BACKGROUND: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a precursor of multiple myeloma (MM) and related conditions. In previous registry-based, retrospective studies, autoimmune diseases have been associated with MGUS. However, these studies were not based on a screened population and are therefore prone to ascertainment bias.OBJECTIVE: To examine whether MGUS is associated with
BACKGROUND: Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) are asymptomatic precursor conditions to multiple myeloma and related disorders. Smoldering multiple myeloma is distinguished from MGUS by 10% or greater bone marrow plasma cells (BMPC) on sampling, has a higher risk for progression, and requires specialist management.OBJECTIVE: To develop a

This paper explores the evolving landscape of regional innovation policy, focusing on the interplay between traditional cluster policies and emerging transformative agendas.

Universities are expected to play a proactive role in the sustainable development andtransformation of their regions. However, they face external and internal barriers toplay that role. One possible approach to overcome those barriers is through trans-formative academic institutions (TAIs). TAIs are defined as research centres createdwithin universities to proactively engage in territorial develop
Government policies increasingly focus on transformative innovation policy (TIP), as programmes are being reoriented towards addressing societal challenges and contributing to sustainability transitions.
