Association between tight junction proteins and cognitive performance in untreated persons with HIV.

Background: HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) still affects persons with HIV (PWH) and their pathogenesis is not completely understood. We aimed to explore the association between plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers of blood-brain barrier (BBB) impairment and HAND in untreated PWH.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Psychological factors in functional hypothalamic amenorrhea: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Psychological factors have been found to be associated with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA); however, their role in the onset or persistence of FHA is still understudied. The study aims to assess the associations of psychological factors with the presence vs the absence of FHA.

Methods: A systematic literature search has been conducted across the major databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Embase) to explore the psychological factors associated with FHA.
