We used generalized estimating equations to quantify the impact of recent vaccination or intercurrent infections on immune and inflammatory biomarkers among 144 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults with HIV RNA < 50 copies/mL on antiretroviral therapy. These events were associated with a 2.244 µg/mL increase in high sensitivity C-reactive protein and should be routinely assessed in future studies.

Introduction: Biallelic variants in QARS1, a house-keeping gene involved in protein synthesis, cause a rare encephalopathy classically characterized by severe developmental delay, drug-resistant neonatal-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, and brain atrophy. We aim to raise awareness on mild QARS1-related phenotypes describing a 6-year-old patient.

TANGO2 deficiency disorder, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterised by biallelic loss-of-function variants in the TANGO2 gene, was first described in 2016. This disorder involves the transport and Golgi organisation homologue, impacting Golgi membrane redistribution into the endoplasmic reticulum. Clinically, affected individuals exhibit a multiorgan phenotype, with prominent neurological manifestations such as developmental delay and regression.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is the most common inherited neuromuscular disease in children. In addition to the progressive loss of motor skills and cardiac involvement, respiratory muscle weakness leads to a restrictive lung disease and cough insufficiency. Specific respiratory interventions have significantly improved survival and quality of life of the affected boys.

Article Synopsis
- Rigid spine syndrome is a rare condition in children marked by progressive scoliosis, neck and spine stiffness, muscle weakness, and breathing issues, primarily linked to genetic variations in the SELENON gene.
- Recent research identified additional genetic variants in the HMGCS1 gene in five patients, suggesting it plays a role in this syndrome, despite it not being previously linked to any diseases.
- Functional studies of the HMGCS1 variants showed altered protein stability and activity, and experiments in zebrafish indicated that these mutations severely impact development, but can be rescued by introducing healthy HMGCS1 mRNA.
Application of the estimand framework for an emulated trial using reference based multiple imputation to investigate informative censoring.

Background: The ICH E9 (R1) addendum on Estimands and Sensitivity analysis in Clinical trials proposes a framework for the design and analysis of clinical trials aimed at improving clarity around the definition of the targeted treatment effect (the estimand) of a study.
Methods: We adopt the estimand framework in the context of a study using "trial emulation" to estimate the risk of pneumocystis pneumonia, an opportunistic disease contracted by people living with HIV and AIDS having a weakened immune system, when considering two antibiotic treatment regimes for stopping antibiotic prophylaxis treatment against this disease. A "while on treatment" strategy has been implemented for post-randomisation (intercurrent) events.
