Cochrane Database Syst Rev

October 2021

Department of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care, Emergency and Pain Medicine, University Hospital Wuerzburg, Wuerzburg, Germany.

Background: The effect of antibiotics with potential antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties are being investigated in clinical trials as treatment for COVID-19. The use of antibiotics follows the intention-to-treat the viral disease and not primarily to treat bacterial co-infections of individuals with COVID-19. A thorough understanding of the current evidence regarding effectiveness and safety of antibiotics as anti-viral treatments for COVID-19 based on randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is required.

Introduction: KRAS mutations, the most frequent gain-of-function alterations in NSCLC, are currently emerging as potential predictive therapeutic targets. The role of KRAS-G12C (Kr_G12C) is of special interest after the recent discovery and preclinical analyses of two different Kr_G12C covalent inhibitors (AMG-510, MRTX849).

Methods: KRAS mutations were evaluated in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections by a microfluidic-based multiplex polymerase chain reaction platform as a component of the previously published European Thoracic Oncology Platform Lungscape 003 Multiplex Mutation study, of clinically annotated, resected, stage I to III NSCLC.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of obesity-related genes in influencing feeding behavior and their potential link to eating disorders (ED) and psychological traits among participants.
  • Researchers screened 425 individuals, including eating disorder patients and obese subjects, using genetic testing and psychometric evaluations to gather data on gene variants and mental health scores.
  • Results showed a specific gene variant associated with an increased risk of bulimia nervosa and a notable difference in genetic profiles between controls and eating disorder patients, suggesting genetic factors may play a role in the risk of developing EDs.
