Article Abstract

Recovery narratives are personal stories of health problems and recovery. A systematic review proposed a conceptual framework characterising alcohol misuse recovery narratives, consisting of eight principal dimensions, each with types and subtypes. The current study aims to apply and extend this preliminary conceptual framework. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect alcohol misuse recovery narratives from adult participants. A two-stage inductive and deductive thematic analysis approach was used to assess the relevance of the dimensions and types included in the preliminary conceptual framework and identify new components. The sample consisted of 11 participants from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds who had previously displayed varying degrees of alcohol misuse. All conceptual framework dimensions (genre, identity, recovery setting, drinking trajectories, drinking behaviours and traits, stages, spirituality and religion, and recovery experience) were present in the collected narratives. Three dimensions were extended by adding types and subtypes. Whilst the existing conceptual framework fitted the collected narratives, a new dimension describing the was required to fully characterise narratives. Types included in the dimension were and . The extended framework could guide the production of resources enabling clinicians to engage with narratives shared by their clients.

Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) pose significant challenges in healthcare systems globally, contributing to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. As healthcare organizations strive to improve patient safety and quality of care, Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents considerable promise in the prevention, detection, and management of CLABSI. This paper proposes a conceptual framework that integrates AI within healthcare systems, aligning technological innovations with human workflows, system design, and risk management strategies.

The tree-based pipeline optimization tool (TPOT) is one of the earliest automated machine learning (ML) frameworks developed for optimizing ML pipelines, with an emphasis on addressing the complexities of biomedical research. TPOT uses genetic programming to explore a diverse space of pipeline structures and hyperparameter configurations in search of optimal pipelines. Here, we provide a comparative overview of the conceptual similarities and implementation differences between the previous and latest versions of TPOT, focusing on two key aspects: (1) the representation of ML pipelines and (2) the underlying algorithm driving pipeline optimization.

Operationalising Multisector partnerships: A Theory of Action and Reflection tool for zoonotic influenzas.

Health Policy Plan

September 2025

Regional Emergency Director, WHO Health Emergencies Department, WHO South-East Asian Regional Office, New Delhi, India.

Zoonotic influenzas are major, ongoing public health policy challenge, not the least because of the importance of functional multisector partnerships (MSPs) for their prevention and control. However, despite years of investment in developing them, many countries have found multisectoral approaches, such as One Health, difficult to operationalise at national and sub national levels. One explanation for the lack of uptake is the limited nature of guidance on the design and adaptation of MSPs that consider local institutional dynamics.

Microbial influence on cancer development and therapeutic response is a growing area of cancer research. Although it is known that microorganisms can colonize certain tissues and contribute to tumour initiation, the use of deep sequencing technologies and computational pipelines has led to reports of multi-kingdom microbial communities in a growing list of cancer types. This has prompted discussions on the role and scope of microbial presence in cancer, while raising the possibility of microbiome-based diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tools.
