A middle-aged, mixed-race woman is the third patient to be potentially cured of HIV, with the virus in long-term remission four years after she received a transplant of stem cells harvested from an infant’s umbilical cord blood, scientists said Tuesday. The new case, reported at the annual meeting of the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infection, is the first time the transplant approach has been successfully reported in a mixed-race woman, an advance that reinforces the exciting concept that an HIV cure may be possible in a wider array of people by using cord blood. One-off reports of long-term HIV remission have inspired hope and reignited the search for an HIV cure, but they also come with inherent limitations. All of the patients, including the middle-aged woman, who was treated by doctors at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, received the transplant as part of treatment for cancer.

👑The Queen has returned to in-person engagements for the first time since the Royal family's Covid scare and made a rare concession to the constraints of older age by telling her guests: "I can't move." The monarch greeted her visitors standing up with a walking stick, pointing to her left leg to briefly acknowledge her limited mobility. The audience with Major General Eldon Millar, the incoming Defence Services Secretary, and his predecessor, Rear Admiral James Macleod, also saw a starring role for her dog Candy, who gave a small protective growl after coming across the guests in a corridor. 🔗Read more at the link in bio #royalfamily#royal #royalty #foreverroyal #britishroyalfamily #queen

A child who was reported missing in 2019 when she was 4 years old was found hidden a wooden staircase with her noncustodial mother, in a home officials had visited several times while investigating her disappearance, authorities said Tuesday. The child, Paislee Joann Shultis, now 6, was reported missing on July 13, 2019, from Cayuga Heights, a village on the outskirts of Ithaca, New York. At the time, she was believed to have been abducted by her noncustodial parents, Kimberly Cooper and Kirk Shultis Jr., police said in a news release. Throughout the 2.5-year investigation, authorities received several tips about the Saugerties-area home where the child was eventually located — but each time, the residents denied knowing anything about the girl’s whereabouts, the release said.
