Introduction: Children represent a large and vulnerable patient group. However, the evidence base for most paediatric diagnostic and therapeutic procedures remains limited or is often inferred from adults. There is an urgency to improve paediatric healthcare provision based on real-world evidence generation.

Background: Intraportal pancreatic islet transplantation is a treatment option for patients with severe beta cell failure and unstable glycemic control. However, this procedure is associated with loss of beta cells after intrahepatic transplantation. Islet delivery devices (IDDs) implanted at extrahepatic sites may support engraftment and improve survival of pancreatic islets.

Prevalence and incidence of HIV among people aged 50 years and older continue to rise worldwide, generating increasing awareness among care providers, scientists, and the HIV community about the importance of brain health in older adults with HIV. Many age-related factors that adversely affect brain health can occur earlier and more often among people with HIV, including epigenetic ageing, chronic medical conditions (eg, cardiovascular disease), and age-related syndromes (eg, frailty). Extensive dialogue between HIV community leaders, health-care providers, and scientists has led to the development of a multidimensional response strategy to protect and enhance brain health in people ageing with HIV that spans across public health, clinical spaces, and research spaces.

Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive movement disorder becoming more common due to an aging population, and researchers aimed to explore rare genetic variants that could help explain its development.
  • Whole-exome sequencing was conducted on a large group of PD cases and controls of Asian ancestry, revealing significant links between the genes GBA1 and SMPD1 and the risk of developing PD, confirmed in additional samples.
  • The research found that specific SMPD1 variants that reduced enzyme activity were particularly associated with PD risk, with a prominent Asian-specific variant being common among carriers.
