Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies - which allow to look at large parts or even the whole genome at once - are making their way into diagnostic clinical care.

Study Design And Methods: CCWG members (Intensivists, ethicists, nurses, MDH and MHA leaders) met by audio video conferencing as often as daily assessing COVID and non-COVID hospitalization data, developed surge indicators reflecting contingency versus crisis conditions, and planned responses collaboratively. A foundation of collaboration and teamwork developed which facilitated an effective statewide response.

Article Synopsis
- There is an increasing focus on ethical challenges in genomics research for Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) due to the vulnerabilities of study participants.
- A systematic review of 5,509 papers narrowed down to 27 relevant studies, uncovering 109 ethical issues categorized under a framework addressing ethical principles specific to AD/ADRD research.
- The review highlights a lack of literature on critical ethical principles like "fair participant selection" and "social value," suggesting a need for more comprehensive research on these topics in various socioeconomic contexts.
