In an Editorial,1 the editors raise important concerns about the effect of commercial factors on health. However, the Editorial failed to acknowledge the crucial role of intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical industry. Although it might be true that some pharmaceutical companies prioritise profits over the needs of humanity, without intellectual property protections,2 innovation and investment in research and development would be severely hindered. A delicate balance needs to be maintained between incentivising innovation and ensuring that medicines are accessible and affordable to those who need them…

Since its independence in 1956, Tunisia has advanced the rights of women, including the right and opportunity to control their fertility. So it is no surprise that it was a Tunisian woman, Tawhida Ben Cheikh (1909—2010), who became the first Muslim woman in north Africa and the Middle East to qualify as a physician and promote family planning. Yet she achieved her medical qualification while Tunisia was still under French colonial rule and the legal position of women was defined by traditional Islamic codes.

This is the second film by Al-Kateab, after the multi-award winning For Sama, a deeply harrowing documentary that chronicled Al-Kateab's experiences through the horrors of life under siege in Aleppo, Syria, and her hopes after the birth of her daughter Sama. We Dare to Dream begins with Al-Kateab's own story of becoming a refugee and her emotional journey after she left war-torn Aleppo.

The introduction of antipsychotics in the 1950s was a milestone in the management of schizophrenia, but since the development of groundbreaking medications such as chlorpromazine and, later, clozapine, the pharmacotherapeutic landscape has remained disappointingly static. In this issue of The Lancet, we publish a phase 3 trial of KarXT, a muscarinic receptor agonist, which significantly reduced acute psychotic symptoms in people with schizophrenia. Although there is much enthusiasm over a positive trial of a novel antipsychotic, does it herald a new era in the treatment of people with schizophrenia?
