OBJECTIVE To describe the CD4 cell count at the start of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in low-income (LIC), lower middle-income (LMIC), upper middle-income (UMIC), and high-income (HIC) countries. METHODS Patients aged 16 years or older starting cART in a clinic participating in a multicohort collaboration spanning 6 continents (International epidemiological Databases to Evaluate AIDS and ART Cohort Collaboration) were eligible. Multilevel linear regression models were adjusted for age, gender, and calendar year; missing CD4 counts were imputed. RESULTS In total, 379,865 patients from 9 LIC, 4 LMIC, 4 UMIC, and 6 HIC were included. In LIC, the median CD4 cell count at cART initiation increased by 83% from 80 to 145 cells/μL between 2002 and 2009. Corresponding increases in LMIC, UMIC, and HIC were from 87 to 155 cells/μL (76% increase), 88 to 135 cells/μL (53%), and 209 to 274 cells/μL (31%). In 2009, compared with LIC, median counts were 13 cells/μL [95% confidence interval (CI): -56 to +30] lower in LMIC, 22 cells/μL (-62 to +18) lower in UMIC, and 112 cells/μL (+75 to +149) higher in HIC. They were 23 cells/μL (95% CI: +18 to +28 cells/μL) higher in women than men. Median counts were 88 cells/μL (95% CI: +35 to +141 cells/μL) higher in countries with an estimated national cART coverage >80%, compared with countries with <40% coverage. CONCLUSIONS Median CD4 cell counts at the start of cART increased 2000-2009 but remained below 200 cells/μL in LIC and MIC and below 300 cells/μL in HIC. Earlier start of cART will require substantial efforts and resources globally.

Der Aufsatz beschäftigt sich mit der 'improvisierten Choreographie' You've Changed des Schweizer Choreographen Thomas Hauert und seiner in Brüssel angesiedelten Kompanie ZOO. Mittels der Denkfigur des Schwarms werden die Funktions- und Organisationsprinzipien der schwärmenden Konstellationen, welche die Tanzenden immer wieder bilden, beschrieben und analysiert. Zusätzlich werden die kinästhetischen Übertragungsprozesse erläutert, die sich in dieser Live-Improvisation zwischen den Tanzenden ereignen. Mittels Überlegungen, die der französische Philosoph Jean-Luc Nancy in seiner Schrift singulär plural sein entwickelt hat, wird anschließend diskutiert, wie in dieser 'improvisierten Choerographie' das gemeinsame Sein beständig ausgehandelt wird, wobei eine heterogene und zugleich integrierte Gemeinschaft entsteht.

Thomas Cottier, Experte für Handelsrecht, erklärt, warum die Pharmaindustrie beim Freihandelsabkommen mit Indien zu viel verlangt. Und warum die Schweiz bei internationalen Handelskonflikten mehr unternehmen müsste.
