Background: The outlook for patients with esophageal and gastric (EG) cancer remains poor. Hence, there is a compelling need to identify novel treatment strategies and complementary biomarkers. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) are putative biomarkers of response to immune-checkpoint blockade, but their prognostic value and interrelationship in EG cancer have

120 kristna mördades, 128 kidnappades, det genomförde 146 attacker mot kyrkor och 700 kristna familjer tvingades fly sina hem under 2013. Detta var priset för att Muslimska Brödraskapet utövade makten i Egypten under ett år. Ett högt pris för kristna i Egypten men kan inte jämföras med andra länder i regionen.

Background: The relationship between schizophrenia and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has already been established. This study aims to investigate the difference in length of in-hospital stay (LoS) between a population with schizophrenia and a psychiatric healthy control (PHC) population following admission for a first ACS. Methods: Data for this retrospective study was collected from three nation

Introduction: Prehospital and hospital emergency care guidelines have been developed for patients with suspected hip fracture. Initial radiography can identify a number of patients with other injuries, generally pelvic fractures and hip contusions. Little is known about the prognosis for these patients. The aim of this study is twofold: i) to investigate the injury pattern of patients assessed in

We introduce the Szegő class, Sz(E), for an arbitrary Parreau–Widom set E ⊂ ℝ and study the dynamics of its elements under the left shift. When the direct Cauchy theorem holds on ℂ\E, we show that to each J ∈ Sz(E) there is a unique element J′ in the isospectral torus, T E , so that the left-shifts of J are asymptotic to the orbit {J′ m } on T E . Moreover, we show that the ratio of the associ

Melanoma of the skin is the sixth most common type of cancer in Europe and accounts for 3.4% of all diagnosed cancers. More alarming is the degree of recurrence that occurs with approximately 20% of patients lethally relapsing following treatment. Malignant melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer and metastases rapidly extend to the regional lymph nodes (stage 3) and to distal organs (stage 4)

BACKGROUND: Individuals with mental health problems often need support from vocational rehabilitation professionals in their return-To-work (RTW) process. Research has shown that this support can be deficient, with vocational rehabilitation professionals lacking relevant knowledge and an underlying belief in the individual's ability to resume a working life. More understanding is therefore needed

Cognitive impairments (CI), associated with the consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, are increasingly prevalent among older adults, leading to deterioration in self-care, mobility, and interpersonal relationships among them. Innovative Assistive Technologies (IAT) such as electronic reminders and surveillance systems are considered as increasingly important tools to facilitate

The aqueous behaviour of the anionic octa-tetramethylammonium substituted cubic silsesquioxane, [N(CH 3 ) 4 ] 8 [Si 8 O 20 ], was studied with quantitative 29 Si-NMR. This molecule partially fragments in aqueous solutions, forming several smaller entities. The most abundant silica species are the monomer, dimer, cyclic trimer, cyclic tetramer and double three-ring. Higher concentrations are

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore if a ringing cell phone could impact cognitive performance as well as being agitating to provoke aggressive reactions. The study investigated variables that could impact a participant’s willingness to aggress and retaliate, such as sensitivity to arousal and dark personalities (DRPs), Machiavellianism, narcissism, and subclinical psychopathy and sad

Background: Sleep macrostructure is commonly disturbed after surgery. Postoperative pain control remains challenging. Given the bidirectional interaction between sleep and pain, understanding the role of modulation of sleep during the perioperative period on postoperative pain is needed. Methods: This was a systematic review. Controlled trials examining the effects of perioperative sleep-promoting

Billions of animals migrate between breeding and non-breeding areas worldwide. Partial migration, where both migrants and residents coexist within a population, occurs in most animal taxa, including fish, insects, birds and mammals. Partial migration has been hypothesised to be the most common form of migration and to be an evolutionary precursor to full migration. Despite extensive theoretical mo

This work concerns the importance of intermolecular interactions present in aqueous lipid assembly systems depending on the type of aggregates they form. We have studied aqueous mixtures of diglycerol monooleate, Capmul glycerol monoleate (GMO-50) and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (Polysorbate 80, P80) using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements to reveal the structure of liq
