Cuproptosis-related lncRNAs and genes: Potential markers for glioblastoma prognosis and treatment. by Yajia Chen, Jingxian Zhang, Weiqian Zheng, Hongwu Xu

“…Furthermore, to verify whether these CRLs and CRGs are associated with GBM cuproptosis, cuproptosis cell models were constucted in GBM cell lines and astrocyte by using Elesclomol and CuCl2. It was found that the expression of high-risk CRLs and CRGs was decreased upon cuproptosis-induced in GBM cells. …”

Decisions about the use of psychotropic medication during pregnancy: a qualitative study by Irene Petersen, Vanessa Pinfold, Sarah Hamilton, Fiona Stevenson, Charlotte Walker, Ceri R J Dare, Harminder Kaur, Ruth Lambley, Paulina Szymczynska, Vicky Nicolls

“…Recruitment to the study was via peer networks and the women interviewed came from different regions of England.Setting Interviews were arranged in places where women felt comfortable and that accommodated their childcare needs including their home, local library and the research office.Results The views expressed demonstrated complex attempts to engage with decision-making about the use of psychotropic medicines in pregnancy. In nearly all cases, the women expressed the view that healthcare professionals had access to limited information leaving women to rely on experiential and common sense evidence when making decisions about medicine taking during pregnancy.Conclusions The findings complement existing work using electronic health records by providing explanations for the discontinuation of psychotropic medicines in pregnancy. …”
