The stabilization of visibility for sequentially presented, low-contrast objects: Experiments and neural field model.

In any environment, events transpire in temporal sequences. The general principle governing such sequences is that each instance of the event is influenced by its predecessors. It is shown here that this principle is true for a fundamental aspect of visual perception: visibility.

A nonrandomized phase I and biomarker trial of regorafenib in advanced myeloid malignancies.

We conducted a single-center, open-label, dose escalation, and expansion phase I trial of the antiangiogenic multikinase inhibitor regorafenib in patients with advanced myeloid neoplasms. We enrolled 16 patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). A 3 + 3 dose escalation design was used with two planned dose levels (120 or 160 mg daily) and one de-escalation level (80 mg daily).

Chemotherapy Resistance in B-ALL with Cryptic NUP214-ABL1 Is Amenable to Kinase Inhibition and Immunotherapy.

BCR-ABL1 kinase inhibitors have improved the prognosis of Philadelphia-chromosome-positive (Ph+)-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Ph-like (or BCR-ABL1-like) ALL does not express BCR-ABL1 but commonly harbors other genomic alterations of signaling molecules that may be amenable to therapy. Here, we report a case with a NUP214-ABL1 fusion detected at relapse by multiplexed, targeted RNA sequencing.

Ixazomib in addition to chemotherapy for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in older adults.

We sought to assess the safety of adding ixazomib, an oral proteasome inhibitor, to a multi-agent treatment regimen for older adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Patients 51 to 75 years of age with newly diagnosed ALL were screened. Induction consisted of prednisone (P), vincristine (V), and doxorubicin (D).
