    Abstract Designing for people’s health and well-being is one important purpose for landscape design in healthcare environments. The concept of therapeutic landscapes has been applied widely in various healthcare settings. This research extends the concept of therapeutic landscapes in ordinary everyday context and explores the role of gardens in Australian aged-care facilities. Fieldwork shows aged-care residents reclaim the outdoor environment by actively shaping the landscape to create special meanings and embed memories in characterising their current living space. Findings suggest broadening the current understandings of therapeutic landscapes to incorporate residents’ vernacular healing landscapes. This paper addresses a gap in existing literature and introduces the importance of vernacular healing landscapes in aged-care facilities for its holistic reflection of older people’s landscape experiences and connection with residents' memories, which positively contributes to their health and wellbeing. It argues for future design to value and incorporate residents' vernacular healing landscapes in aged-care gardens.

    Abstract Objective: Warning signs can help prevent suicide attempts and death. It is important to develop an evidence base for warning signs that considers both self-perspectives (i.e., those at risk for suicide) and informant-perspectives (i.e., those who observe individuals at risk for suicide).
    Methods: A questionnaire assessing a diverse set of 80 potential warning signs ("present in the minutes, hours, or days before the suicide attempts") was developed based on literature searches, lived experience consultations, and the American Association of Suicidology (AAS) expert consensus list. This questionnaire was administered to two samples: psychiatric inpatients who had attempted suicide (n = 476), and informants identified as friends, family, or caretakers of patients (n = 120).
    Results: Hopelessness, anxiousness, and unbearable pain were each endorsed as warning signs by >80% of inpatients and informants. Warning signs were similar across patient and informant perspectives, and across sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Some AAS warning signs were endorsed by few patients and informants (risky behaviors, alcohol or drug use, seeking revenge) and may warrant re-evaluation.
    Conclusions: Findings are consistent with models of suicide risk emphasizing pain, hopelessness, and anxiousness. Existing lists of warning signs may benefit from revision as the evidence base continues to develop.

    Abstract Objective: To assess for the presence of positive outcome bias in the otolaryngology clinical trial literature. Specifically, we investigate the prevalence of clinical trials with positive findings (CTP) and clinical trials with negative findings (CTN), as well as their quality of evidence and subsequent impact.
    Study design: Retrospective analysis.
    Setting: Clinical Trials in the Influential Otolaryngology Literature.
    Methods: We reviewed all clinical trials published in 4 major otolaryngology journals between 2000 and 2020. We constructed several multivariable regression models to investigate the relationship of finding direction with randomization status and citation count. Subsequently, we incorporated an interaction term between year and the primary covariate of each model to assess the temporal trajectory of these relationships. All models accounted for sample size, journal, subspecialty, and the affiliated program prestige.
    Results: Of the 1367 trials analyzed, 1143 (84%) were CTPs, a rate that persisted throughout the study period (aOR 1.00, 95% CI 0.98-1.03). CTPs were significantly less likely to be randomized compared to CTNs (aOR 0.25, 0.17-0.37), a relationship that persisted over time (aOR 1.05, 0.99-1.03). CTPs received significantly more citations compared to CTNs (aIRR 1.41, 1.25-1.60), a disparity that also persisted over time (aIRR 0.99, 0.97-1.01).
    Conclusion: The otolaryngology clinical trial literature has been heavily dominated by positive findings. CTPs were more frequently cited and published even with a lower level of evidence compared to CTNs. This bias may influence the objectivity of evidence used to guide clinical practice and warrants attention when reviewing findings and changing practices.

    Abstract The discovery in 1987/1988 and 1990 of the cell surface receptor KIT and its ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), was a critical achievement in efforts to understand the development and function of multiple distinct cell lineages. These include hematopoietic progenitors, melanocytes, germ cells, and mast cells, which all are significantly affected by loss-of-function mutations of KIT or SCF. Such mutations also influence the development and/or function of additional cells, including those in parts of the central nervous system and the interstitial cells of Cajal (which control gut motility). Many other cells can express KIT constitutively or during immune responses, including dendritic cells, eosinophils, type 2 innate lymphoid cells, and taste cells. Yet the biological importance of KIT in many of these cell types largely remains to be determined. We here review the history of work investigating mice with mutations affecting the white spotting locus (which encodes KIT) or the steel locus (which encodes SCF), focusing especially on the influence of such mutations on mast cells. We also briefly review efforts to target the KIT/SCF pathway with anti-SCF or anti-Kit antibodies in mouse models of allergic disorders, parasite immunity, or fibrosis in which mast cells are thought to play significant roles.
