Background: Remote services (in which the patient and staff member are not physically colocated) and digital services (in which a patient encounter is digitally mediated in some way) were introduced extensively when the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. We undertook a longitudinal qualitative study of the introduction, embedding, evolution and abandonment of remote and digital innovations in United Kingdom general practice. This synoptic paper summarises study design, methods, key findings, outputs and impacts to date.

While studies have examined associations between air pollution and subjective long COVID outcomes such as fatigue and symptoms, no studies have focused on objective lung health measures. This study aimed to assess the impact of air pollution, examined through different exposure methods (exposures assigned via geospatial model, versus residential and personal measurements) on pulmonary function and radiological abnormalities in long COVID patients. We recruited 95 patients who attended a hospital outpatient clinic 3-6 months post-infection, during which pulmonary function was assessed via spirometry (FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FVC ratio) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), along with a chest CT.

Subcutaneous (SC) injection is the primary alternative to oral administration for therapeutic proteins and peptides. However, bioavailability and absorption rate are often variable and difficult to predict. Therefore, there is a need for new biorelevant and predictive SC in vitro methods.

Background: Micronutrient deficiencies are common in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD), potentially contributing to adverse clinical outcomes. Hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) integrates convection, diffusion, and adsorption, potentially preserving essential nutrients better than traditional online hemodiafiltration (HDF). This study aimed to compare the acute effects of HFR and HDF on serum micronutrient concentrations in MHD patients.

Overcoming standard-of-care resistance in glioblastoma using nanoparticle-based drug delivery targeting the autophagy pathway.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal primary brain tumor in adults, characterized by rapid growth, diffuse infiltration, and a dismal prognosis. Despite aggressive treatment involving maximal surgical resection followed by radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, therapeutic outcomes remain poor due to intrinsic and acquired resistance. Autophagy, a catabolic process that degrades damaged cellular components, plays a critical role in this resistance by enabling tumor cells to survive under metabolic, hypoxic, and therapeutic stress conditions.
