In this paper, experiences and learnings are shared from the 10-year application of incurred sample reanalysis (ISR) in support of the AstraZeneca small molecule portfolio. The conclusions from including ISR in every clinical bioanalysis study for a period of 5 years, generating ISR data from 550 studies, are shared. Our preclinical ISR approach is described and data generated using capillary microsampling demonstrate confidence in its routine application. The data demonstrate that ISR failures are very rare and the assessment can and should therefore be limited. Dialogue between the bioanalytical teams internally, as well as with the partner contract research organizations, is however critical for a successful bioanalytical method validation and to avoid any ISR failures.

Background/problems: Individuals with comorbid physical and mental health conditions face significant threats to their well-being while placing a substantial burden on healthcare systems through increased service costs. Nursing professionals encounter multiple challenges in delivering effective care to this population. These challenges include a lack of integrated care models, communication barriers among providers, the complexity of addressing dual health needs, insufficient training in comorbidity management, resource and time constraints, and pervasive stigma toward mental illness.

Background/context: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a significant US healthcare burden with millions of lumbar spine procedures annually. Diagnostic tests are essential to guide treatment but provocative discography (PD), the most common diagnostic procedure, is without robust evidence of its value. A non-invasive alternative using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) offers a potential solution.

Introduction: Liver cirrhosis, a complex and progressive disease, imposes a significant global health burden, characterized by irreversible liver tissue scarring and various life-threatening complications. Traditionally linked to factors like chronic alcohol consumption and viral hepatitis infections, the rising prevalence of obesity introduces a new dimension to its etiology. As obesity rates continue to climb worldwide, the confluence of liver cirrhosis and bariatric surgery has become an increasingly pertinent and clinically relevant topic of inquiry.
