After years of regulatory activity organized according to the Academy's vow in 1966, the commission for foods for special dietary uses has to change the way of working. Now being more used as an authorization committee, the commission needs to be supported by a high level scientific consensus, able to be opposed to other foreign scientific opinion. The Academy of Medicine could be the place for establishing this consensus.

Long-read sequencing has emerged as a transformative technology in recent years, offering significant potential for the molecular diagnosis of unresolved genetic disorders. Despite its promise, the comprehensive detection and clinical annotation of genomic variants remain intricate and technically demanding. We present SUMMER, an integrated and structured workflow specifically designed to process raw Nanopore sequencing reads.

In forensic neuropathology, the β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP) immunostain is used to diagnose axonal injury (AI). The two most common aetiologies are traumatic (TAI) and ischaemic (vascular; VAI). We aimed to identify background characteristics and neuropathology findings that are suggestive of TAI, VAI, or no AI in neuropathologically examined medico-legal autopsy cases.

Justifying a proposed government regulation intended to reduce firearm violence requires a conceptually sound estimate of the monetized value of that impact and how that value is distributed across the population. Some previous estimates do not serve as a valid basis for policy evaluation or are out of date. A nationally representative survey was conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research in August 2022 (n = 660).

Determining the harvest location of timber is crucial to enforcing international regulations designed to protect natural resources and to tackle illegal logging and associated trade in forest products. Stable isotope ratio analysis (SIRA) can be used to verify claims of timber harvest location by matching levels of naturally occurring stable isotopes within wood tissue to location-specific ratios predicted from reference data ("isoscapes"). However, overly simple models for predicting isoscapes have so far limited the confidence in derived predictions of timber provenance.
