Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how the timing of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) relative to radiotherapy (RT) affects outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly comparing prostate-only RT (PORT) and whole-pelvis RT (WPRT).
  • Researchers analyzed data from 12 randomized trials involving 7,409 patients and utilized advanced statistical methods to assess the impact of ADT sequencing on metastasis-free survival and overall survival.
  • Findings indicated that for patients receiving PORT, concurrent/adjuvant ADT resulted in better metastasis-free survival and lower rates of prostate cancer-specific mortality, whereas WPRT showed no significant differences in outcomes based on ADT timing.

Background: Microbes can grow in indoor environments if moisture is available, and we need an improved understanding of how this growth contributes to emissions of microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs). The goal of this study was to measure how moisture levels, building material type, collection site, and microbial species composition impact microbial growth and emissions of mVOCs. We subjected two common building materials, drywall, and carpet, to treatments with varying moisture availability and measured microbial communities and mVOC emissions.
