Constitutive mitochondrial dynamics ensure quality control and metabolic fitness of cells, and their dysregulation has been implicated in various human diseases. The large GTPase Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is intimately involved in mediating constitutive mitochondrial fission and has been implicated in mitochondrial cell death pathways. During ferroptosis, a recently identified type of regulated necrosis driven by excessive lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial fragmentation has been observed.

Objective: To evaluate patient perception of physician empathy in an emergency oncology setting, comparing video interaction to an in-person with personal protective equipment (PPE) approach.
Methods: In this single-center, prospective, cross-sectional, survey-based randomized controlled trial, patients were randomized 1:1 for the concluding conversation done in-person which included either interacting with physicians wearing PPE or video interaction with physicians without PPE (virtual).
Patients with hematologic malignancies still face a significant risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-neutralizing monoclonal antibody combination tixagevimab/cilgavimab (TIX/CGB) could be administered to immunocompromised patients for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) before the emergence of TIX/CGB-resistant COVID-19 Omicron variants. TIX/CGB application could be carried out regardless of the host's immune response to previous active SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations or infections.

- - The text discusses protocols for treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) in neurointensive care, focusing on managing cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation based on pressure signals, with a reliance on assumed relationships that can be hard to verify.
- - A new hypothesis-driven method is applied to monitoring data to verify these assumed pressure-flow relationships (PFRs) and reveals a specific behavior pattern where the assumptions may be incorrect, which could affect clinical decision-making.
- - The findings encourage the use of detailed clinical data to personalize TBI treatment, suggesting that assessing autoregulation through specific indices could improve understanding and care strategies for patients.
