Health Systems Research

Mercury Pharmaceuticals

Increasing and changing demands concerning the health of populations and limited resources require our health care organizations and systems to rethink their sustainability. To achieve objectives, such as improved healthcare quality, health outcomes, efficiency and staff satisfaction, we support our clients in making evidence-based decisions. With tailor-made research projects, we provide insights into what works, for whom, at what cost, and under what circumstances. Based on your challenge, we can support you by:

  • Translating your challenge in a problem statement and evaluation design;
  • Providing you with state-of-the-art insights and identifying where you can make a difference;
  • Assessing the feasibility and value of your intervention or strategy;
  • Assessing its implementation fidelity;
  • Making evidence-based and practical recommendations;
  • Present the findings to peer-reviewed journals and conferences.

MERCURY trials

Clinical trials are very important as it allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs, new devices, preventative strategies or treatment strategies. It also enables us to discover better ways for patients' care.

Scientists traced a hidden immune route that may worsen tau-linked brain damage

In a mouse model of tauopathy, conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1s) cross-presented brain-derived antigens in deep cervical lymph nodes, priming CD8+ T cells that accumulated in the brain and promoted neurodegeneration. Disrupting cDC1s or their cross-presentation activity reduced CD8+ T-cell infiltration and protected against neuronal loss, while human primary tauopathy samples also showed increased brain CD8+ T cells, although cDC1 involvement in humans remains unconfirmed.

GLP-1 drugs appear psychiatrically safe, but one finding still raises questions

A systematic review of 11 observational studies representing more than 4.9 million patients found that GLP-1 receptor agonists were generally associated with neutral or potentially protective psychiatric outcomes, although one obesity-focused cohort reported increased risks of depression, anxiety, and suicidal behavior. Direct evidence for antidepressant effects remains limited, with only one cross-sectional study using validated mood scales and no randomized trials in the final synthesis, meaning causality cannot be established

Laughter therapy eases breathlessness in people with COPD

A clinical trial for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) shows that laughter therapy can reduce breathing difficulties and is as effective as more traditional breathing exercises. The research is presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
