Letter Observational StudyMulti-organ abnormalities assessed by a single MRI scan in individuals with blood cancer.
During the COVID-19 pandemic individuals with all blood cancers were classified as clinically vulnerable and at high risk of complications and death. Our study sought to determine if individuals with specific blood cancers were at a heightened risk of longer term organ impairment, secondary to SARS-CoV-2 infection. ⋯ A multi-organ MRI platform offers the capacity to accurately evaluate organ health dynamically in blood cancers and detect asymptomatic organ impairment. The application of multi-organ MRI could aid early detection and longitudinal monitoring of organ impairment, potentially guiding more personalised treatment strategies and improving clinical outcomes in many rare diseases.

A group-based intervention for diabetes-related emotional distress among emerging adults with type 1 diabetes: A pilot study.
To assess diabetes-related emotional distress (DD) in emerging adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and assess a group-based intervention's impact. ⋯ This pilot study demonstrated that 25 % of the investigated emerging adults with T1D experienced DD (PAID-20≥30) associated with four clinical factors. We found a reduction in HbA1c and a short-term reduction in PAID-20 following the group-based intervention.
