Background: Homeless street sweeps are frequent operations in many cities in the USA in which government agencies move unhoused people living in public outdoor areas. Little research exists on the health impact of street sweeps operations.
Objective: This study was created at the request of community advocacy groups to investigate and document the health impacts of street sweeps from the perspective of healthcare providers.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how to diagnose and understand the mechanisms behind non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain's leptomeninges, where obtaining tissue samples is difficult.
- Researchers combined single-cell RNA sequencing and cell-free RNA analysis to identify gene expressions in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from NSCLC patients with suspected leptomeningeal metastases.
- They found that the gene CEACAM6 serves as a significant marker for these patients and plays a role in cancer cell migration, suggesting its involvement in the progression of NSCLC in the brain.
Purpose: Firearm injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. However, many medical professionals currently receive minimal or no education on firearm injury or its prevention. The authors sought to convene a diverse group of national experts in firearm injury epidemiology, injury prevention, and medical education to develop consensus on priorities to inform the creation of learning objectives and curricula for firearm injury education for medical professionals.
