Co-designing a film showcasing the dental experiences of community returners (ex-offenders).

Background: The oral health of over 90,000 individuals in UK prisons is four times worse than the general population. A recent scoping review on the oral health of prisoners inside the justice system highlighted the lack of research about what happens when they transition out of prison to become community returners.

Objectives: To co-design a film to showcase the dental experiences of community returners before and after they transition out of prison, change perceptions and inform oral health research priorities.

EULAR standardised training model for ultrasound-guided, minimally invasive synovial tissue biopsy procedures in large and small joints.

Objectives: To develop an EULAR training model for education in synovial tissue biopsy (STB) under ultrasound guidance (UG) following a stepwise approach: (1) development of educational material on UGSTB in large and small joints; (2) assessment of the validity, reliability and feasibility of the UGSTB educational procedure on cadaveric specimens; (3) validation of this procedure in live patients.

Methods: Using a nominal group (NG) and a DELPHI consensus methodology, educational audio-visual (AV) material and minimal requirements for education in UGSTB were developed by an expert panel. Then the experts performed an UGSTB on cadaveric joints using the developed approach.

Soluble Immune Checkpoint Protein and Lipid Network Associations with All-Cause Mortality Risk: Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program.

Adverse cardiovascular events are emerging with the use of immune checkpoint therapies in oncology. Using datasets in the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine program (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, Jackson Heart Study [JHS], and Framingham Heart Study), we examined the association of immune checkpoint plasma proteins with each other, their associated protein network with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the association of HDL-C- and LDL-C-associated protein networks with all-cause mortality risk. Plasma levels of LAG3 and HAVCR2 showed statistically significant associations with mortality risk.

Recommendations for mitochondria transfer and transplantation nomenclature and characterization.

Intercellular mitochondria transfer is an evolutionarily conserved process in which one cell delivers some of their mitochondria to another cell in the absence of cell division. This process has diverse functions depending on the cell types involved and physiological or disease context. Although mitochondria transfer was first shown to provide metabolic support to acceptor cells, recent studies have revealed diverse functions of mitochondria transfer, including, but not limited to, the maintenance of mitochondria quality of the donor cell and the regulation of tissue homeostasis and remodelling.

Factors associated with menstrual-related disturbances following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: a Spanish retrospective observational study in formerly menstruating women.

Background: A growing body of evidence suggests a potential link between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and menstrual changes in women who were menstruating at the time of vaccination. Nevertheless, the prevalence of this event in those with secondary amenorrhea for different causes, i.e.
