Any help with 28 and 35 across please?

28 is thematically affected. Think of 'a ..... of trumpets'. Sorry, I'm struggling for hints.
35 - a common two-letter abbrev for 'nurse, two letters for 'data processing' and I'm not sure how the last three letters work.
Hope this is of some help.

Thanks Malone - that gives me something to work on.

Malone ... the last 3 letters of 35a can also mean station.

Could I get help please with:
Is the "architect" at the crossing of 34d and 38a?
Still stuck on 28a..
32a French mathematician senator Newton found in lake ... I have
???S??N?

Kirky,
Yes, Architect is there.
28a has 9 etters in the def. inc. 4 from the surname of a topper (Doctor).
The mathematician is famous for a sequence of prime numbers.

Thanks muraria ... a great help... I had the senn bit of the mathematician but was convinced there was one of the 15 in there somewhere!
Will press on with the rest! I may be back.......

Short of a few of the 15....where are these please?
"cells"... "circuity" no idea who either of these is
"us soldier" (I know who this is but still can't place them)

25d Frightened gumshoe made a mistake ...possibly ending in erred?
45a Japanese youth's missing home game control ...possibly starts JO... but joystick is too long?

25 is totally normal - a three-letter abbreviation, followed by 'erred'.

45 Something similar to Joystick, just slightly shorter - the end of 25 D might help.
