Those who inhabited this curious home had committed no sin. Some had even achieved merit and honour. Dante included Hippocrates, Avicenna, and Galen. Distinguished company.

Cristian Montenegro (2023-05-13). Perspectives] Mental health, by the masses and for the masses. thelancet.com In recent decades, the push for involving service users and community representatives in mental health research has rightly gained support.

When the criteria for selecting funding applications encompass participation and engagement, a structural need for standards to differentiate adequate from inadequate participatory designs emerges.

The US opioid epidemic, related to legal prescription drugs in a specific geopolitical context, has health outcomes which differ from those of cannabis or other drugs.

They also argue that there is "not sufficient evidence supporting that countries should further legalise cannabis or other drugs".

Paulo CRP Corrêa (2023-05-13).

However, only a few sentences later the authors downplay the importance of smoking: "risk factors unrelated to tobacco are increasingly responsible for the burden of COPD, and are likely to surpass the risk attributable to smoking within the next two decades".

Correspondence] The Lancet COPD Commission: broader questions remain — Authors' reply. thelancet.com We thank Paulo CRP Corrêa for his interest in the Commission1 and wholeheartedly agree that the absence of meaningful tobacco control is unacceptable and in no way aimed to diminish its importance. In addition, we take no issue with the assertion that continued smoking among people with established chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accounts for much of the disease burden. However, we think it is important to recognise that factors other than tobacco are increasingly accountable for incident cases of COPD, including e-cigarette use as Corrêa highlights.

The Lancet (2023-05-13). Editorial] The future of nursing: lessons from a pandemic. thelancet.com In early 2020, as part of a worldwide campaign to raise the profile of nursing, WHO, the International Council of Nurses (ICN), and Nursing Now published the first State of the World's Nursing report, setting out a global strategy for nursing. At the time, we highlighted how the report could inform policy dialogues and promote recognition of the potential of nursing to enable universal health coverage, and emphasised how crucial the subsequent years would be to show the impact of nursing. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven just how important these messages were.

Those who inhabited this curious home had committed no sin. Some had even achieved merit and honour. Dante included Hippocrates, Avicenna, and Galen. Distinguished company. But their lives were overshadowed by one omission—they were the unbaptised.

Cristian Montenegro (2023-05-13). Perspectives] Mental health, by the masses and for the masses. thelancet.com In recent decades, the push for involving service users and community representatives in mental health research has rightly gained support.

But there are unintended consequences of this. When the criteria for selecting funding applications encompass participation and engagement, a structural need for standards to differentiate adequate from inadequate participatory designs emerges.

Adrian P Mundt, Carlos Ibáñez (2023-05-13). Correspondence] Beyond the dichotomy of drug regulations and prohibitions. thelancet.com Based on observations around the US opioid crisis and cannabis legalisation in Uruguay, Kasia Malinowska-Sempruch and Diederik Lohman made a call to the public health community to challenge drug prohibition.1 It remains unspecified whether the call suggests legalising all drugs internationally or refers to advocating for evidence-based drug policy. The US opioid epidemic, related to legal prescription drugs in a specific geopolitical context, has health outcomes which differ from those of cannabis or other drugs.

Kasia Malinowska-Sempruch, Diederik Lohman (2023-05-13). Correspondence] Beyond the dichotomy of drug regulations and prohibitions — Authors' reply. thelancet.com In response to our Comment1 calling for a move from drug prohibition to regulation, Adrian Mundt and Carlos Ibáñez question whether a dichotomy between prohibition and regulation truly exists. They note that there are "forms of regulation that do not seem to contradict market prohibitions", including decriminalisation and regulation of opioid substitution therapies. They also argue that there is "not sufficient evidence supporting that countries should further legalise cannabis or other drugs".

Paulo CRP Corrêa (2023-05-13). Correspondence] The Lancet COPD Commission: broader questions remain. thelancet.com I have read with interest the comprehensive Commission on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by Daiana Stolz and colleagues.1 The authors report that "The most efficient way to reduce the burden of COPD is to ban cigarette smoking in all its forms." However, only a few sentences later the authors downplay the importance of smoking: "risk factors unrelated to tobacco are increasingly responsible for the burden of COPD, and are likely to surpass the risk attributable to smoking within the next two decades".

Mark T Dransfield, Daiana Stolz (2023-05-13). Correspondence] The Lancet COPD Commission: broader questions remain — Authors' reply. thelancet.com We thank Paulo CRP Corrêa for his interest in the Commission1 and wholeheartedly agree that the absence of meaningful tobacco control is unacceptable and in no way aimed to diminish its importance. In addition, we take no issue with the assertion that continued smoking among people with established chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) accounts for much of the disease burden. However, we think it is important to recognise that factors other than tobacco are increasingly accountable for incident cases of COPD, including e-cigarette use as Corrêa highlights.

Although we appreciate the authors' list of hypotheses for why children allocated to high-flow oxygen therapy had a prolonged length of stay, we believe there may be some other important explanations for this trial's finding.

jamanetwork (2023-05-09). High-Flow Nasal Oxygen vs Standard Oxygen Therapy and Length of Hospital Stay in Children With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply The Letter by Dr Hsu and colleagues provides further insight into the reasons why children who were randomized to high-flow nasal oxygen therapy had a longer length of hospital stay than children treated with standard oxygen therapy in our study. We agree with the Letter authors' comments, except that our study protocol provided no additional observation period after cessation of high-flow oxygen therapy, so this factor could not have substantially contributed to the results. We support the notion that there are excessive ICU admissions for infants with bronchiolitis. The PARIS-2 trial excluded infants w…

Yet we need only think of poets such as Homer and Wilfred Owen, and more recently Yehuda Amichai and Yusef Komunyakaa, to be reminded that the horrors of war have long been an archetypal subject of its urgent address. In "Rocket Strike on a Market," we see why this is so: poetry, perhaps, creates a kind of "order in the gulf/death imposes." Where there is chaos and destruction, the poet is witness, showing us the broken walls of a bombed market and the torn limbs of shoppers in its fragmented, jaggedly enjambed lines.

Pierre Ambrosi, Gilbert Habib (2023-05-06). Correspondence] Unanswered questions from the IRONMAN trial. thelancet.com There is currently no strong evidence that intravenous iron saves lives or decreases the incidence of hospitalisation in patients with heart failure. The demonstrated benefit in the IRONMAN1 and FAIR-HF2 trials is a functional improvement. This benefit must be weighed against the risks to the patient. Hypophosphataemia is common after intravenous iron.3 However, it is rarely symptomatic and only leads to muscle weakness and bone fracture in a minority of patients receiving repeated intravenous iron.

Ian Ford, Paul R Kalra (2023-05-06).

Ambrosi and Habib cast doubt on the morbidity and mortality benefits of intravenous iron in heart failure and commented on the potential risks of hypophosphataemia, allergic reaction, and infection. Although there is no current evidence that intravenous iron reduces the risk of death, there is good evidence that it reduces heart failure hospitalisation risk.1—3 We agree that any proposed treatment should be discussed with patients as part of shared decision making.

Correspondence] Surgical site infections: does one glove fit all? thelancet.com We congratulate the ChEETAh trial group on a well performed, highly relevant trial.1 However, we do not entirely agree with their conclusion. For power calculations, a 4% absolute difference in surgical site infections (SSIs) was considered minimally clinically important. Although highly statistically significant, the clinical relevance of the observed 2 ∑8% absolute reduction in SSIs is unclear. The number needed to treat (NNT) to avoid one SSI is 36, which might not justify the intervention. Most incisional SSIs are superficial2 and easily treated with bedside drainage, causing minimal morbidity.

Dhruva Ghosh, James Glasbey, Lawani Ismail, Antonio Ramos de la Medina, Aneel Bhangu (2023-05-06).

The absolute risk of surgical site infection (SSI) varies substantially from patient to patient and operation to operation, so considering the absolute effect size could lead to underestimation or overestimation of relative clinical effectiveness. Our interaction analysis showed no significant difference in effectiveness between key subgroups (eg, emergency vs elective, clean—contaminated vs co…

Niels-Derrek Schmitz, Liza Ovington, Jesse Berlin, Shumin Zhang, John Collier (2023-05-06). Correspondence] Optimal usage of antibacterial sutures for wound closure in clinical trials addressing SSI. thelancet.com The FALCON trial1 was a large-scale evaluation of two evidence-based interventions for the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) in clean-contaminated, or contaminated or dirty abdominal surgical wounds. These interventions were alcoholic chlorhexidine skin preparation and triclosan-coated sutures.

Adesoji Ademuyiwa, Dmitri Nepogodiev, Stephen Tabiri, Aneel Bhangu (2023-05-06). Correspondence] Optimal usage of antibacterial sutures for wound closure in clinical trials addressing SSI — Authors' response. thelancet.com We thank Niels-Derrek Schmitz and colleagues for their letter about the FALCON trial.1 In keeping with our hypothesis, we did not test triclosan-coated sutures for skin closure but we did test them for closure of the deep abdominal wall fascia. The deep fascia is where our network identified clinical equipoise and the highest likelihood of a clinically meaningful effect. Since we are unable to comment on the effectiveness of triclosan-coated skin sutures (which are a different product to that used to close the fascia), these could influence minor superficial infections, warranting further investigation.
