The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) was established a quarter of a century ago in 1999 to regulate the cost-effectiveness of pharmaceuticals (and other health technologies) for the NHS. Drawing on medical sociology theories of corporate bias, neoliberalism, pluralism/polycentricity and regulatory capture, the purpose of this article is to examine the applicability of those theories to NICE as a key regulatory agency in the UK health system. Based on approximately 7 years of documentary research, interviews with expert informants and observations of NICE-related meetings, this paper focuses particularly on NICE's relationship with the interests of the pharmaceutical industry compared with other stakeholder interests at the meso-organisational level.

EGFR status assessment is mandatory for adjuvant decision-making of resected stage IB-IIIA non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC). It is questionable whether single-gene RT-PCR versus next-generation sequencing (NGS) should be used for this evaluation. Moreover, co-occurring mutations have an impact on tumor behavior and may influence future therapeutic decision-making.

Introduction: Most people with bipolar disorder (BD) experience sleep disturbances across mood states and many identify sleep changes before both depressive and manic episodes. Nearly half of all patients have multiple relapses of BD and identifying early warning signs of relapse, such as sleep changes, could benefit both patients and clinicians as a preventive strategy.
Methods: A systematic search of the databases Embase, APA PsychINFO, and MEDLINE was performed to identify studies that investigated the relationship between sleep changes and mood in BD.

Background: Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy, characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal plasmocytes in the bone marrow. Despite advancements with proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents, and CD38-targeting antibodies, MM remains largely incurable due to resistant clones and frequent relapses. The success of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) in MM treatment highlights the critical role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in this disease.
