Investigating the nutritional status, outcomes and needs of adolescents and young adults (AYA) following a cancer diagnosis: protocol for a mixed-methods study.

Background: Cancer treatment for adolescents and young adults (AYA) can be highly challenging and interferes with optimal nutrition, which is vital for healthy development, physical growth, and well-being. Cancer malnutrition and associated negative outcomes are well-studied in adult and paediatric populations, but the specific nutrition complications and requirements for AYA with cancer are poorly understood. This study aims to explore and describe the nutritional status, needs and outcomes of AYA after a diagnosis of cancer.

Foodservice interventions and their influence on nutritional outcomes and satisfaction of adult oncology patients-a conceptual replication.

Background: Foodservices are vital components of care for oncology patients across all settings. This conceptual replication aimed to explore the influence of foodservice interventions across a range of nutritional outcomes and the satisfaction of hospitalised and ambulatory adult oncology patients.

Methods: The review protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023447351).

Insights and caveats from mining local and global temporal motifs in cryptocurrency transaction networks.

Distributed ledger technologies have opened up a wealth of fine-grained transaction data from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This allows research into problems like anomaly detection, anti-money laundering, pattern mining and activity clustering (where data from traditional currencies is rarely available). The formalism of temporal networks offers a natural way of representing this data and offers access to a wealth of metrics and models.

A Mouse Model to Study the Pathogenesis of γ-herpesviral Infections in Germinal Center B Cells.

CD30-positive germinal center (GC)-derived B cell lymphomas are frequently linked to Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection. However, a suitable animal model for the investigation of the interplay between γ-herpesvirus and host cells in B cell pathogenesis is currently lacking. Here, we present a novel in vivo model enabling the analysis of genetically modified viruses in combination with genetically modified GC B cells.
