RATIONALE: There is no consensus on criteria to include in an asthma remission definition in real-life. Factors associated with achieving remission post-biologic-initiation remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To quantify the proportion of adults with severe asthma achieving multi-domain-defined remission post-biologic-initiation and identify pre-biologic characteristics associated with achieving remission which may be used to predict it. METHODS: This was a longitudinal cohort study using data from 23 countries from the International Severe Asthma Registry...

INTRODUCTION: Resistant ovary syndrome (ROS) represents a rare reproductive endocrine disorder that is predominantly associated with infertility, characterized by heightened endogenous gonadotropin levels in the presence of a normal ovarian reserve. Patients with ROS typically exhibit a poor response to exogenous gonadotropins during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). Due to the absence of a universally accepted effective COS protocol, this study aims to contribute to the existing body of literature by detailing 2 successful pregnancies achieved through conventional in vitro fertilization (c-IVF) in patients with ROS, and through retrospective analysis, seeks to elucidate the factors contributing to the successful ovarian stimulation in these cases, with the ultimate goal of establishing clinical guidelines for ROS management...

This paper presents an innovative T/Y-maze-based wireless power transmission (WPT) system designed to monitor spatial reference memory and learning behavior in freely moving rats. The system facilitates uninterrupted optical/electrical stimulation and neural recording experiments through the integration of wireless headstages or implants in T/Y maze setups. Utilizing an array of resonators covering the entire underneath of the mazes, the wireless platform ensures scalability with various configurations. The array is designed to ensure a natural localization mechanism to localize the Tx power toward the location of the Rx coil...

Intraventricular tumors of the lateral and third ventricles are relatively rare, accounting for 1-2% of all primary brain tumors in most large series [1-4]. They can be uniquely challenging to approach due to their deep location, propensity to become large before they are discovered, and association with hydrocephalus [5, 6]. The surgeon's goal is to develop a route to these deep lesions that will cause the least morbidity, provide adequate working space, and achieve a complete resection. This must be performed with minimal manipulation of the neural structures encircling the ventricles, avoiding functional cortical areas, and acquiring early control of feeding vessels [7, 8]...

To preserve the bladder without compromising survival, further treatments need to be optimized to prevent the recurrence and progression of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. In clinical practice, transurethral resection of bladder tumors is essential for bladder cancer management. The primary goal of surgery is to achieve accurate pathological evaluation and complete resection of bladder cancer; high resection quality is required for the procedure. A representative surrogate indicator of the resection quality is the presence of the detrusor muscle in the resection specimen...

Background : Drug development in cancer medicine depends on high-quality clinical trials, but these require large investments of time to design, operationalize, and complete; for oncology drugs, this can take 8-10 years. Long timelines are expensive and delay innovative therapies from reaching patients. Delays often arise from study startup, a process that can take 6 months or more. We assessed how study-specific factors affected the study startup duration and the resulting overall success of the study. Method: Data from The University of Kansas Cancer Center (KUCC) were used to analyze studies initiated from 2018 to 2022...

The conversions of carbon resources, such as alcohols, aldehydes/ketones, and ethers, have been being one of the hottest topics most recently for the goal of carbon neutralization. The emerging electrocatalytic upgrading has been regarded as a promising strategy aiming to convert carbon resources into value-added chemicals. Although exciting progress has been made and reviewed recently in this area by mostly focusing on the explorations of valuable anodic oxidation or cathodic reduction reactions individually, however, the reaction rules of these reactions are still missing, and how to purposely find or rationally design novel but efficient reactions in batches is still challenging...

BACKGROUND: Analyzing the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of pediatric tuberculosis in endemic regions is crucial to meet the goal of ending tuberculosis. The objective was to assess the various clinical scenarios of tuberculosis in a large pediatric cohort in Mexico. METHODS: This retrospective study from a pediatric referral center in Mexico included patients diagnosed with tuberculosis from 2012 to 2021. We analyzed clinical data and diagnostic study results, including demographic characteristics, underlying medical conditions, BCG vaccination, clinical presentation, imaging findings, microbiologic data, treatment, and clinical outcomes...

Electricity supply in European countries faces a number of challenges, such as achieving carbon neutrality, tackling rising prices, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, including fossil fuel imports. To achieve these goals, the electricity systems of all European countries will have to undergo major changes, while taking into account technical, environmental, economic and social objectives. Our simulations provide essential data for this transition by analyzing different power plant portfolios and electricity consumption scenarios...

Multiple myeloma (MM), marked by abnormal proliferation of plasma cells and production of monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy or light chains in the majority of patients, has traditionally been associated with poor survival, despite improvements achieved in median survival in all age groups since the introduction of novel agents. Survival has significantly improved with the development of new drugs and new treatment options, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T), which have shown promise and given new hope in MM therapy...

When contributors' goals and legislative and political structures vary, as they often do in the case of worldwide fish populations, it becomes more challenging to implement ethical fishing tactics. Canada, the United States, and Mexico all fish from Pacific regions anchovies in the California Modern. Climate-driven numbers and geographic dynamics may pollute the waters of collaborative aquaculture and lead to overloading. This research expands upon prior works using a game theoretic model of Tran's boundary sardine fisheries in different climatic conditions to account for ecological links...

The global need for energy is increasing at a high rate and is expected to double or increase by 50%, according to some studies, in 30 years. As a result, it is essential to look into alternative methods of producing power. Solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants utilize the sun's clean energy, but they're not always dependable since they depend on weather patterns and requires vast amount of land. Space-based solar power (SBSP) has emerged as the potential solution to this issue. SBSP can provide 24/7 baseload carbon-free electricity with power density over 10 times greater than terrestrial alternatives while requiring far less land...

The carrot-made LTB-Syn antigen (cLTB-Syn) is a vaccine candidate against synucleinopathies based on carrot cells expressing the target antigen LTB and syn epitopes. Therefore, the development of an efficient production process is required with media culture optimization to increase the production yields as the main goal. In this study, the effect of two nitrogen sources (urea and glutamate) on callus cultures producing cLTB-Syn was studied, observing that the addition of 17 mM urea to MS medium favored the biomass yield...
