Neptune-sized planets exhibit a wide range of compositions and densities, depending on factors related to their formation and evolution history, such as the distance from their host stars and atmospheric escape processes. They can vary from relatively low-density planets with thick hydrogen-helium atmospheres to higher-density planets with a substantial amount of water or a rocky interior with a thinner atmosphere, such as HD 95338 b (ref. ), TOI-849 b (ref.

By designing an international expert based Delphi consensus, the study aimed to create recommendations on the pre-, intra-, and post-operative management of antithrombotic therapy in patients scheduled for elective F-BEVAR in high volume centres.
Methods: Eight facilitators created appropriate statements regarding the study topic that were voted on, using a four point Likert scale, by a selected panel of international experts using a three round modified Delphi consensus process.
Identifying unanswered questions and setting the agenda for future systematic research in Multiple Sclerosis. A worldwide, multi-stakeholder Priority Setting project.

April 2022
Background: Eliciting the research priorities of people affected by a condition, carers and health care professionals can increase research value and reduce research waste. The Cochrane Multiple Sclerosis and Rare Disease of CNS Group, in collaboration with the Cochrane Neurological Sciences Field, launched a priority setting exercise with the aim of prioritizing pressing questions to ensure that future systematic reviews are as useful as possible to the people who need them, in all countries, regardless of their economic status.
Method: Sixteen high priority questions on different aspects of MS were developed by members of a multi-stakeholder priority setting Steering Group (SG).
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how clinical factors like the type of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the extent of venous thrombosis affect decisions on the duration of secondary prophylaxis after a first VTE event.
- It involved 1240 patients from 79 clinical centers across 7 countries, focusing primarily on those with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and noting differences in treatment approaches between countries.
- Findings suggest that factors such as proximal DVT, post-thrombotic syndrome signs, residual vein obstruction, treatment duration, and other health conditions significantly influence whether patients continue secondary prophylaxis with anticoagulants.
