Cost-Effectiveness and the Economics of Genomic Testing and Molecularly Matched Therapies.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of precision oncology can help guide value-driven care. Next-generation sequencing is increasingly cost-efficient over single gene testing because diagnostic algorithms require multiple individual gene tests to determine biomarker status. Matched targeted therapy is often not cost-effective due to the high cost associated with drug treatment. However, genomic profiling can promote cost-effective care by identifying patients who are unlikely to benefit from therapy. Additional applications of genomic profiling such as universal testing for hereditary cancer syndromes and germline testing in patients with cancer may represent cost-effective approaches compared with traditional history-based diagnostic methods.

Transverse Tibial Transport for Limb Salvage in Ischemic Lower Extremity Disease: Technique, Mechanisms, and Clinical Outcomes-A Systematic Review.

Transverse tibial transport (TTT) is a surgical technique derived from Ilizarov's distraction osteogenesis principles that stimulates angiogenesis and microcirculatory regeneration in the ischemic lower limb without directly manipulating macrovascular anatomy. By creating a proximal tibial cortical bone window and distracting it transversely using an external fixator, TTT triggers converging cascades of growth factor release, endothelial progenitor cell mobilization, and immunomodulation that translate into improved distal limb perfusion and wound healing. Combined TTT plus endovascular therapy improves amputation-free survival versus endovascular therapy alone. Prospective randomized trials and standardized international protocols are needed to consolidate TTT's role in multidisciplinary limb salvage pathways.

Neonatal outcomes following antenatal corticosteroid administration before planned caesarean birth at late preterm or early term (36-38 weeks' gestation): a retrospective cohort study.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the benefits and harms associated with antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) prior to planned caesarean birth at late preterm or early term. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: South Australia, Australia, 2005-2018. PATIENTS: Women with singleton pregnancies undergoing planned caesarean birth between 36+0 and 38+6 weeks' gestation. METHODS: We used routinely collected electronic maternity and neonatal data. Adjusted risk differences (aRD) with 95% CIs were calculated for neonatal and maternal outcomes. OUTCOME MEASURES: Neonatal outcomes included respiratory distress requiring oxygen, hypoglycaemia requiring glucose, neonatal unit (NNU) admission and prolonged NNU admission (≥48 hours). RESULTS: Among the cohort of 4049 women, the proportion receiving ACS was 54.8%, 48.4% and 5.6% at 36, 37 and 38 completed weeks' gestation, respectively. ACS administration was associated with a significant reduction in respiratory distress across all gestations, with the greatest reduction seen at 36 weeks' gestation (aRD -12.5%; 95% CI -21.4% to -3.6%). At 38 weeks' gestation, ACS administration was associated with an increased risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia (aRD 5.7%; 95% CI 1.1% to 10.2%), NNU admission (aRD 5.4%; 95% CI 0.1% to 10.7%) and prolonged NNU admission (aRD 4.6%; 95% CI 0.2% to 8.9%). CONCLUSIONS: ACS administration prior to late preterm and early term planned caesarean birth was associated with reduced risk of respiratory distress. The net benefit of ACS administration before planned caesarean birth remains unclear; however, there was evidence of potential neonatal harm when birth occurred after 37 weeks' gestation.

Machine learning-ready genomic biomarkers: ATF3 polymorphisms predict postoperative analgesic demand through AI-compatible phenotyping.

PURPOSE: To determine whether ATF3 polymorphisms can serve as genetic biomarkers for machine learning-based precision analgesia by establishing a genotype-phenotype association suitable for predictive modeling of postoperative opioid requirements. METHODS: In a prospective cohort of 167 adults undergoing abdominal surgery, ATF3 SNPs rs3122721 and rs3125293 were genotyped. A structured dataset architecture was developed to represent genetic profiles as input features for supervised learning models, enabling translational analysis of genotype‑dependent opioid consumption over 72 h. RESULTS: Patients with homozygous genotypes of the ATF3 SNPs had significantly higher opioid requirements than non‑carriers, despite reporting similar subjective pain scores. This consistent genotype‑dependent pattern provided a clinically relevant phenotype suitable for integration into predictive algorithms. CONCLUSION: ATF3 genotyping offers a promising biomarker for computationally informed precision analgesia. By linking genomic variability to clinically meaningful outcomes within a structured clinical and genomic framework, this approach supports the future development of risk-stratified clinical decision-support systems to optimize postoperative pain management.Trial registration ChiCTR1900021991, registered 30 April 2019.

Multi-omics panorama of glaucoma: Pathogenesis, biomarkers, and novel therapeutic strategies.

Glaucoma is a group of irreversible, blinding eye diseases characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells, leading to gradual visual field defects that severely impact patients' quality of life. Its complex pathophysiological mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting the development of early diagnostic and effective therapeutic strategies. Advances in omics technologies have provided new insights into elucidating the pathophysiology of glaucoma. We summarize specific alterations in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, and microbiomics associated with glaucoma. We emphasize the systematic analysis of disease mechanisms, identification of clinically applicable biomarkers, and discovery of novel therapeutic targets through the integration of these data. This approach paves new pathways for glaucoma subtype diagnosis and personalized treatment, while also outlining future research directions and challenges.

A reanalysis of the Hitachi cohort study evaluating the effectiveness of low-dose CT screening for lung cancer.

The effectiveness of low-dose thoracic computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer for non-smokers or light smokers has been unclear. The results of the Hitachi cohort study performed by the conventional multivariable analysis suggested the reduction of lung cancer mortality by thoracic CT screening, but also revealed the lower all-cause mortality in the CT group, which indicated the existence of self-selection bias. Because the background of the subjects in the CT screening group and that in the X-ray screening group were very different, it is critical to adjust appropriately the confounding factors. In this brief report, we describe a re-evaluation of the results of the Hitachi Cohort Study performed by using more flexible methods, propensity score matching and inverse probability weighting.

Oxidative potential of fresh vs. O₃-aged PM2.5 across urban and rural sources in China.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a major health risk, yet its impacts are still largely assessed using mass concentration, which does not capture toxicity. Recently, oxidative potential (OP) has emerged as a more relevant metric, reflecting the ability of particles to generate reactive oxygen species. A current challenge, especially in China, is understanding how emission sources and ozone (O3) aging affect PM2.5 toxicity, given that O3 is an increasingly important pollutant there. A work by Ma and co-workers published in J. Environ. Sci. (doi.org/10.1016/j.jes.2024.04.023) addressed this by evaluating the OP of fresh and O3-aged PM2.5 from multiple sources in China using the dithiothreitol (DTT) assay. Biomass burning particles exhibited the highest OP, up to 35 times greater than suburban PM2.5, driven by water-soluble organics and transition metals. While O3 aging generally reduced OP, it also induced complex chemical transformations. These findings highlight that PM2.5 toxicity is dynamic and source-dependent, underscoring the need to move beyond mass-based air quality metrics.

Assessing the threat of Bacillus cereus: From toxin characterization to modern detection strategies.

Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming pathogen responsible for both diarrheal and emetic foodborne illnesses worldwide. Its significance in food safety has received growing attention. Recent advances, including the discovery of novel virulence factors and the development of emerging detection technologies, have provided new insights into its pathogenic mechanisms and surveillance strategies. This review critically examines the global burden of B. cereus infections, and molecular mechanisms of its major virulence factors, and the performance characteristics of current detection knowledge gaps such as the viable-but-non-culturable state and regulatory blind spots for emetic toxins, and discuss unresolved challenges in clinical management. By integrating epidemiological, microbiological, and technological perspectives with critical lens, this review aims to provide a valuable reference for future research and food safety practices.

Unanticipated Effects of Parental Social Media Use: Guidance for Clinicians.

"Sharenting," the practice of parents posting photographs, videos, and information about their children on social media, has an ever-growing presence in modern society. However, researchers and the public are now recognizing the potential consequences of sharing, including creation of permanent digital footprints, strained familial relationships, and threats to children's safety. Despite this emerging evidence, no U.S. clinical or legal guidelines exist for parents on safe sharing. Visits with behavioral health providers and family physicians can serve as key points for intervention. This column aims to provide clinicians with a better understanding of sharenting and its potential effects on patients and families, guidance on discussing safe online sharing, and a tool for parents and other caregivers to use when deciding whether to post.

First insights into the role of evolutionary history in shaping venom composition of Vipera ammodytes.

Understanding intraspecific venom variation requires distinguishing the contributions of neutral population history from natural selection. This study aims to determine whether venom variation in Vipera ammodytes species complex is structured across eight phylogenetic groups. Despite a complex evolutionary history, venom composition did not differ among phylogenetic groups within the analytical framework used, suggesting that shared ancestry alone does not explain venom variation. Whether local adaptation to environmental conditions explains the observed variation remains an open question for future studies.

How I do it: 3-Suture robotic pyeloplasty: Step-by-step technique.

Robot-assisted pyeloplasty is now a gold standard in the treatment of pediatric ureteropelvic junction obstruction. We describe a standardized "3-suture" technique designed to facilitate the pyelo-ureteral anastomosis. We used this technique in 65 paediatric patients aged 3-17 years. Early major complications (Clavien-Dindo grade III) occurred in 3 patients (4.6%). The median operative time was 150 min. Surgical success was achieved in 96% of cases at a median follow-up of 9.5 months. This 3-suture approach offers a highly reproducible method for robotic pyeloplasty, facilitating accurate anatomical reconstruction with excellent surgical outcomes.

Leveraging traveller genomics for LMIC diarrhoeal disease management.

Diarrhoeal pathogens impose a substantial global health burden, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, in these settings, health-seeking behaviours, suboptimal microbiological capacity, and challenges in establishing genomics capacity constrain effective surveillance, including surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In contrast, high-income countries routinely generate and share large volumes of diarrhoeal pathogen genomes through established systems, with a significant proportion originating from travellers returning from LMICs. These data reveal strong geographical structuring of lineages and clinically relevant AMR patterns, demonstrating untapped potential to support improvements in geographically granulated surveillance to support antimicrobial treatment recommendations. In this opinion article, we outline the potential to integrate traveller-derived microbial genomic data into LMIC public health decision-making and highlight the scientific, ethical, practical, and governance considerations for implementation.

The composition of the periostracum in the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta and the mantle's response to sulfide.

The razor clam Sinonovacula constricta inhabits sulfide-rich intertidal sediments and exhibits remarkable tolerance to this toxicant, yet the role of its periostracum in sulfide adaptation remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the composition and structure of the periostracum proteins, and the response of the mantle to sulfide stress. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed that the periostracum is approximately 10 μm thick and contains 1.43 wt% sulfur, and proteomic analysis further confirmed the presence of organic sulfur (Cys/Met-rich proteins), suggesting its involvement in sulfur deposition. Using LC-MS/MS, we identified 77 high-confidence proteins from the periostracum, which were classified into six functional categories: enzymes, framework proteins, immune-related proteins, calcium ion-related proteins, other proteins, and proteins with unknown functions. Phylogenetic analyses of representative proteins revealed bivalve-specific evolutionary patterns, with several proteins exclusively present in Bivalvia, such as Unknown protein 2 and 7, which possess signal peptides and low-complexity domains. For the sulfide exposure experiment, razor clams were subjected to three Na2S concentrations (0, 10, and 100 μM). qPCR analysis showed that, compared with the control group, Chitin-binding protein 3 and Tyrosinase were significantly upregulated in the mantle, peaking in the 100 μM group at 48 h (5677.84-fold and 157.20-fold, respectively), whereas Collagen and Cadherin 3 were generally suppressed. This study represents one of the most comprehensive proteomic profiles of the razor clam periostracum and highlights the mantle's potential role in sulfide tolerance, offering insights for sulfur-tolerant aquaculture breeding and bioremediation applications.

Pharmacological and non-pharmacological modulation of striatal dopamine release: a meta-analysis of [11C]raclopride PET studies.

The dopaminergic system has long been a central focus of functional neuroimaging. Positron emission tomography (PET) with the D2/D3 receptor radioligand [11C]raclopride remains the most widely used method for indirectly quantifying striatal dopamine release in vivo. However, no previous meta-analysis has studied the relative magnitude and regional distribution of dopamine release across different interventions or cognitive interventions overall. To address this gap, in this meta-analysis of 92 [11C]raclopride PET studies (n = 1640), we compared the magnitude and regional distribution of dopamine release induced by amphetamine, methylphenidate, ketamine, alcohol, and cognitive challenges with and without reward. Amphetamine induced approximately four-fold greater dopamine release than cognitive challenges (10.9 vs. 2.7%, p < 0.001), and approximately twice that of alcohol (4.8%, p < 0.001), with effects comparable to methylphenidate (11.5%) and slightly greater than ketamine (9.8%). Psychostimulant-induced increase in synaptic dopamine was greater in putamen and ventral striatum than in caudate, whereas alcohol preferentially engaged ventral striatum. Dopamine release did not differ between rewarded and non-rewarded cognitive tasks in the ventral striatum (p > 0.14) or overall striatum (p > 0.10). Methylphenidate-induced increases in synaptic dopamine appeared to attenuate with advancing age, whereas cognitive challenges were associated with greater dopamine release in older individuals. These findings demonstrate that individual pharmacological and cognitive interventions differ markedly in both magnitude and regional pattern of dopamine release. They also suggest that [¹¹C]raclopride PET may have limited sensitivity for distinguishing reward-related from non-reward-related dopamine release. These findings have implications for the design and interpretation of future neuroimaging studies of dopaminergic function in health and disease.

Long-term motor outcomes after parent-administered early physiotherapy in children born very preterm.

OBJECTIVE: This observational follow-up study investigated whether early parent-administered physiotherapy during the neonatal period was associated with motor outcomes in childhood, and compared these outcomes between two preterm groups and a term-born control group. STUDY DESIGN: This is a follow-up of a pragmatic randomised controlled trial that initially included 153 infants born very preterm (≤32 weeks' gestation), randomised to either early parent-administered physiotherapy or standard care, between 34 and 37 weeks' gestation. At 7-10 years, motor outcomes were assessed in 92 children (intervention, n = 43; standard care, n = 49) and in 83 term-born controls. The primary outcome was the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2). Group differences were analysed using linear mixed models adjusted for age, sex, and parental education. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for scores ≤5th and ≤ 15th percentiles to estimate the likelihood of having or being at risk for movement difficulties. RESULTS: Mean MABC-2 total score was 9.0 (SD3.0) in the intervention group, 9.6 (SD3.0) in the standard care group, and 10.8 (SD2.9) in the control group. Adjusted mean difference between the intervention and the standard care groups did not differ but both the intervention and standard care groups had lower scores than the control group (-1.2; 95% CI: -2.3 to -0.2 and -0.6; 95% CI: -1.6 to 0.3, respectively). Adjusted ORs for scoring ≤5th or ≤15th percentile did not differ in either preterm group compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: At 7-10 years, motor outcomes did not differ between children born very preterm who received three-week parent-administered physiotherapy and those who received standard care during the neonatal period. However, both preterm groups had lower motor scores than term-born peers.

DNM1L depletion leads to accelerated heteroplasmy shifting of m.10191C allele through ATG7-dependent pathways.

Nucleotide composition bias in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) makes the heavy strand prone to form a DNA secondary structure called a guanine quadruplex (G4). This secondary structure has been shown to inhibit polymerase processivity in vitro. We previously identified pathogenic mtDNA variants that lead to increased G4-forming propensity, including a T to C mutation at m.10191 (m.10191 T > C) that causes Leigh syndrome. Cells treated with G4 binding agent (G4BA) berberine show a reduction in m.10191C pathogenic heteroplasmy levels. To help better understand the underlying mechanism behind berberine-induced heteroplasmy shift, we examined the relationship between mitochondrial fission and berberine-mediated shift. Here we show that knockdown of the fission factor DNM1L leads to an accelerated heteroplasmy shift towards the healthy mtDNA allele, lowering m.10191C by 10% in 3 weeks, compared to the 5 weeks required for berberine alone. The specific mechanism involves ATG7, as knockdown of ATG7 is able to partially delay this accelerated heteroplasmy shift. Taken together, we show that DNM1L knockdown is able to accelerate berberine-induced m.10191C heteroplasmy shifting through an autophagy-related mechanism.

Ribosomal protein S3: a critical regulator of human disease mechanisms.

Ribosomal protein S3 (RPS3) is an essential structural component of the 40S ribosomal subunit, yet growing evidence highlights crucial extraribosomal roles in genome maintenance, cell-cycle control, and immune signaling. Dysregulation of RPS3 contributes to diverse human disorders, including cancer, inflammatory diseases, neurodegeneration, and resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer therapies. As a cofactor of NF-κB and a participant in DNA damage responses, RPS3 occupies a node that integrates stress signaling with transcriptional reprogramming, enabling both protective and pathological outcomes. The present review critically evaluates mechanistic insights into RPS3 biology, emphasizing recent findings that delineate its context-dependent effects, discrepancies across models, and remaining gaps that restrict translational applications. Understanding these complexities is essential to assess RPS3's potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.

Contrast Heat-Cold Versus Thermoneutral Showering in Trained Combat Sport Athletes: A Randomized Field Trial of Recovery Outcomes.

Contrast heat-cold showering is popular for recovery, but multisystem evidence and persistence after cessation remain unclear. To evaluate whether a 4-week post-training contrast heat-cold shower intervention produces an integrated recovery profile across four domains (autonomic, endocrine, perceptual, and microvascular) rather than testing a single isolated physiological pathway, across baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and 2-week wash-out (T2). Sixty combat-sport athletes were randomized to contrast showers (10 min alternating warm 38-40°C and cold 13-15°C) or an active thermoneutral-shower comparator (10 min, 32-34°C) after training for 4 weeks. Primary analyses were per-protocol (≥ 75% compliance; n = 57), with intention-to-treat sensitivity analyses. Outcomes were Total Quality Recovery (TQR), morning salivary cortisol (two mornings averaged), resting HRV, and post-occlusive reactive hyperemia (PORH). From T0 to T1, favorable between-group changes were observed for resting HR (ΔΔ -2.10 bpm, 95% CI -2.24 to -1.96; g -0.65; p < 0.001), lnRMSSD (ΔΔ 0.123 log units, 95% CI 0.108 to 0.137; g 0.74; p < 0.001), with similar T1 effects for RMSSD and SDNN, and TQR (ΔΔ 0.61 points, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.95; g 0.80; p < 0.001). These T1 autonomic and perceptual changes were not maintained at T2 (all T2-T0 ΔΔ p > 0.05). Cortisol and PORH-derived outcomes showed no statistically clear between-group differences at T1 or T2 (all p > 0.05). Compared with thermoneutral showering, 4 weeks of post-training contrast heat-cold showering produced short-term favorable between-group changes in autonomic regulation and perceived recovery, but not in morning cortisol or PORH-derived microvascular reactivity. These effects were not maintained after wash-out; therefore, causal attribution to the shower intervention alone and claims of persistent physiological adaptation should be made cautiously. Trial registration: ISRCTN15418049.
