Guy's Hospital and its medical school rejoiced in a remarkable group of physicians in the 19th century. These included Richard Bright, a pioneer in the study of chronic nephritis, Thomas Addison, who described two diseases that bear his name (Addison's disease of the suprarenals and Addison's, or pernicious, anaemia), Thomas Hodgkin, who gave the first clear account of lymphadenoma and Sir William Gull, who documented myxoedema, its relationship to the thyroid and its resemblance to cretinism in children.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of forecasting future health issues in the USA for effective planning and public awareness regarding disease and injury burdens.
- It describes the methodology for predicting life expectancy, cause-specific mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 2022 to 2050 using the Global Burden of Diseases framework.
- The forecasting includes various scenarios to assess the potential impacts of health risks and improvements across the country, focusing on demographic trends and health-related risk factors.
Derivation of two induced pluripotent stem cell lines from a healthy control subject.
Stem Cell Res
December 2024
Ocular Tissue Engineering Laboratory, Lions Eye Institute, Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia; Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia. Electronic address:
Two human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, LEIi021-A and LEIi021-B, were derived from dermal fibroblasts from a healthy control subject from an Australian Aboriginal family with retinitis pigmentosa-11. Reprogramming was performed using episomal vectors expressing OCT4, SOX2, LIN28, L-MYC, KLF4 and mp53DD. Pluripotency markers were expressed in both LEIi021-A and LEIi021-B lines.

School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia; Central Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia; Respiratory Medicine, Alfred Health, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Lung cancer in Australia contributes 9% of all new cancer diagnoses and is the leading cause of cancer death and burden. Clinical practice guidelines provide evidence-based treatment recommendations for best practice management. We aimed to determine the extent of delivery of guideline-concordant treatment (GCT) and to identify modifiable variables influencing receipt of GCT and survival.

- Researchers studied strokes from 1990 to 2021 to understand how many people get them and how they are affected around the world.
- In 2021, strokes caused about 7.3 million deaths and were a major cause of health problems, especially in specific regions like Southeast Asia and Oceania.
- There are differences in stroke risks based on where people live and their age, and some areas actually saw more strokes happening since 2015.
Radiosurgery Society Case-Based Guide to Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Challenging Cases of Spinal Metastases.
Pract Radiat Oncol
September 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology and Molecular Radiation Sciences, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland. Electronic address:
Purpose: Spinal stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has become the standard of care in management of patients with limited sites of metastatic disease, radioresistant histologies, painful vertebral metastases with long life expectancy and cases of reirradiation. Our case-based guidelines aim to assist radiation oncologists in the appropriate utilization of SBRT for common, yet challenging, cases of spinal metastases.
Methods And Materials: Cases were selected to include scenarios of large volume sacral disease with nerve entrapment, medically inoperable disease abutting the thecal sac, and local failure after prior SBRT.
