Primary extranodal diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: Molecular features, treatment, and prognosis
One‐third of DLBCL arises from extranodal organs and is challenging to manage. Molecular features are critical to elucidate the differences in clinical features, predict the disease prognosis, and improve effective targeted therapeutic strategies. Abstract Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma and ...

Pneumococcus and the stress-gradient hypothesis: a trade-off links $R_0$ and susceptibility to co-colonization across countries [PDF]
Modern molecular technologies have revolutionized our understanding of bacterial epidemiology, but reported data across different settings remain under-integrated in common theoretical frameworks. Pneumococcus serotype co-colonization, caused by the polymorphic bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae, has been increasingly investigated in recent years. While

Invariant means, complementary averages of means, and a characterization of the beta-type means [PDF]
We prove that whenever the selfmapping $(M_1,\dots,M_p)\colon I^p \to I^p$, ($p \in \mathbb{N}$ and $M_i$-s are $p$-variable means on the interval $I$) is invariant with respect to some continuous and strictly monotone mean $K \colon I^p \to I$ then for every nonempty subset $S \subseteq\{1,\dots,p\}$ there exists a uniquely determined mean $K_S \colon

Protective loop ileostomy or colostomy? A risk evaluation of all common complications [PDF]
Purpose Protective ileostomy and colostomy are performed in patients undergoing low anterior resection with a high leakage risk. We aimed to compare surgical, medical, and daily care complications between these 2 ostomies in order to make individual ...

Renault's $j$-map for Fell bundle $C^*$-algebras [PDF]
If $p \colon \mathcal B\to G$ is a Fell bundle over an \'etale groupoid, then we show that there is an norm reducing injective linear map $j \colon C^*_r(G;\mathcal B)\to \Gamma_{0}(G;\mathcal B)$ generalizing the well know map $j \colon C^*_{r}(G)\to C_{0}(G)$ in the case of an \'etale groupoid.

Changes in neuromuscular structure and functions of human colon during ageing are region-dependent [PDF]
Objective: To determine if human colonic neuromuscular functions decline with increasing age.Design: Looking for non-specific changes in neuromuscular function, a standard burst of electrical field stimulation (EFS) was used to evoke neuronally mediated (
