Article Abstract
Advances in technologies for assessing genomic variation and an increasing understanding of the effects of genomic variants on health and disease are driving the transition of genomics from the research laboratory into clinical care. Genomic medicine, or the use of an individual's genomic information as part of their clinical care, is increasingly gaining acceptance in routine practice, including in assessing disease risk in individuals and their families, diagnosing rare and undiagnosed diseases, and improving drug safety and efficacy. We describe the major types and measurement tools of genomic variation that are currently of clinical importance, review approaches to interpreting genomic sequence variants, identify publicly available tools and resources for genomic test interpretation, and discuss several key barriers in using genomic information in routine clinical practice.

Toward Health Equity: A Workshop Report on the State of the Science of Obesity Interventions for Adults.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
September 2025
Division of Hematology, Oncology, and Palliative Care, School of Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Objective: From October 18-20, 2022, the National Institutes of Health held a workshop to examine the state of the science concerning obesity interventions in adults to promote health equity. The workshop had three objectives: (1) Convene experts from key institutions and the community to identify gaps in knowledge and opportunities to address obesity, (2) generate recommendations for obesity prevention and treatment to achieve health equity, and (3) identify challenges and needs to address obesity prevalence and disparities, and develop a diverse workforce.
Methods: A three-day virtual convening.
Efficacy of Tenecteplase in Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke Within 24 Hours of Symptom Onset: The ETERNAL-LVO Randomized Controlled Trial.
Stroke
September 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia. (V.Y., B.C.V.C., L.C., L.O., M.W.P.).
Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.

Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University.
Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a well-established treatment for patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The outcome after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been investigated in several studies and national registries. However, the treatment has not been compared to non-surgical treatment.

Psychiatry, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg.
People with severe mental illness die 10-20 years earlier than the general population, mostly from preventable physical diseases. Fragmented care, under-screening and undertreatment of cardiovascular, respiratory, infectious and cancer conditions widen this gap. Embedding physical screening, proactive treatment, smoking cessation, cancer checks and multidisciplinary, person-centred care into psychiatric services could close this mortality divide.
