Background: Children living with HIV are at higher risk for hearing loss compared to children with HIV-unexposed, uninfected (HUU). There is little known regarding the effects of children living with perinatally-acquired HIV (PHIV) and those living with perinatal HIV exposure but uninfected (PHEU) on central auditory function.
Methods: Children aged 11-14 years who were participating in the Auditory Research in Children with HIV study.

Background: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a retinal dystrophy and genetically heterogeneous group that causes vision loss and necessitates innovative therapeutic strategies, and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has shown potential due to its regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MSC therapies in improving visual outcomes, focusing on the impact of various MSC types, administration methods, and duration of benefits.
Methods: A systematic search of peer-reviewed studies was conducted to identify clinical trials and observational studies investigating MSC therapies for retinal conditions.

The immune system is crucial for the correct brain development, and recent findings also point toward central control of immune response. As the immune system is not fully developed at birth, the early years become an important window for infections and for the development of epilepsy. Both central and even peripheral inflammation may impact brain function, promoting opening of the blood-brain/blood and cerebrospinal barriers and allowing entry of immune cells and cytokines, which in turn may affect neuron function and connections.
