Background: Our patient and public involvement activities were part of a project aiming to develop a master protocol and National Institute for Health and Care research application for the PROTECT trial aiming to assess the effectiveness, implementation, and efficiency of antimicrobial stewardship interventions, to safely reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage by excluding severe bacterial infection in acutely unwell patients.
Methods: Three public involvement sessions were held with representation from young people and parents, people from diverse backgrounds and people with experience of presenting to the emergency department with undifferentiated illness. The teleconference meetings lasted between 60-90 minutes, were recorded, notes were subsequently taken, and findings summarised.

Background: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States, and cases of Lyme disease have nearly doubled since the early 2000s. Symptoms and presentation vary based on severity of illness, with more serious complications of disease consisting of neurologic and cardiac dysfunction. Testing is often unreliable, which can lead to delayed diagnosis and management.

Aims: Threonine and tyrosine kinase (TTK) is up-regulated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), yet its expression in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) remains unexplored. This investigation aims to assess TTK protein expression in treatment-naïve pre-treatment cores and paired pre- and post-NACT breast cancer (BC) cohorts, as well as its correlation with microcephaly 1 (MCPH1) protein expression.
Methods And Results: Transcriptomic data were sourced from the Gene Expression Omnibus microarray database for mRNA expression analysis.

Background: Facial palsy (FP) is a widespread condition affecting over 3 million people annually, with a complex etiology requiring tailored, multidisciplinary management. Despite advancements, there remains a lack of reliable, automated tools for objective pre- and postoperative assessment, limiting progress in treatment optimization. This study introduces the AI Research Metrics Model (CAARISMA ® ARMM) to evaluate FP severity and outcomes following microsurgical gracilis muscle transfer.

Background: Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is life-threatening with a rising incidence due to improved neonatal care. While researchers' focus has shifted to causes, risk factors and preventative clinical strategies, little is known about the exact aetiology of NEC. Risk factors include the relationship between red blood cell transfusions (RBCTs) and the development of transfusion-associated NEC (TANEC) and peri-transfusion feeding, increasing the risk of TANEC.
