Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) imposes a substantial health burden in China. Finotonlimab plus bevacizumab recently prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) vs. sorafenib, but its economic value remains unknown. Here we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of finotonlimab plus bevacizumab vs. sorafenib from the Chinese healthcare system perspective. Parametric survival models were fitted to extrapolate PFS and OS. Total costs, life-years (LYs), quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), incremental net monetary benefit (INMB), and incremental net health benefit (INHB) were estimated at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $27,906 per QALY. Uncertainty was evaluated by one-way and two-way sensitivity analyses, probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA), subgroup analyses, scenario analyses, and price simulations. In the base-case analysis, sorafenib yielded 1.74 LYs and 1.25 QALYs at a total cost of $10,303.10, whereas finotonlimab plus bevacizumab yielded 3.01 LYs and 2.18 QALYs at a total cost of $58,595.49. Compared with sorafenib, the combination increased costs by $48,292.39 and generated gains of 1.27 LYs and 0.93 QALYs, resulting in ICERs of $38,203.46 per LY and $51,899.31 per QALY. INMB (-$22,325.82) and INHB (-0.80 QALYs) were negative. Sensitivity analyses identified PFS utility and bevacizumab cost as key drivers, but all ICERs remained above the WTP threshold. In PSA, the mean ICER was $50561.81 per QALY, and the probability of cost-effectiveness was 0% at the prespecified threshold. Based on the assumptions and inputs used in the present model, finotonlimab plus bevacizumab was unlikely to be cost-effective compared with sorafenib at the prespecified WTP in China.

This article explores the evolving role of social sciences in humanitarian action, focusing on its potential for community engagement, and how this can aid capacity building and localization efforts that might lead toward decolonisation. Drawing on interviews and group discussions with humanitarian practitioners internationally, it examines both the promise and the challenges of integrating social sciences into emergency responses. While valued for their holistic and relational approaches, social sciences often clash with the fast-paced, outcome-driven demands of crisis settings. Participatory and qualitative methods are frequently adapted to meet institutional expectations for standardized, quantifiable results, risking reinforcement of top-down, decontextualized practices. Findings highlight the need for greater reflexivity and alignment between critical social scientists’ social justice aims and their professional practices. Decolonising humanitarian action requires more than participatory tools: it demands redistributing resources and shifting decision-making power to local communities. Despite growing localization discourse, participants reported persistent barriers to leadership, funding, and recognition of local knowledge. We call on social scientists, practitioners and organizations integrating social science methodologies into humanitarian programming, to advance a critical, transdisciplinary practice that supports local governance, strengthens sustainable capacities, and disrupts structures that perpetuate dependency, enabling genuinely community-led and sustainable solutions.

BACKGROUND: We estimated the XBB.1.5 vaccine effectiveness (VE) against COVID-19 hospitalization and death in Belgium, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Spain (Navarre), and Sweden following the 2023-24 fall vaccination campaign among immunocompromised persons (ICPs).
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We conducted a multi-country retrospective cohort study using electronic health records. Study sites identified ICPs aged ≥18 years through a common set of immunocompromising conditions and follow-up started the first day of the 2023 vaccination campaign until 12 months later. VE was calculated by time since vaccination (14-59, 60-119, 120-179, 180-365 days after vaccination) for ICPs by pooling study site level confounder adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) of vaccination, estimated with Cox proportional hazards regression models, using a random effect meta-analysis with VE = 100 × (1-pooled aHR).
RESULTS: The XBB.1.5 VE was 52% (95% confidence interval (CI): 41 to 60) and 75% (95%CI: 60 to 84) against hospitalization and death, respectively, 14-59 days after vaccination, and VE decreased with time since vaccination with no remaining protection at 180-365 days after vaccination.
CONCLUSION: Adapted XBB.1.5 vaccine provided moderate protection within 120 days after vaccination against severe COVID-19 outcomes among ICPs aged ≥18 years during a period with BA.2.86/JN.1 replacing the XBB.1.5 variant.

OBJECTIVES: Despite substantial progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS, the epidemic continues to pose a major global public health challenge, with persistent residential disparities. However, the contributing factor for urban-rural disparities in Ethiopia is limited. Therefore, this study aims to identify inequalities in HIV testing across residences and identify contributing factors in Ethiopia.
STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study design was used to analyse secondary data.
METHODS: We used Individual Recode (IR) dataset, which includes women of reproductive age, and the Male Recode (MR) dataset, which includes men aged 15-59 years, from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS). Descriptive statistics summarised participants’ socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. A multivariate decomposition analysis was employed to assess residential disparities in HIV testing.
RESULT: Overall, 44.9% of participants reported having been tested for HIV. Uptake was substantially higher among urban residents, with 69.3% reporting HIV testing compared with 38.3% of rural residents. The urban-rural gap was explained by both differences in participant characteristics and differences in the effects of those characteristics. Overall, 23.5% of the disparity was attributable to compositional factors, while 76.5% was attributable to coefficient effects. Being married (-12.7%), secondary (12.2%), and higher education (17.3%), and metropolises (3.7%) were the major compositional factors.
CONCLUSION: There was a substantial disparity in HIV testing between urban and rural residents in Ethiopia. The residential difference in HIV testing was largely driven by differences in characteristics such as marital status, education level, and metropolises, which influenced HIV testing. Policy makers should strengthen interventions aiming to increase HIV testing, particularly in rural areas, with a focus on enhancing education and engagement with health services.

BACKGROUND: Communication is a cornerstone in nursing. Research on nurse-patient communication faces well-known challenges, as encounters are dynamic, context-dependent, and shaped by subtle verbal and non-verbal cues. Capturing this complexity requires rigorous observational approaches, of which audio and video recordings are key methods, enabling documentation of communication as it unfolds in practice. However, collecting such data in clinical settings involves significant methodological and ethical considerations.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to provide guidance for methodological rigor in data collection using audio or video recordings when observing clinical communication in patient encounters.
INFORMATION SOURCES: This discussion paper draws on theory and previous empirical research on communication in clinical patient encounters using data collected with audio and video recordings.
RESULTS: The practical guidance is structured into five key areas spanning the data collection process: (1) planning and preparation, (2) audio versus video recordings, (3) ethical and legal concerns, (4) information and recruitment, and (5) procedures for collecting recordings. Each area includes methodological considerations related to the design and conduct of data collection, as well as recommendations for transparent reporting to support rigor.
CONCLUSIONS: This guidance supports researchers in addressing key methodological challenges in data collection using audio and video recordings in studies of clinical communication. It highlights considerations relevant to the design and conduct of the research process, including issues of ecological validity and generalizability, and emphasizes the importance of transparent reporting of methodological decisions. In light of previous inconsistencies in reporting, such guidance is essential to strengthen methodological rigor.By adopting more robust methodological strategies, ethical and scientific standards in study design and data collection can be strengthened.

This study compared liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), micro-bioassay (MBa), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for quantification of lincomycin (10 mg/kg BW) in porcine serum and evaluated lincomycin pharmacokinetic (PK) data in healthy piglets also co-infected with Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida. All methods satisfied standard bioanalytical validation criteria, including low limits of detection and quantification, acceptable intra-assay imprecision and error, and strong linearity across clinically relevant concentration ranges. Serum concentrations measured by MBa and ELISA showed high correlation with LC-MS in both healthy and infected models (Pearson r ≥ 0.97, low bias on Bland-Altman analysis); they produced comparable PK parameters (Cmax, Tmax, area under the curve [AUC], clearance, and mean residence time), indicating suitability for PK/pharmacodynamic (PD)-based dose optimization. PK analysis demonstrated rapid absorption after intramuscular administration and disease-associated alterations in selected distribution and disposition parameters. AUC and clearance were nearly similar across analytical methods and largely consistent between software platforms (WinNonlin and PKSolver). Thus, lower-cost MBa and ELISA-combined with freely available PKSolver-can generate robust, decision-relevant PK/PD data for lincomycin in swine, providing a practical framework for antimicrobial dose refinement and stewardship in resource-limited veterinary and farm settings.

PURPOSE: To explore experiences of loneliness among community-dwelling stroke survivors through a secondary qualitative analysis.
METHOD: A secondary analysis of a qualitative dataset was conducted, including 26 transcripts from semi-structured interviews that originally aimed to explore psychosocial experience after stroke. Data relevant to loneliness were finally extracted from 20 transcripts. Thematic analysis was adopted for data analysis.
RESULTS: Three themes and six subthemes were identified: (1) Disconnection from social belonging, including difficulty in engaging in social activities and perceived sense of difference from others. (2) Lack of closeness to familiar people or loved ones, including decline in meaningful interactions or relationships with friends and family members, and lack of understanding and empathy from social networks. (3) Loss of direction, hope, and meaning, including perceived sense of learned helplessness, and diminished expectations and purposes in life.
CONCLUSION: Loneliness after stroke is a complex experience. There is a clear need for designing tailored interventions to address loneliness following stroke. Addressing loneliness should be considered as a core issue of stroke recovery within both policy frameworks and practical guidelines. In addition, further research is needed to explore the pathways leading to social, emotional, and existential loneliness following stroke.

BACKGROUND: Although publicly funded home care in Sweden is available to all based on municipal needs assessments, many individuals ≥65 years do not apply until their needs have become extensive. The aim of this study was to explore how older people experience the phase of life leading up to their decision to apply for home care for the first time.
METHODS: Individual, semi-structured interviews with 14 men and women aged 67-94 years with first-time home care in 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden, were analysed with an experiential and inductive approach to reflexive thematic analysis. Transition theory in nursing was applied as a sensitising framework.
RESULTS: We created 35 codes and the theme ‘Coming to terms with the need for home care ‒ a movement that ebbs and flows’, describing the fluctuating process of accepting increasing needs for support through home care. While some navigated this process pragmatically, for others it involved identity redefinition. Significant others sometimes became a driving force in the individual’s process of acceptance.
CONCLUSION: These findings expand the understanding of why individuals may hesitate and delay entering home care despite having support needs and suggest that some may initiate home care use while remaining ambivalent about this decision.

OBJECTIVES: It is critical to identify factors in the work environment that contribute to physician burnout to foster a professional culture that nurtures wellness. This study examined the prevalence of burnout symptoms among a group of Canadian pediatric undergraduate education leaders and explored how membership in a national community (Paediatric Undergraduate Program Directors of Canada, PUPDOC) may serve as a potential mitigating factor.
METHODS: This mixed-methods study involved a survey and subsequent focus groups of PUPDOC members. Survey comprised questions from the Maslach burnout index (MBI) adapted for the educational context. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. A qualitative descriptive approach was selected and focus group transcripts were analyzed using content analysis. Themes were generated that relate to PUPDOC’s role in shaping members’ educational and academic work.
RESULTS: Sixteen members completed the survey (16/23, 70%). On the traditional MBI screen, three of 16 participants scored high-risk for burnout, but none reported high levels of symptoms on the adapted questions. Eighteen members participated in focus groups. Themes were interrelated, and included the significance of a sense of community, strengths and stressors of the job, finding meaning in one’s work, opportunities, and legitimacy associated with belonging to a group.
CONCLUSIONS: Our small group of pediatric undergraduate education leaders demonstrated a relatively low burnout rate compared to published rates in physician colleagues. We propose a sense of community that transcends institutions may help to mitigate burnout. By encouraging membership in such organizations, academic institutional leadership can support resilience and invest in the wellbeing of their education leaders.

The deterioration of family-based care and rising functional impairment among older adults have led to greater reliance on paid care, which remains sparse in low- and middle-income care economies. The present study aims to explore the demands and dilemmas in paid care as perceived by caregivers, receivers, and service providers. A qualitative exploratory design grounded in an interpretivist approach is used to explore demands and dilemmas in paid care. Twenty older adults (65+), seven caregivers, and eight service providers were selected through purposive sampling and interviewed until data saturation, followed by an inductive thematic analysis. The analysis illuminated the care demand‒choice‒dilemma‒decision framework, which depicts the realities of the care paradox and the pathways to care decisions in migrant households. However, suitability, reliability, risk of discontinuity, unaffordability, and limited person-centered care in paid care are reported as dilemmas in paid care, which is critical in deciding the places where people choose to age in their later years.

Environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) crops is essential for evaluating their potential impact on non-target organisms under field conditions. In this study, a long-term field assessment was conducted to evaluate the ecological effects of glufosinate-tolerant GM zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.; events JG21 and JG21-MS1) on non-target arthropod communities at two geographically distinct living modified organism isolation sites in South Korea (Jeonju and Seogwipo). A total of 528,796 arthropods were collected and classified into three functional groups: pests (45.73%), natural enemies (14.51%), and other arthropods (39.76%). Arthropod community composition exhibited clear regional and temporal variations. Linear mixed-effects model (LMM) analyses indicated that arthropod abundance and diversity indices were primarily influenced by the year and region, whereas treatment effects, defined as differences between GM events and non-GM controls, were not significant. Although occasional statistical differences were detected, post hoc comparisons confirmed that arthropod communities associated with GM treatments were ecologically comparable to those of non-GM controls within each region and year (p > .05). Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) ordination revealed clear clustering by region and year, with substantial overlap among treatments. Permutational multivariate analysis of variance showed that year explained the largest proportion of the variation (R2 = 0.640), whereas treatment effects were negligible (R2 = 0.006). Overall, these results provide robust field-based evidence that glufosinate-tolerant and male-sterile GM zoysiagrass does not adversely affect non-target arthropod communities, supporting its environmental safety in perennial agroecosystems.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the association between body roundness index (BRI) and female infertility.
METHOD: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013 to 2020. BRI was calculated using standardized measurements of height and waist circumference. Multivariable logistic regression models assessed the relationship between BRI and infertility, adjusting for potential confounders. Subgroup analyses examined the stability of the relationship between BRI and infertility, and smooth-fitting curves were applied to explore the linear or non-linear relationship between them.
RESULTS: Among the participants, 483 (13.43%) women were diagnosed with infertility. BRI was positively related to infertility (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05, 1.13). When categorized into tertiles, women in the highest BRI tertile had a 78% higher risk of infertility (OR 1.78; 95% CI 1.37, 2.32) compared with the lowest tertile. Subgroup analyses revealed potential interactions of age and pregnancy history regarding the association between BRI and infertility, showing an S-shaped relationship in women under 36 years and those without a pregnancy history.
CONCLUSION: BRI is positively correlated with infertility in United States women. This finding suggests that BRI could serve as a valuable predictor in female infertility assessment.

Over the last decade, there has been an increase in calls and efforts to change knowledge practices in global health, from within the field, in the fields that intersect with it, and from outside the field. While these calls and efforts are often aimed at rethinking or reimagining the field, they often fall short. Based on interviews with researchers who have participated in change efforts within and around global health, we developed criteria for distinguishing change efforts between first-order change, which seeks to adjust the current system for efficiency and effectiveness while keeping things the same; second-order change, which seeks to reform the current system to meet the needs of stakeholders; and third-order change, which seeks the total transformation of the system. In addition to the schema, our findings illustrate how the desired order of change is not simply a choice but rather dynamically determined in the interaction between change seekers and the institutions and systems they seek to change. This study offers a tool to clearly articulate the nature of a particular change effort, to distinguish and allow for comparison between change efforts, and to think through the kinds and extents of change required to achieve desired transformational change.

BACKGROUND: While reproductive tract infections have been associated with preterm delivery (PTD), the specific etiologically-relevant infections remain elusive. Genital herpes simplex virus (GHSV), after initial infection, remains in the body permanently and can cause viral shedding during pregnancy leading to placental inflammation which is one of the major pathogenetic pathways for PTD. However, the direct evidence linking between GHSV infection and PTD has not been well-investigated and reported.
METHODS: A large prospective cohort study with a two-stage study design was conducted among 84,935 pregnant women at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC). Pregnant women with and without GHSV (exposure) were identified from the KPNC electronic health record (EHR). Gestational age at delivery was also captured for all deliveries EHRs to determine PTD (outcome).
RESULTS: Using Cox regression to control for confounders and account for varying gestational age at delivery, GHSV infection, if not treated during pregnancy, was associated with more than 80% increased risk of PTD compared to no GHSV infection: adjusted hazard ratio (aHR)=1.81, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.59-2.06). This association was much stronger for women with symptomatic, therefore active, GHSV infection during pregnancy with > 3.5 times higher risk of PTD than women without GHSV infection. In contrast, the association was weaker for women with asymptomatic, therefore inactive, GHSV infection during pregnancy (33% increased risk of PTD). This contrast between symptomatic and asymptomatic infection supports the argument that the association between GHSV infection and increased risk of PTD is likely due to underlying biologic pathogenesis, rather than confounding.
CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals an important, yet modifiable (treatable) infectious risk factor for PTD, and provides potentially actionable findings that could lead to proactive identification of pregnant women with GHSV infection through prenatal screening. The findings could stimulate research to examine the effective treatment of women with GHSV infection during pregnancy to reduce PTD.

BACKGROUND: Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is used in workplaces to improve mental health literacy, reduce stigma, and promote help-seeking. This paper explores how employees perceive and engage with MHFA in work settings.
METHODS: This qualitative study was embedded within the EMPOWER cluster randomised controlled trial (Atanda et al., 2020). Twenty-four participants, including Mental Health First Aiders, recipients of MHFA support, employees, and senior managers, took part in semi-structured interviews. Guided by a relativist epistemological position, data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.(Atanda et al., 2020).
FINDINGS: Three themes were identified: (1) ambiguity surrounding the purpose of MHFA; (2) uncertainty and scepticism regarding the role and effectiveness of MHFA (subthemes: Anticipated Stigma, MHFA not addressing core concerns affecting staff well-being); and (3) risks to personal relationships following disclosure. Participants questioned the purpose, boundaries, and organisational value of MHFA, contributing to reluctance to engage. Disclosure decisions were shaped by concerns about stigma, confidentiality, and potential impacts on workplace relationships and career progression.
DISCUSSION: The findings suggest MHFA is most effective when part of a broader organisational commitment to employee wellbeing. Clarifying MHFA’s purpose, addressing workplace stigma, and tackling organisational sources of distress may improve engagement and strengthen mental health initiatives.

Public Financial Management (PFM) reforms are being increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance health financing systems and advance progress toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Although theoretical frameworks have outlined the pathways through which PFM reforms operate, empirical evidence on their effectiveness in specific low- and middle-income country (LMIC) contexts remains limited. This paper examines the reform of the Single Nodal Agency (SNA) system in India, aimed at improving budget execution in centrally funded schemes, including the flagship health sector scheme, the National Health Mission (NHM). The study analyzes the gains and challenges associated with the reform and highlights the institutional features that are critical to its effectiveness. The study draws on an assessment of SNA implementation in two Indian states, Bihar and Odisha, using qualitative evidence from key informant interviews conducted across multiple administrative levels between February 2023 and February 2024. This was supplemented with data provided by state finance departments and NHM implementing agencies. Results indicate that the reform has achieved its intended gains in cash management, expenditure transparency, and improved alignment of central fund releases with scheme expenditures at the sub-national level. However, weak budget credibility, coupled with constraints in digital connectivity and limited personnel capacity to manage financial transactions, is likely to exacerbate inequities in access to scheme funds. The increased emphasis on spending has heightened compliance pressures on fund utilization, while attention to actual health system outcomes remains limited. In sum, a conducive institutional environment is essential for reaping benefits through PFM reforms in LMICs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of obesity on biologic efficacy in psoriasis across different drug classes.
METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched from inception to March 2026. Studies reporting obesity‑stratified outcomes of biologics for psoriasis were included. Primary outcome was PASI90 (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index); secondary outcomes were PASI75 and PASI100. Random‑effects model was used to calculate pooled relative risks (RRs). Subgroup analyses and meta‑regression explored heterogeneity.
RESULTS: Twelve studies (4200 patients) were included. Obese patients had lower PASI90 response (RR = 0.64; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.55-0.76; I2 = 72%), but publication bias was present (Egger p < 0.001); after trim‑and‑fill correction, RR = 0.79 (95% CI: 0.58-1.08). This finding should therefore be interpreted with caution. Significant negative effects were seen for interleukin (IL)‑17 inhibitors (RR = 0.57) and IL‑12/23 inhibitors (RR = 0.43) in subgroup analyses, but not for tumor necrosis factor‑alpha (TNF‑α) or IL‑23 inhibitors, although the small number of studies for some classes limits the robustness of these estimates. PASI75 (RR = 0.52) and PASI100 (RR = 0.42) were also lower in obese patients. Biologic class, study design, region, mean body mass index (BMI), and obesity proportion were major sources of heterogeneity.
CONCLUSIONS: Obesity may be associated with reduced response to biologics in psoriasis, although the PASI90 result was affected by publication bias and became non‑significant after correction. The impact appeared to differ by class, with significant effects for IL‑17 and IL‑12/23 inhibitors in subgroup analyses, but these findings require confirmation in larger studies. Weight status should be considered as one of multiple factors when selecting biologics, but current evidence does not support treatment selection based solely on obesity.

Large clusters in HIV-1 molecular networks contain a substantial proportion of people living with HIV and dominate local epidemics; however, their large size and complex structure pose a challenge for effective public health interventions. We developed an analytical framework to partition the large cluster into small groups for precise intervention. In the HIV-1 CRF07_BC molecular transmission network in Guangzhou, China (2008-2020), a giant component (681 members) was partitioned into 34 communities with dense internal and sparse external links. All 378 inter-community links involved high-centrality members from Community 1 (P < 0.001) and phylogenetic analysis identified Community 1 as the most likely ancestral source of the giant component (marginal probability = 0.989). Exponential random graph models (ERGMs) revealed significant homophily effect among members with specific characteristics in the giant component and its large communities, highlighting potential outbreaks within specific subgroups. Partitioning giant components into communities may be a promising approach to help develop community-level interventions and could improve the effectiveness of interventions targeted at large clusters.

This study examines mass testing in three Chinese cities since 2020 as a ‘stress test’ for local governance. It analyses the governance performance of Shenzhen, Nanjing and Wuxi in terms of efficiency, equity and community resilience. Using Melbourne’s pandemic lockdown as a reference case, it discusses the underlying mechanisms linking different governance approaches to health equity outcomes. The study adopts a nested governance framework to examine how governance capacities and policy logics operate across different local contexts. The results indicate that Chinese cities can efficiently complete mass testing within a few days, but face pressures related to health equity and community resilience. Melbourne’s lockdown governance emphasised participation and institutional transparency, but advanced policies at a relatively slower pace. This study recommends building a dynamic governance mechanism that better balances efficiency and equity.

Obesity is a complex metabolic disorder increasingly linked to alterations in the gut microbiome. While most research has focused on bacterial communities, the contribution of nonbacterial components including viruses, archaea, and eukaryotic microorganisms remains insufficiently characterized. Here, we performed a multicohort analysis to investigate the role of the nonbacterial gut microbiome in obesity across three independent human cohorts. Using compositional analyses adjusted for key covariates and network based approaches, we identified consistent multikingdom alterations associated with obesity. Individuals without obesity showed a reproducible enrichment of methanogenic archaea, particularly Methanobrevibacter smithii and Methanobrevibacter millerae, whereas individuals with obesity were characterized by increased abundance of bacteriophages from the class Caudoviricetes. In an elderly cohort, eukaryotic taxa such as Blastocystis spp. were additionally associated with the without obesity group. These patterns were largely consistent across cohorts and robust to sex stratification. Beyond taxonomic differences, ecological network analyses revealed substantial reorganization of microbial interactions in obesity. The identity and composition of hub taxa differed significantly between obesity and without obesity networks across all cohorts, indicating a shift in the taxa occupying central ecological roles. Notably, these differences were observed even when similar microbial kingdoms were represented, underscoring the importance of species-level resolution. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that obesity is associated with coordinated compositional and ecological alterations across the nonbacterial gut microbiome. This multikingdom perspective expands current understanding of microbiome dysbiosis in metabolic disease and highlights the archaeome and virome as potential contributors to host metabolic health.

BACKGROUND: Dysregulation of maternal adaptations to pregnancy due to high pre-pregnancy BMI (pBMI) is associated with worsened health outcomes for mothers and children. The role of the gut microbiome in these adaptations remains unclear.
METHODS: Stool samples were collected from pregnant participants (n = 52) enrolled in the Be Healthy in Pregnancy study (NCT01689961) during first, second, and third trimesters, and 6-months postpartum, along with samples from their infants at 6 months of age. Following 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we implemented time-aligned LDA (TALDA) using a time-weighted sampling strategy with exponentially decaying weights to construct time-proximal cohorts, applied LDA to each cohort independently, and aligned resulting topics using the alto R package. Infant samples were analyzed using standard LDA.
RESULTS: Seven distinct subcommunities were identified, one of which represented perineal contamination and was excluded from further analysis. Remaining subcommunities had distinct taxonomic definitions which remained stable throughout pregnancy (mean cross-cohort stability 0.899) while subcommunity proportions within individuals varied. Multiparous individuals showed greater shifts in subcommunity proportions during early pregnancy, while primiparous individuals displayed progressively increasing shifts with the largest changes during the transition from pregnancy to postpartum. High pBMI was associated with reduced microbiome remodelling, particularly among multiparous individuals. In exploratory analyses, maternal SCFA-producing subcommunity abundance at late pregnancy was positively associated with infant Bifidobacterium-dominated subcommunity proportions at 6 months, while pBMI > 25 was independently associated with lower infant Bifidobacterium.
CONCLUSION: TALDA effectively distinguished between stable subcommunity definitions and dynamic subcommunity proportions, revealing that the microbiome maintains functional organization while subcommunity proportional contributions shift over the course of pregnancy and postpartum. These maternal dynamics may have intergenerational consequences through their influence on infant gut colonization. This work demonstrates that maternal factors modify microbiome trajectories and supports the existence of an ecological memory of pregnancy history within the maternal gut microbiome.

Defining clinically meaningful reference states of the human gut microbiota remains a major barrier to the clinical translation of microbiome testing, largely due to variability across populations. We aimed at evaluating whether dysbiosis can be identified in a standardized, geography-independent manner, using a composite, system-level microbiome diagnostic framework. We performed a retrospective observational analysis of 831 adult stool samples collected from healthy individuals and patients with inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, or other chronic inflammatory conditions across seven countries. In addition, U.S. National Institute of Standards Technology (NIST) human fecal reference materials were analyzed. Dysbiosis was assessed using a fixed microbial marker panel and composite distance metrics anchored to a clinically validated healthy Scandinavian reference population, using GA-map® Dysbiosis Test as an exemplar of this diagnostic framework. The diagnostic framework reproducibly identified normobiosis and dysbiosis across geographically distinct populations (USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, and the UK). Severe dysbiosis was detected with high specificity (93.6%) and positive predictive value (90.2%), independent of subjects’ country of origin. Healthy individuals showed highly comparable dysbiosis index distributions across regions. These findings demonstrate that clinically useful dysbiosis diagnostics do not require geographically tailored reference populations and support the feasibility of standardized, geography-independent microbiome diagnostics for clinical application.

Conceptually, current definitions of vaccine mandates involve two key elements: the requirement to be vaccinated and sanctions for non-compliance. However, during COVID-19, governments frequently introduced vaccine mandates in contexts where people were already denied access to work, travel, and social activities due to lockdowns and restrictions. This important context disrupts the standard operation of vaccine mandates. Accordingly, this paper explores COVID-19 vaccine mandates in New South Wales (Australia), France, Israel, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam, where mandates primarily served as incentives to restore basic rights to travel, work, and access public spaces, that were restricted during the pandemic. Through document analysis and key informant interviews, the paper examines how governments employed this “removal and restoration” model and explores how mandate policy instruments create incentive structures. In discussing the implications of mandates in relation to lockdowns and restrictions, and the perception of mandates as “coercive offers”, the paper proposes a revised conception and a 7S vaccine mandate framework by adding synergy and sustainment to the existing 5S model. It concludes by outlining the significance of this revised conception and framework for vaccine mandate policy research, design, and communication.

BACKGROUND: Exercise-induced fatigue is a complex, non-pathological state that acutely limits physical performance, and the serotonergic (5-HT) system has been proposed as an important modulator of its central components. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to clarify the effects of serotonergic pharmacological manipulation on exercise-related outcomes.
METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, and SportDiscus from inception to August 2025. Randomized controlled trials examining the effects of serotonergic pharmacological manipulation on exercise-related outcomes in healthy adults were included. Study selection, data extraction, and risk-of-bias assessment using RoB 2.0 were conducted independently. Pooled effects were synthesized using three-level random-effects models, and the certainty and robustness of the evidence were examined in additional analyses.
RESULTS: Twenty-one randomized controlled trials involving 248 healthy adults were included in the systematic review, of which 19 studies involving 229 participants were included in the meta-analysis. In the primary models, serotonergic pharmacological manipulation was associated with small reductions in evoked motor response (Hedges’ g = -0.24, 95% CI -0.46 to -0.02), time-domain EMG (Hedges’ g = -0.18, 95% CI -0.33 to -0.02), heart rate (Hedges’ g = -0.17, 95% CI -0.34 to -0.01), and blood glucose (Hedges’ g = -0.50, 95% CI -0.89 to -0.11). Voluntary activation showed a borderline negative pooled estimate (Hedges’ g = -0.20, 95% CI -0.40 to 0), whereas ratings of perceived exertion showed a positive but statistically uncertain pooled estimate (Hedges’ g = 0.63, 95% CI -0.01 to 1.28). Resting twitch torque showed a small positive pooled effect (Hedges’ g = 0.12, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.19), whereas superimposed twitch torque, maximal voluntary contraction, prolactin, lactic acid, and time to task failure did not show clear overall effects.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, this meta-analysis indicates that serotonergic pharmacological manipulation has outcome-specific effects on exercise-related fatigue rather than a single uniform influence across domains. The most consistent primary-model signals were found for evoked motor response, time-domain EMG, heart rate, and blood glucose, whereas overt performance and perceptual outcomes remained more variable. By integrating evidence across different serotonergic interventions and exercise paradigms, these findings improve our understanding of how 5-HT-related mechanisms may contribute to central fatigue during exercise.

BACKGROUND: The combination of doravirine and islatravir (DOR/ISL) is a novel two-drug regimen for HIV-1. Early development faced challenges due to dose-dependent immunological signals. We aimed to synthesize the evidence on the efficacy and safety of DOR/ISL across all treatment-experience categories, specifically evaluating the impact of islatravir dosage (0.25 mg vs 0.75 mg) on clinical and immunological outcomes.
METHODS: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) following PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar from inception through April 2026. Primary outcomes were virological suppression (<50 copies/mL) and mean change in CD4+ T-cell count at week 48. Data were pooled using random-effects models. Islatravir dose was evaluated as a pre-specified moderator. Quality was assessed using Cochrane RoB 2.0 and certainty of evidence was graded using the GRADE approach.
RESULTS: Seven RCTs (n = 3,600 participants) were included. At Week 48, DOR/ISL showed non-inferior suppression rates (RR 1.01 [95% CI 0.99-1.02]; p = 0.516; moderate-certainty evidence) and a statistically significant reduction in virological failure risk (RR 0.55 [0.33-0.92]; p = 0.022) compared to active control. Overall CD4+ gain was lower with DOR/ISL (MD -34.55 cells/μL; low-certainty evidence); however, a profound moderator effect of dose was observed (p < 0.0001). The 0.75 mg dose was associated with significant CD4+ and lymphocyte declines, whereas the approved 0.25 mg dose was immunologically neutral. DOR/ISL was weight-neutral compared to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (MD -0.25 kg [-0.66 to 0.16]; low-certainty evidence).
CONCLUSION: DOR/ISL 100/0.25 mg once daily achieved virological suppression comparable to standard-of-care ART regimens and was associated with lower rates of virological failure compared with active comparators. The immunological safety concerns observed in early trials were successfully resolved by dose optimization. These findings support the use of DOR/ISL (IDVYNSO) as a potential treatment option for both treatment-naïve and virologically suppressed adults while emphasizing long-term safety surveillance.

OBJECTIVE: To explore aspects of professional identity formation in participants of a longitudinal pediatric program for final-year medical students in the US.
INTRODUCTION: Many institutions have specialty-specific courses focused on the transition to residency, typically at the end of medical school. This study examines professional identity formation among participants of a longitudinal fourth-year Pediatric Concentration.
METHODS: Authors used a case study design for this qualitative research study using semi-structured interview questions based on a conceptual model of professional identity formation. Authors used purposeful sampling to identify study participants who were randomly selected from former students who completed the program between 2019 and 2021. Three interviewers independently conducted interviews with individual program participants. Thematic analysis with coder reliability was utilized for data analysis; two investigators independently coded and performed inter-rater reliability (IRR) on three sets of questions from transcriptions. After ensuring acceptable IRR, investigators coded the remaining questions and subsequently identified themes and sub-themes.
FINDINGS: Eleven former students completed interviews. Following initial independent coding, IRR for three questions was 80%. After coding the 11 interviews, investigators determined that code saturation was achieved. They subsequently identified six main themes: career development, interpersonal connection, personal growth, positive role models, skill-building, and supportive learning environment. Two cross-cutting themes were recognized throughout the data: sense of belonging and gaining confidence toward starting residency.
CONCLUSIONS: Participants in a longitudinal specialty-specific program in the final year of medical school experienced professional identity formation through a supportive learning environment fostering connection and personal growth while building skills, surrounded by positive role models. This community of practice cultivated a sense of belonging and helped participants gain confidence toward their residency and career. This longitudinal, specialty-specific approach to the final year of medical school may enhance professional identity formation for students entering all specialties and could facilitate transition to internship.

BACKGROUND: Creatine (Cr) and β-alanine (BA) are among the most studied ergogenic supplements, acting on distinct physiological pathways-Cr facilitates phosphocreatine resynthesis and rapid ATP turnover, while BA elevates intramuscular carnosine to enhance acid-base buffering. Although both compounds improve high-intensity performance independently, the ergogenic potential of their combined use remains uncertain.
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate and compare the isolated and combined effects of Cr and BA supplementation on aerobic and anaerobic performance indices using a network meta-analytic approach.
METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (to August 2025) identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining Cr, BA, or Cr + BA supplementation (≥2 weeks) in healthy adult athletes. Fifty-two RCTs (PEDro ≥ 6) met the inclusion criteria. Standardized mean differences (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed within random effects models. Performance outcomes included sprint, jump, agility, upper- and lower-body muscular endurance (UME, LME), and repeated-sprint ability (RSA).
RESULTS: Cr supplementation significantly improved sprint performance (SMD = -0.64; p = 0.04), jump performance (SMD = 0.33; p = 0.002), RSA (SMD = -0.78; p = 0.01), and UME (SMD = 0.43; p = 0.01) versus placebo, with P scores ≥ 0.90 across these domains. In contrast, BA supplementation produced non-significant or context-specific effects, and combined Cr + BA showed no synergistic benefits. Agility and LME outcomes remained unaffected (p > 0.05). Heterogeneity ranged from low to moderate (I2 = 0-73%), with no global inconsistency or substantive publication bias.
CONCLUSION: Evidence indicates Cr supplementation alone yields the most consistent improvements in high-intensity and anaerobic performance by enhancing phosphocreatine recovery and neuromuscular output. BA’s buffering advantage appears task-specific and insufficient to augment Cr’s ergogenic efficacy. Co-supplementation of Cr and BA offers no additional advantage beyond Cr monotherapy. Standardized, long-term, multi-arm RCTs are warranted to further clarify potential interactive mechanisms and sex or sport-specific responses.

Maternal intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP) and postpartum maternal antibiotic usage are increasingly common and have been linked to altered growth and immune development in offspring. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects, particularly those arising from indirect early-life exposure to antibiotics, remain poorly understood. Here, using a preclinical murine model, we examined the impact of in vivo antepartum and postpartum maternal ampicillin administration on the maternal fecal microbiome and metabolome. Ampicillin treatment resulted in a significant depletion of bacterial species belonging to the Muribaculaceae family, including Muribaculum intestinale and Duncaniella dubosii, accompanied by a cohort-dependent enrichment of Enterococcus and Prevotella species. These microbial shifts coincided with substantial and reproducible metabolic remodeling, including elevated fecal acylcarnitines and altered bile acid profiles. Notably, we identified two previously uncharacterized trihydroxylated bile acids conjugated to a hexose moiety, which we annotated as cholic acid-galactose and taurocholic acid-galactose and synthesized. These metabolites were consistently associated with antibiotic exposure across public metabolomics data repositories. Finally, alterations in the maternal fecal microbiome and metabolome were associated with increased weight gain in offspring, suggesting potential pathways by which maternal antibiotic exposure may influence early developmental outcomes. These findings highlight microbial and metabolic signatures linked to perinatal antibiotic use and underscore the need to balance infection control with long-term infant health considerations.

Pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila MucT was found to improve barrier function in preclinical models and a proof-of-concept study in obese and prediabetic adults. Here, we describe the results of a double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter (Ireland and Germany) trial in 142 adults with metabolic syndrome, with or without prediabetes. The primary endpoint of whole-body insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index) did not differ after 4-months of daily administration of capsules containing 30 billion cells of pasteurized A. muciniphila MucT compared to placebo in the intention-to-treat subjects. Subsequent exploratory analyses showed that 3-months intake of pasteurized A. muciniphila MucT already improved HOMA-based hepatic insulin sensitivity in prediabetic (12%; p = 0.05) and 63-y-or-older-age subgroups (p = 0.05) while increasing post-OGTT excursion of the insulinotropic hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) over placebo (p < 0.01). Further analysis of the gut microbiota by deep metagenomic analysis showed minor effects of the intervention but revealed that the baseline microbial composition differed from that in matched healthy adults. We found that participants with low baseline Akkermansia gene counts experienced significant health improvements and GLP-1 excursion after 3-months of treatment with pasteurized A. muciniphila MucT over the placebo. These benefits included improved insulin sensitivity (as shown by Matsuda and HOMA-S indices) and GLP-1 excursion (post-OGTT) (p < 0.05), reductions in body weight (p = 0.06) and decreased trunk fat (p < 0.05). In conclusion, daily supplementation with pasteurized A. muciniphila MucT has the potential to improve health markers in overweight or obese normo- or dysglycemic adults with the most significant improvements in subjects with low baseline intestinal Akkermansia levels, who are apparently truly in need of this intervention.

BACKGROUND: Evidence for acute caffeine supplementation in swimming remains inconsistent across reviews, likely due to between-study heterogeneity and methodological differences.
METHODS: Five databases were searched for randomized placebo-controlled crossover trials exploring the effects of caffeine on swimming performance in competitive swimmers. Performance outcomes were pooled as standardized mean differences (SMD; Hedges’ g), with time outcomes sign-reversed so that positive values indicated improved performance. Dependence among multiple outcomes within studies was addressed using three-level random-effects models (REML). As a supplementary, interpretable metric, log ratios of means (lnRoM) were meta-analysed and expressed as percentage change. Post-exercise blood lactate (mmol/L) was pooled as mean differences (MD). Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2 and certainty of evidence using GRADE. Prespecified exploratory moderator analyses examined potential effect modification (dose, timing, distance, administration form, stroke, gender, and athlete level).
RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included (144 men and 48 women), which contributed 28 performance effect sizes. Caffeine improved swimming performance (SMD = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.94; p = 0.005), corresponding to a +1.71% improvement in lnRoM (95% CI: +1.01% to +2.41%; p < 0.001). Heterogeneity was substantial (I²total = 64.7%) and primarily between studies. Eight studies contributed 24 blood lactate effect sizes. In the meta-analysis, caffeine increased post-test lactate (MD = 0.85 mmol/L, 95% CI: 0.22 to 1.49; p = 0.016) with high heterogeneity (I²total = 76.5%). Exploratory moderator analyses suggested a possible dose-related pattern for swimming performance, with larger pooled effects at ≥6 mg/kg (SMD = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.52 to 1.38) than at <6 mg/kg (SMD = 0.22, 95% CI: -0.15 to 0.60; p difference = 0.017). Other performance moderators did not show clear between-subgroup differences. For lactate, exploratory subgroup analyses suggested larger increases in freestyle and short-distance events, although these patterns were more sensitive to modelling assumptions and should be interpreted cautiously.
CONCLUSION: Acute caffeine ingestion confers a moderate ergogenic benefit for swimming performance (SMD = 0.57, 1.7% improvement) and is associated with higher post-test blood lactate (MD = 0.85 mmol/L). Dose (≥6 mg/kg) may be associated with larger performance benefits, whereas lactate responses appear more pronounced in freestyle and shorter events. However, these subgroup findings are hypothesis-generating and require exploration.
