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: Observational studies have shown that ocular manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common extraintinal manifestations, among which iridocyclitis, scleritis and episcleritis are the most common. However, whether there is a causal relationship between the two is unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the causality of IBD on ocular manifestations using the mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

Organic agriculture is expanding worldwide, driven by expectations of improving food quality and soil health. However, while organic certification by regulatory bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture and the European Union confirms compliance with organic standards that prohibit synthetic chemical inputs, there is limited oversight to verify that organic practices, such as the use of authentic organic fertilizer sources, are consistently applied at the field level. This study investigated the elemental content of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and their stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) in seven different crops grown under organic or conventional practices to assess their applicability as a screening tool to verify the authenticity of organic labeled produce.

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.

Background: Thyroid cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor, especially with a higher incidence in women. Tumor microenvironment changes induced by inflammation and alterations in metabolic characteristics are critical in the development of thyroid cancer. Nevertheless, their causal relationships remain unclear.
