Summary: People living with rare diseases still face unmet needs due to insufficient care systems and lack of rare disease knowledge among healthcare workforce. Rare disease education and training should be rethought to engage and empower patients and develop a coherent strategy. Multiple stakeholders, including universities, professional organizations, and patient groups, should be involved in developing and implementing this strategy.

Summary: The study measured changes in pricing and food availability in stores on the Navajo Nation following the implementation of the HDNA in 2014. The findings suggest modest improvements in the Navajo store environment with high availability of fruits and vegetables in 2019. While more Navajo stores offered mutton, blue corn, and wild plants compared to 2013, these changes were not statistically significant.

Summary: Loss aversion is a cognitive bias that affects house price determination, and a time-varying hedonic regression method can provide a more accurate estimation of its effects compared to conventional methods. By applying this method to residential transactions data from Auckland, New Zealand, it was found that loss aversion significantly inflates transaction prices. Existing methods, on the other hand, yield imprecise estimates of this premium that are unreasonably large and sensitive to the selected sample period.

Summary: Fuel prices are perceived as excessively high, leading to demands for stricter regulations from consumers. The impact of fuel price regulations on overall price levels remains unclear. Austria's Fuel Price Fixing Act has effectively lowered gasoline prices, but more refinements may be needed to tackle diesel prices effectively.

Summary: The study found that the Platts iron ore price is the primary contributor to price spillovers and highly correlated with China's steel stock prices; scrap steel, seaborne transportation, and carbon emission prices have relatively low impact on price spillovers and moderate connection with China's steel stock prices; the time-varying price spillovers and links are sensitive to economic shocks such as China's policy implementation and the spread of coronavirus.

Summary: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause sleep disturbances, and addressing these problems can have noticeable benefits, such as reducing the expression of inflammatory genes and alleviating other issues related to brain injury. However, the current evidence for interventions is limited, and further research is recommended.

Summary: Symptom-based disorders are common conditions that mainly manifest with somatic symptoms rather than observable signs. They often result in greater disability compared to diseases with prominent signs. In some cases, these disorders can be triggered by infection or physical/psychological trauma.

Summary: The study found that the information spillover effect among gold, oil, and BRICS geopolitical risks is more significant in the short term, mainly due to short-term spillover effects. Specifically, the oil market has a strong spillover relationship with the gold market, while China's geopolitical risks have the greatest impact on financial, oil, and other countries' geopolitical risks.

Summary: Depression is a major contributor to global mental health burden, primarily due to its high prevalence and comorbidity with other disorders. Its treatment is complex due to pharmacological interactions and the slow response to current antidepressant treatments. This study suggests that trazodone, with its unique characteristics, may be a valuable strategy for addressing the unmet needs in depression treatment.

Summary: Current clinical trials for GSDs including achondroplasia, osteopetrosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, hypophosphataemic rickets, hypophosphatasia, and fibrous ossificans progressiva are discussed. Challenges in GSD drug development, such as clinician input, cost-effectiveness, and evidence-based practice, are explored. The review also looks at opportunities brought by earlier diagnosis, treatment impact, and the challenges of gene editing, while horizon scanning for future clinical trials.
