Magnetic structure of the Co ions in monoclinic CoTeO in the antiferroelectric state at 16 K has been determined by neutron powder together with single-crystal diffractions. The indices of the magnetic reflections that appear at the incommensurate positions were determined by diffractions from a single crystal, which allow to uniquely identify the magnetic modulation vector. There are two crystallographically distinct Co layers.

Two lattice incommensurate (ICM) phases were found, one at higher temperatures, marked ICM, which appeared between 147 and 135 K. The second one, marked ICM, developed below 143 K and remained at 75 K.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed the impact of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels on clinical outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
- The meta-analysis included seven studies, revealing that higher LDH levels were significantly linked to shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), with more pronounced effects in Asian and Caucasian populations.
- The findings suggest that elevated LDH levels may serve as a negative prognostic marker for NSCLC patients undergoing EGFR-TKI therapy.
Some studies found that there was a significant association between asthma and the risk of lung cancer. However, the results are inconclusive. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis.

Introduction: Recently, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) indicated that rs7216389 polymorphism on chromosome 17q21 was associated with paediatric asthma risk. However, the results remained controversial. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed.

Methods: Two hundred and ten cases with tendon injury were randomly divided into 3 groups and all of the patients were administered Bupivacaine (0.25%), Papaverine (0.
