General Kernel Machine Methods for Multi-Omics Integration and Genome-Wide Association Testing With Related Individuals.

Integrating multi-omics data may help researchers understand the genetic underpinnings of complex traits and diseases. However, the best ways to integrate multi-omics data and use them to address pressing scientific questions remain a challenge. One important and topical problem is how to assess the aggregate effect of multiple genomic data types (e.

Established and emerging roles for pharmacy in operating theatres: a scoping review.

Background: Pharmacy services at surgical pre-assessment clinics and on inpatient wards are well-documented, but services to theatre appear comparatively under-developed. High-risk and high-cost medicines are used routinely in theatre; pharmacists are well-qualified to optimise their use and improve patient care.

Aim: To determine the range, extent and nature of pharmacy services to theatre internationally, and to describe any reported outcomes of these services.

European recommendations from health care professionals and people living with obesity on safe practice for bariatric and metabolic surgery medical tourism: a modified delphi consensus statement from EASO, IFSO-EC and ECPO.

Background: Bariatric and metabolic surgery tourism (BMT) is becoming an increasingly popular route to treatment for patients living with obesity. Recent reports have highlighted that some patients travelling abroad for bariatric surgery have received inadequate care, fraudulent care, and, tragically, some cases have resulted in death. This study aimed to define consensus in Europe regarding safe practices concerning BMT.

Development of a sterilization process for amniotic membrane allograft tissue using supercritical carbon dioxide and NovaKill.

Amniotic membrane is arguably one of the most popular biological wound dressings on the market today. Various growth factors and cytokines inherent to amniotic membrane tissue have been recognized as key mediators in wound healing and tissue regeneration, giving the tissue its clinical utility. Sterilization methodologies using irradiation are recognized as the gold standard in the field and routinely used to prepare tissue allografts, including amniotic membrane for transplantation.
