Medicine and health

Sexually transmitted infection

A (STI) is an infection primarily spread through sexual contact, including vaginal, anal, or , caused by various bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Common examples include infections from , which causes ; , responsible for ; and human papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to and certain cancers. These pathogens are transmitted via bodily fluids or skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity, though some STIs can also pass from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth. Globally, STIs represent a major public health challenge, with the World Health Organization (WHO) estimating over 1 million new cases daily as of recent data, totaling around 374 million incident infections in 2020 among adults aged 15-49 for four curable STIs: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and trichomoniasis. Recent reports indicate a major increase in syphilis cases, with over 8 million new infections among adults aged 15-49 in 2022. Prevalence remains highest in sub-Saharan Africa, where regional estimates indicate elevated rates of bacterial STIs due to factors like limited access to healthcare and higher HIV co-infection. These infections contribute to significant morbidity, including infertility, chronic pain, and increased HIV transmission risk, underscoring the need for enhanced surveillance and intervention in high-burden areas. The term STI emerged as the preferred nomenclature in the , replacing "sexually transmitted " (STD) to better encompass infections that do not always progress to clinical , a shift formally adopted by the WHO in 1999. Historically, such conditions were known as "venereal diseases" from the early , a term rooted in ancient references to , the Roman goddess of love, but it carried heavy and focused solely on symptomatic cases. This in terminology reflects advances in understanding and aims to reduce barriers to testing and care. Prevention of STIs emphasizes barrier methods like consistent use, which significantly reduces transmission risk for many bacterial and viral pathogens. plays a key role, exemplified by the approved by the U.S. in 2006, which protects against high-risk HPV types responsible for most cervical cancers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated screening guidelines in 2021, recommending annual testing for and in sexually active women under 25 and targeted screening for other groups based on risk factors, to enable early detection and . For , an incurable STI, antiretroviral therapy (ART) is used to manage the infection, suppress , and prevent complications.

Other medical terms

In , the systolic time interval (STI), also referred to as electromechanical systole, represents the duration from the opening of the to its closure during ventricular contraction. This interval provides a noninvasive measure of left ventricular systolic and is typically assessed via , which captures valve motion and Doppler flow patterns to delineate phases of the . The STI is calculated using the formula \text{STI} = \text{LVET} + \text{PEP}, where LVET denotes left ventricular ejection time (the duration of blood expulsion into the ) and PEP indicates pre-ejection period (the time from ventricular to aortic valve opening). In healthy adults at rest, normal STI values range from 0.27 to 0.38 seconds, with variations influenced by , age, and sex; prolongation or shortening can signal impaired contractility or hemodynamic changes. Phonocardiography complements by recording to identify systolic phases, such as the first heart sound (mitral closure) and second heart sound (aortic closure), enabling precise interval timing without invasive procedures. Soft tissue infections (STIs) encompass bacterial invasions of the , subcutaneous layers, muscles, or connective tissues, often arising from breaches in integrity or hematogenous . A representative example is , a superficial STI caused by pathogens like , characterized by , warmth, and swelling due to dermal and subcutaneous inflammation. These infections are classified by depth and severity: superficial forms, such as or , remain confined to epidermal and dermal structures, whereas necrotizing STIs, like , involve deeper fascial planes and muscle, resulting in rapid tissue destruction and systemic toxicity. Initial treatment focuses on empirical antibiotics tailored to likely etiologies; for instance, is a cornerstone for suspected methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) cases, administered intravenously to achieve bactericidal concentrations against gram-positive organisms. Diagnostic evaluation often employs MRI protocols, including T1- and T2-weighted sequences with contrast, to detect , formation, and fascial involvement, offering superior contrast resolution over other modalities. In HIV management, structured treatment interruption (STI) denotes a controlled of periodic, supervised pauses in antiretroviral (ART) to monitor kinetics, immune reconstitution, and potential autologous control of . Emerging from early 2000s clinical trials, such as those exploring therapeutic or reversal in multidrug-experienced patients, STI involved cycles of ART resumption and withdrawal—typically lasting weeks to months—to provoke measurable viral rebound while assessing recovery. Despite initial promise for reducing cumulative drug toxicity, STI strategies were largely abandoned by the following evidence of heightened risks, including accelerated emergence of drug-resistant HIV mutants and paradoxical immune activation leading to clinical progression. Current guidelines emphasize continuous ART to maintain viral suppression, rendering STI obsolete except in select research contexts.

Science and technology

Biology and pharmacology

Signal transduction refers to the biological process by which cells relay extracellular signals, such as hormones or growth factors, into intracellular responses that regulate functions like , , and . This process typically begins with the binding of ligands to cell surface receptors, such as receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) or G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which trigger a cascade of events involving G-proteins and second messengers. G-proteins, upon activation, facilitate the production of second messengers like (cAMP), which amplify the signal and modulate enzymatic activities to elicit specific cellular changes. Signal transduction inhibitors (STIs) constitute a class of pharmacological agents designed to block aberrant signaling pathways implicated in diseases like cancer, primarily by interrupting phosphorylation cascades essential for signal propagation. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), a key subclass of STIs, achieve this through ATP-competitive binding to the kinase domain of target proteins, thereby preventing autophosphorylation and downstream activation of pathways such as PI3K/AKT or MAPK. This mechanism halts uncontrolled cell growth driven by mutated kinases, offering a precise intervention in dysregulated cellular communication. A seminal example of an STI is (previously designated STI-571), a TKI that selectively targets the BCR-ABL fusion kinase in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Approved by the U.S. (FDA) on May 10, 2001, imatinib demonstrated high rates of hematologic and cytogenetic responses in patients with chronic-phase CML refractory to prior therapies, marking a toward targeted therapies. Unlike traditional , which indiscriminately damages rapidly dividing cells and causes significant off-target toxicity, imatinib's specificity minimizes adverse effects on healthy tissues while effectively inhibiting leukemic cell survival. As of 2025, related advances in immunotherapy, such as PD-1 inhibitors, target inhibitory signal transduction in T cells to bolster anti-tumor responses in oncology. These monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab, block the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction, preventing recruitment of phosphatases like SHP-2 that dampen T-cell receptor signaling and thereby enhancing cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. Ongoing clinical trials continue to refine these agents for combination regimens, improving outcomes in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

Electronics and computing

(STI) is a fundamental technique in () fabrication, employed to electrically isolate transistors and prevent current leakage between active device regions on a substrate. The process commences with to pattern isolation areas on a pad and layer stack, followed by to excavate shallow trenches approximately 250–350 nm deep into the . The trenches are subsequently lined with a thin thermal , filled with high-density plasma or () to ensure void-free deposition, and planarized via () to achieve a flat surface for subsequent device layers. STI provides key advantages over the predecessor local oxidation of silicon () method, notably by minimizing through complete planarization and avoiding bird's beak oxide encroachment, which encroaches into active areas and limits device density. These improvements enable tighter spacing and higher integration densities in integrated circuits, critical for beyond 1 µm feature sizes. Introduced through experimental demonstrations in the by pioneers like , STI saw widespread industrial adoption in the 1990s for sub-micron nodes, supplanting as the standard isolation scheme for technologies at 250 nm and below. In advanced nodes, such as 5 nm processes operational as of 2025, STI trenches support aspect ratios up to 10:1, accommodating deeper relative to narrower widths while maintaining gap-fill integrity amid aggressive scaling. The technique's evolution incorporates (EUV) lithography for precise patterning in 3 nm nodes, where multi-patterning and high-resolution exposure mitigate defects in ultra-fine features below 20 nm. In for systems, software thread integration (STI) denotes a compiler-based to merge multi-threaded segments in real-time embedded applications, interleaving instructions from independent into a single execution stream to reclaim fine-grained idle cycles on general-purpose processors. This approach relies on primitives like mutexes and semaphores to preserve thread semantics and prevent race conditions, thereby improving responsiveness and resource utilization in hard environments without hardware multithreading support. Originating from research in the early , STI has been applied to systems like for sensor networks, demonstrating up to 50% reductions in execution time for concurrent tasks.

Policy and information science

Science, technology, and (STI) policies form a critical framework for national governments to promote (R&D), fostering economic competitiveness and societal progress. These policies, as analyzed in the 's biennial Science, Technology and Outlook reports, emphasize coordinated strategies to address global challenges such as and . Key components include substantial investments in education to build a skilled , robust intellectual property (IP) protection to incentivize , and standardized metrics to track progress, such as gross domestic expenditure on R&D as a percentage of GDP. For instance, the average for this metric stood at approximately 2.7% in 2023, reflecting sustained but moderated growth amid economic pressures. A vital aspect of STI policy implementation involves the management and dissemination of scientific and technical information (STI) to ensure research outputs are accessible and reusable. The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), established in 1947 as the Technical Information Division of the Atomic Energy Commission, plays a central role in collecting, preserving, and distributing DOE-funded research products, including journal articles, datasets, and technical reports. This program expanded digitally with the launch of the SciTech Connect platform in March 2013, which consolidates access to over 4 million records of publicly available R&D results, enhancing collaboration among researchers and policymakers. STI policies have demonstrated significant impacts on by channeling investments into high-potential areas, thereby spurring and job creation. For example, the European Union's program, running from 2021 to 2027 with a of €95.5 billion (including €5.4 billion from the NextGenerationEU recovery instrument), supports collaborative R&D projects that drive in sectors like and technologies, contributing to long-term GDP gains across member states. Such initiatives exemplify how targeted STI funding can amplify economic returns, with studies indicating that every euro invested in R&D yields broader societal benefits through knowledge spillovers. As of 2025, STI policies increasingly integrate ethical considerations for , particularly (AI), in line with guidelines. The UNCTAD Technology and Innovation Report 2025 highlights the need for inclusive AI governance within STI frameworks, promoting policies that address biases, ensure data equity, and align with standards to maximize developmental benefits while mitigating risks. This evolution reflects a global push, as seen in the UN's 2025 STI Forum, for norms that embed ethical AI practices into national innovation strategies.
