Objective: Experiencing physical symptoms that are medically not yet explained (MNYES) is associated with considerable burden in daily life. Research priorities in this area have been primarily investigator-driven. The present study identifies the top 10 research priorities, incorporating the views of patients, carers and healthcare professionals.

- Nonablative lasers effectively treat photoaged skin by stimulating collagen without damaging the outer layer of the skin.
- This study assessed the safety and effectiveness of a combination of 1440 nm and 1927 nm lasers in improving signs of photodamage in 28 participants through four treatment sessions spaced a month apart.
- Results showed significant improvement in skin appearance at both one and three months post-treatment, with high satisfaction rates and minimal side effects reported by participants.
Background: The interaction between iron status and malaria is incompletely understood. We evaluated longitudinal changes in iron homeostasis in volunteers enrolled in malaria volunteer infection studies (VIS) and in Malaysian patients with falciparum and vivax malaria.
Methods: We retrieved data and samples from 55 participants (19 female) enrolled in malaria VIS, and 171 patients (45 female) with malaria and 30 healthy controls (13 female) enrolled in clinical studies in Malaysia.
Objectives: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with hospital-associated thrombosis (HAT) accounting for at least half of VTE. We set out to understand more about deaths from HAT in England, to focus improvement efforts where they are needed most.
Design: A retrospective cohort combining death certification and hospital activity data to identify people with an inpatient or day case hospitalisation where no VTE diagnosis was recorded, and who died from VTE in a hospital or within 90 days of discharge, between April 2017 and March 2020.
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine research priorities for the management of major trauma, representing the shared priorities of patients, their families, carers and healthcare professionals.
Design/setting: An international research priority-setting partnership.
Participants: People who have experienced major trauma, their carers and relatives, and healthcare professionals involved in treating patients after major trauma.
