Preliminary diagnosis of eye health via wavefront parameters based on statistical frequency distributions

European Journal of Medical Research
Background Eye disease is a global health issue, and current diagnostic methods are complex, costly and more suitable for final diagnosis. In order to detect abnormal eyes earlier, it is necessary to develop a simple and low-cost method for preliminary ...

The impact of CTLA-4 blockade and interferon-α on clonality of T-cell repertoire in the tumor microenvironment and peripheral blood of metastatic melanoma patients

OncoImmunology, 2019
Patients with metastatic melanoma were treated with tremelimumab and interferon-α (IFN) in a previously reported clinical trial [NCT00610857]. Responses were assessed by RECIST criteria as complete (CR) or partial (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive

Improving the cotton simulation model, GOSSYM, for soil, photosynthesis, and transpiration processes

Scientific Reports, 2023
GOSSYM, a mechanistic, process-level cotton crop simulation model, has a two-dimensional (2D) gridded soil model called Rhizos that simulates the below-ground processes daily. Water movement is based on gradients of water content and not hydraulic heads.

Bridging the Loneliness Gap: Depression, Connectivity, and Isolation in Pediatric Oncology Patients and Their Peers

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Loneliness is associated with adverse physical and mental health outcomes and remains understudied in children and adolescents undergoing cancer therapy. Pediatric oncology patients may be at increased risk due to medical isolation and disruption of social networks.

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...
