    Abstract Background: Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent disabilities worldwide, and has a significant impact on quality of life. The adult-onset type of the condition is highly heritable but the genetic causes are largely unknown, which is in contrast to childhood-onset hearing loss.
    Methods: Family and cohort studies included exome sequencing and characterisation of the hearing phenotype. Ex vivo protein expression addressed the functional effect of a DNA variant.
    Results: An in-frame deletion of 12 nucleotides in
    Conclusion: Collectively, the presented data demonstrate that an inherited form of adult-onset hearing loss is relatively common, with potentially thousands of individuals at risk in the Netherlands and beyond, which makes it an attractive target for developing a (genetic) therapy.

    Abstract Introduction: The global prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains substantial, particularly in regions with limited resources, despite the progress in scientific knowledge and the accessibility of antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART is the cornerstone of HIV treatment. Ensuring proper adherence to medication therapy is essential for effective HIV infection control. Meanwhile, Latvia reported one of the highest rates of HIV infections among EU countries.
    Purpose: This study aimed to assess adherence levels to ART among long-term users by utilizing the National Health Service prescription electronic database records. It is essential to determine whether non-adherence is a problem at the state level.
    Patients and methods: This retrospective study was conducted utilizing the Latvian National Health Service's reimbursed prescription database, covering the period from January 2017 to December 2018. The analysis included ART prescriptions. Medication adherence was assessed using a Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) calculation. The adherence rates were categorized into three groups: (1) < 80% (non-adherence), (2) 80% to 90% (suboptimal adherence), and (3) > 90% (optimal adherence) groups.
    Results: A total of 25,892 ARV medicines prescription records for 1471 patients were analysed. The adherence level of long-term ART was 38.3%. Of all patients, only 37 (2.5%) had achieved an optimal and 25 (1.7%) suboptimal adherence level. Meanwhile, the remaining patients (95.8%) were identified as non-adherent to therapy. It has been determined that 96.1% (n=1414) of patients experienced a time gap of more than 90 days between their prescriptions at least once. On average, each patient had 3.5 of these gaps, with a maximum of 7 times.
    Conclusion: Medication adherence level to ART is low in Latvia. Less than 3% of patients achieved optimal adherence levels with a PDC higher than 90%. These results are concerning. Further studies and interventions must be conducted to enhance adherence levels.

    Title translation Menopausal transition.
    Abstract In this educative article 10 medical questions related to the menopausal transition are answered. The questions are related to etiology, symptomatology, lab investigation, sexuality, need for contraception, hormonal and non-hormonal treatments and their risks and benefits. The purpose of this article is to assist the healthcare practitioner to understand the impact of the menopausal transition, to recognize the symptoms and to understand the risks and benefits of treatment. As women on average work and live longer, they are on average 30 percent of their lives postmenopausal. Attention should be paid to quality of life not only during menopausal transition, but also thereafter, with special awareness of the long term sequelae on women's health.

    Abstract Cancer-derived organoids and three-dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM) are taking center stage as in vitro models to study neoplastic cell behavior, since they recapitulate the heterogeneous cellular composition of tumors and their extracellular environment. In combination with imaging and molecular/biochemical techniques, 3D organoid models have contributed substantially to our knowledge about the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the growth of tumors and invasion into the surrounding tissue. We here outline a set of protocols that describe culturing of cancer-derived organoids in 3D matrices and various strategies that allow modeling of tumor growth, tumor cell penetration into basement membranes, and invasion into Collagen I-rich ECM. Furthermore, we specify protocols for subsequent handling of organoids cultured in 3D ECM for confocal microscopy and analysis of gene expression at the protein and mRNA level. Although we here use breast cancer-derived organoids, these protocols can be directly applied or adapted for organoids derived from other cancer types or healthy tissues. Thus, in addition to investigating cell behavior of multiple cancer types, the combination of protocols described here may be used to study processes such as cell differentiation and migration during homeostasis and normal development.

    Abstract This commentary further reflects on the paper of De Sutter et al. on predicting volume of distribution in neonates, and the performance of physiologically based pharmacokinetic models We hereby stressed the add on value to collaborate on real world data to further close this knowledge gap. We illustrated this by weight distribution characteristics in breastfed (physiology) and in asphyxiated (pathophysiology), with additional reflection on their kidney and liver function.
