So proud of the work/talk, given by some members of my team which also included the amazing third year medics doing a project with us, at IPHIR 2024 yesterday. They established beautifully that it is the maternal venous return from the placenta, not fetal capillaries, that contributed to the measured delayed oxygen transfer to the baby in high risk of stillbirth group. There were no physiological/placental structural difference between the different race groups studied so far and postulated on intersectional disparities highlighting the importance of the consideration of background data of patients in understanding and informing maternal medicine.  Paper coming soon!

Lack of involvement becomes a condition for older patients in the discharge from hospital to home, and for some patients, it affects their everyday lives. Read more about why the older patient's relatives become important in the transition from hospital to home and why the older patient feels lost in transition in our new paper –link to open access below. Thanks to my co-authors Eilertsen Grethe, Karen Andersen-Ranberg, Astrid Janssens, and Dorthe Nielsen for your collaboration on this paper, which reports the findings from the first study of my PhD project. Thanks to all the participants who contributed to the data collection -patients, relatives and healthcare professionals.

**Exploring the Future of Precision Medicine with Dr. Mark Kristiansen ** This is a secret I have kept for a while 👀👀👀 I had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Mark Kristiansen, the Head of Genomics at the Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Disease in Children (ZCR), UCL half a year ago, during which we delved into the future of precision medicine, its challenges, and how we can address them. In our discussion, Dr. Kristiansen emphasized the importance of public engagement in personalized medicine - the need for transparency and openness in scientific work, which is embodied in the 'fish tank' design of the ZCR lab. He also touched on the challenges posed by the diverse nature of personalized medicine and the danger of false information, stressing the importance of truthful communication to maintain public trust and the need for a tailored education strategy in different contexts. Lastly, he underscored the role of healthcare providers in informing patients about novel therapies and the need for government involvement in integrating personalized medicine into traditional clinical trials and approval systems. Nevertheless, we both agreed that the future of personalised medicine is optimistic, but the road to a better future is always an uphill climb. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Mark Kristiansen for his insightful thoughts and to the editor for making this article possible.

Words matter: Reframing neurodivergence in science, medicine and society! How we write and think about neurodiversity can have a profound effect on people’s lives; Authors, Editors and Publishers can play a powerful role in changing these negative perceptions by the intentional use of affirming, compassionate language and by being allies to the many neurodivergent colleagues we work with and interact with. This thought provoking webinar from Cell Press and Lancet has a powerful message on this topic and offers great insights from these expert panelists!! https://lnkd.in/exbKpti9 The Lancet Elsevier Elsevier Health Education Elsevier Nursing & Health Education and health

💡 A new theory article published in the latest May/June 2024 issue presents a case example from the University of Minnesota Medical School, where the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health created a shared vision of harmonized missions. The article highlights the department’s specific strategies for harmonizing the academic missions of care, education, and research, such as creating a harmonization group and applying simple rules for mission alignment. This approach improved faculty well-being and increased scholarly output, providing a model for a learning and adaptive health system. ➡ Read the full theory article here: https://lnkd.in/eKQSPWwa 👥 Authors: C.
