Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience difficulties in understanding speech in noise despite having normal hearing.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between speech discrimination in noise (SDN) and medial olivocochlear reflex levels and to compare MS patients with a control group.

Plasma anti-CD4 IgG levels are associated with poor immune recovery in people with HIV initiating antiretroviral therapy.
AIDS
February 2025
Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY.
A segment of people with HIV on effective antiretroviral therapy (ART) continue to experience poor immune recovery, leaving them at heightened risk of non-AIDS-defining events (NAEs). The production of anti-CD4 IgG autoreactive antibodies is suggested as one contributing mechanism to these complications. Here, we found that plasma anti-CD4 levels do not discriminate immunological responders from nonresponders nor predict the occurrence of NAEs, suggesting it is unlikely a contributing immunopathological factor associated with these complications.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Memory and Aging Center, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: Early onset dementia (EOD) affects people at the peak of their personal and professional responsibilities and economic productivity. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) are the most common EOD etiologies in Non-Latinx White adults (NLW). Black and Latinx older adults bear a disproportionate burden of dementia compared to NLW, likely due to vulnerabilities that confer increased risk, such as cardiovascular factors, socioeconomic stressors, and structural racism.
