The manufacture of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) is critically impacted by the quality of the raw materials (RMs) used. Following the need expressed by stakeholders to establish a certification scheme for biological RMs used in the manufacture of ATMPs, the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) Cell Therapy Products Working Party (CTP WP) conducted an informal investigation with the aim of issuing a technical opinion on the feasibility of such a certification scheme. Seven RM Drug Master Files were reviewed for compliance of the RM with Ph. Eur. general chapter by members of the CTP WP who were representatives of competent authorities and experienced in the evaluation of RMs for ATMPs. This article presents the results of these case studies, including the potential benefits and concerns identified by the experts. It was concluded that it would be technically feasible, albeit challenging, to set up a certification system for RMs of biological origin against chapter . Although the establishment of such a scheme is currently perceived by some CTP WP members as premature, it could potentially be beneficial for all stakeholders (RM manufacturers, ATMP manufacturers and assessors).

Introduction: Few data on the impact of specific interventions against Emergency Rooms 'or Hospitals overcrowding are available in France.

Methods: In the present report, we retrospectively investigated the impact of the implementation of a short-stay observation unit associated with the admitter-rounder model, especially onto the other in-patient internal medicine units in a French University Hospital.

Results: During the first 100 days, 242 patients were admitted into the short-stay observation unit.

Tenomodulin (TNMD) is related to chondromodulin-1, a cartilage-derived growth regulator. It is specifically expressed in hypovascular connective tissues, including tendons and ligaments. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) correlate with angiogenesis and neurogenesis, respectively, during development.

Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have demonstrated promising effects in lowering cardiovascular incidents among patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, their influence on early platelet reactivity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) remains unclear.

Objectives: This research sought to investigate the effects of entirely human anti-PCSK9 antibodies on platelet function as measured by thrombelastography and 12-month postoperative results in patients receiving PPCI and treated with ticagrelor-based dual antiplatelet therapy.

Critiques from queer theory have suggested that the legalization of same-sex marriage (SSM) predominantly benefits White, middle-class segments of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) community. This study investigates the impact of the legalization of SSM on mental health among Black LGB individuals, focusing on those with lower incomes in the UK. Using a nationally representative panel sample and employing a quasi-experimental methodology, we analyzed changes in psychological distress and life dissatisfaction following the legalization of SSM.

Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) untargeted experiments require complex bioinformatic strategies to extract information from the experimental data. Here we discuss the "data preprocessing," the set of procedures performed on the raw data to produce a data matrix which will be the starting point for the subsequent statistical analysis. Data preprocessing is a crucial step on the path to knowledge extraction, which should be carefully controlled and optimized in order to maximize the output of any untargeted metabolomics investigation.
