Introduction: People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and other forms of progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) have a high symptom burden and a poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite efforts to offer specialised treatment, clinical care for these patients remains suboptimal and several nonmedical needs remain unaddressed. Developing a core outcome set (COS) can help to identify a minimum set of agreed-upon outcomes that should be measured and acted-upon in clinical care.

Renewed interest in the clinical use of psychedelic drugs acknowledges their therapeutic effectiveness. It has also provided a changing frame of reference for older psychedelic drug study data, especially regarding concentrations of N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) reported in rodent brains and recent discoveries in DMT receptor interactions in rat brain neurons and select brain areas. The mode of action of DMT in its newly defined role as a neuroplastogen, its effectiveness in treating neuropsychiatric disorders, and its binding to intracellular sigma-1 and 5HT2a receptors may define these possible roles.

Background: Recognition and response to clinical deterioration of hospitalised patients is a worldwide health priority area. In response to this concern, international bodies have implemented early warning systems to help clinicians keep people safe and prevent patient deterioration. Registered nurses hold a significant role in managing care provision and utilise early warning system tools to support their clinical judgement when making decisions about patient care.

Human tumors are diverse in their natural history and response to treatment, which in part results from genetic and transcriptomic heterogeneity. In clinical practice, single-site needle biopsies are used to sample this diversity, but cancer biomarkers may be confounded by spatiogenomic heterogeneity within individual tumors. Here we investigate clonally expressed genes as a solution to the sampling bias problem by analyzing multiregion whole-exome and RNA sequencing data for 450 tumor regions from 184 patients with lung adenocarcinoma in the TRACERx study.

Introduction: 22q11 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) results from a microdeletion on chromosome 22 and is the most common microdeletion disorder in humans, affecting 1 in 2148 live births. Clinical manifestations vary widely among individuals and across different life stages. Effective management requires the involvement of a specialized multidisciplinary team.
