and are anaerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive rods, respectively, that are occasionally members of the human oral flora. Bacteraemia has rarely been reported. We present the first case of mixed - bacteraemia in an individual with diabetes and human immunodeficiency virus infection. Both bacteria were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS.

Nanoparticles of highly porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are some of the most exciting nanomaterials under development, with potential applications that range from biomedicine and catalysis to adsorption technologies. However, our synthetic methodologies to functionalize and manipulate MOF nanoparticles (NPs) are less well developed than they might be. Here we create MOF NPs derivatized with hydrazone units on their exterior, enabling chemospecific reversible dynamic covalent modification of structures on the external surface.

Background: The medicines retail sector (MRS) enables access to life-saving health commodities. Despite efforts to harness this market for public health goals, in low- and middle-income countries it is rarely incorporated into pandemic preparedness. This paper analyses the role of the MRS in the response to COVID-19 in Uganda, the extent to which it was incorporated into national planning and in the continuity of essential services.

Background: A discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) is the most common meniscus variant and is commonly treated with arthroscopic saucerization. There are mixed data regarding long-term results after surgery, especially in terms of radiological parameters.

Purpose/hypothesis: The aim was to evaluate the functional and radiological results of patients who underwent arthroscopic saucerization for a symptomatic DLM.

Background: Delirium frequently occurs in palliative care settings, yet its screening, identification, and management remain suboptimal in clinical practice. This review aims to elucidate the barriers preventing healthcare professionals from effectively screening, recognizing, and managing delirium in adult patients receiving specialist palliative care, with the goal of developing strategies to enhance clinical practice.

Methods: A mixed-methods systematic review was conducted (PROSPERO: CRD42024563666).

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) now play a significant role in randomized control trials (RCTs) providing the basis for efficacy or safety endpoints. Most PROM data is quantitative and is summarized at the group level. Whilst PROM data is informative in providing the aggregated patient perspective on disease and interventions, it provides little information about the patients' individual experiences.
