Pre-clinical and initial studies in humans suggest that serotonin 2A receptor agonists, including serotonergic psychedelics, have anti-inflammatory effects. This may contribute to its therapeutic effects as previous studies indicate a link between neuropsychiatric disorders and inflammatory processes.

- Exercise training plays a crucial role in cancer care by reducing treatment side effects and enhancing quality of life, supported by evidence showing its impact on immune responses in mouse models.
- A clinical trial called HI AIM is being conducted with 70 patients that investigates the effects of supervised high-intensity exercise on immune cell infiltration in lung cancer patients undergoing standard treatments like checkpoint inhibitors.
- The trial will measure various outcomes, including levels of circulating immune cells, physical fitness, and quality of life, by taking blood samples and biopsies at multiple stages during a six-week exercise program.
Introduction: Survival has improved among very preterm born infants, but improved treatment strategies might be associated with increasing rates of neonatal morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess survival and major morbidities among very and extremely preterm born infants treated in a Danish neonatal intensive care unit.
Methods: This was an observational cohort study including very preterm infants (gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks) born between year 2000 and 2013.
