The Kennedy report "Getting it Right for Children and Young People: overcoming cultural barriers in the National Health Service so as to meet their need" (2010) can be seen in the context of a long line of reforming reports that include Beveridge (1942), Sheldon (1967) and Court (1976). In the last 60 years perinatal and infant mortality has been greatly reduced and immunisation greatly expanded. Currently, however, despite many triumphs, statistics for the delivery of child health-based services in the UK are not as satisfactory as those in comparable European Union countries. The Kennedy report and the issues it raises are discussed. General practitioners and those who work for them lack training in child health. Child and adolescent mental health services are inadequate. Suggestions for further discussion are made, for example, is there a case for a full integration of child psychiatry and paediatric training? How can postgraduate training for those working in child health services be made more interdisciplinary?

Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of a Single Lorecivivint Injection in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Multicenter, Observational Extension Trial.

Introduction: Lorecivivint (LOR), a CDC-like kinase/dual-specificity tyrosine kinase (CLK/DYRK) inhibitor thought to modulate inflammatory and Wnt pathways, is being developed as a potential intra-articular knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. The objective of this trial was to evaluate long-term safety of LOR within an observational extension of two phase 2 trials.
Methods: This 60-month, observational extension study (NCT02951026) of a 12-month phase 2a trial (NCT02536833) and 6-month phase 2b trial (NCT03122860) was administratively closed after 36 months as data inferences became limited.
Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line from a Kennedy Disease patient with AR mutation.

Emergency and Critical Care Department, University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (Qingdao Central Hospital), Qingdao 266042, China. Electronic address:
A human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line was generated from patient with Kennedy Disease (KD), who carried the CAG repeat expansion mutation in AR gene. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reprogrammed using non-integrating delivery of KFL4, OCT4, SOX2, BCL-XL and c-MYC. The iPSC line expresses pluripotency markers, displays a normal karyotype, and is capable of differentiate into three germ layers in vitro.

Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Twin Cities Orthopedics, Edina, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) stress techniques-including single-leg stress radiographs, Telos, and KT-1000 arthrometer-are highly accessible and can provide additional diagnostic information to assess ACL and ACL graft integrity. The degree of anterior tibial translation (ATT) may be useful in guiding treatment when a diagnosis on magnetic resonance imaging is not conclusive or for judging if additional treatments, such as anterolateral complex augmentation, may be necessary.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing posterior tibial slope (PTS) on baseline tibial position (BTP) and side-to-side differences (SSD) in ATT.
Sustained virologic suppression of multidrug-resistant HIV in an individual treated with anti-CD4 domain 1 antibody and lenacapavir.

The clinical management of people with multidrug-resistant (MDR) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains challenging despite continued development of antiretroviral agents. A 58-year-old male individual with MDR HIV and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) was treated with a new antiretroviral regimen consisting of anti-CD4 domain 1 antibody UB-421 and capsid inhibitor lenacapavir. The individual experienced delayed but sustained suppression of plasma viremia and a substantial increase in the CD4 T cell count.
