Studies addressing patients' experiences of person-centered care (PCC) in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are scarce; hence, this study aimed to explore patients' experiences of PCC, and its associations with individual characteristics and health-related quality of life, in the context of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. It is a cross-sectional survey study, in patients who had undergone an allo-HSCT at one center in Sweden. The PCC instrument for outpatient care in rheumatology (PCCoc/rheum) was used.

However, the current literature of large RCTs reporting long-term outcomes of CDA primarily comprises of the industry sponsored Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trials. As a result, CDA has yet to be universally accepted by surgeons due to concerns of bias in the current literature.

- Researchers discovered a new compound called sanyensin from deep-sea bacteria, characterized by its unique macrodiolide structure.
- They established its stereochemistry using advanced techniques like NOEs and a novel workflow that simplifies the analysis of flexible molecular structures.
- This study enhances understanding of deep-sea microbial biosynthesis and offers a streamlined approach for identifying and confirming new natural products.
The global corrosion cost is estimated to be around 2.5 trillion USD, which is more than 3 % of the global GDP. Against this background, large efforts have been made to find effective corrosion inhibitors.

- Clinical trials indicate that cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) is a safe, effective alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for treating cervical degenerative disc disease, with various CDA devices available that differ in constraint levels.
- The study utilized a systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing outcomes of ACDF versus CDA across different constraint levels in a sizable patient sample over at least two years.
- Results showed that both semiconstrained and unconstrained CDA types had a lower risk of adjacent segment degeneration and subsequent surgeries compared to ACDF; semiconstrained CDA also had a lower risk of reoperation at the index level.
