Participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project (100kGP) could consent to receive additional finding (AF) results, individual variants relating to genes associated with susceptibility to cancer and familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). In the study reported here, qualitative interviews were used to explore the experiences of National Health Service (NHS) professionals from across England who were tasked with returning over 80,000 "no AF" results and 700 positive AF results to 100kGP participants. Interviews were conducted with 45 professionals from a range of backgrounds, including Genetic Counsellors, Clinical Geneticists, FH Clinical Nurse Specialists and Clinical Scientists.

An ideal cell surface target has ubiquitously high cancer expression, absence from healthy tissues, and an essential role cancer initiation and/or maintenance. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Hamilton et al. combine proteomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and dependency databases to identify DLK1, a novel immunotherapeutic target for neuroblastoma.

Purpose: The STAT trial is a multicenter randomized controlled trial in 12 centers worldwide aiming to determine the most effective operation for neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) requiring intestinal resection: stoma formation (ST) or primary anastomosis (PA).
Methods: Infants having a primary laparotomy for NEC were randomized intraoperatively to PA or ST if the operating surgeon thought that both were viable treatment options for that patient. The primary outcome (duration of parenteral nutrition [PN]) was evaluated by Cox regression.

: Low quality diets are a risk factor for non-communicable diseases; therefore, improving diet quality is a public health and policy priority in the UK and elsewhere. Reformulating food/beverage products to make them healthier may be an effective approach. Evidence suggests that fiscal interventions, notably taxes/levies on soft drinks, can lead to reformulation but the evidence for voluntary or mandated non-fiscal interventions is less clear.

A growing number of patients with Hirschsprung disease are reaching adulthood, of whom a significant minority will require ongoing input from healthcare providers. In order to ensure patients receive the best care possible, it is essential to transition patients appropriately to adult services. This article describes the unmet need and some of the obstacles to this process and explores potential solutions, drawing on model examples for transitional care.

Introduction: Access to hot food takeaways, particularly near schools, is of growing concern for policymakers seeking to reduce childhood obesity globally. In England, United Kingdom (UK), local government jurisdictions are implementing planning policies to reduce access by restricting or denying planning permission for new takeaway outlets near schools. We used a qualitative approach to explore local government officers' perspectives on the barriers to and facilitators of the adoption, implementation, and perceived effectiveness of these policies.

Background: Malformations of cortical development (MCDs) in children with focal epilepsy pose significant diagnostic challenges, and a precise radiological diagnosis is crucial for surgical planning. New MRI sequences and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are considered very promising in this regard, yet studies evaluating the relative contribution of each diagnostic technique are lacking.
Methods: The study was conducted using a dedicated "EPI-MCD MR protocol" with a 3 Tesla MRI scanner in patients with focal epilepsy and previously negative MRI.
