Disparities in the cancer continuum experienced by transgender and gender-diverse patients: A rapid review.

Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) populations experience health disparities across all areas of health care due to issues of bias, discrimination, and structural barriers to care. Existing literature on cancer screening in TGD populations demonstrates significant gaps in care; for example, transgender men receive Pap smears at lower rates than cisgender women. Because of known disparities in cancer screening, and gaps in our understanding in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship, the authors conducted a rapid review of the literature to examine cancer care continuum (screening, treatment, and survivorship) disparities among TGD persons.

Providers' Beliefs and Values: Understanding Their Approach to Gender-Affirming Care.

Objectives: This qualitative study explored the beliefs and values influencing healthcare providers' delivery of gender-affirming care (GAC) to transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) youth amidst current social and political dynamics.

RSM01, a novel respiratory syncytial virus monoclonal antibody: preclinical characterization and results of a first-in-human, randomised clinical trial.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease among infants and young children worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). RSM01 is a novel, highly potent, half-life-extended anti-RSV monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidate primarily being developed for LMICs. Here we present the preclinical characterisation and results of a phase 1 trial of RSM01.

Outcome of emergency neurosurgery in patients with refractory and super-refractory status epilepticus: a systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.

Background: Refractory (RSE) and super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) are serious neurological conditions requiring aggressive management. Beyond anesthetic agents, there is a lack of evidence guiding management in these patients. This systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis (IPDMA) seeks to evaluate and compare the currently available surgical techniques for the acute treatment of RSE and SRSE.
