrease in microvilli &a predominantly eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrate.

2) The magnitude and quality of a key immune cell’s response to vaccination with two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine were considerably lower in people with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to people without prior infection, a study has found.
3) In addition, the level of this key immune cell that targets the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was substantially lower in unvaccinated people with COVID-19 than in vaccinated people who had never been infected.

A decade into the #PrEP era, efforts to leverage the prevention pill's power to curb #HIV have stagnated, I report for @NBCNews. Among gay men, who account for 70% of new cases, Blacks and Latinos have the highest HIV rates, but use PrEP the least. 🧵⬇️nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-he…
Only 1 in 200 PrEP prescriptions are for the new injectable PrEP, Apretude, which is vastly superior at preventing HIV in gay men on a public health level. But it's so expensive, few insurers will cover it, while generic Truvada is now very cheap. 2/ nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-he…
In a clinical trial of Apretude vs daily oral Truvada as PrEP, the injectable drug, which is given every 8 weeks, yielded a 72% lower HIV rate in Black gay men and trans women than the daily oral drug. So if Apretude were covered, it could do much good. 3/ nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-he…

Many argue that giving puberty blockers and hormones to trans minors is uncontroversial & backed by high-quality science. Block's reporting disputes this. Swedish health authorities, for example, say the risks "currently outweigh the possible benefits". 2/
