Article Abstract
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorder mainly affecting female individuals. Trofinetide was recently approved as the first treatment for RTT, largely on the basis of results from the phase 3 LAVENDER trial, in which trofinetide showed improvements in core symptoms of RTT compared with placebo. However, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting were commonly reported side effects, and taste was also a reported issue. The objective of this article is to describe the perspectives of five caregivers of girls in trofinetide clinical trials as well as those of three nurse trial coordinators, with a focus on management of GI symptoms of trofinetide treatment.Audio Abstract available for this article. Audio Abstract: Jane Lane provides an overview and discusses key findings of the article titled "Managing Gastrointestinal Symptoms Resulting from Treatment with Trofinetide for Rett Syndrome: Caregiver and Nurse Perspectives."

Background: Training in endoscopy has traditionally been based upon an apprenticeship model, where novices develop their skills on real patients under the supervision of experienced endoscopists. In an effort to prioritise patient safety, simulation training has emerged as a means to allow novices to practice in a risk-free environment. This is the second update of the review, which was first published in 2012 and updated in 2018.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Emerging evidence suggests that microplastics and nanoplastics (NPs) pose significant health risks. When inhaled, these tiny particles can accumulate in the lungs, triggering inflammation, oxidative stress, and other disruptions in pulmonary function.
