Modular Synthesis of Anti-HER2 Dual-Drug Antibody-Drug Conjugates Demonstrating Improved Toxicity.

Antibodies have gained clinical success in the last two decades for the targeted delivery of highly toxic small molecule chemotherapeutics. Yet antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) often fail in the clinic due to the development of resistance. The delivery of two mechanistically distinct small molecule drugs on one antibody is of increasing interest to overcome these challenges with single-drug ADCs.

Factors associated with anxiety and depression one year after trauma critical care admission: A multi-centre study.

Background: Recovery after severe injury may be impacted by a range of psychological factors. This multi-site study investigated the prevalence and impact of anxiety and depression at one year after trauma critical care admission.

Methods: Adult trauma patients admitted to four Level 1 Critical Care Units were prospectively enrolled over 18 months.

Digital empowerment in long-term condition management: A systematic review and narrative synthesis of the experiences and perceptions of home-based digital health coaching interventions.

Objectives: Globally, the prevalence of long-term conditions (LTCs) continues to rise. The impact of LTCs presents significant challenges for international health and social care systems and continues to be a leading cause of mortality. Despite this, digital health coaching interventions (DHCIs) appear to be a promising strategy for managing chronic disease.

The Physiome Project and Digital Twins.

Interest in the concept of a virtual human model that can encompass human physiology and anatomy on a biophysical (mechanistic) basis, and can assist with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of disease, appears to be growing rapidly around the globe. When such models are personalised and coupled with continual diagnostic measurements, they are called 'digital twins'. We argue here that the most useful form of virtual human model will be one that is constrained by the laws of physics, contains a comprehensive knowledge graph of all human physiology and anatomy, is multiscale in the sense of linking systems physiology down to protein function, and can to some extent be personalized and linked directly with clinical records.

A comparative study of influenza surveillance systems and administrative data in England during the 2022-2023 season.

Accurate and representative surveillance is essential for understanding the impact of influenza on healthcare systems. During the 2022-2023 influenza season, the Northern Hemisphere experienced its most significant epidemic wave since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Concurrently, new surveillance systems, developed in response to the pandemic, became available within health services.
