A mutual relationship exists between immune activation and mechanisms of thrombus formation. In particular, elements of the innate immune response such as the complement system can modulate platelet activation and subsequently thrombus formation. Several components of the complement system including C3 or the membrane attack complex have been reported to be associated with platelets and become functionally active in the micromilieu of platelet activation. The exact mechanisms how this interplay is regulated and its consequences for tissue inflammation, damage or recovery remain to be defined. This review addresses the current state of knowledge on this topic and puts it into context with diseases featuring both thrombosis and complement activation.

Cell fate decisions, such as proliferation, differentiation, and death, are driven by complex molecular interactions and signaling cascades. While significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular determinants of these processes, historically, cell fate transitions were identified through light microscopy that focused on changes in cell morphology and function. Modern techniques have shifted towards probing molecular effectors to quantify these transitions, offering more precise quantification and mechanistic understanding.

Purpose: We aim to investigate the characteristics and evaluate the performance of synthetic mammograms (SMs) based on wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) compared with digital mammography (DM).
Approach: Fifty cases with both synthetic and digital mammograms were selected from the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial. They were categorized into five groups consisting of normal cases and recalled cases with false-positive and true-positive findings from DM and DBT only.
Racism in German healthcare: uncovering the construction and silencing of the "other".

CSE Caritas, Essen, Germany.
While the impact of racism on healthcare interactions has been researched extensively in many parts of the world, substantive studies on healthcare-related racism in Europe, and particularly in Germany, remain scarce. This paper builds on a study that applies Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) and aims to explore healthcare users' experiences of racism within German healthcare. Community members were trained as peer researchers and given support as they conducted a total of six focus group discussions that involved a total of 14 study participants: these participants were organized into two subsamples of seven participants each (subsample one: Black, African, Afro-diasporic healthcare users; subsample two: healthcare users perceived or self-describing as Muslim), and each subsample had three focus group discussions.

Veterans Health Administration, Washington, DC.
Background: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) adopted the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) framework in March 2020, an initiative that complements whole health core principles. The shift from disease-based treatment to what matters most to veterans helps them improve their health and well-being.
Observations: Whole health and AFHS focus on holistic patient-centered care that aims to enhance the overall health and well-being of patients.
Care coordination for people living with serious mental illness: understanding the caregiver's perspective.

Canadian Institute for Advancements in Mental Health, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: Family caregivers of people living with serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder, psychosis and schizophrenia, are continuously burdened with caregiving, following the complexities of navigating the mental health system for their loved ones. The aim of the study was to understand the perspectives of caregivers about care coordination for people living with serious mental illness, highlighting the current landscape and new directions across Canada.
Methods: In this co-designed participatory qualitative research, caregivers of people living with serious mental illness, and service providers were engaged and purposively sampled across Canada.
