Article Abstract
Cell targeting peptides (CTP) are small peptides which have high affinity and specificity to a cell or tissue targets. They are typically identified by using phage display and chemical synthetic peptide library methods. CTPs have attracted considerable attention as a new class of ligands to delivery specifically therapeutic and diagnostic agents, because of the fact they have several advantages including easy synthesis, smaller physical sizes, lower immunogenicity and cytotoxicity and their simple and better conjugation to nano-carriers and therapeutic or diagnostic agents compared to conventional antibodies. In this systematic review, we will focus on the basic concepts concerning the use of cell-targeting peptides (CTPs), following the approaches of selecting them from peptide libraries. We discuss several developed strategies for cell-specific delivery of different cargos by CTPs, which are designed for drug delivery and diagnostic applications.

Psychoacoustic assessment of misophonia.

Misophonia is a condition characterized by intense negative emotional reactions to trigger sounds and related stimuli. In this study, adult listeners (N = 15) with a self-reported history of misophonia symptoms and a control group without misophonia (N = 15) completed listening judgements of recorded misophonia trigger stimuli using a standard scale. Participants also completed an established questionnaire of misophonia symptoms, the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ).

JAMA Netw Open

Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.
Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use at the End of Life in Patients With Advanced Cancer.
JAMA Netw Open

Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.
Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.
Association between transitional care in acute care hospitals and ambulatory care sensitive condition-related readmission.
Age Ageing
August 2025
Department of Nursing Health Services Research, Graduate School of Health Care Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Little is known about how ambulatory care sensitive condition (ACSC)-related readmissions can be reduced in acute care settings.
Objective: This study examined the association between transitional care for hospitalised older patients with ACSC and ACSC-related readmissions.
Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study included patients aged 65 years and older admitted with ACSC as the primary diagnosis from 1 April 2022 to 31 January 2023, using linked data from the Diagnosis Procedure Combination and the medical functions of the hospital beds database.
Clinical-pathological patterns and prognosis of young women with breast cancer brain metastases: a single-center retrospective study.

Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer among women and the second leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. While the epidemiology of CNS metastases from BC has been well described, little is known about the treatment patterns and outcomes of young women < 40 years of age with BC that is metastatic to the CNS.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we identified patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the CNS who were treated at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada between 2008 and 2018.
