Hearing impairment (HI) is a silent planetary health crisis that requires attention worldwide. The prevalence of HI in South Africa is estimated as 5.5 in 100 live births, which is about 5 times higher than the prevalence in high-income countries. This also offers opportunity to drive progressive science, technology and innovation policy, and health systems. We present here a systematic analysis and review on the prevalence, etiologies, clinical patterns, and genetics/genomics of HI in South Africa. We searched PubMed, Scopus, African Journals Online, AFROLIB, and African Index Medicus to identify the pertinent studies on HI in South Africa, published from inception to April 30, 2021, and the data were summarized narratively. We screened 944 records, of which 27 studies were included in the review. The age at diagnosis is ∼3 years of age and the most common factor associated with acquired HI was middle ear infections. There were numerous reports on medication toxicity, with kanamycin-induced ototoxicity requiring specific attention when considering the high burden of tuberculosis in South Africa. The Waardenburg Syndrome is the most common reported syndromic HI. The Usher Syndrome is the only syndrome with genetic investigations, whereby a founder mutation was identified among black South Africans (-c.6377delC). and genes are not major contributors to nonsyndromic HI among Black South Africans. Furthermore, emerging data using targeted panel sequencing have shown a low resolution rate in Black South Africans in known HI genes. Importantly, mutations in known nonsyndromic HI genes are infrequent in South Africa. Therefore, whole-exome sequencing appears as the most effective way forward to identify variants associated with HI in South Africa. Taken together, this article contributes to the emerging field of planetary health genomics with a focus on HI and offers new insights and lessons learned for future roadmaps on genomics/multiomics and clinical studies of HI around the world.

Seizure Oct 2023Bumetanide, an inhibitor of the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter-1, has been suggested as an adjunct to phenobarbital for treating neonatal seizures.
BACKGROUND
Bumetanide, an inhibitor of the sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter-1, has been suggested as an adjunct to phenobarbital for treating neonatal seizures.
METHODS
A systematic review of animal and human studies was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bumetanide for neonatal seizures. PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and Cochrane databases were searched in March 2023.
RESULTS
26 animal (rat or mice) studies describing 38 experiments (28 in-vivo and ten in-vitro) and two human studies (one RCT and one open-label dose-finding) were included. The study designs, methods to induce seizures, bumetanide dose, and outcome measures were heterogeneous, with only 4/38 experiments being in animal hypoxia/ischaemia models. Among 38 animal experiments, bumetanide was reported to have antiseizure effects in 21, pro-seizure in six and ineffective in 11. The two human studies (n = 57) did not show the benefits of bumetanide as an add-on agent to phenobarbital in their primary analyses, but one study reported benefit on post-hoc analysis. Overall, hearing impairment was detected in 5/37 surviving infants in the bumetanide group vs. 0/13 in controls. Four of the five infants with hearing impairment had received aminoglycosides concurrently. Other adverse effects reported were diuresis, mild-to-moderate dehydration, hypotension, and electrolyte disturbances. The studies did not report on long-term neurodevelopment. The certainty of the evidence was very low.
CONCLUSION
Animal data suggest that bumetanide has inconsistent effects as an antiseizure medication in neonates. Data from human studies are scarce and raise some concerns regarding ototoxicity when given with aminoglycosides. Well conducted studies in animal models of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy are urgently needed. Future RCTs, if conducted in human neonates, should have an adequate sample size, assess neurodevelopment, minimize using aminoglycosides, be transparent about the potential ototoxicity in the parent information sheet, conduct early hearing tests and have trial-stopping rules that include hearing impairment as an outcome.

BACKGROUND
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after hip and knee arthroplasty is a leading cause of revision surgery, inferior function, complications, and death. The administration of topical, intrawound vancomycin (vancomycin powder) has appeared promising in some studies, but others have found it ineffective in reducing infection risk; for that reason, a high-quality systematic review of the best-available evidence is needed.
QUESTIONS/PURPOSES
In this systematic review, we asked: (1) Does topical vancomycin (vancomycin powder) reduce PJI risk in hip and knee arthroplasty? (2) Does topical vancomycin lead to an increased risk of complications after hip and knee arthroplasty?
METHODS
A search of Embase, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases as of June 2020 was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies comparing topical vancomycin in addition to standard infection prevention regimens (such as routine perioperative intravenous antibiotics) with standard regimens only in primary hip and knee arthroplasty were identified. Patients 18 years or older with a minimum follow-up of 3 months were included. No restrictions on maximal loss to follow-up or PJI definition were imposed. Studies were excluded if they included patients with a history of septic arthritis, used an antibiotic other than vancomycin or a different route of administration for the intervention, performed additional interventions that differed between groups, or omitted a control group. A total of 2408 studies were screened, resulting in nine eligible studies reviewing 3371 patients who received topical vancomycin (vancomycin powder) during a primary THA or TKA and 2884 patients who did not receive it. Groups were comparable with respect to duration of follow-up and loss to follow-up when reported. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, showing moderate-to-high quality for the included studies. The risks of PJI and overall complications in the topical vancomycin group were compared with those in the control group.
RESULTS
One of nine studies found a lower risk of PJI after primary THA or TKA, while eight did not, with odds ratios that broadly bracketed the line of no difference (range of odds ratios across the nine studies 0.09 to 1.97). In the six studies where overall complications could be compared between topical vancomycin and control groups in primary THA or TKA, there was no difference in overall complication risks with vancomycin (range of ORs across the six studies 0.48 to 0.94); however, we caution that these studies were underpowered to detect differences in the types of uncommon complications associated with vancomycin use (such as allergy, ototoxicity, and nephrotoxicity).
CONCLUSION
In the absence of clear evidence of efficacy, and without a sufficiently large evidence base reporting on safety-related endpoints, topical vancomycin (vancomycin powder) should not be used in routine primary THA and TKA. Adequately powered, multicenter, prospective trials demonstrating clear reductions in infection risk and large registry-driven audits of safety-related endpoints are required before the widespread use of topical vancomycin can be recommended.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE
Level III, therapeutic study.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
Platinum-based therapy, including cisplatin, carboplatin or oxaliplatin, or a combination of these, is used to treat a variety of paediatric malignancies. Unfortunately, one of the most important adverse effects is the occurrence of hearing loss or ototoxicity. In an effort to prevent this ototoxicity, different platinum infusion durations have been studied. This review is the third update of a previously published Cochrane Review.
OBJECTIVES
To assess the effects of different durations of platinum infusion to prevent hearing loss or tinnitus, or both, in children with cancer. Secondary objectives were to assess possible effects of these infusion durations on: a) anti-tumour efficacy of platinum-based therapy, b) adverse effects other than hearing loss or tinnitus, and c) quality of life.
SEARCH METHODS
We searched the electronic databases Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; the Cochrane Library 14 November 2019), MEDLINE (PubMed) (1945 to 14 November 2019) and Embase (Ovid) (1980 to 14 November 2019). In addition, we handsearched reference lists of relevant articles and we assessed the conference proceedings of the International Society for Paediatric Oncology (2009 up to and including 2019) and the American Society of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology (2014 up to and including 2019). We scanned ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (WHO ICTRP; apps.who.int/trialsearch) for ongoing trials (both searched on 4 November 2019).
SELECTION CRITERIA
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (CCTs) comparing different platinum infusion durations in children with cancer. Only the platinum infusion duration could differ between the treatment groups.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Two review authors independently performed the study selection, 'Risk of bias' assessment and GRADE assessment of included studies, and data extraction including adverse effects. Analyses were performed according to the guidelines of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions.
MAIN RESULTS
We identified one RCT and no CCTs; in this update no additional eligible studies were identified. The RCT (total number of children = 91) evaluated the use of a continuous cisplatin infusion (N = 43) versus a one-hour bolus cisplatin infusion (N = 48) in children with neuroblastoma. For the continuous infusion, cisplatin was administered on days one to five of the cycle, but it is unclear if the infusion duration was a total of five days. Risk of bias was present. Only results from shortly after induction therapy were provided. No clear evidence of a difference in hearing loss (defined as asymptomatic and symptomatic disease combined) between the different infusion durations was identified as results were imprecise (risk ratio (RR) 1.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47 to 4.13, low-quality evidence). Although the numbers of children were not provided, it was stated that tumour response was equivalent in both treatment arms. With regard to adverse effects other than ototoxicity, we were only able to assess toxic deaths. Again, the confidence interval of the estimated effect was too wide to exclude differences between the treatment groups (RR 1.12, 95% CI 0.07 to 17.31, low-quality evidence). No data were available for the other outcomes of interest (i.e. tinnitus, overall survival, event-free survival and quality of life) or for other (combinations of) infusion durations or other platinum analogues.
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS
Since only one eligible RCT evaluating the use of a continuous cisplatin infusion versus a one-hour bolus cisplatin infusion was found, and that had methodological limitations, no definitive conclusions can be made. It should be noted that 'no evidence of effect', as identified in this review, is not the same as 'evidence of no effect'. For other (combinations of) infusion durations and other platinum analogues no eligible studies were identified. More high-quality research is needed.

Aminoglycosides are widely used antibiotics with notable side effects, such as nephrotoxicity, vestibulotoxicity, and sensorineural hearing loss (cochleotoxicity). MT-RNR1 is a gene that encodes the 12s rRNA subunit and is the mitochondrial homologue of the prokaryotic 16s rRNA. Some MT-RNR1 variants (i.e., m.1095T>C; m.1494C>T; m.1555A>G) more closely resemble the bacterial 16s rRNA subunit and result in increased risk of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss. Use of aminoglycosides should be avoided in individuals with an MT-RNR1 variant associated with an increased risk of aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss unless the high risk of permanent hearing loss is outweighed by the severity of infection and safe or effective alternative therapies are not available. We summarize evidence from the literature supporting this association and provide therapeutic recommendations for the use of aminoglycosides based on MT-RNR1 genotype (updates at https://cpicpgx.org/guidelines/ and www.pharmgkb.org).

Meta-Analysis
IMPORTANCE
Platinum-induced ototoxic effects are a significant issue because platinum-based chemotherapy is one of the most commonly used therapeutic medications. Sodium thiosulfate (STS) is considered a potential otoprotectant for the prevention of platinum-induced ototoxic effects that functions by binding the platinum-based agent, but its administration raises concerns regarding the substantial attenuation of the antineoplastic outcome associated with platinum.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the association between concurrent STS and reduced risk of ototoxic effects among patients undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy and to evaluate outcomes, including event-free survival, overall survival, and adverse outcomes.
DATA SOURCES
From inception through November 7, 2020, databases, including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus, were searched.
STUDY SELECTION
Studies enrolling patients with cancer who were undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy that compared ototoxic effects development between patients who received STS and patients who did not and provided adequate information for meta-analysis were regarded as eligible. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS
The data were extracted by 2 reviewers independently. A random-effects model was used to explore objectives.
MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES
Relative risks (RRs) for ototoxic effects development and hemopoietic event development comparing the experimental group and the control group were estimated. Secondary outcomes were hazard ratios (HRs) for event-free survival and overall survival. Sensitivity analysis and trial sequential analysis were conducted to further consolidate pooled results.
RESULTS
Among 4 eligible studies that were included, there were 3 randomized clinical trials and 1 controlled study. A total of 278 patients were allocated to the experimental group (ie, platinum-based chemotherapy plus STS; 158 patients, including 13 patients using contralatral ears of the control group as samples) or the control group (ie, chemotherapy; 133 patients, including 13 patients using contralateral ears of the experimental group as samples). Overall, patients who received STS had a statistically significantly decreased risk of ototoxic effects during the course of platinum-based chemotherapy (RR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.49-0.77; P < .001; I2 = 5.0%) without a statistically significant increase in the risk of poor event-free survival (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.70-1.82; P = .61; I2 = 0%) or overall survival (HR, 1.90; 95% CI, 0.90-4.03; P = .09; I2 = 0%). In the trial sequential analysis of event-free survival (z = -0.52) and overall survival (z = -1.68), although the cumulative z curves did not surpass the traditional significance boundary (-1.96 to 1.96 for both) or sequential monitoring boundary (event-free survival: -8.0 to 8.0; overall survival boundary not renderable in the analysis because the information size was too small) of the adjusted CI, they did not reach the required information size.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
This meta-analysis found that concurrent STS delivery was associated with a decreased risk of platinum-induced ototoxic effects among patients treated with platinum-induced chemotherapy. These findings suggest that concurrent STS for protection against ototoxic effects should be considered for patients indicated for platinum-based chemotherapy.

Meta-Analysis
Hearing loss is a common disability in infants that significantly impacts their cognitive, language, and literacy development. This study aimed to systematically assess the risk factors for the early identification and intervention in infant hearing loss. Databases were searched for meta-analyses of observational studies until November 2023. The quality assessment was performed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the certainty of the evidence. A meta-analysis identified 14 risk factors significantly associated with infant hearing loss. According to the GRADE approach, there were four factors with moderate-certainty evidence (low birth weight(LBW), congenital anomalies, craniofacial anomalies, intracranial hemorrhages), seven factors with low-certainty evidence (ototoxic medications, family history of hearing loss, mechanical ventilation > 5 days, intrauterine infection, admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) > 5 days, mechanical ventilation and asphyxia) and six with extremely-low-certainty evidence (very low birth weight < 1500 g (VLBW), hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis or meningitis, male sex, premature birth, small for gestational age (SGA)). Nevertheless, no significant association was found between infant hearing loss and factors such as small for gestational age (SGA), male sex, and premature birth (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The identification of these 14 interrelated risk factors can prove advantageous in clinical practice, as these findings could guide hearing screening and parental counseling. Furthermore, prospective research could be conducted to develop risk-based scoring systems based on these factors. What is Known: • Infant hearing loss is a worldwide issue. • Risk factors for this condition are debated. What is New: • This is the first meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate perinatal and postnatal risk factors for hearing loss in infants. • Intracranial hemorrhage, mechanical ventilation, and low birth weight are associated with infant hearing loss. However, no evidence of an association was found between premature birth, being small for gestational age, or male sex and hearing loss.

BACKGROUND
Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy are effective in cancer treatment, different adverse effects induced by these therapeutic modalities (such as ototoxicity) restrict their clinical use. Co-treatment of melatonin may alleviate the chemotherapy/radiotherapy-induced ototoxicity.
OBJECTIVE
In the present study, the otoprotective potentials of melatonin against the ototoxicity induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy were reviewed.
METHODS
According to the PRISMA guideline, a systematic search was carried out to identify all relevant studies on "the role of melatonin against ototoxic damage associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy" in the different electronic databases up to September 2022. Sixty-seven articles were screened based on a predefined set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seven eligible studies were finally included in this review.
RESULTS
The in vitro findings showed that cisplatin chemotherapy significantly decreased the auditory cell viability compared to the control group; in contrast, the melatonin co-administration increased the cell viability of cisplatin-treated cells. The results obtained from the distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests demonstrated a decreased amplitude of DPOAE and increased values of ABR I-IV interval and ABR threshold in mice/rats receiving radiotherapy and cisplatin; nevertheless, melatonin co-treatment indicated an opposite pattern on these evaluated parameters. It was also found that cisplatin and radiotherapy could significantly induce the histological and biochemical changes in the auditory cells/tissue. However, melatonin co-treatment resulted in alleviating the cisplatin/radiotherapy-induced biochemical and histological changes.
CONCLUSION
According to the findings, it was shown that melatonin co-treatment alleviates the ototoxic damage induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Mechanically, melatonin may exert its otoprotective effects via its anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory activities and other mechanisms.

INTRODUCTION
Although cancer treatment with cisplatin is effective, dose-dependent adverse effects such as ototoxicity occurs often, which limits its clinical use. The use of resveratrol may alleviate the cisplatin-induced ototoxic effects. This study is aimed to review the potential otoprotective effects of resveratrol against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
METHOD
According to the PRISMA guideline, a systematic search was accomplished to identify all relevant scientific papers on "the role of resveratrol against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity" in different electronic databases up to May 2021. Fifty-five articles were screened based on a pre-defined set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight eligible studies were finally included in the current systematic review. The in-vitro findings revealed that cisplatin administration significantly decreased the HEI-OC1 cell viability compared to the untreated cells; however, resveratrol co-treatment (in a dose-dependent manner) could protect HEI-OC1 cells against cisplatin-induced decrease in cell viability.
RESULTS
Furthermore, the in-vivo finding showed a decreased value of DPOAE, and increased values of ABR threshold, ABR-I, ABR-IV, and ABR I-IV interval in cisplatin-treated animals; in contrast, resveratrol co-administration demonstrated an opposite pattern on these parameters.
CONCLUSION
Thus, it can be mentioned that resveratrol co-treatment alleviates cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Mechanically, resveratrol exerts its otoprotective effects through various mechanisms such as anti-oxidant, anti-apoptosis, and anti-inflammatory.

BACKGROUND
Osteosarcoma is the most common bone tumor in children and adolescents. Despite multiagent chemotherapy, only 71% of patients survives and these survivors often experience long-term toxicities. The main objective of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the discovery of novel associations of germline polymorphisms with treatment response and/or chemotherapy-induced toxicities in osteosarcoma. METHODS: MEDLINE and Embase were systematically searched (2010-July 2022). Genetic association studies were included if they assessed > 10 germline genetic variants in > 5 genes in relevant drug pathways or if they used a genotyping array or other large-scale genetic analysis. Quality was assessed using adjusted STrengthening the REporting of Genetic Association studies (STREGA)-guidelines. To find additional evidence for the identified associations, literature was searched to identify replication studies.
RESULTS
After screening 1999 articles, twenty articles met our inclusion criteria. These range from studies focusing on genes in relevant pharmacokinetic pathways to whole genome sequencing. Eleven articles reported on doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. For seven genetic variants in CELF4, GPR35, HAS3, RARG, SLC22A17, SLC22A7 and SLC28A3, replication studies were performed, however without consistent results. Ototoxicity was investigated in one study. Five small studies reported on mucosistis or bone marrow, nephro- and/or hepatotoxicity. Six studies included analysis for treatment efficacy. Genetic variants in ABCC3, ABCC5, FasL, GLDC, GSTP1 were replicated in studies using heterogeneous efficacy outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS
Despite that results are promising, the majority of associations were poorly reproducible due to small patient cohorts. For the future, hypothesis-generating studies in large patient cohorts will be necessary, especially for cisplatin-induced ototoxicity as these are largely lacking. In order to form large patient cohorts, national and international collaboration will be essential.
