Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwelling determines large-scale oceanic circulation properties like heat and carbon transport. In the ocean interior, this turbulent mixing is caused mainly by breaking internal waves: generated predominantly by winds and tides, these waves interact nonlinearly, transferring energy downscale, and finally become unstable, break and mix the water column.

However, the processes leading to mixing and the pathways through which this upwelling occurs remain insufficiently understood. Recent observational and theoretical work has suggested that deep-water upwelling may occur along the ocean's sloping seafloor; however, evidence has, so far, been indirect.

Turbulent fluxes are proportional to the rate of turbulent kinetic energy dissipation per unit mass, ε. A common method for ε measurements is using microstructure profilers with shear probes.

Methods: IFCT-1905 CLINATEZO is a nationwide, non-interventional, retrospectivestudy of patients with extensive-SCLC receivingatezolizumab plus chemotherapy as part of French Early Access Program.

Bevacizumab-pemetrexed/cisplatin (BEV-PEM/CIS) is a first-line therapeutic for advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer. Bevacizumab potentiates PEM/CIS cytotoxicity by inducing transient tumor vasculature normalization. BEV-PEM/CIS has a narrow therapeutic window.

The development of new targeted therapies in cancer has led to the evaluation of MEK-inhibitors. : This article reviews different studies using trametinib alone, in combination with other targeted therapies or associated with other non-targeted therapies in NSCLC, with a focus on mutant and mutant NSCLC.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFConcomitant administration of bevacizumab and pemetrexed-cisplatin is a common treatment for advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Vascular normalization following bevacizumab administration may transiently enhance drug delivery, suggesting improved efficacy with sequential administration. To investigate optimal scheduling, we conducted a study in NSCLC-bearing mice.
