Objective: The objective of this study was to measure and describe the national patient experience of radical cystectomy (RC) pathways in the UK using the validated Cystectomy-Pathway Assessment Tool (C-PAT).

Patients And Methods: A cohort of 1081 patients who underwent RC for bladder cancer, between 1 January 2021 and 31 July 2022 at 33 UK cystectomy centres, returned completed C-PAT responses. SPSS was employed for data summary statistics, including median, interquartile range, Mann Whitney U test or Chi-square test with a 95% confidence interval to assess statistical significance between potentially associated variables.

  • Environmental surveillance helps scientists study how Salmonella Typhi (the germ that causes typhoid fever) spreads in places where many people are sick and there's not much clean water.

  • They noticed that the presence of human waste in the water was linked to more chances of finding the germ, but the timing of when they found it didn't match with the number of people getting sick, showing that this testing can still help track the germ even when fewer people have typhoid fever.

The HECT E3 ubiquitin ligases 1 (WWP1) and 2 (WWP2) are responsible for the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of key tumour suppressor proteins and are dysregulated in various cancers and diseases. Here we expand their limited inhibitor space by identification of NSC-217913 displaying a WWP1 IC of 158.3 µM (95% CI = 128.
