Article Abstract
T cells expressing either alpha-beta or gamma-delta T cell receptors (TCR) are critical sentinels of the adaptive immune system, with receptor diversity being essential for protective immunity against a broad array of pathogens and agents. Programs available to profile TCR clonotypic signatures can be limiting for users with no coding expertise. Current analytical pipelines can be inefficient due to manual processing steps, open to data entry errors and have multiple analytical tools with unique inputs that require coding expertise. Here we present a bespoke webtool designed for users irrespective of coding expertise, coined 'TCR_Explore', enabling analysis either derived Sanger sequencing or next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. Further, TCR_Explore incorporates automated quality control steps for Sanger sequencing. The creation of flexible and publication ready figures are enabled for different sequencing platforms following universal conversion to the TCR_Explore file format. TCR_Explore will enhance a user's capacity to undertake in-depth TCR repertoire analysis of both new and pre-existing datasets for identification of T cell clonotypes associated with health and disease. The web application is located at https://tcr-explore.erc.monash.edu for users to interactively explore TCR repertoire datasets.

Department of Ultrasound Imaging, Xiamen Medical College Affiliated Second Hospital, Xiamen, China.
Accurate identification of fetal torso ultrasound planes is essential in pre-natal examinations, as it plays a critical role in the early detection of severe fetal malformations and this process is heavily dependent on the clinical expertise of health care providers. However, the limited number of medical professionals skilled at identification and the complexity of fetal plane screening underscore the need for efficient diagnostic support tools. Clinicians often encounter challenges such as image artifacts and the intricate nature of fetal planes, which require adjustments to image gain and contrast to obtain clearer diagnostic information.

Aim: To explore how nurses were represented in five Dutch newspapers between 2019 and 2022, with a focus on their visibility in policy and decision-making.
Background: The media significantly shape public understanding of healthcare. Despite their key role, nurses are often underrepresented in media, especially in policy-related coverage.
Understanding lived experiences with KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.
Epilepsy Behav
September 2025
Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc., New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: KCNQ2 developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (KCNQ2-DEE) is a rare pediatric disorder characterized by seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments. Parent- and healthcare professional (HCP)-reported outcomes regarding the impacts of seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments may guide the design of clinically meaningful KCNQ2-DEE outcome measures.
Methods: Parents of children with KCNQ2-DEE (N = 53) and HCPs with KCNQ2-DEE expertise (N = 2) participated in qualitative interviews exploring signs, symptoms, and impacts of KCNQ2-DEE, and how varying KCNQ2-DEE phenotypes affect child development.

Institute For Systems Biology, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics focuses on identifying and quantifying peptides and proteins in biological samples. Processing of MS-derived raw data, including deconvolution, alignment, and peptide-protein prediction, has been achieved through various software platforms. However, the downstream analysis, including quality control, visualizations, and interpretation of proteomics results, remains cumbersome due to the lack of integrated tools to facilitate the analyses.

Background: There is no established best practice for optimal medical consultant care to address the medical needs of psychiatric inpatients at a behavioral health center (BHC).
Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a hybrid on-site and virtual model of internal medicine consultative care in a BHC.
Setting And Participants: To provide continuous medical consultation availability for 233 patients in a BHC, 9 internal medicine hospitalists from the affiliated academic medical center joined 1 full-time internist and 21 medical nurse practitioners, supporting 34 psychiatry providers.
