Introduction: Around 1 in 20 patients experience avoidable healthcare-associated harm worldwide. Despite longstanding concerns, there is insufficient information available about the safety of healthcare for prisoners. To address this, this study will investigate the scale and nature of avoidable healthcare-associated harm for prisoners in England.

- The study aimed to describe a new prenatal technique for myelomeningocele (MMC) repair using a minimally invasive method with a decellularized human umbilical cord graft for covering the spinal defect.
- A cohort of 57 patients from an ongoing study showed positive postnatal outcomes, with most patients achieving independent or therapeutic ambulation and a low incidence of serious complications like CSF leaks.
- Findings include a significant rate of complete reversal of hindbrain herniation at birth and a manageable percentage of spinal inclusion cysts that required minimal surgical intervention.
Introduction Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) is a rare complication of regional anesthesia. Pregnancy is a risk factor due to gestational physiologic changes. Labor and disorders of pregnancy can mask or delay symptoms of LAST, slowing appropriate intervention.

- Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects up to 25% of people worldwide, leading to fat buildup in liver cells, with its severe form, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), causing inflammation and potential liver transplants.
- Research shows BRUCE, a liver cancer suppressor, is decreased in MASLD/MASH patients, and its role in these conditions needs further exploration, particularly in combination with the tumor suppressor PTEN.
- In experiments with liver-specific double knockout mice (BRUCE and PTEN), BRUCE-deficient mice showed no liver disease, while the double knockout developed significant steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, suggesting BRUCE helps regulate mitochondrial function
