Objectives: To quantify the change in proportion of young people and adults identified as transgender in UK primary care records and to explore whether rates differ by age and socioeconomic deprivation.
Design: Retrospective, dynamic, cohort study.
Setting: IQVIA Medical Research Data, a database of electronic primary care records capturing data from 649 primary care practices in the UK between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2018.
Collaborative models for the joint production of core health technology assessments: negative and positive aspects for the joint work of different European agencies.

Objectives: The purpose of the European network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA) is to make HTA agencies collaborate sharing methods and tools thus avoiding duplication of evaluative efforts and allowing resource savings. From 2010 to 2012, the activities of the network were carried out through EUnetHTA Joint Action 1 and Work Package 4 Strand B aimed at producing two Core HTAs with two main objectives: to test the Web based Core model and the collaborative working models. Our objective in this article is to give an historical record of the Work Package activities highlighting what worked and what did not in the collaboration of researchers' groups coming from different agencies.

- The study investigates the combustion chemistry of 2,5-dimethylfuran (25DMF) by conducting experiments on its pyrolytic and oxidative behaviors in controlled conditions, focusing on various temperatures, pressures, and compositions.
- It includes the measurement of ignition delay times and burning velocities to address inconsistencies in previous literature and to create a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism with thousands of reactions and species to accurately predict combustion outcomes.
- The results reveal that at high temperatures, the dominant decomposition pathway is a hydrogen atom transfer, which is critical for understanding the ignition and pyrolysis of 25DMF, along with suggesting future directions for research on intermediate reactions.
An experimental ignition delay time study for the promising biofuel 2-methyl furan (2MF) was performed at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.
