The article spotlights the impediments of the localization agenda in the Rohingya response in Bangladesh through the notion of humanitarian space. The Rohingyas rely entirely on material aid and humanitarian services in the camps, mainly stemming from international actors committed to the localization agenda, which, however, has not been effectively implemented. Drawing on the definition of humanitarian space as an arena, we investigate the main negotiations within humanitarian space in the Rohingya response and how they impede the realization of the localization agenda.

Aim: Coronary artery calcification is an important factor influencing revascularisation outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Lesion preparation using rotational atherectomy (RA) may help adequately modify calcified plaques and facilitate the achievement of optimal clinical outcomes in these patients. In this study, we assessed the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using RA followed by new-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in patients with CKD and calcified coronary artery disease (CAD).

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, an exocrine tumor, is the most common type of cancer of the pancreas and one of the top five most prominent causes of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. The survival rate for pancreatic cancer is sadly less than 8%. The high fatality rate is partly related to late diagnosis and partly to the aggressive nature of malignant cells that disseminate to nearby tissues at an early stage of the disease, making treatment difficult.

Pancreatic cancer prognosis has remained poor and no significant improvement has been achieved over the past two decades. A number of genetic alterations are found in pancreatic cancer with a complex genome and proteome that needs further research investigation and discovery. There is an urgent need for innovative research findings that would increase the 5-year survival rate in patients with pancreatic ductal carcinoma, which in fact has seen only small increments over the past two decades.

Background: Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is diagnosed by the presence of an absolute plasma cell count of > 2 × 10/L or 20% plasma cells in the peripheral blood. Because the incidence of PCL is relatively low, our case report study presents a rare opportunity to describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of this leukemia, as well as different modalities of treatment and outcomes of primary PCL (pPCL).

Finding why protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are so specific can provide a valuable tool in a variety of fields. Statistical surveys of so-called transient complexes (like those relevant for signal transduction mechanisms) have shown a tendency of polar residues to participate in the interaction region. Following this scheme, residues in the unbound partners have to compete between interacting with water or interacting with other residues of the protein.
