Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is rarer in children (chILD) than adults, but with increasing diagnostic awareness, more cases are being discovered. chILD prognosis is often poor, but increasing numbers are now surviving into adulthood.

Aim: To characterize chILD-survivors and identify their impact on adult-ILD centers.

Article Synopsis
  • The IMWG frailty index shows that frailty levels in patients undergoing anti-myeloma treatment can change frequently over time.
  • Assessing frailty dynamically during treatment provides better predictions for survival and early mortality than just looking at initial frailty levels.
  • The study references two clinical trials, HOVON 143 (NTR6297) and HOVON 123 (NTR4244), related to this research.

Background: Recovery from severe mental illness, including psychosis has been described as a personal and unique process, but it rarely is a journey undertaken without profound influences of significant others (family, mental health professionals). Diverging perspectives between persons with severe mental illness, family and professionals are frequent during the recovery process, notably in psychotic disorders. We aimed to explore processes of collaboration during recovery, to inform recovery supporting practices.

Interferons (IFNs) are a critical component of innate immune defenses and limit viral disease severity. To advance studies on IFNs and their neutralization by pathogenic autoantibodies, we generated a Renilla luciferase-based reporter cell line capable of detecting the activities of IFN-Is, IFN-II, and IFN-IIIs. The reporter cell line exhibits a 125- to 2000-fold higher sensitivity to IFNs than a commonly used alternative biological reporter system and allows for a rapid and simple live-cell workflow for detecting low titer amounts of neutralizing anti-IFN antibodies.
