Gradient-driven microfluidic framework for the screening of ratiometric drug combinations towards precision oncology in paediatric leukaemia

GradientScreen tested overlapping drug ratios and found efficacy and synergy linked to MRD and outcomes.

Key takeaways
  • GradientScreen tested drug combinations in childhood leukaemia samples.
  • Drug-combination results were linked to residual disease and outcomes.
  • These observational findings do not establish improved treatment outcomes.

Traditional Chinese medicine constitution-related body-composition phenotypes and one-year metabolic changes: a repeated health-examination study

Repeated exams found Yang‑deficiency and phlegm‑dampness had lower muscle and higher total and visceral fat.

Key takeaways
  • Yang‑deficiency and phlegm‑dampness were associated with lower muscle mass.
  • Per‑SD rises in total and visceral fat were linked to metabolic clustering.
  • Observed adiposity changes paralleled BMI change and are not causal proof.

AIEffects of Baduanjin-based Treatment on Exercise Endurance, Emotion and Sleep in Elderly Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systemati

Effects of Baduanjin-based Treatment on Exercise Endurance, Emotion and Sleep in Elderly Patients with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

A review linked Baduanjin exercise to better walking capacity and mood in older adults with stable COPD, with substantial study differences.

Key takeaways
  • Nine controlled studies involving 897 participants were included.
  • Pooled findings favoured walking capacity, anxiety and depression outcomes.
  • Studies differed substantially, and only two assessed sleep outcomes.
