Self-replicating RNA (srRNA) technology, in comparison to mRNA vaccines, has shown dose-sparing by approximately 10-fold and more durable immune responses. However, no improvements are observed in the adverse events profile. Here, we develop an srRNA vaccine platform with optimized non-coding regions and demonstrate immunogenicity and safety in preclinical and clinical development.

Creativity and the production of artwork can have an impact on the course and treatment of comorbid severe mental illness and neurodegeneration. We report on a 70-year-old male patient with highly original artistic behavior, who suffered from lifelong recurrent major depression and subsequently developed symptoms of progressive bulbar palsy (PBP). In the context of a systematic literature review, we detail the patient's personal and artistic biographies and portray artwork from his artistic portfolio together with his disease history, clinical examination, psychopathological and neuropsychological evaluations, blood and cerebrospinal fluid analyses, neuroimaging, neurophysiological testing, and psychotherapeutic treatment.

Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed a measurement tool for portfolio evaluations in medical education by examining how consistently different raters scored the portfolios and how suitable the assessment criteria were, according to experts.
- - During the study, data was collected from 5 selected portfolios scored by one gold-standard rater and 6 other trained raters, employing statistical analysis to measure rater alignment and reliability.
- - Results indicated that while overall reliability was moderate, with room for improvement, the assessment criteria showed strong validity, suggesting the tool is credible but requires better training for faculty to enhance scoring consistency.

Direct facility financing (DFF) is gaining popularity in low- and middle-income countries as a modality to finance primary care facilities. Tanzania has introduced DFF with the objectives of streamlining resource allocation, fostering fiscal decentralization, and granting autonomy to health facilities for enhanced service readiness and responsiveness.
