Background: Some people with mental health problems arrive to the Emergency Department (ED) under involuntary assessment orders (IAOs) and can have complex medical and socioeconomic factors, which may impact on the delivery of care in the ED. Therefore, this scoping review aimed to identify, evaluate and summarise the current literature regarding the demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics and outcomes for people brought to the ED under IAOs.
Method: A scoping review was undertaken guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) Guidelines and the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
Results: In total 21 articles were included in this review. People under IAOs most commonly present to EDs with suicidal ideation/intent, with interagency involvement noted when responding to these people in the pre-hospital setting. Most people arriving to ED under IAOs were reported to experience length of staylonger than four hours.
Conclusion: This review highlights the limited information pertaining to people brought to EDs under an IAO. High levels of mental health problems and extended length of stay for people under IAOs suggests the need for interagency collaboration to inform the development and implementation of models of care that incorporates social determinants of health and are tailored to this complex population.

Women-identifying and women+ gender faculty (hereto described as women+ faculty) face numerous barriers to career advancement in medicine and biomedical sciences. Despite accumulating evidence that career development programming for women+ is critical for professional advancement and well-being, accessibility of these programs is generally limited to small cohorts, only offered to specific disciplines, or otherwise entirely unavailable. Opportunities for additional, targeted career development activities are imperative in developing and retaining women+ faculty.

The abnormal growth of irregular new blood vessels into the subretinal or intraretinal space is known as macular neovascularization (MNV). People over 50 are often affected by this disorder, which is typically brought on by age-related macular degeneration. In addition, MNV can be found in people under 50 years of age, who may present primary ophthalmic diseases such as pathological myopia, angioid streaks, traumatic choroidal rupture, or suspected ocular histoplasmosis syndrome.

Background: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced endothelial cell dysfunction plays a crucial role in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Although miR-125b-5p is known to be involved in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders, its function in ox-LDL-induced endothelial injury is still not well understood.
Methods: An in vitro AS cell model was established by exposing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to 100 µg/mL ox-LDL for 24 h.

Background: PROTECT ( Platform Randomised evaluation of clinical Outcomes using novel TEChnologies to optimise antimicrobial Therapy) has brought together a team of researchers to design a platform trial to rapidly evaluate and adopt into care multiple diagnostic technologies, bringing immediate benefit to patients. Rapid diagnostic tests will be used to identify patients at risk of deterioration from severe infection, before they become critically unwell. The platform will assess their comparative clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness relative to current standard of care.

Background: Childhood autoimmune disorders involve the immune system attacking its own tissues, leading to varied symptoms, while autoinflammatory disorders result from innate immune system dysregulation, both requiring extensive diagnosis and multidisciplinary management due to their complexity.
Case Presentation: We present a unique clinical case of a teenager with a combination of autoimmune and autoinflammatory disorders. The initial manifestation of hip pain, coupled with progressive symptoms over several years and findings in multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, culminated in the diagnosis of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO).
