Article Abstract

Precision-cut lung slices (PCLSs) offer significant advantages over both in vivo animal models and in vitro cell models, making them invaluable tools in respiratory research. Here, we present a protocol for generating fibrotic mouse PCLSs (mPCLSs), which offer the same benefits as human PCLSs but bypass issues of human tissue availability and related ethical concerns while also enhancing experimental homogeneity and reproducibility. This protocol details the steps for bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis, PCLS generation, visualization, and downstream analysis. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Barbayianni et al..

Background: Post-viral syndromes, including long- and post-COVID, often lead to persistent symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnoea, affecting patients' daily lives and ability to work. The COVI-Care M-V trial examines whether interprofessional, patient-centred teleconsultations, initiated by general practitioners in cooperation with specialists, can help reduce symptom burden and improve care for patients.

Methods: To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention under routine care conditions, a cluster-randomised controlled trial is being conducted.

Whole genome sequence analysis of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol across 246 K individuals.

Background: Rare genetic variation provided by whole genome sequence datasets has been relatively less explored for its contributions to human traits. Meta-analysis of sequencing data offers advantages by integrating larger sample sizes from diverse cohorts, thereby increasing the likelihood of discovering novel insights into complex traits. Furthermore, emerging methods in genome-wide rare variant association testing further improve power and interpretability.

Background: While it is well established that trying to conceive while experiencing infertility and undergoing fertility treatment is associated with anxiety, little is known about the mental health toll of trying to conceive without fertility treatment. Minimal contact with the healthcare system while trying to conceive without treatment contributes to low rates of detection and support for this population.

Objective: This research aims to provide formative insights into the prevalence of mental health distress and desire for emotional support among people who are trying to conceive without treatment, and how this compares to people who are considering or using fertility treatment.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission is shaped by a complex interplay of health system factors, many of which remain underexplored or insufficiently addressed. This study investigates concrete systemic transmission drivers in hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) for older adults in Merseyside, UK.

Methods: Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 37 purposively selected participants across hospitals, LTCFs, community settings, and ambulance services.

Primary bladder diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A rare case report.

Int J Surg Case Rep

September 2025

Department of Urology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Kunming Medical University, Yunnan Province, China. Electronic address:

Introduction: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), originates primarily from lymph nodes, with a small proportion arising extranodally in sites such as the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Given the general absence of lymphoid tissue in the bladder, primary bladder DLBCL is exceptionally rare.

Case Presentation: This case report describes an 83-year-old male patient with a bladder mass, initially suspected as cystitis glandularis, ultimately diagnosed via pathological examination as DLBCL.
