Objectives: Current research increasingly describes physicians' health as endangered. Interventions to improve physicians' health show inconsistent results. In order to investigate possible causes for weak long-term effects, we examined senior physicians' perceptions about the relevance of their own health and analyzed whether and how these might affect the difficulty to improve physicians' health.

Article Synopsis
  • MET amplification in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common resistance to EGFR inhibitors, and combining EGFR and MET inhibitors shows promise but has varied definitions of MET amplification.
  • In a study of 43 patients with MET copy number gain, those who received the combination of EGFR and MET inhibitors had an 82% clinical benefit rate and longer progression-free survival compared to those receiving MET inhibitors alone or standard of care.
  • The findings suggest that true MET amplification drives better outcomes with combination therapy, indicating a need for further research into how different types of MET copy number gain affect treatment response.

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy can induce changes in the maternal immune response, with effects on pregnancy outcome and offspring. This is a cross-sectional observational study designed to characterize the immunological status of pregnant women with convalescent COVID-19 at distinct pregnancy trimesters. The study focused on providing a clear snapshot of the interplay among serum soluble mediators.

In a screening of a small library of extracts from plants of the Amazonian and Cerrado biomes, a hexane extract of Connarus tuberosus roots was found to significantly potentiate the GABA induced fluorescence in a fluorescence (FLIPR) assay in CHO cells stably expressing the αβγ subtype of human GABA receptors. With the aid of HPLC-based activity profiling the activity was linked to the neolignan connarin. In CHO cells the activity of connarin was not abolished by increasing concentrations of flumazenil, while the effect of diazepam was increased by increasing concentrations of connarin.

Seafood processing creates enormous amounts of side-streams. This review deals with the use of seafood side-streams for transformation into valuable products and identifies suitable approaches for making use of it for different purposes. Starting at the stage of catching fish to its selling point, many of the fish parts, such as head, skin, tail, fillet cut-offs, and the viscera, are wasted.
