NGS offers comprehensive cancer profiling, which enables clinicians and researchers to better understand the molecular basis of cancer and to tailor treatment strategies accordingly. Targeted therapies based on genomic alterations identified through NGS have shown promise in improving patient outcomes across various cancer types, circumventing resistance mechanisms and enhancing treatment efficacy.

While the acute phase of the pandemic may be waning, the intricacies of COVID-19's impact on neurological health remain a crucial area of investigation. Early recognition of the spectrum of COVID-19 symptoms, ranging from mild fever and cough to life-threatening respiratory distress and multi-organ failure, underscored the significance of neurological complications, including anosmia, seizures, stroke, disorientation, encephalopathy, and paralysis.

Purpose: Given epidemiological data highlighting poor health outcomes for prison staff and correctional workers, this systematic review aims to understand what health promotion interventions, delivered in prison settings, are effective for prison staff health.
Design/methodology/approach: A systematic review was undertaken, with search parameters encompassing papers published over a ten-year period (2013-2023). Health promotion programmes; well-being programmes; and occupational health interventions to support prison staff health as part of a targeted approach or as part of a whole-prison approach were included in the review.
