Preclinical stroke research faces a critical translational gap, with animal studies failing to reliably predict clinical efficacy. To address this, the field is moving toward rigorous, multicenter preclinical randomized controlled trials (mpRCTs) that mimic phase 3 clinical trials in several key components. This collective statement, derived from experts involved in mpRCTs, outlines considerations for designing and executing such trials.

Objective: This scoping review explores existing clinical guidelines on administration of benzathine benzylpenicillin (Bicillin L-A, Pfizer Australia) in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. The objective is to understand existing delivery guidance to address variation in care and cultural safety considerations, to support messaging during periods of stockout and to inform planning for new administration techniques.

Data Sources: Semi-structured Google search to identify publicly available clinical resources for each jurisdiction of Australia and for New Zealand.

Eplet mismatch analysis in kidney transplantation: from concept to clinical practice.

Clin Transplant Res

September 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.

Eplet mismatch analysis offers a refined approach to assessing donor-recipient compatibility in kidney transplantation, surpassing conventional antigen-level human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching in predicting immunologic outcomes. By identifying polymorphic amino acid residues on HLA molecules recognized by B cell receptors, this method quantifies immunologic risk. Clinical studies demonstrate that high eplet mismatch loads, particularly at HLA-DQ, are strongly associated with donor-specific antibody development, antibody-mediated rejection, and reduced graft survival.
