Background: Non-clinical voice-hearers (NCVHs) have been the subject of a growing body of psychological research, a primary aim of which is the development of new therapeutic techniques to support those who struggle with voice-hearing. However, relatively little research has examined non-clinical voice-hearing experiences beyond their relationship with clinical voice-hearing.

Methods: The present study consists of a qualitative re-analysis of 17 semi-structured interviews conducted as part of an NCVH neuroimaging study which included items from the Psychotic Symptoms Rating Scale (PSYRATS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluated functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) metrics in obese patients, both surgically naïve and those who had undergone bariatric surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
  • Researchers found that common symptoms were dysphagia and chest pain across all patient groups, with notable differences in FLIP response patterns, particularly in patients who had bariatric surgery.
  • Despite many patients showing FLIP abnormalities, these did not correlate with esophageal symptoms or high-resolution manometry (HRM) findings, indicating a need for further investigation into esophageal issues in this population.

Delta-like Ligand 3 (DLL3) targeting therapies are promising in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) treatment. However, DLL3 expression in SCLC and other neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) is heterogeneous and not well characterized. We describe the landscape of DLL3 at the mRNA and protein levels across SCLC, large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), and non-small cell lung cancer.

There are well-documented inequities in the quality of care and health outcomes of minoritized youth. Patient safety and quality improvement (QI) work with an equity focus has been identified as an important strategy to remedy these existing inequities. In this article, we will present evidence of inequities in pediatric hospital-based care, describe root causes with a focus on structural racism, highlight existing frameworks for applying equity principles to patient safety and QI, and provide best practices and recommendations on evaluating patient safety and QI data towards advancing equity in pediatric hospital-based care.
