    Abstract Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) were introduced in modern toxicology to provide evidence-based representations of the events and processes involved in the progression of toxicological effects across varying levels of the biological organisation to better facilitate the safety assessment of chemicals. AOPs offer an opportunity to address knowledge gaps and help to identify novel therapeutic targets. They also aid in the selection and development of existing and new in vitro and in silico test methods for hazard identification and risk assessment of chemical compounds. However, many toxicological processes are too intricate to be captured in a single, linear AOP. As a result, AOP networks have been developed to aid in the comprehension and placement of associated events underlying the emergence of related forms of toxicity-where complex exposure scenarios and interactions may influence the ultimate adverse outcome. This study utilised established criteria to develop an AOP network that connects thirteen individual AOPs associated with nephrotoxicity (as sourced from the AOP-Wiki) to identify several key events (KEs) linked to various adverse outcomes, including kidney failure and chronic kidney disease. Analysis of the modelled AOP network and its topological features determined mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and tubular necrosis to be the most connected and central KEs. These KEs can provide a logical foundation for guiding the selection and creation of in vitro assays and in silico tools to substitute for animal-based in vivo experiments in the prediction and assessment of chemical-induced nephrotoxicity in human health.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, policymakers have increasingly used behaviourally informed policies, including 'nudges'. They have been implemented to produce desirable social outcomes such as healthier eating and physical activity. In Germany, a small research team at the Federal Chancellery acts as the central unit to promote the introduction of nudges in the design of public life. Despite this, the nudging concept itself as well as the understanding around it has not spread widely among German citizens. When reporting about the concept, German media is often very critical of the concept.
    Methods: Using a for age, sex and educational level nationally representative online survey with 1000 participants, we investigate whether German citizens know about the concept of nudging. We also explore if they approve of the theoretical concept as well as a list of seven specific interventions regarding healthy eating and physical activity. A particular focus is placed on whether the level of approval is dependent on the target group of the intervention, as well as different intervention-initiators.
    Results: We find that nearly 80% of the respondents have never heard of nudging. However when being provided with a definition, we find that a strong majority (90%) supports the concept of nudging as well as all the specific interventions. Acceptance rates are higher if interventions are targeted at the general population compared to only children. All initiators - statutory health insurers, the government, private companies, and independent experts - are accepted as nudge initiators.
    Conclusion: Amongst Germans nudges are an accepted method to promote health behaviours. Policy makers from various fields in Germany should take that into account to improve future health policy.

    Abstract Over the past decade, many health care systems across the Global North have implemented elements of market mechanisms while also dealing with the consequences of the financial crisis. Although effects of these two developments have been researched separately, their combined impact on the governance of health care organizations has received less attention. The aim of this study is to understand how health care reforms and the financial crisis together shaped new roles and interactions within health care. The Netherlands - where dynamics between health care organizations and their financial stakeholders (i.e., banks and health insurers) were particularly impacted - provides an illustrative case. Through semi-structured interviews, additional document analysis and insights from institutional change theory, we show how banks intensified relationship management, increased demands on loan applications and shifted financial risks onto health care organizations, while health insurers tightened up their monitoring and accountability practices towards health care organizations. In return, health care organizations were urged to rearrange their operations and become more risk-minded. They became increasingly dependent on banks and health insurers for their existence. Moreover, with this study, we show how institutional arenas come about through both the long-term efforts of institutional agents and unpredictable implications of economic and societal crises.

    Abstract Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of total hip arthroplasty procedures in the younger patient population. This active group has higher expectations of their prosthesis in comparison to the older population, and there is a greater physical demand for the prosthesis. Short femoral stems were introduced to retain proximal bone stock and joint biomechanics and became more common to implant in this specific population. Currently, the long-term survival and functional outcomes of various short stems are still being investigated in different clinics.
    Aim: To determine the 5-year survival of the Optimys hip stem.
    Methods: This was a prospective multicenter cohort study of 500 patients conducted in two hospitals in the Netherlands. All patients received the Optimys short stem (Mathys Ltd, Bettlach, Switzerland). The primary outcome measure was survival of the hip stem, with revision as the endpoint. The secondary outcome measurements included patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to calculate the 5-year survival rate. Log-minus-log transformation was performed to calculate the 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Mixed model analyses were performed to assess the course of the PROMs during the 1
    Results: The mean age of the total 500 patients was 62.3 years (standard deviation: 10.6) and 202 were male (40%). At a median follow-up of 5.5 years (interquartile range: 4.5-6.7), 7 patients were deceased and 6 revisions were registered, for infection (
    Conclusion: The Optimys stem has a 5-year survival of 98.8%. Patient-reported outcome measures increased significantly in the 1

    Abstract Studying fetal hematopoiesis is challenging as hematopoiesis transitions from the liver to bone marrow. Obtaining human samples is not possible, and small animal models may not provide sufficient biological material. Here, we present a protocol for isolating hematopoietic cells from the nonhuman primate fetal liver and bone. We describe steps for using cells from the same fetus for fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to measure metabolism, assessing cellular function, and flow cytometry for immunophenotyping at the single-cell level. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Nash et al. (2023).

    Abstract Introduction: Minimally important differences (MIDs) for common outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation are well documented for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is not known whether MIDs differ based on COPD disease characteristics. This study aimed to estimate MIDs for clinical outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation dependent upon baseline characteristics.
    Methods: A database containing 2791 people with COPD was split into derivation (n=2245; age 66±9 years; 50% males; FEV
    Results: MID estimates were comparable to previously reported values. MIDs for SGRQ domains (Symptom=8.7 points, Activity=7.1 points, Impact=8.1 points) and FFMI were produced (0.36kg/m
    Discussion: Findings suggest that baseline presentation should be considered for people with COPD when assessing the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation. However, clinical significance of the variation underpinning MIDs is yet to be determined.
