Cataract was used as a model for the prevalence and economic impact of adverse events during the drug development process. Meta-analysis revealed a reported prevalence of cataract at 12.0% (1.0-43.3%), 3.8% (2.4-12.5%), 1.0% (0.0-8.1%), 1.7% (0.0-34.8%) and 3.8% (2.3-5.7%) of compounds in preclinical, Phase I, II, III and IV clinical trials, respectively. Utilising a human-based in vitro screening assay to predict cataractogenic potential in human could allow better selection of novel compounds at early-stage drug development. This could significantly reduce costs and ultimately increase the probability of a drug obtaining FDA approval for a clinical application.

Assessing the drivers of sexual behavior among youth and its social determinants in Nepal.
PLoS One
January 2025
Health Research and Social Development Forum (HERD) International, Lalitpur, Nepal.
Introduction: Sexual behavior among youth is a public health concern, particularly in contexts where cultural norms, socio-economic factors, and access to comprehensive sexual education play pivotal roles. This paper aims to examine the determinants of sexual behavior among Nepali youths.
Methods: This study analyzed data from 7,122 individuals aged 15-24 years from the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2022, focusing on a nationally representative sample.
Role of Social Media for Medical Oncologists and Medical Oncology Fellows (SMARTY): An Italian Cross-Sectional Study.
JCO Glob Oncol
January 2025
Division of Medical Senology, European Institute of Oncology IRCCS, Milan, Italy.
Purpose: The use of social media is transforming physician-patient communication, mainly in the field of medical oncology. The pattern of social media use by medical oncologists is poorly studied. Therefore, we developed a survey to understand the preferences, experiences, opinions, and expectations of Italian medical oncologists and oncology fellows regarding the use of social media in cancer medicine to identify the different profiles of social media users.

Darmstadt University of Technology: Technische Universitat Darmstadt, Clemens-Schöpf-Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, Alarich-Weiss-Strasse 4, 64287, Darmstadt, GERMANY.
Macrocycles are increasingly considered as promising modalities to target challenging intracellular proteins. However, strategies for transitioning from active linear starting points to improved macrocycles are still underdeveloped. Here we explored the derivatization of linkers as an approach for macrocycle optimization.

J Clin Neurophysiol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Washington University in St Louis, St. Louis, MO.
Purpose: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring is increasingly used in the management of neonates with seizures. There remains debate on what clinically relevant information can be gained from cEEG in neonates with suspected seizures, at high risk for seizures, or with definite seizures, as well as the use of cEEG for prognosis in a variety of conditions. In this guideline, we address these questions using American Clinical Neurophysiology Society structured methodology for clinical guideline development.

China.
The challenge of "false positive" signals significantly complicates tumor localization and surgical resection, which are pivotal for successful tumor surgeries. Therefore, the development of a method for preoperative tumor localization and intraoperative margin determination holds considerable promise for improving surgical outcomes. In this study, a zero-crosstalk ratiometric tumor-targeting near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe was developed for precise cancer diagnosis and intraoperative navigation via NIR fluorescence imaging.
