Summary: Blister-Actuated Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (BA-LIFT) is a modified LIFT process that prevents direct interaction between the laser pulse and the transfer fluid. New images have been acquired in this study to evaluate the appearance of a mechanically induced cavitation bubble due to the depressurization of the fluid in front of the polyimide blister.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of remote versus face-to-face home-based exercise programmes on clinical outcomes and treatment adherence of people with ALS. A total of 44 ALS patients will be randomly assigned to either the remote monitoring group or the face-to-face monitoring group, and the effects of the exercise programme on functional capacity, disease severity, fatigue, pain, adverse events, and adherence rate will be assessed.

Summary: Pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing is increasingly used in clinics and the commercial industry, but not all tests have consistent standards for translating results into prescribing recommendations. Sequence2Script is a web-based tool designed to assist users in efficiently translating PGx testing results into evidence-based prescribing recommendations. This tool supports 97 gene-drug pairs and allows users to adjust recommendations, generating a clinical report summarizing patient genotype and prescribing recommendations. The hope is that Sequence2Script will help standardize the use of PGx testing results and reduce barriers to implementation in practice.

Summary: The science on public mask wearing to prevent COVID-19 transmission is rapidly evolving. Evidence suggests that wearing masks reduces the transmission of infected respiratory particles, especially when compliance is high. It is recommended to promote widespread use of face masks in public settings, along with existing hygiene practices, social distancing, and contact tracing strategies.
