The academic research environment is characterized by self-developed, innovative, customized solutions, which are often free to use for third parties with open-source code and open licenses. On the other hand, they are maintained only to a very limited extent after the end of project funding. The ToolPool Gesundheitsforschung addresses the problem of finding ready to use solutions by building a registry of proven and supported tools, services, concepts and consulting offers. The goal is to provide an up-to-date selection of "relevant" solutions for a given domain that are immediately usable and that are actually used by third parties, rather than aiming at a complete list of all solutions which belong to that domain. Proof of relevance and usage must be provided, for example, by concrete application scenarios, experience reports by uninvolved third parties, references in publications or workshops held. Quality assurance is carried out for new entries by an agreed list of admission criteria, for existing entries at least once a year by a special task force. Currently, 79 solutions are represented, this number is to be significantly expanded by involving of new editors from current national funding initiatives in Germany.

Behind the scenes of EQA-characteristics, capabilities, benefits and assets of external quality assessment (EQA).

Canadian Microbiology Proficiency Testing Program (CMPT), Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
The main stakeholders in external quality assessment (EQA) programs are the participants, in whose interests these challenges are ultimately organised. EQA schemes in the medical field contribute to improving the quality of patient care by evaluating the analytical and diagnostic quality of laboratory and point-of-care tests (POCT) by independent third parties and, if necessary, pointing out erroneous measurement results and analytical or diagnostic improvement potential. Other benefits include the option of using EQA samples for other important laboratory procedures, such as the verification or validation of diagnostic medical devices (IVD-MDs), a contribution to the estimation of measurement uncertainty, a means of training and educating laboratory staff through educational EQA programmes or samples, or even for independent and documented monitoring of staff competence, such as on samples with unusual or even exceptional characteristics.

Electronic address:
Rationale And Objectives: Accurate preoperative pathological staging of gastric cancer is crucial for optimal treatment selection and improved patient outcomes. Traditional imaging methods such as CT and endoscopy have limitations in staging accuracy.
Methods: This retrospective study included 691 gastric cancer patients treated from March 2017 to March 2024.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of pembrolizumab with chemotherapy for metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer in Taiwan.
J Food Drug Anal

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, Taipei Medical University, Taipei, Taiwan.
This study was aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of pembrolizumab with chemotherapy (pembrolizumab combination therapy) and compare it with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy (chemotherapy alone) as a first-line treatment for metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC from the perspective of Taiwan's third-party-payer public health-care system. We used a partitioned survival model with an estimated time horizon of 10 years. The partitioned survival model uses Kaplan-Meier estimates of progression-free and overall survival from the KEYNOTE-189 clinical trial.

What do medical students think about conscientious objection? A cross-sectional study from Turkey.
BMC Med Educ

Honors College, University of Houston, Houston, USA.
Background: Physicians' refusal to perform medical procedures that they deem contrary to their conscience may threaten basic human rights and public health. This study aims to investigate the thoughts and attitudes of future physicians on conscientious objection (CO) and thus contribute to the discussions from a country more heavily influenced by Eastern values.
Methods: A cross-sectional multi-center study was conducted among medical students country-wide, where 2,188 medical students participated via an online survey.
