Background: People with intellectual disabilities are less likely to have access to palliative care, and the evidence shows that their deaths are often unanticipated, unplanned for, and poorly managed. Within the general population, people from minoritised ethnic groups are under-represented within palliative care services. End-of-life care planning with people with intellectual disabilities from minoritised ethnic groups may be a way to address these issues.

Introduction: Several cardiovascular outcome trials have been conducted to assess the cardiovascular safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) on cardiorenal outcomes in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D). However, the strict requirements of randomised controlled trials to avoid most confounding factors are at the expense of external validity. Using national real-world data, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of GLP-1RAs in association with metformin especially on cardiovascular events, hospitalisation for heart failure and all-cause death in comparison with other diabetes treatment schemes using dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors, sulfonylureas/glinides or insulin also associated with metformin.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting from external forces, is a leading cause of disability and death, often leading to cognitive deficits that affect attention, concentration, speech and language, learning and memory, reasoning, planning, and problem-solving. Given the diverse mechanisms underlying TBI symptoms, it is essential to characterize its neurophysiological and neuropsychological effects. To address this, we employed weighted coherence (WC) analysis in patients performing the Halstead-Reitan categorization task, alongside a control group of eight healthy individuals.
