Antibody-based pharmaceuticals are the leading biologic drug platform (> $75B/year). Despite a wealth of information collected on them, there is still a lack of knowledge on their inter-domain structural distributions, which impedes innovation and development. To address this measurement gap, we have developed a new methodology to derive biomolecular structure ensembles from distance distribution measurements via a library of tagged proteins bound to an unlabeled and otherwise unmodified target biologic.

Background: Early rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia (RSI) and tracheal intubation for patients with airway or ventilatory compromise following major trauma is recommended, with guidance suggesting a 45-min timeframe. Whilst on-scene RSI is recommended, the potential time benefit offered by Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) has not been studied. We compared the time from 999/112 emergency call to delivery of RSI between patients intubated either in the Emergency Department or pre-hospital by HEMS.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study highlights the importance of effective pre-hospital care for penetrating neck injuries (PNI) in the UK, noting a lack of established guidelines for managing such cases in resource-limited settings.
  • - A modified e-Delphi study was conducted with 28 subject matter experts who reached consensus on 19 key statements about PNI management, ultimately leading to the creation of a management algorithm.
  • - The goal of this consensus is to provide essential guidance for treating PNI in challenging situations, aiming to enhance patient outcomes through optimized care strategies.

Background: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a focal idiopathic alteration of subchondral bone and/or its precursor with risk for instability and disruption of adjacent cartilage. Treatment options focused on preventing premature osteoarthritis vary depending on multiple patient and lesion characteristics, including lesion mobility.

Purpose: To differentiate lesion mobility before arthroscopy using a multivariable model that includes patient demographic characteristics and physical examination findings.

Nucleic acid sequencing technologies have gone through extraordinary advancements in the past several decades, significantly increasing throughput while reducing cost. To create similar advancement in proteomics, numerous approaches are being investigated to advance protein sequencing. One of the promising approaches uses N-terminal amino acid binders (NAABs), also referred to as recognizers, that selectively can identify amino acids at the N-terminus of a peptide.
